about

The title translates to ‘’Kill the Ego’’.
Most problems in the world comes from unchecked egos. So, everyone must have a fight to the death with itself. Our egos must die. Our humanity must win and survive.

lyrics

matar el ego

(Verso 1)
Siento un dolor en mi alma
Como poner mano a la llama, no hay drama
No hay crimen sin que haya arma
Serrucho columpiando de mi rama, gran gana

Dejar todo esto para mañana
Perderme en amor propio de piyama, sabana
No creer lo que dijo la gitana
Pensarme como príncipe y no rana

Beso de cocodrilo sin berrinche
Siempre mala onda, siempre grinche
Boludo, neta, mejor no los hinches
Globo grande pide que lo pinche

(Coro)
Las heridas ni las cuento
He luchado por tanto tiempo
Solo queda un enemigo
Voy a matar a mi ego

(Bridge)
Voy a matar a mi ego
Limpiar mi ser con el fuego
Ganarle a su propio juego
Que descanse en paz, se lo ruego

(Verso 2)
De noche cuando este dormido
Sin que me sospeche, remedido
Debajo de la almohada, escondido
Un ruido que lo haga estremecido

Que pare de poner veneno en mi oído
Que pare compararme de competido
Como esquizofrénico dividido
Demasiado cuchicheo, distraído

Que ya no hable, se calle, que se haga mudo
Que cuelgue su lengua con algo agudo
Que se vuelva recuerdo, seco, huesudo
Que se rompa en la pared lo cabezudo

(Coro)

Eh oh

(Bridge)

FR

(Verset 1)
Je sens une douleur dans mon âme
Comme mettre la main à la flamme, il n’y a pas de drame
Il n’y a pas de crime sans qu’il n’y ait d’arme
Une scie qui se balance sur ma branche, grande envie

De laisser tout ça pour demain
Me perdre dans un amour propre en pyjama, couverte
Ne pas croire ce qu’a dit la gitane
Me penser comme un prince et non pas une grenouille

Baiser de crocodile, sans chichi
Toujours de mauvaise humeur, toujours grinch
Gros lâche, ce serait mieux que tu ne les gonfles pas
Les gros ballons demandent à se faire piquer

(Refrain)
Les cicatrices je ne les comptent même plus
J’ai lutté depuis si longtemps
Il ne reste qu’un seul ennemi
Je vais tuer mon égo

(Pont)
Je vais tuer mon égo
Laver mon être avec le feu
Le battre à son propre jeu
Qu’il repose en paix, je vous en prie

(Verset 2)
De nuit quand il s’est endormi
Sans qu’il me suspecte, super calculé
Sous l’oreiller, caché
Un bruit qui le fasse trembler

Qu’il arrête de mettre du venin dans mon oreille
Qu’il arrête de me comparer, de compétition
Comme un schizophrène divisé
Trop de chuchotements, distrait

Qu’il ne parle plus, se taise, qu’il devienne muet
Qu’il accroche sa langue avec quelque chose de pointu
Qu’il devienne un souvenir, sec, osseux
Que la tête de mule se casse sur le mur

(Refrain)

Eh oh

(Pont)

ENG

(Verse 1)
I feel pain in my soul
Like putting my hand on the flame, there’s no drama
There’s no crime if there’s no weapon
A saw is swinging from my branch, a big desire

To leave all this for tomorrow
To lose myself in self-love and pyjama, blanket
Don’t believe what the gypsy lady said
Think of myself as the prince, not the frog

Crocodile kiss without sobbing
Always a bad behaviour, always grinch
Man, you better not make them swell
Big balloons are just asking to get pinched

(Chorus)
I don’t even count my scars anymore
I’ve been fighting for so long
There’s only one enemy left
I’m going to kill my ego

(Bridge)
I’m going to kill my ego
Clean myself in the fire
Beat him at his own game
May he rest in peace, I pray for it

(Verse 2)
At night, when he sleeps
Without suspecting me, calculated
Under the pillow, hidden
A noise that gives him shivers

May he stop putting venom in my ear
May he stop comparing me, competing me
Like a schizophrenic, divided
Too much whispering, disturbed

May he never speak again, shuts up, mute
May he hang his tongue with something pointy
May he become a memory, dry, bony
May the hardheaded breaks his head on the wall

(Chorus)

Eh oh

(Bridge)
