Ego
G-Dragon/T.O.P/Taeyang/Daesung/Seungr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time after time I
Follow these lines I
Drew for myself to find my
Way outta hell I need some help
But I won't tell em
No I can't fail you
I'm just gone sell you my soul
That's why I give you my all
In these songs
Am I wrong?
For wanting some more in
This life I live
We fight but fear
Our rights ain't there
I might change but I'm still stuck in my ways
I fear the day that you don't mention my name
But, guess I'm to blame I always stay by my lonesome
Running away I always look like I stole some
Lately I've grown numb to feelings won't show none
Say I'm awoken but only in dreams yeah
Reality the line is blurring with ease
The clock is turning in days
Why do I feel out of place
Cause everybody's a fake
And it's just me and my ego
Like two different people
You know that I stay low
Just watching the day go
While chasing them pesos
Whatever I say goes
And it's just me and my ego
Me and my ego
It's just me and my ego
Like two different people
I'm on this ego trip
My hands are slipping
My mind is following quickly
I'm fading why don't you hear me I'm Faded
Father forgive me I'm crazy
You know you made me this way
I used to pray to you daily lately I'm drifting away
I write my heart on the page and just hope you give it a play




How can I live for tomorrow I'm barely living today
Know I'm a sinner father

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to G-Dragon/T.O.P/Taeyang/Daesung/Seungr's song Ego describe the struggle of an artist who is caught between his desire for success and loyalty to himself. The artist confesses to his audience that he has been drawing lines for himself, leaving him feeling trapped in his own hell. He admits that he needs help but won't tell anyone, instead, he plans on selling his soul to his music. The artist is aware that he may be wrong, but he can't help wanting more out of life, even though he is constantly battling with fear and fighting for his rights. The artist acknowledges that he may change but still be stuck in his ways, and there's a possibility of fading away if he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.


The artist feels like someone who is different and out of place, trying to make a name for himself in a world where people are fake.

The song portrays the complexities and struggles that come with success, fame, and living up to people's expectations, emphasizing an artist's need to stay true to themselves, even in the midst of everything.
