Ego nr. 4
Luna Amara Lyrics

The lyrics to Luna Amara's song Ego nr. 4 describe a deeply personal and introspective struggle with self-acceptance and the fear of facing one's own flaws and vulnerabilities. The first stanza acknowledges the difficulty in recognizing one's own limitations and faults, expressed through the lines "Cat de mult ți-ai dori să crezi/Nu poți fără să vezi" (How much you wish to believe/without being able to see). The second stanza speaks to the shame and self-loathing that can come from failure, and the difficulty in finding hope or inspiration during such times, as seen in "Cât de mult te urăști când pierzi/Nu poți să visezi" (How much you hate yourself when you lose/You can't dream).

The chorus provides a sense of urgency and desperation in escaping these thoughts and feelings, with the repeated lines "Alerg și alerg/Și încerc să scap" (I run and run/And try to escape), suggesting that these struggles may feel all-consuming and overwhelming. The third stanza speaks to the ways in which we may look for external sources of blame or validation to avoid confronting our own flaws, with the lines "Numai alții sunt nebuni/Tu ești cel mai blând și bun/Numai alții-s vinovați/Numai alții sunt ratați" (Only others are crazy/You are the kindest and best/Only others are to blame/Only others are failures). The final lines, "Vreau numai să fug!" (I only want to run!), emphasize the desire to escape or avoid this process of self-examination and self-discovery, and the fear that comes with facing the unknown.
