very beautiful piece of work Vicki yet again a powerful message to us all very well done

Egos are lying & sneaky bastards. Good to have around sometimes, but must restrain.

Your shine flows in beautiful melodies each time the beat drops, beautiful music ✌️

It was an impressive entrance !! Nice song..

This song grew out of a little disagreement I had with my sister in music, @DJShAnkAri, who is also a brilliant astrologer. She looked into my chart and pointed out that the way the stars were aligned, my ego was reacting in a way that wasn’t really “me.” At first, it stung, but then I realized how right she was — and that awareness inspired me to turn it into music. Ego’s Lie is about how the ego twists our thoughts, convinces us we’re not enough, and makes us feel alone when in truth we’re deeply connected. I wanted to capture how those illusions fall away when we choose harmony over comparison, connection over pride. 

Another song inspired by ShAnkAri’s brilliant mind and astrological insight. Thanks sis!! 🫶😘❤️🫂



LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark, a shadow at my side
Telling me I’m broken, that I’ve got to hide
It feeds on doubt, it twists the truth inside
A masquerade of power, but it’s all a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 2]
It wants me to rank, to climb a useless tower
To crush every rival, confuse strength with power
But harmony’s the circle, the truth we’ve denied
Not a pyramid of pride, but a bond that unites

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 3]
Pain becomes the anchor, it chains me to the night
But even in the silence, I can feel the light
Every soul’s a circle, every cell a flame
Together we’re the organism, never just a name

[Bridge]
Oh, ego loves the suffering
Oh, but I won’t play its game
I’ll rise above the whispering
And call it by its name

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it feeds on the disguise
But harmony reveals it, truth opens my eyes
I break the chains, I step into the sky
No more living for the ego’s lie
Ego's lie

[Chorus X2]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Outro]
The circle keeps turning, the organism breathes
Ego fades to silence, no more lies to weave
I’m a voice in the chorus, and I’m finally free
From the ego’s lie that once defined me

Ego’s Lie

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
