Etymology
"Overboard" is principally a nautical term referring to things outside of a boat, but it is also frequently used idiomatically to reflect excessive or unreasonable behavior (e.g., to "go overboard"). The combination with "Ego" therefore suggests an overconfident mindset brought on by victory, fitting with the song's role as a battle win jingle.
