'Ego Trip' is the first song from our third LP album 'Burnout', which is expected to be released in autumn 2022. The song is marked as a turning point for the new way of the band - progressive metalcore. Enjoy!

lyrics

We all cherish our sweet dreams
Of becoming someone special
We are looking in the mirror
Beaming from ear to ear

I am no exception darling
I am made of bones and flesh
It’s a commonplace that matter
Seeks its place under the sun as well

Far from being a big shot though
I’ll show them all
Ain’t a doormat, ain’t a worm
Which is where I differ from you guys

What I do and what I say
Is the integral part of my Self
Your response and your real words
Pose a threat to all my life if they are ill

Split!
You keep the fire between us
And I
I am going on
On another ego trip
Goodbye!

On another ego trip

Don’t look down on other people
Only need their high regard
Yeah I know I’m self-absorbed but
I do have some grounds for being this

In a crowd I stand out clearly
I’m another type of wine
If you weigh my greatest merits
This plain truth will stick out million miles

Split
You keep the fire between us
And I
I am going on
On another ego trip
Goodbye!

I just say goodbye

For deep down inside
I’m aware it’s eating me up
So I’ll be back for sure
And have a go at parting one more time

One more time, again this ‘one more time’
It strikes me as a hopeless shit at times, it costs a dime
One more trip, I just need one more trip
To realize I’m not a captain, not a sailor, I’m a ship

Parting the spirit and alien things
Comes as a shock to us once we’re in
Shunning reality that is so stark
We cultivate pictures making the mark
So in the end I find myself trying to make my mark

Split!
You keep the fire between us
And I
I am going on
On another ego trip
Goodbye!

I just say goodbye...
