Its first lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Kai Hansen, bassist Markus Grosskopf, guitarist Michael Weikath and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. By the time Hansen quit Helloween in 1989 to form Gamma Ray, the band had evolved into a five-piece, with Michael Kiske taking over as lead vocalist. Schwichtenberg and Kiske both parted ways with Helloween in 1993; Schwichtenberg died two years later as the result of suicide. Between then and 2016, there had been numerous line-up changes, leaving Grosskopf and Weikath as the only remaining original members. As a septet, their current lineup includes four-fifths of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Parts I and II-era (1987–1988) lineup, featuring three additional members, vocalist Andi Deris (who had replaced Kiske in 1994), guitarist Sascha Gerstner and drummer Daniel Löble.

Since its inception, Helloween has released 16 studio albums, three live albums, three EPs and 30 singles, was honored with 14 gold and six platinum awards and has sold more than ten million records worldwide. Helloween has been referred to as the "fathers of power metal", as well as one of the so-called "big four" of the genre's early German scene, along with Grave Digger, Rage and Running Wild, and as one of power metal "big four" overall, along with Blind Guardian, Sabaton and DragonForce.

Mr Ego
Helloween Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me down
To the ground
Just let me feel it
If I let someone down
Please welcome
Him on the losing side
I shake you off
And make my choice

Don't wanna hear you
Your slimy voice
Please go down, please
I don't wanna feel you around me

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down

I feel that man
On my back
Don't promise any crap
Someone will break your neck
You don't know how
To soak my soul
Let me out
Let me go
Open your eyes
You told nothing but lies
Please go down, please
C'mon, go down with your ego

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down

Let me go ahead, let me go

I will find an explanation
Where's my only destination
Separated ways now and forever
Is the only and only measure
Tales full of exaggerations
No more manipulations
And I think you are not funny
Your brain is just a bloated dummy

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?

If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Helloween's song Mr Ego are an exploration of the negative effects of ego and its tendency to isolate one from others. The song begins with the singer asking to be taken down to the ground and allowed to feel their emotions without letting others down. They then tell the listener, who they refer to as "Mr. Ego," to go down and not be around them.

The chorus then brings up the idea of a "higher ground" as a place to escape the mindless sound of ego. The singer questions why Mr. Ego is alone when they claim to know all the people. The second verse continues with the theme of Mr. Ego being a negative presence, with the singer stating that they feel the weight of Mr. Ego on their back and that they don't want to hear any of their promises or lies.

The bridge of the song brings up the idea of finding an explanation and a destination, away from the manipulations and exaggerations of Mr. Ego. The song concludes with the singer stating that Mr. Ego's brain is just a bloated dummy.

Overall, the song serves as an indictment of the negative effects of ego and the isolating tendencies that come with it. It encourages listeners to seek a higher ground where they can escape the mindless noise of ego and the negative influence that it can have on their interactions with others.

Line by Line Meaning

Take me down
Bring me down to your level

To the ground
To the lowest point

Just let me feel it
Let me experience the depth of your negativity

If I let someone down
If I disappoint someone

Please welcome
Accept

Him on the losing side
Allow him to lose

I shake you off
I rid myself of you

And make my choice
I make a conscious decision

Don't wanna hear you
I don't want to listen to your voice

Your slimy voice
Your deceitful tone

Please go down, please
Please disappear from my life

I don't wanna feel you around me
I don't want to be near you

Take me down to a higher ground
Elevate me from your negative influence

To survive your mindless sound
To endure your senseless chatter

If you know all the people
If you are well acquainted with everyone

Why are you alone?
Why do you lack companionship?

You'll be goin' down
You will be defeated

I feel that man
I sense that person

On my back
Following me

Don't promise any crap
Don't make false claims

Someone will break your neck
Someone will punish you

You don't know how
You lack the ability

To soak my soul
To penetrate me emotionally

Let me out
Free me

Open your eyes
Be aware

You told nothing but lies
You deceived me with falsehoods

C'mon, go down with your ego
Let go of your self-importance

Let me go ahead, let me go
Allow me to proceed and leave

I will find an explanation
I will discover a reason

Where's my only destination
Where I am meant to be

Separated ways now and forever
We are forever parted

Is the only and only measure
It is the ultimate solution

Tales full of exaggerations
Stories filled with hyperbole

No more manipulations
No more deception

And I think you are not funny
I don't find you amusing

Your brain is just a bloated dummy
Your intellect is lacking
