Selfish
Brahny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna be remembered
For more than a Sunday
For more than summer
Godless in our way
But we've got compassion
Selfish on Sundays, but thoughtful on Mondays
I don't wanna feel this with someone new
I don't want a love that's bright and true
I just need your love to hold me through
Just taking my time
Just give me your time
Don't need nobody
I wanna be scient
And I'll love you freely (Freely, freely, freely)
To feelings in silence
Caught off completely
In forward motion
Cause up here we feel like we're larger than life, but we're not
I don't wanna feel this with someone new
I don't want a love that's bright and true
I just need your love to hold me through
Just taking my time
Just give me your time
In the song "Selfish," Brahny portrays conflicting emotions within a relationship. The opening lyrics suggest a fear of being forgotten and a desire to leave a lasting impression. However, the contradiction arises in the later lyrics that showcase the selfishness and thoughtfulness that coexist on different days of the week. While they might experience a lack of faith (Godless in our way), we see that they hold onto their innate sense of compassion. The lyrics "Don't need nobody, wan't to be scient" show an ideal of being self-sufficientness and "caught off completely, in forward motion" depicts feeling lost in uncertainty. The final line "Up here we feel like we're larger than life, but we're not" shows a yearning for something more profound while acknowledging their limitations.
The chorus emphasizes the desire for familiarity and comfort in love. The singer doesn't want a new love that's "bright and true," but rather the one they already have to hold them through. This line reflects an innate human desire to hold onto what is known and familiar, even when the relationship is flawed. The repeated line "just taking my time, just give me your time" implies that the singer needs time and space to figure things out and needs their partner's patience and understanding during this period.

Verse 1:
Melted sand it’s auburn
Slipstream air in summer
Stop motioned and stuttered
Calmly rippled daybreak
Reflects pink through the whole day
Sundrops pupils dilate
Chorus:
Gonna make this something perfect
Tell all your friends it’s worth it
Fuck all their fake endorsements
Together we can watch the world end
Silver screen on the weekend
Thick smoke out the wasteland
All I see is auburn
Comforting eachother
Warmer than the southern
All I have to offer.
Verse 2:
Glassy eyes are stronger
Glistening under headlights
Piercing through the midnight
Breath caught by the frostbite
Chilly on the roadside
Riding on the farside
Chorus 2
Bridge
Your auburn eyes are laced with these emeralds
Frozen by the distance, sharpened by our visions
Our ignorance means nothing in our castle
Saturated brilliance, shinin on the skyline.
Chorus 3

É graça divina começar bem. Graça maior é persistir na caminhada certa. Mas a graça das graças é não desistir nunca.
