Chose Ego Over Love (Gothic Metalstep)

This dark track is inspired by my own life experiences, observations from systems, people, psychology and my own thoughts that have shaped me. Every riff, every beat, and every dark melody and lyrics reflects emotions I’ve lived through and ideas I’ve wrestled with. Heavy guitars, storming drums, and haunting atmospheres are not just sounds created with AI—they’re a mirror of a restless mind, moments of anger, sadness, and fleeting clarity. Listen alone, or let it accompany your creative projects, late-night thoughts, or any moment when music is the only way to feel understood. 🔔 Subscribe for more dark songs born from personal experience:    / @linnyxmaria   📧 E-mail me for a healing song for your story or situation: [email protected] #rock #rockmusic #dubstep #gothic #metal #metalstep #gothicmusic #AImusic #AIgenerated Lyrics: Verse 1 I wake up before the softness shows Lock it down where no one goes No shaking hands, no tired eyes I turn my pain into disguise Pre-Chorus Don’t ask me to slow down Don’t ask me to feel now Chorus I chose the armor over tears I chose the silence over fears I call it strength, I call it pride But I’m just running from what’s inside And I don’t let you get too close Because I don’t let me get close So I stand tall, but I don’t know why Love feels like something I deny Love is something I deny Verse 2 There’s no room for falling apart I built a wall and called it heart If I feel it, I might lose control So I bury it deeper than they’ll ever know Pre-Chorus Don’t ask me to slow down Don’t ask me to feel now Chorus I chose the armor over tears I chose the silence over fears I call it strength, I call it pride But I’m just running from what’s inside And I don’t let you get too close Because I don’t let me get close So I stand tall, but I don’t know why Love feels like something I deny Love is something I deny Bridge It’s lonely in this throne I made Built from every truth I’ve swayed I am “enough,” I always say But it keeps everyone away Final Chorus I wore the armor over tears I built the silence into years I called it strength, I called it pride Denying what I really feel inside And now I see too late, I suppose I never let myself come close Someday I might feel free From the ego that was holding me Chose ego over love, unfortunately
