Ego
Gry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It shall be you that crosses my land
That walks in my sand
That drips in my mind
It shall be you that teases my dew
That dance in my language
That influences my view
Ego, ego, ego where you go
It shall be you if I tell you to
My ego complains that in those wishes of you
I'm too far away
Ego
Ego demands that it shall be you
That poems my skin




That salties my tongue
That those pieces of you, it's to me they belong.

Overall Meaning

In Gry's song Ego, the lyrics open with a poignant and cryptic verse stating that "it shall be you that crosses my land, that walks in my sand, that drips in my mind." This opening is characterized by an almost prophetic air, conjuring the image of a lover who has a powerful and mysterious impact on the singer's subconscious. The image of "walking in my sand" is especially evocative, as it implies a sense of intimacy as well as a degree of transience. This is further emphasized in lines like "teases my dew" and "influences my view," which both imply that this lover has a profound impact on the singer's perceptions and emotions.


The repetition of the word "ego" throughout the song is also noteworthy, and suggests that the song is exploring themes of self-importance and self-image. The lines "My ego complains that in those wishes of you I'm too far away. Ego demands that it shall be you" seem to suggest that the singer's ego is in conflict with their desires and emotions, and that their sense of self is threatened by the power that this lover has over them. The line "that poems my skin, that salties my tongue" is also a beautiful example of the way that the song uses sensory imagery to create a vivid and emotional landscape.


Overall, Ego is a powerful and poetic song that explores themes of love, desire, and self-discovery. With its evocative lyrics and beautiful imagery, it is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt the tug of conflicting emotions in matters of the heart.
