Humpty
Reflections of Ego: Unraveling the Fragile Vanity in 'Humpty'
Lyrics
The question now is posed
The question is raised now
If I could use a word not how it's supposed
If I could use a word in a way different from its usual meaning
To mean just what I would want it to
To convey exactly what I desire
Would the world change from what I've composed?
Would the world change based on my expression?
Whether cannon or king
Irrespective of being a weapon or a ruler
With the words that I will sing
Through the lyrics that I will perform
If I lack or give my all
Whether I hold back or give my utmost
My glory is my fall
My success leads to my downfall
My glory is my fall
-Too much power, too much greed
Excessive authority, excessive desire for possessions
Let the twisted ego feed
Allowing the distorted self-importance to nourish
Four-score men and four-score more
Many people, numerous individuals
Could not then venture to restore
Could not attempt to fix or return something to its prior state
Vanity is a fragile thing
Ego and self-importance are delicate and easily damaged
Whether cannon or king
Regardless of being a weapon or a ruler
With the words that I will sing
Through the lyrics that I will perform
If I build or break a wall
Whether I create or destroy a barrier
My glory is my fall
My success leads to my downfall
My glory is my fall
-How humpty do I need to be
To what extent do I need to be fragile or vulnerable
Before I'm seen tumbling, tumbling down?
Before I'm observed collapsing, falling down?
How humpty do I need to be
To what extent do I need to be fragile or vulnerable
Before I'm seen tumbling, tumbling down?
Before I'm observed collapsing, falling down?
Tumbling, tumbling down
Collapsing, falling down repeatedly
Whether cannon or king
Regardless of being a weapon or a ruler
With the words that I will sing
Through the lyrics that I will perform
If I lack or give my all
Whether I hold back or give my utmost
My glory is my fall
My success leads to my downfall
Whether cannon or king
Regardless of being a weapon or a ruler
With the words that I will sing
Through the lyrics that I will perform
If I build or break a wall
Whether I create or destroy a barrier
My glory is my fall
My success leads to my downfall
My glory is my fall
