Alter Ego
Randy Rhythm Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something loose just can't restrain it...
The mirror no longer could contain it
I cast an image... on window pane
A looking glass inside my brain

Hey I'm randy what's your pleasure?
Let the rhythm be your measure
Free the ego... there now you go
Let out the shadow from incognito

Tonight let loose your inner ego
Paint the place psychedelic mojo
That space inside my mind, I find
Alter ego... altered mind

Alter ego... altered mind
Dancin' Livin' blow my mind
What a find this thing I'm livin
Inside my mind the livin's givin’

Self medication across the nation
Take the dose in feel sensation
Tune out drop by catch a Now phrase
Get happy livin' go shoutin' praise

C'mon let loose your inner ego
Don’t live your life like in a fishbowl
The world's a mirror this I see
Thine own eye lookin' back at me

Alter ego... altered mind
Dancin' Livin' blow my mind
What a find this thing I'm livin
Inside my mind the livin's givin’

Alter ego... altered mind
Dancin' Livin' blow my mind




What a find this thing I'm livin
Inside my mind the livin's givin’

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Randy Rhythm Project's song Alter Ego talk about freeing oneself and allowing the alter ego to take over. The first stanza opens with the feeling of something being loose and uncontrollable. The singer then talks about how they can no longer see themselves in the mirror, and they cast an image of their alter ego on the window pane, a looking glass inside their brain.


The second stanza talks about introducing oneself, Randy, and welcoming the rhythm as a measure of pleasure. The ego is freed, allowing the shadow of their incognito to come out. The chorus encourages people to let go of their inner ego and go wild. Through self-medication and feeling sensation, the singer tunes out and catches the current phrase to feel happy and shout out praises.


The third stanza begins with an invitation to let go of the fishbowl experience and not to live life in a small space. The world is a mirror, and one's own ego reflects back at them. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing the idea of an altered mind and an alter ego that is dancing and living life to the fullest.


Overall, the lyrics encourage people to let go of their inhibitions, embrace their alter egos, and live life to the fullest.
