Ego, stylized in all lowercased letters, is the second single to precede Marcus Skeen’s second homemade album, ‘Dragonfly’. Produced and recorded over the span of two days, ‘ego’ introduces a playful beat that serves as the foundation for a heavy bass and punchy vocal performance from Skeen.

The song discusses a friendship that ended negatively, in which the friend had been manipulative, condescending, etc. Thus, Skeen felt devalued and helpless for the months leading up to this friendship’s collapse. The song details, however, that at some point, Skeen revitalized a sense of self worth, and it grew “ a little bigger than I wanted”, implying that he now has an inflated ego.

This might explain the unapologetic and near brash nature of the song, as Skeen comes to terms with his worth, and the incidents he was subjected to during this friendship.

"Lost in Silence (Aphelios' Song)" lyrics:

I wonder if it's getting lonely
In the stars
My plan was to make it up there,
In the heart
Dreams have a way of crumbling
Seems like I'm falling, stumbling
And I
Love all the hypocrites
That say they wanna help
And then they turn a blind eye, running, running

Don't say "you'll be alright"
I hold my crying, screaming, every night and
I'd rather light a fire beneath
Than tell you, "I need help, I need you, I'll beg and I'll plead and"

I got people saying "Phel, look at what you have"
I don't want it
Cause all that I wanted was what I'll never have again, never gonna win
Patiently I wait for freedom
Want my voice but silence seeps in

Don't say "you'll be alright"
I hold my crying, screaming, every night and
I'd rather light a fire beneath
Than tell you, "I need help, I need you, I'll beg and I'll plead and"
Don't say "you'll be alright"
I hold my crying, screaming, every night and
I'd rather light a fire beneath
Than tell you, "I need help, I need you, I'll beg and I'll plead and"

"You should calm down
You'll be fine, it's nothing"
It's my life, it's hurting
Just to dream, while knowing
It can
Slip away
Like moonlight
Dance and fade in
New eyes
Every day there's new eyes
Living the life I wanted to live, so

Don't say "you'll be alright"
I hold my crying, screaming, every night and
I'd rather light a fire beneath
Than tell you, "I need help, I need you, I'll beg and I'll plead and"
Don't say "you'll be alright"
I hold my crying, screaming, every night and
I'd rather light a fire beneath
Than tell you, "I need help, I need you, I'll beg and I'll plead and"

Don't try talking to me
I think I'll get accustomed
To the silence
Don't try looking for me
I'm getting lost in, what was
Lost in silence

Lyrics:
I heard the coffee in Panama
Tastes like a new life 
And God knows I need one right now
Oh, I suspect
That my homeland is tipping over
But I’d like to get older with you 

Lover, would you like
to catch the nearest flight?
I can pay your ticket, too
And we’ll dream so future-proof 
evil, you can try
to cut the silken hope
that we wove with tearful eyes
but you’ll never bring me home
if I get away

Get away

You say you want me, and I’ve long since made up my mind
I like the bitter brew you are 
Ooh
Too late to take back the words that I gave you, it’s your time 
To show me the ways in which you pine 

Why’s it hard to say?
that you want me everyday?
I’m your coffee in the noon
And you’ll crash if I don’t play
Yet you’re
Troubled, and you lie
And you do it to my face
When you work I keep you high
But when I ask to get away

Do you really wanna get away?
(Get away)
I know I need to get away
(Get away)
Do you really wanna get away?
(Get away)
(Get away)

Panama, Montreal
Don't you wanna get away from all
The pain?
(Escape the pain)
Escape the pain
Panama, Montreal
Don't you wanna get away from all
The pain?
(Escape the pain)
Escape the pain
Panama, Montreal
Don't you wanna get away from all
The pain?
(Escape the pain)
Escape the pain

If I Get Away

Official Lyrics:

I know
You got better people to see
They know how to teach you to breathe
Sweet air, and it's sweeter than me
But

Baby, I'm a connoisseur
I do this on the daily
I can see you got a disconnect, lately
I'm a fixer, I'm a helper, let me help you
Help you find a

Lover sweeter than the moment we shared
It's no fair at all
I think I want you all to myself, and I know

You got better people to see
They know how to teach you to breathe
Sweet air, and it's sweeter than me
But
Pink gunshot in the air, hit me square
In the heart, like you didn't care
That you made me a fool for you
I wanna make you one, too

Proposition
I'mma take you on a mission that you can't refuse
Like a fixing of a powder that'll light the fuse
And you better bring your best shoes out

For running far to go
When love we set explodes
If I get caught, you'll know
I'll never let you go, so run

You got better people to see
They know how to teach you to breathe
Sweet air, and it's sweeter than me
But
Pink gunshot in the air, hit me square
In the heart, like you didn't care
That you made me a fool for you
I wanna make you one, too

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
You live rent free
In the back of my mind
Baby, takin' your time
To come find me
Fake a lover for a month
Just so I get you out my tongue, yeah
It's been two years by now
I thought I'd be good
But my habits step foot on the ground
Never wanted problems like this
Like drugs like this
You drugged me up on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven set me up with this
We call it character development like this
But what if I don't want that shit
And what if all I want's yo' shit, baby
Got me looking down
Played me like a clown
And I got two, one problems with you
Quick push and pull
God, he got a fool
Chasing on his path
I'm irrational

[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm irrational, baby
See you in the mirror when I close my eyes
Wanna see you clearer but let's settle tonight
Mmm, no, I'm irrational

[Verse 2]
This a unrealistic placement, babe
You know I don't wanna fake this game
Universe just got no brakes
I give you only what I take, yeah
And if I'm taking too much
Well you're only half real
So it's really no deal, no deal at all
I don't wanna self-impose
But I think I might need to take a
Step back from this

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven set me up with this
We call it character development like this
But what if I don't want that shit
And what if all I want's yo' shit, baby
Got me looking down
Played me like a clown
And I got two, one problems with you
Quick push and pull
God, he got a fool
Chasing on his path
I'm irrational

[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm irrational, baby
If I'm really so kind
Why I'm ripping up my mind
See you in the mirror when I close my eyes
Wanna see you clearer but let's settle tonight
Mmm, no, I'm irrational

[Outro]
Imma pretend like I got you
Lemme pretend I define truth
Wanna get in, I decide who
Who I be with, in my mind, too
Imma pretend like I got you
Lemme pretend I define truth
Wanna get in, I decide who
Who I be with, in my mind, too
