Control Lyrics

They send me away to find them a fortune

    I feel like this song is supposed to show Halsey's bipolar disorder. That means she has two personalities. This mental illness can be confusing, so in the chorus 'and all the kids cried out', that line could show kids being scare when she shows this in public. The next one, 'I can't help this awful energy', could mean, 'I don't know why this is happening to me', and then that could lead to the 'goddamn right' line, where she says, goddamn right you should be scared of me, like two voices are fighting each other for her. The last line of the chorus, 'Who is in control?' which I also consider the most haunting line of the song, could be Halsey (like Halsey, not one of her personalities) asking, 'Which personality will I have today?'
    The verses of the story, like 'They send me away to find them a fortune', could be like, 'They send me away to find them an answer to what's happening', which could be why they are still fighting. It could also be 'diamonds and gold' to the personalities of Halsey's mind.
