It charted at No. 16 on the US Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and at No. 9 on the US Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song describes the singer, a person who is out of control after blindly following someone's orders, losing that persons trust, and not knowing what to do or who to trust, looking for answers to his pain and sadness.

I've done everything as you say
I followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and its like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cause I don't know (do) if I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
I try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there (thought you would be there)
So let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or the things you said to me

And I may never know 
The answer to this endless mystery
(go) Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control out of control [Repeat: x7]
I'm spinning out of control 

(go)Where should I go 
(do) what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go) 'cause I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or all of the things you said to me
And I may never know the answer to this endless mystery

(go)Where should I go 
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm spinning out of control out of control 
I'm spinning out of control out of control
