Mon ego
M Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Number one j'me cramponne
Comme une icône à la con
Avec un look en aluminium
Un minimum, un minimum
Panoplie d'mégalo
Pas non plus d'mélodie
Satan m'attire, j'me tire à temps
Immédiatement, immédiatement

J'vais en toucher deux mots
Deux mots à mon ego
Ça fait des mois qu'je n'pense qu'à moi
Que mon nombril tourne de l'oeil
Le moindre reflet, il est pour moi
La moindre flaque, c'est pour ma gueule
J'vais en toucher deux mots

Deux mots à mon ego
Immédiatement

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of M's song Mon Ego tackle the theme of self-absorption and narcissism. The first line, "Number one j'me cramponne," refers to the singer clinging onto the top spot in the music industry. He calls himself an "icône à la con" (an idiotic icon) and describes his look as "en aluminium" (made of aluminum), which could symbolize a cold and artificial exterior.

The following lines mention the singer's "panoplie d'mégalo" (megalomaniacal gear) and suggest that his music lacks depth, with "pas non plus d'mélodie" (not even a melody). He also mentions being attracted to "Satan" but distancing himself from it. The chorus repeats the singer's intention to have a word with his ego, which he has been thinking about for months. The rest of the lyrics in the song reinforce the idea of his self-centeredness.

The song is a critique of the music industry and the larger culture of celebrity worship. It exposes the emptiness of seeking fame and fortune, which often leads to a preoccupation with fame and self-image, rather than genuine creativity or artistry. The song's melody is simple and repetitive, reflecting the singer's lack of musical inspiration. A synth bassline runs throughout, giving the song a mechanical and robotic quality.
