Ego
Milky Chance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego, oh, oh

And I'm missing my miss of roses
Holding my head high up and
My head high up and
I know that she is stronger
'Cause she can break the silence, break the silence
So meet me by sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else

Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away

Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego

When I'm seeing my miss of roses
The world is turning slower
Turning slower
And I guess that she's the strongest
That I have ever seen yet
Ever seen yet
And all along the way she'll need our love
Got to take care of her now
Care of her now
So meet us by the sea, you see it's ours
And our place to be somewhere else

Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away
Gold shimmering sand is making me thinking of her
Thinking of her
But I am at Half Moon Bay
It's just too far away
Just too far away

Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego
Just too far away
Ego, see your ego
Ego, see your ego

Overall Meaning

The song Ego by Milky Chance seems to be about a person who is struggling with their own ego and is missing their loved one. The chorus "Ego, see your ego" can be interpreted as a reminder to the person to let go of their ego and focus on what's truly important. This is further emphasized by the mention of "missing my miss of roses" and the longing for their presence. The idea that the world turns slower when they are in the presence of their loved one and that they are the strongest person the singer has ever seen suggests a deep respect and admiration for the person.


The idea of meeting by the sea and the repeated mention of gold shimmering sand may be a metaphor for a place of peace and tranquility that the couple shares. The line "our place to be somewhere else" might imply that this place is somewhere they can escape from the stresses of everyday life and just be together.


Overall, the song seems to be a mix of introspection and longing for a romantic partner. The chorus rings true in reminding us to let go of our egos and focus on what's truly important in life.

Am I the only one who just finds this song amazingly beautiful in a "sad" way? I don't know why I feel this way about this song but it's just an amazing song to me and when I read the lyrics it makes me sad but happy at the same time. And don't even get me started on the acoustic version because that one just makes me feel even more passionate about the song.
