Story Behind the Song
Your Ego is a song that helped me to express a bad time in my life, and what I see going on in a lot of relationships. You don't always see it until after the explosion sets you free. Some people don't know what love is, so they go round and round endlessly trying to satisfy their ego. But one after another, each relationship is doomed from the first "it's all about me" moment. It's about falling in love with someone who can't love you back.
Lyrics
Your Ego
I saw you on the road again
pretending that you need a friend
but you know, you never needed anyone
And now you're talking to a man
you just met, doesn't owe you anything, but he will...
And you know, that your ego kills'em
And you know, that your evil thrills'em
You play the game of love so well
And always win as far as I can tell
but you know, you never lose at anything
And darlin' if your looks could kill
You would murder men at will, cuz you know
You never needed anyone
And you know, that your ego kills'em
And you know, that your evil thrills'em
And spills'em, and knocks'em down the way you always do
When you do
What you do.....Whoa - oa - oa!
GUITAR SOLO
I saw you on the road again
pretending that you need a friend
but you know, you never needed anyone
And now you're talking to a man
you just met, some fool,
doesn't owe you anything, but he will...
And you know, that your ego kills'em
And you know, that your evil thrills'em
And spills'em, and knocks'em down the way you always do
When you do
What you do.....Whoa - oa - oa!
BREAKDOWN
Thinking of yourself as a bright shining star
Everybody else doesn't know who you are
Staking out a claim like a cat on the prowl
Lying there in wait behind your ego wall
Breast fed, bright red, doesn't matter what's said
Waylaid, self maid, breaker of hearts
Spoon fed, brain dead, wake up in a cold sweat
Cold, hard, battle scarred killer at large, yea you
You've got an ego that kills....
Baby you've got an ego, that thrills....
