Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fly like an ego with th wind beneath your wings because the worlds got your back or so you think and you're right
On track cast out and sink little big man you stand so tall but in reality you're so small who's the next target
You got them in your sights with your finger on the trigger sacrifice to make you bigger who's got your back.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of L.A.D.É's "Little Lion Man" speaks of the concept of egoism and the consequences that come with it. The first line, "Fly like an ego with the wind beneath your wings because the world's got your back or so you think and you're right," talks about how ego, when boosted, can make someone feel powerful and invincible. They tend to believe that the world is in their favor, and they will succeed at everything they do. However, the next line, "On track cast out and sink little big man you stand so tall but in reality, you're so small" gives the idea that this kind of thinking is often delusional, and the reality might be far from the truth. The ego might make someone feel taller and more significant, but in reality, they might be small in the grand scheme of things.


The last two lines, "who's the next target, you got them in your sights with your finger on the trigger sacrifice to make you bigger who's got your back," shows the dark side of egoism. When someone's ego is bruised, they tend to blame someone else and go after them to feel better about themselves. The idea of sacrifice to make someone bigger shows that sometimes, the situation can become violent, and someone else might end up being the victim. The last line, "who's got your back" questions the loyalty and support that someone can expect when they let their ego overpower rational thinking.


Line by Line Meaning

Fly like an ego with th wind beneath your wings because the worlds got your back or so you think and you're right
You're confident and feel like you have the world's support, but it may just be your ego driving you forward.


On track cast out and sink little big man you stand so tall but in reality you're so small who's the next target
Though you may seem powerful and in control, you're actually vulnerable and could easily fall from grace. Who will be the next to suffer from your wrath?


You got them in your sights with your finger on the trigger sacrifice to make you bigger who's got your back.
You're ready to take down anyone who gets in your way, even if it means sacrificing others to further your own interests. But who will support you when those you've hurt seek revenge?
