EGO (feat. TORAUMA)

"to throw it away is a sin, love is heavy."
this single line contains the essence of the song.

being with someone might just be our ego.
but if we fail to take responsibility for it, that ego turns into sin.
that's why we carry it - no matter what.

"ego", by torauma and obito, is a song about living with contradictions,
about embracing immaturity and still choosing love with responsibility.

lyrics like "skipping meals to buy a cat toy" and "holding tight so it won't spill"
aren't metaphors - they were born from the reality of protecting a fragile life.
to guard, to cover, to cling - each act might be ego,
yet through them, love takes shape.

the cover art shows the red blossoms of the judas tree (hanazuo),
a flower with the meaning of "egoism."
its branches stretch out like an umbrella over a cat,
symbolizing the weight of love, responsibility, and ego intertwined.

- "ego" is a song about holding on,
embracing even imperfection with love.
