Ego
Milky Chance Lyrics

Ego, see your ego
The singer is telling himself to recognize and confront his own sense of self-importance or self-esteem.

And I'm missing my miss of roses
The singer is longing for a woman that he cares about who is not present.

Holding my head high up and
The singer is trying to be confident and resilient despite the absence of his loved one.

My head high up and
Same as above.

I know that she is stronger
The artist acknowledges and admires the strength of the woman he misses.

'Cause she can break the silence, break the silence
The woman has the power to communicate effectively and overcome any tension or awkwardness between them.

So meet me by sea, you see it's ours
The singer is suggesting a location to meet and spend time together.

And our place to be somewhere else
The sea is a place they can go to escape their daily lives and have a new experience.

Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
The beauty of the sand reminds the artist of his loved one.

But I am at Half Moon Bay
The artist is physically far away from the person he longs for.

It's just too far away
The distance is too great and it is difficult to overcome.

When I'm seeing my miss of roses
When the artist thinks of the woman he cares about...

The world is turning slower
...everything seems to be moving at a leisurely pace.

And I guess that she's the strongest
The singer believes that his loved one is very strong, perhaps emotionally or mentally.

That I have ever seen yet
The singer has not encountered someone as resilient as his loved one before.

And all along the way she'll need our love
The artist recognizes that his loved one needs support and care.

Got to take care of her now
The artist feels a sense of responsibility to care for and nurture his loved one.

Just too far away
The distance is still a major obstacle and cannot be ignored.

Ego, see your ego
The singer repeats his earlier line, reminding himself again to reflect on his own sense of self-importance.

Just too far away
The distance remains a significant challenge.

Ego, see your ego
The artist repeats his earlier line one last time, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection.
