Ego
Saturdays (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking after each other
I thought that you were better
Look at you (look at you, look at you, look at you)
You used to be so laid back
You always kept it so cool
I loved you cause of all that
I don't think you know where your head is
I was always there to help you break the fall
And now you wanna pretend that your a superstar
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far
Don't tell me that your done as far as we go
You need to have a sit down with your ego
When everyone's gone and you are by yourself
You know that your gonna come to me for help
Don't tell me that it's time for going solo
You need to knock some sense into your ego (ego, ego, ego) Yeah
You act like you're on fire
Living your delusion
You just need you to take you higher
Off you go (off you go, off you go) Yeah
You can't make the call when you're ready
I will not be here to help you break the fall
And now you wanna pretend that your a superstar
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far
Don't tell me that your done as far as we go
You need to have a sit down with your ego
When everyone's gone and you are by yourself
You know that your gonna come to me for help
Don't tell me that it's time for going solo
You need to knock some sense into your ego (ego, ego)
And when its time for you to come back down to
Where you started, where we parted
I think you'll find that it is very hard to face
Reality is a simple thing
And now you wanna pretend that your a superstar
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far
Don't tell me that your done as far as we go (as far as we go)
You need to have a sit down with your ego
(When everyone's gone and you are by yourself)
When everyone's gone and you are by yourself
You know that your gonna come to me for help
Don't tell me that it's time for going solo
You need to knock some sense into your ego (ego, ego, ego)
The lyrics of Saturdays' song "Ego" address an issue that many people can relate to - the struggle with ego and how it can affect relationships. The verses describe a time when the two people in the relationship were supportive of each other, but one of them has now developed a big ego and thinks they are a superstar. The chorus talks about the other person urging their partner to face reality and acknowledge their ego. They warn that, when the ego trip is over, the person will struggle to come back down to earth and may need help.
The song is a scathing critique of the negative effects of ego in relationships. It points out that ego can lead to people becoming deluded and self-centered, which can ruin friendships and romantic relationships. It also highlights how ego can make it difficult to admit to mistakes and to seek help when needed.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ego" are a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting our egos get out of control. It encourages listeners to be aware of the impact that ego can have on their lives and their relationships.

I remember I met the Saturdays as I was leaving a recording studio years ago. As I was leaving Vanessa complimented me on my falsetto. I was so shook by it and never forget that amazing moment.

June 2021! This song is timeless and severely under-appreciated.

This is "Frankie's Video" in my opinion, she owns it...They're all wonderful, but Frankie is definitely the stand out here. Never mind those gor-jus eyes. ;)
