Lyrics:

[English]

I go back every day

To me of yesterday

To the life of giving up

I let myself go away

But in this world, you know

There are truths unchanged

Time rushes ever forward

There’s no ifs, buts, or maybes

Almost forgotten memories return

Touch of the devil, fateful recall

I still wonder, why did they beckon again

Every day ask me, guess it, whip it, repeat oh

Nothing that will change, so

I lock it up again, close

‘How much love? How much joy?’

Soothe myself and stay calm, alone

Yeah I don’t care, it’s all

Choices by my fate, so we’re here

Look ahead, the way is shinin’

Keep goin’ now

(Ready set and begin)

That way, way, way

Wherever my way

Only Ego Ego Ego

Just trust myself

Life not of j-hope but Jeong Ho-Seok flashes by

It must have been full of regret with no hope till I die

My dancing was chasing ghosts

Blaming my dream, asking why I live and breathe

Oh my God

Uh time goes by

Seven years of anguish come out finally

Oppressions all resolved

Into my heart come answers from my most trusted

‘Only one hope, only one soul’

‘Only one smile, only one you’

Definite answer to the truth of the world

Only one and unchanging me

Right

Now I don’t care, it’s all

Choices by my fate, so we’re here

Look ahead, the way is shinin’

Keep goin’ now

(Ready set and begin)

That way, way, way

Wherever my way

Only Ego Ego Ego

Just trust myself

Way I trust

Way I go

Became my fate

Became my core

Hard it was

And sad it was

Still reassured and

Made me know myself

Map of the Soul

Map of the All

That’s my Ego

Map of the Soul

Map of the All

That’s my Ego
