How to End the World in 3EZ Steps!

How to End the World in 3EZ Steps! is a concept EP released by Trig Jegman on April 25, 2025. Incredibly experimental in nature, it centers around four loose "characters" that goes about the hypothetical destruction of the world, and how certain values might be more morally gray than it seems. Fully vocalized, this tells a short story with incredibly catchy ear-worms to hook into any ear that is willing to hear it.

01 — The Narrator

The Narrator is the opening track, and introduces the titular character. It's their game, but as much as they can designate its influence, the show is ultimately not in their hands. Trig Jegman is still the singing voice here, believe it or not. The drum track underwent eleven different iterations before settling on the final cut.

Life from all perspectives is the gift that I can see

But interactive active actions is not what I can be

To tell you any story across any point in time

But starring in those stories never is perspective mine

I've spun up a tale that never happened to the earth

About dying, decay, ruin, and eventual rebirth

Mix a myth and legend and tall tales to set my scene

With hints of truth and honesty to fill cracks in between

02 — ID

ID tells the story of a giver, a being of life, and generally symbolizes growth. This was the final character to write for the story.

It's the giver of life

Fruit harvest bountiful

Id gave us all the best

Overflowing wine barrels

And nothing close to less

Something though to note was Id's generous to them all

Including those that otherwise would deserve to fall

Many fell indeed from the cloudy skies above

Soon the crows and ravens tore into the purest dove

It's the giver of life

Giver to the needy

Giver to the poor

Giver to the evil

Who'd surely beg for more

Id was helping entities that want us broke or gone

Id would not know better for Id would just play along

Id will keep on giving though it's not what most us like

Id has given weapons for our oppressors to now strike

Giver to the needy

Giver to the poor

Giver to the evil

Who'd surely beg for more

Demons walk among us

Demons were, now here

But when we needed answers

Id only gave us fear

Soon Id was gone entirely

Without a trace nor hair

The giving turned to ashes

The joy into despair

Was the giver of life

03 — Ego

The first track written for the concept EP. The main riff and bassline have been something in development for about a year, with no real place to take it until here. The entire piece is probably as close to describing how music ideas is heard internally as possible—Raw Jegman Brainpower if you will. The lyrics take a jab at decay and death. Maybe that's bad, maybe that's not. Who's to say.

Ego was a shrill old man

Who could not ever see

His only job was thankless

With halfhearted apology

Ego took the misery

Ego took the pain

Ego took humility / Down the drain

Ego was a flower

Ego was the lawn

Ego sleeps forever / Now he's gone

Helloooooooo Egooooooo

Goodbyeeeee Egooooooo

Now the demons walk among us

Demons, demons here

Ego couldn't stop them

Only take away our fear

Ego was a taker

Thats all he ever did do

Took every ounce of everything

Until his own life was took too

04 — Superego

This ended up being the biggest surprise when writing, and possibly a personal favorite in recent years. Infectious middle-eastern hook, a simple but pressing bass, and the spookiest choir you ever did hear. Recovery sucks, and so do the promises Superego made. The vocals on this took the most time to record by far, due to range and variance in delivery. A gong has never been more fitting for a piece.

Superego

Recovery was without meaning

Until Superego came along

Aimless and a feeling fleeting

Was the tune that she rung

Superego

Bring us back to normal!

And all its normalcy!

Push back upon the curses

Layed by Immortal She

Her final joke was kindness

Believed by naught like me

Her final joke was kindness

Believed by naught like me

Superego
