Ego Lyrics Meaning Padi | 28

The lyrics ask, ‘How are we ever going to move forward when sometimes I’m not always on the same page?’ Piyu uses this line to show the tension between love and pride. The vocalist expresses the weight of ego, admitting it’s too heavy to let go of someone they deeply care about.

Apakah yang salah dengankuWhat’s wrong with me
Mengapa terjadi pertikaian iniWhy is this conflict happening
Mengingat pertengkaran yang laluRecalling all the arguments we’ve had,
Mungkin karena kita belum dewasamaybe it’s because we’re just not mature yet
Tapi tak mungkin aku menyakitimuBut there’s no way I’d ever hurt you
Dan tak terbesit untuk menafikanmuAnd I’ve never even thought of denying you
Engkau cinta sejatikuYou’re my one true love
Sebenarnya niatku untuk meninggalkan kamuHonestly, I intended to leave you
Namun terhalang oleh kuat rasa cintakuBut I’m held back by the power of my love
Aku harus mengalahkan semua egokuI’ve got to defeat all of my pride
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy
Bagaimana kita akan melangkahHow are we ever going to move forward
Sedang kadang aku tak selalu sejalanWhen sometimes I’m not always on the same page
Benarkah kemungkinan terburukIs the worst-case scenario really true,
Lanjut bersama atau berhenti di sinito keep going together or just stop right here
Takkan mungkin ku bisa melepaskanThere’s no way I could ever let go
Cintamu melekat erat kepadakuYour love is stuck so tightly to me
Membayangi selamanya ahOvershadowing me forever, ah
Sebenarnya niatku untuk meninggalkan kamuHonestly, I intended to leave you
Namun terhalang oleh kuat rasa cintakuBut I’m held back by the power of my love
Aku harus mengalahkan semua egokuI’ve got to defeat all of my pride
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy,
Diriku untuk meninggalkan dirimufor me to leave you behind
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy
Rasa ini tak bisa berubahThis feeling won’t ever change
Aku tak ingin semuaI don’t want any of this
Terjadi ohto happen, oh
Sebenarnya niatku ‘tuk meninggalkan kamuHonestly, I intended to leave you
Namun terhalang oleh kuat rasa cintakuBut I’m held back by the power of my love
Aku harus mengalahkan semua egokuI’ve got to defeat all of my pride
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy
Sebenarnya niatku untuk meninggalkan kamuHonestly, I intended to leave you
Namun terhalang oleh kuat rasa cintakuBut I’m held back by the power of my love
Aku harus mengalahkan semua egokuI’ve got to defeat all of my pride
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy,
Diriku untuk melepaskan dirimufor me to let you go
Terlalu beratIt’s just too heavy
