Selfish
安月名莉子 Lyrics

These lyrics are from 安月名莉子's song "SELFISH."

In these lyrics, the singer expresses her desire to stay true to herself and follow her own path, even in a world that may seem disappointing or unfair. She begins by finding a secret password in this lowest world, implying that there is something special or unique about her. She acknowledges that she has been given a bad fate, but someone has also given her the strength to believe in herself and keep moving forward.

She then criticizes someone who is only concerned about appearances and lacks sincerity. This person may seem weak and narcissistic, only using words but having no real backbone. The singer wonders why she keeps coming across these kind of people who are doomed to fail. However, she also acknowledges that everyone is trying their best, despite their flaws.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of being selfish in a positive way. The singer declares that it's okay to feel like you've lost out or made mistakes because it's inevitable to face challenges in life. She expresses her desire to keep running and taking the offbeat path. She admits that even her cold eyes tremble a little, suggesting that even though she appears strong, she has her moments of vulnerability. The singer mentions that she may not become a heroine or find her prince charming, but she wants to start a story of a small miracle.

In the second verse, the singer reflects on the feeling of not wanting to lose oneself and constantly seeking validation from others. She realizes that she has been focusing too much on appearances and superficialities, feeling empty inside. She fears that if she breaks in this moment, she will change and become someone else entirely. She acknowledges the pain that comes with it.

The phrase "Let me go" is heard, perhaps symbolizing the singer's plea to let go of her insecurities and be free.

The bridge of the song encourages the listener to give their all and have selfish desires, even if they may not come true. The singer expresses her desire to remain true to herself, even in the face of hardship.

In the final chorus, the singer reiterates the idea of being selfish in a positive way. She reassures herself that it's okay even if she loses out and emphasizes the inevitability of facing challenges. She wants to keep running and taking the offbeat path. She mentions her broken heart, which she has patched up with a facade of strength. She acknowledges that even if she wants to be a heroine or find a prince charming, she can't afford to hate herself as it will break her. The singer declares that her story of a small miracle will continue.
