Massive Ego - (My) Death Song (Official Music Video)

Massive Ego - (My) Death Song


“We are all born with a pair of wings and a dream of reaching the sky, but we need someone to believe in us so we can learn how to fly”
- Christy Ann Martine

"You don’t have to believe in angels to believe spirits guide our every waking hour. Shaping our paths to go in the right direction, left or right, go forward but sometimes back or come to a standstill if only to breathe. In our deepest subconscious, they talk in hushed tones. Whether you allow yourself to see their signs or listen to their advice, they still watch you because that’s all our destiny.

What you are about to view is based on a true story.

My story.

Watch what might have been or never was. Like a hallucination, an otherworldly out-of-body point of view, filmed from the heart, utilising tricks from past masters like George Méliès blending the editing prowess of music video supremo Nick Egan. Thinking outside The Box, as Miss Tilda Swinton’s ‘I Love You’ proved so beautifully. Almost saying goodbye, when in reality, all that was needed was to say farewell to the old routines, let go of those whose intent was never pure and cast aside an identity that no longer served. Escaping the barbed wire keeping me in a prison of my own making.

My spirit saved me, so I could share the experience.

I’m bruised, but I’m alive."

LYRICS

I might be down
might be out
but I refused to die
see all the fakes
and the fools
just don’t believe their lies
leave me to drown
flee or fight
I’m bruised but I’m alive
sad but true
This life’s a trial
if I could start again
I think I’d have to decline

If I could write my final words
to say goodbye to a life that hurts
I’d write it down for when I’m gone
and I’ll just call it my death song
put those words into a verse
leave my thoughts for better or worse
gone forever, goodbye so long
I’m leaving you with my Death Song

How long is too long
a length of a day
I’ve been strong all along
day after day
this life, my life
I’m not okay
I’m far gone for too long
to end it this way

Don’t stand idly by
when a love came back
It’s better when it’s not blind
overthinking done
this anger is
an old energy left behind
a relief so profound
I’d lost sight
of those demons
I couldn’t hide
deep inside you
your future is
just an awakened state of mind

If I could write my final words
to say goodbye to a life that hurts
I’d write it down for when I’m gone
and I’ll just call it my death song
put those words into a verse
leave my thoughts for better or worse
gone forever, goodbye so long
I’m leaving you with my Death Song

How long is too long
a length of a day
I’ve been strong all along
day after day
this life, my life
I’m not okay
I’m far gone for too long
to end it this way
this life my life
my life, this life
this life my life
my life, this life
I’m bruised, but I’m alive

[Simon.Carter_Official]

A very deep and emotive song that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to.
Props to Marc and the gang for this one. I really dig the video FX too, reminds me a bit of the Ray Harryhausen stop motion that I loved as a boy from yesteryear.

Brighton's never looked (or sounded!) so good 🖤

"I'm bruised but I'm alive..."

[Lemonadek]

For me personally, this is the best song by this band. It's exactly my taste, and I listen to it over and over again.

[MrStrangeMedia]

The new rock-infused electro style is great! Some killer FX work in the video as well! Very nice! 😃

[StellaWembley]

Fantastic music and video production 🎵🎵🎵

[oscary]

I really liked the description of the video, as well as the song itself and the clip. I discovered this band a few years ago by following a link from Boy George's Twitter account when he recommended the new Massive Ego video, saying that he really liked it. I followed the link, and since then I've been tracking all the new songs and studying the discography... Thank you!
