Ego Death

Julian Guba Unleashes Raw Emotion in His Latest Anthem: “Ego Death”

A Dark-Pop Journey Through Jealousy and Self-Discovery

Julian Guba returns with a powerful new single, “Ego Death,” set to release on April 18, 2025. Blending dark-pop aesthetics with elements of rock and electronic music, this 92 BPM anthem in G Minor is a gritty yet relatable portrayal of what it feels like to grapple with jealousy, self-doubt, and the longing for recognition.

At its core, Ego Death is a confessional — a voice for everyone who has ever compared themselves to someone seemingly more successful. Guba doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths, capturing the messy, human side of envy in both sound and lyric.

The Sound of Struggle: Where Rock Meets Emotion

Driven by raw vocals and an explosive beat, Ego Death hooks you instantly with its gritty texture and emotionally charged delivery. The juxtaposition of rock-inspired rhythms and electronic flourishes creates a soundscape that’s both intense and immersive. It mirrors the inner turmoil of its narrator — heart full of love, mind full of jealousy — perfectly.

The chorus is catchy yet poignant, tapping into the universal wish to “change with your seat” — to experience success without the struggle. It’s a cathartic release, inviting listeners to confront their insecurities head-on.

Lyrical Depth and Real-Life Relevance

What sets Ego Death apart is its lyrical honesty. Julian Guba doesn’t just sing about jealousy; he breaks it down, line by line, revealing the silent battles many face in an image-driven, privilege-heavy world. He weaves themes of nepotism, identity, and perseverance, ending the track with a powerful reminder: “Go on and don’t give up, it is part of your destiny.”

This song doesn’t just resonate — it connects. It’s more than music. It’s a mirror.

Listen, Reflect, Repeat

Whether you’re fighting self-doubt, feeling overshadowed, or just need a reminder that your journey is valid, Ego Death offers more than a beat to nod along to — it’s a moment of truth wrapped in melody.

Lyrics to “Ego Death” by Julian Guba

[Verse 1]

They’re mentioned lowercase, but they get paid
Rolling in the dust, rolling in the dust

Got them to get it made, your name is fake
Rolling in the dust, rolling in the dust
Rolling in the dust, ro- rolling in the dust, oh

[Chorus]

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)
In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

My heart is full of love, my mind is full of jealousy

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

[Verse 2]

Shadow on the wall surprising all
Rolling in the dust, rolling in the dust

And finally
Hanging in the hall, cause and effect, the law
Rolling in the dust, rolling in the dust
Rolling in the dust, ro- rolling in the dust, oh

[Chorus]

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)
In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

My heart is full of love, my mind is full of jealousy

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

[Bridge]

Too many people try to tell me what I have to be
And that when I reach the top I’m losing my identity
I’m never giving up, I’ll never face reality
Cuz my heart is full of love, my mind is full of jealousy

[Chorus]

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)
In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

My heart is full of love, my mind is full of jealousy

In a heartbeat I’d change with your seat
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)
Take a breath (breath), Ego Death (Death)

[Outro]

Whenever life is tough and you have lost your sanity
Go on and don’t give up, it is part of your destiny
