All About Me by Hercules Morse

This song was featured in Tom Robinson's Introducing mixtape on BBC 6music.

Lyrics:

Before I meet you let me apologise
And assure you that I recognise,
My pretension,

The entire nature of my chosen enterprise,
Requires attempting to monopolise,
Your attention,

So I spend inordinate amounts of time,
In pursuit of just another 'like',
Validation,

This is all just one big ego-trip,
I'm aware of that, but I still do it,
Driven by my insecurity,
Never about you, it's all about me.

Instinctively my ego takes precedence,
And I find I strive for decadence,
Relentlessly,

So before I meet you let me apologise,
For the inevitable countless times,
I will ask for,

Your approval and your acceptance,
And my shameless indulgence,
In self-grandeur,

This is all just one big ego-trip,
I'm aware of that, but I still do it,
Driven by my insecurity,
Never about you, it's all about me.
