LYRICS: EGO
(composer [?] Willy William)
Mirror
Tell me who's the fairest of them all
Even if I become a megalomaniac
Come and stroke my ego
Go, go, go
Let me enter your matrix
Taste your delights
No one can dissuade me from it
Go, go, go
I'll do anything to accompany you
I'm really one-track-minded
I'm fine in my bubble
Go, go, go
Everything is beautiful
Everything is rosy
For as long as I need it
Tell me, who's the fairest?
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Mirror
What have you done with my head?
This dishonest transformation
It's not what I asked for
Go, go, go
The buzz is nothing but a fake
I'm no longer in the matrix
There's no longer anyone to talk to about it
Go, go, go
I'll do anything to recover
What I'm currently ruining.
Finally I've left my bubble
Go, go, go
Everything is beautiful
Everything is rosy
Before my ego imposes
I'm done with looking at you
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Ego Ego (x10)
Go, go, go
