Selfish
김요한 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
이젠 뒤로하고 나를 찾고 싶어
바랬었던 내 그림들은
내 뜻과는 달리 칠해지고 있어
밀려오는 파도처럼 왔다 가는 사람들
더는 휩쓸려 다니고 싶지 않아
You can call me selfish
Maybe I am selfish
더 높게 나는 나를 상상해
You can call me selfish
내 뜻대로 살아보려 해
Maybe I am selfish
가면을 벗고 날아보려 해
난 free 해, 날 위해 숨기지 않아도 돼
Be selfish
Keep breathing 더 가쁘게
So go ahead, call me selfish
멀어져 가는 mind 놓지 않아 catch it
이기적으로 살아 나도 그렇게
젖어가는 나무처럼 있지 않아도 돼
결국엔 다 소나기였었던 거니까
심지에 불이 붙어 숨을 죽여
그래 멋대로 살아가 my way
밀어붙여 걸음부터
일직선으로 don't look back
I'm poison
약이 아니더라도 난 가 이젠
다 뭐 있겠어 그런 거지 뭐
You can call me selfish
과거를 잊고 나아가려 해
Maybe I am selfish
더 높게 나는 나를 상상해
You can call me selfish
내 뜻대로 살아보려 해
Maybe I am selfish
가면을 벗고 날아보려 해
난 free 해, 날 위해 숨기지 않아도 돼
Be selfish
Keep breathing 더 가쁘게
So go ahead, call me selfish
젖어가는 나무처럼 숨죽여 있다
이제는 빛을 받고 펼쳐진 나를 봐
You can call me selfish
내 뜻대로 살아보려 해
Maybe I am selfish
가면을 벗고 날아보려 해
난 free 해, 날 위해 숨기지 않아도 돼
Be selfish
Keep breathing 더 가쁘게
So go ahead, call me selfish
You can call me selfish
과거를 잊고 나아가려 해
Maybe I am selfish
더 높게 나는 나를 상상해
The lyrics to 김요한(KIM YO HAN)'s song "SELFISH" express the desire to let go of personal problems and focus on oneself.

Now, look at me as I shine and spread my wings
