Evolve
Egokills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to medicate
Myself out from this world
Escape into space
Is a heavenly craze
& The stars they illuminate
Mind divided
Shattered self remains
The more I fight it
More I forget
Was it something that I ate?
Open wide is third eye
Stargate inside
Change won't be left
For tomorrow
Shine and evolve now
In silence I'm drifting
As I shift in 4D
Here I come
Levitating
As I bathe in the sun
All is one
Into unknown
Right into the void
Fragmented soul arrives
Puzzle of self all gathered as one
A picture all done
The lyrics in Egokills' song Evolve convey a sense of disconnection from the world and a yearning for escape. The opening lines, "Take me away / I need to medicate / Myself out from this world" suggest a desire to numb oneself from the challenges of reality. References to space and the stars further emphasize the need for a fresh perspective, something beyond the mundane.
The next few lines reveal a struggle within the singer's mind, which they're finding hard to control. "Shattered self remains / The more I fight it / More I forget" signals a sense of confusion and frustration. Their attempts to regain control seem to be alienating them from a deeper sense of self, and they question "Was it something that I ate?" - indicating that they're wondering whether an external factor is causing their inner turmoil.
However, the song takes a more positive tone towards the end when the singer starts to embrace the unknown and the infinite possibilities it holds. They speak of "Open wide is third eye / Stargate inside" - suggesting a spiritual awakening and a realization that transformation is possible. The final lines, "All is one / Into unknown / Right into the void / Fragmented soul arrives / Puzzle of self all gathered as one / A picture all done" indicate a sense of completion and wholeness, with all the disparate pieces of the singer's personality finally coming together.
