In 2010, Channel Zero made a widely noted comeback. At the request of fans, they played six reunion concerts in Brussels which quickly sold-out. They also released a new single. They are also scheduled to play at Graspop Metal Meeting (Dessel). In January 2010, Channel Zero features a slightly different line-up: Mikey Doling (ex-Soulfly, ex-SNOT) replaces Xavier Carion on lead guitar, since the latter suffers from ear damage.
Ego
Channel Zero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
because i know that you were a fool
and you have heart of a lion and know that
i'm crazy too
control your own expressions
and who you are i'm not perfect
i reach for the stars
did i fool myself about myself
or just this ego
will you ask yourself about yourself
and just let go
control your own expressions
and who you are i'm not perfect
i reach for the stars
bring me tomorrow
you're ego brings only sorrow
bring me tomorrow
you're ego brings only sorrow
i'm a fighter
comparing to something bigger
not diluting who you are i'm a fighter
bring me tomorrow
control your own expressions
and who you are i'm not perfect
i reach for the stars
i'm a fighter
comparing to something bigger
not diluting who you are
i'm a fighter
bring me tomorrow
