Devin Townsend - Take My Ego Lyrics






Sunday morning
So, you arrive
Slowly this morning
Time goes by
Take my ego
So, you arrive
Silent mornings and solemn days are killing me

So, take my ego
Take my heart
Take my ego
Let it out

Cry in the morning
Cry at night
Crown is only [?]
Worn in the night
Why in the world would we lock in the night?
Crawl in the morn, then to mourn and block out the night

So, take my ego
Take my heart
Take my ego
Let it go
So many people
So many hearts
Cry at night so where you ride
Just let me go

I, I know that the words do come
We should let them flow
Now, I find in a world unkind
I just want my baby, baby, baby

So, take my ego
Take my heart
Take my ego
Let it go
So many people
So many hearts
Cry at night so where you ride
Just let me go

So, take my ego
Take my heart
Take my ego
Let it go
So many people
So many hearts
Cry in the night so where you ride
Just let me go
Just let it go
Just let me go
Just let it go
Just let it go
Just let it go

Devin Townsend Take My Ego Comments
  1. C.... V....

    Anneke! 😍😍🎶🎵🎶🎵❤🌹

  2. B.... ....

    In the albums Terria and Ocean Machine he has made songs of a similar theme but with more sophistication and perhaps effectiveness (this is a very pop-like album).

  3. F.... M....

    Heel mooi!! Prachtig!!

  4. J.... O....

    WTF? This is so stolen from that 80´s song, lol!! I love Devin but this song cracks me up.

  5. L.... ....

    THE POWER OF LOV---
    oh wait

  6. d.... n....

    I sell my soul to this one!

  7. d.... n....

    Yes! This is what i expect from Devin's music! I'm so sorry,but last Dev's album i can not digest! Empath for me is something that is out after 20 years been fan sincerely. I start with Ocean machine,then Infinity.. Then i was realy blown with that new genius called Devin! Still that can not erase nobody,i will continue to be your fan! You are unicue,original and everlasting inspiration for me!!!

  8. K.... R....

    Because I'm your lady

  9. u.... ....

    Power of Love hommage? The similarities are too obvious not to notice.. Devin's love-letter to Jennifer Rush? Stunning song regardsless. How the hell did this NOT end up on Epicloud?

  10. R.... C....

    Devy is a fan of Mike & the Mechanics?

    https://youtu.be/5hr64MxYpgk

  11. F.... ....

    This sounds so much like The Power of Love by Jennifer Rush from 1985

    F.... ....

    Totally agree! When the drum enters it resembles the original recording by Jennifer Rush.

  12. w.... ....

    I keep hearing The Power of Love in this song haha can't stop laughing

  13. W.... ....

    Beautiful tune. But it’s totally a rip-off of “The Power of love”

    W.... ....

    Well, I would not say a total rip-off, but when the drum enters it resembles the original recording by Jennifer Rush.

  14. G.... C....

    A mí tampcoo me gustan los higos.... 😁

  15. S.... M....

    I cant stop listening to this..... Most of the views are mine probably.... I may have a problem...

    S.... M....

    No! You have no problems.
    It's the ones do not play this video that have problems.

  16. T.... L....

    this reminds me something from 80's

    T.... L....

    Tsigko Leleta
    “The Power of love”

  17. J.... L....

    Although Devin's not a Christian or religious in any way that I'm aware of, I feel like his music connects me to God like no one else's can.

    J.... L....

    Which god do you follow ?

  18. E.... R....

    This song is just too beautiful. I'm in tears. :')

  19. X.... ....

    Section at 3:30 reminds me of Abba. Not a metal thing but not a bad thing.

  20. C.... S....

    Tomato Bisquette sent me here

  21. T.... S....

    This song is so damn pretty and metal at the same time 👍

  22. Q.... A....

    my mum listened to this for the first time and it had her in tears... i have listened to this before she did (about a year ago) and i never cried once and now i am in tears thanks mum lol

  23. J.... G....

    the premise of my life was a pretend trial. it was only supposed to kill my dad and a few other people

  24. J.... G....

    they kept me healthy enough to walk, that's why they didn't terry shiavo me into a coma

  25. J.... G....

    *certain about the critical choice

  26. J.... G....

    It was the parking garage. I am certain. I would have walked or driven to logansport with a cell phone and eventually made it to Shreveport where I would have been killed. I would not have walked back if I didn't have court.

  27. J.... G....

    two bank cards left the country twice. been to Africa

  28. J.... G....

    Klingons... Should have been starships

  29. A.... ....

    Ziltoid disliked this. Because he requires HIS Ego for him to remain an omniscient overlord.


    Indeed.

    A.... ....

    AstraVex Haha, that made me literally lol sir. Thank you.

  30. �.... A....

    Magisk :-)

  31. A.... W....

    this is still sounding good! It sounds like Devin is giving you a hug with music.

  32. E.... ....

    Someone do a mashup with The Power Of Love :)
    Devin has kept it in the same key as Celine Dion's version, and it sounds like the same tempo as well.

  33. K.... C....

    is it abba? i love it

  34. M.... S....

    Hints of Abba? Not complaining!

  35. R.... F....

    Hey Josh Buddle, do you have the bonus track "Epicloud" 6:07? If so, can you upload that. Can't find it anywhere.

    R.... F....

    @JackVegass Actually, can do. It'll be up within an hour or so.

    R.... F....

    @Josh Buddle
    Thanks a lot!

  36. M.... T....

    Can't call it bad music, but definitely not my thing. Sounds like gospel music haha I literally thought my mother's music started playing in the background

  37. I.... F....

    It's like White-Metal if it didn't suck.

  38. E.... J....

    I keep waiting for Celine Dion to bust into "The Power of Love".  

  39. M.... ....

    Devin has said that his musical style does not have to fit a particular category or genre. As an artist he is exploring many styles and does not apologise for it. This track is as valid as any other, the heavy metal and the cheese are all part of him, embrace it.

    M.... ....

    @Mintake Indeed. And whether people like this sound from him or not, it's so absolutely heartfelt that I don't see how people couldn't take it at least a little seriously. It's what Devy is about.

    M.... ....

    Totally, Man. This is actually one of my favorite songs by him. The melodies here are fucking gorgeous; I don't know how anyone couldn't like this.

    M.... ....

    I never think metal should be too serious and it needs cheese lol I love all dtp and especially this

  40. A.... B....

    Wow this song is so cheesy! It's not bad, but man the cheesyness! :P

    A.... B....

    No it isn't...

    A.... B....

    Metalheads crack me up :)

    A.... B....

    It is fairly cheesy. Pop fans eat up cheese coz that's all they understand.

  41. S.... D....

    Simply Brilliant ! Anneke's voice is amazing, Devin knows this :)! 

  42. A.... W....

    take my eagle, take my harp... I can't hear the lyrics any other way now :)

    A.... W....

    Take my eagle, let it AAAARGH!

  43. A.... W....

    "'cos I am your laaaady and you are my maaaaaaa-aaa--aa-aaa-aan" yep Dev's been on the Jennifer Rush again :)

    A.... W....

    Totally!

    A.... W....

    LMAO... Thought it was just me...

    A.... W....

    Again? When has it happened otherwise? I love this tune.

    A.... W....

    Hahaha true 😅

  44. n.... ....

    This is beautiful! Sums up the vibe of Epicloud perfectly. I don't use iTunes, so I totally missed this track! Should have at least been on the EpicloudER bonus disc!

    n.... ....

    Yea, I am quite frustrated that it is completely unavailable on any CD version out there.

  45. S.... G....

    wow only just discovered this, beautiful song :) why wasnt this on the epiclouder bonus cd?? 

    S.... G....

    I thought the same, it's a secret track on disc 1

    S.... G....

    Is it?? Ive had the 2cd version of Epicloud since it was released, it must be on a foreign version, not the UK one. Still great song!

    S.... G....

    @Matt Nevens
    This is one of the two iTunes bonus tracks, the other is "Cry Forever". On top of that, there's "Epicloud" that's the bonus track on the vinyl version.

  46. P.... O....

    Wow he has been listening to a LOT of 80's pop.

    P.... O....

    Lol seriously sounds like a certain song lol

  47. A.... H....

    Makes me teary.

    A.... H....

    A lot of his slow songs do that to me. Ghost is another tear jerker...

  48. A.... S....

    Sounds a bit like "The power of love" Jennifer Rush :) Very similar melodies.

    A.... S....

    I am now possessed by a thought to make a mix of these two plus riffs and "whoooaah"s from "The Greys"/ZTO.

  49. S.... W....

    awesome

  50. L.... A....

    =( beauty

  51. J.... H....

    Anneke + Devin = EpicPeace. Thanks for sharing :).
