Ego
Thom Yorke Burial and Four Tet Lyrics

I feel light up on my feet
I feel uplifted and energized.

From the way you look at me
Because of the affection and admiration I sense from you.

You open up the universe
You make me explore and understand things beyond my reach.

Yeah I bet you get this all the time
I am aware you might receive this type of admiration frequently.

I crumble when you touch my wings
I feel powerless, exposed, and vulnerable when you touch the most sensitive part of me.

But that's okay 'cause I'm nothing
My sense of identity and worth are not defined by what you think of me.

I'm tougher than you think
I have the resilience to endure even the most difficult situations.

The no-hopers
People who do not have any chance of succeeding or achieving their goals.

The overwhelmers
People who impose themselves in a forceful and overwhelming way.

The sweet talkers
People who use flattery and charm to manipulate or persuade others.

I bet you get this all the time
I am convinced that you encounter these types of people frequently.

I bet they just throw themselves at you
I am pretty sure these people pursue you relentlessly to get your attention.

The daydreamers
People who have unrealistic or utopian fantasies and ideas.

The dope smokers
People who use drugs to escape or cope with their problems.

The loose talkers
People who gossip, spread rumors, or talk too much without thinking.

Evil lovers
People who exploit or harm their partners emotionally or physically.

Go-getters
People who are highly motivated and proactive in pursuing their goals.

Fare workers
People who work hard and honestly to earn their living.

Yeah I bet you get this all the time
I am certain that you encounter all sorts of people who try to impress or attract you.

I can't make this any clearer
I am being honest and straightforward about my feelings and intentions.

I can't make this any simpler
I cannot explain or express myself in a more basic or concise way.

Still passin' through my fingers
My attempts to convey my emotions or grab your attention seem to go unnoticed or disregarded.

The day dreamers
People who have unrealistic or utopian fantasies and ideas.

The evil lover
People who exploit or harm their partners emotionally or physically.

The sweet talkers
People who use flattery and charm to manipulate or persuade others.

Yeah I bet you get this all the time
I am sure that you encounter these kinds of people often.

I bet they just throw themselves at you
I am convinced these people pursue you relentlessly to get your attention.
