The Track

Control by Halsey track analysis.

This song describes the struggle she has as a person with bipolar disorder. She describes being a child in a house and knowing there are monsters lurking. Halsey means this as a metaphor for her own demon and fears. She wants to control the demons inside of her, but the question "who is in control?" means she is not sure it is possible. Halsey sings "I'm meaner than my demons," meaning she believes she can control her own demons. However, the fight with personal demons is something everyone can relate to.
