Ego
The God Machine Lyrics

Ego is beast
The concept of ego can take on a monstrous form, overpowering our rational and empathetic capacities.

Ego is evil
The obsession with the self and the desire for power, fame, or status can lead individuals to pursue malevolent actions.

But ego knows best
Despite the negative consequences of ego-driven behavior, the ego often convinces us that its desires are the ones that should be prioritized.

At least she says so
The ego often takes on a separate, almost otherworldly entity that we feel compelled to listen to and appease.

I am one
We often see ourselves as self-contained, separate entities, cut off from others and the world around us.

And i am all
While we may feel separate from others, we are also intimately connected to them, and our actions and decisions have an impact on them and the world at large.

But sometimes
Our sense of self can be inconsistent and changeable, and we may struggle to define who we are in relation to the world around us.

I am nothing
At times, our sense of self can be overwhelmed by feelings of emptiness, insignificance, or even a loss of identity altogether.

And you know you know my little insecurities
Despite our efforts to project strength and self-confidence, there are often deep-seated fears and self-doubts that lurk beneath the surface and impact our choices and behavior.

Like someday
We may fear that the positive traits and accomplishments we associate with our ego will one day fade away or become irrelevant.

I may fade away
We may fear that our sense of self, or the way we present ourselves to others, will gradually disappear, leaving us feeling lost or insignificant.

I can't find my way to heaven
Our sense of self and ego can often lead us astray, causing us to prioritize worldly, material concerns over spiritual or moral ones.

Who's at you your dark door
There may be outside forces, such as negative emotions, past traumas, or tempting distractions, that have a strong influence on our sense of self and the decisions we make.

Calling my name
These outside forces may exert a powerful pull on our ego or sense of self, causing us to prioritize our desires or fears over other concerns.

And who walks on these floors
We may feel like we are being watched or evaluated by those around us, which can have a significant impact on our sense of self and the choices we make.

Who's at the back door
There may be hidden or repressed thoughts or desires that impact our sense of self and the way we present ourselves to others.

Calling my name
These hidden or repressed thoughts may have a powerful influence on our sense of self, despite our efforts to keep them hidden or ignore them.

Pass the red light
Sometimes, our ego and sense of self may drive us to make risky or impulsive decisions that can have negative consequences.

Pass the red light
These reckless decisions may involve ignoring warning signs, breaking rules or boundaries, or prioritizing our own desires over the well-being of others.

Red light
These impulsive decisions may lead to harm, both to ourselves and to those around us, and may be seen as a kind of warning signal to take a step back and think more carefully about our actions.
