Ego Maze

There is no door into the maze of ego. A person falls through names, needs, old wounds, and images of the self until the living parts of the story can be distinguished from inherited roles.

Ego Maze descends beneath the story a person normally tells about the self. With no door and no key, the same corridors keep opening, built from names, desire, pain, fear, and childhood memory. The ego is not an enemy to destroy. It is a map assembled from whatever once helped a person survive, receive acceptance, and maintain a continuous identity. Trouble begins when the map is mistaken for the entire territory and every defensive response is treated as an unchangeable nature. The repeated fall is therefore no punishment. It guides attention deeper toward the places where a lie became attached to a name and an unmet need began speaking louder than the present. The song offers no quick exit from the maze. It learns to bring light into each room until what was hidden can no longer direct a life from the dark.
