[English]

Mirror, tell me who’s the fairest

Even if that makes me a megalo

Come tickle my ego

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let me come into your matrix

And taste all your delights

No one can talk me out of it

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

I’ll do everything to support you

Given that I’m so stubborn

I feel good in my bubble

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Everything’s beautiful, Everything’s pink

As long as I command

Tell me who’s the fairest

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Mirror, what have you done with my head

This dishonest transformation

This is not what I asked for

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

This buzz was only a fake

I’m no longer in the matrix

Nobody’s left to talk about it

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

I will do anything to recover

What I am currently wasting

Out of my bubble at last

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Everything’s beautiful, Everything’s pink

Before my ego commands

I’m done looking at you

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Ego Ego

Ego Ego Ego Ego Ego Ego

Ego Ego

Ego Ego

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go

Let’s go let’s go let’s go
