Ego
Copia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking the silence
Darkness holding so true
Restless nights bring temptation and violence
Distant fragments of you
Conversations with my silent deceiver
Always stand in my way
Selfish tales resonate
Now it feels like I'm alive
The fire inside has started to rise
Sensations are in overdrive
The signs have shown me why
I can't deny the feeling
Burning through my mind
(I've searched outside for so long
Yet the answer lies inside)
Ride the wave Savout every moment
'Till you pull me back down
Elevate to anchor my intention
'Till I'm back on the ground
Atrophy and sensory commotion
A constant tear at the heart
Colder than a stone denier of emotion
You won't let me go
I scathe
I can only define the way
Say, how I'll live out my fate
I'll search outside no longer
I can't deny my fate
The lyrics of Copia’s song Ego explore the struggle of an individual to find their true identity and purpose in life. The opening lines “I can hear it, Breaking the silence, Darkness holding so true” seem to indicate a sense of foreboding that the individual feels about their inability to find clarity in their own thoughts. The restlessness they are experiencing brings temptation and violence, further adding to their inner turmoil. The line “Distant fragments of you” is perhaps an indication that the individual is searching for a sense of self that is not defined by external factors, but rather by their own inner voice.
The following lines talk about the conversations with the “silent deceiver” that always stand in the way of the singer’s journey towards self-discovery. This “inner misguided believer” is perhaps an aspect of themselves that is holding them back. However, the singer seems to have had a breakthrough moment, as indicated by the lines “Now it feels like I'm alive, The fire inside has started to rise” and “The signs have shown me why”. They seem to have found the answers they were searching for, and have started on a path towards self-acceptance.
The chorus talks about the singer’s inability to deny the feeling that is “burning through their mind”. They seem to have given up the search for answers outside, and have found that the answer lies within themselves. The lines “Ride the wave, Savor every moment, 'Til you pull me back down, Elevate to anchor my intention, 'Til I'm back on the ground” indicate that the singer has found a sense of balance within themselves, and is trying to hold on to it.
Some possible interpretations of the lyrics are that the singer is struggling with a sense of identity, trying to find their true self amidst the chaos of the world around them. They seem to have been held back by their own inner voice, which is perhaps a manifestation of their own fears and doubts. However, they seem to have found the answers they were searching for, and are trying to hold on to this sense of awareness and self-acceptance.

googugajoob- that is an immensely harsh and unnecessary comment... they are just starting out, give them some credit. no first album is expected to be a masterpiece.

Ego uh...I grabbed a copy of your EP after Karnivool at the Palace Theatre...I'm cringing through the whole thing. You guys try way too hard...

I think that your comment is unfounded as do you really enjoy this type of music? Not all bands are for everyone. I am not a massive fan of this style but enjoy this kind of music here and there. I play and sing metal music and I personally find this music well constructed and has some very original concepts and is highly interesting. I think maybe you try a little to hard to be cool and fit in with your choice of music and bands that you like... Open your mind a little more and just enjoy the music and the expression!

I do listen to this kind of music, thankyou...but you know it's just my opinion, right? I'll be more sharp and on point then...there's a very polished production quality but if the songs aren't much of a stand out, it won't do much else for the music...there
