About This Track

‘Ego’ by Moaning is an alternative track from the album ‘Uneasy Laughter’, released in 2020. The lyrics pivot between extremes, with the repeated desire to lose the ego and the frustration of habitual complaint. They also invoke faith and a sense of personal separation, framing the speaker’s wish to be “anybody but myself” alongside a longing to love beyond the confines of their own self focus. The mood is restless and self-interrogating, insisting that there is beauty in ordinary life even while the narrator struggles to disengage from their own viewpoint.

"Ego" is a single by Moaning, from the album Uneasy Laughter, released 20th March 2020. The track is 3:50 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Ego

The highest high, the lowest low
I wanna lose my ego
It's easier to complain
But there is beauty in the mundane

If God is real, you are not them
If God is real, well, you are not them

I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself
I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself

We used to care, but we forgot
Have more in common than we do not
What part of you relates to me
Narcissism is not empathy

If God is real, you are not them
If God is real, well, you are not them

I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself
I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself

I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself
I wanna be anybody but myself
I wanna love anybody but myself
