In Love With Myself
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In love with myself
In love with my own reflection
With my own affection
With the vision that i see

There's nobody else
I'm taking my own direction
I can see perfection
Doing all i can for me

In love with myself...

I can take you to hell
I'm falling so deep inside it
And i just can't hide it
Feel it burning down on me

I dance with myself
As hundreds of eyes are waiting
Can't strip completely
And the lights are burning me

In love with myself...

Tonight I'm gonna meet somebody
After all the lights have died
I'm still living,
But what am i giving?

In love with myself
In love with my own reflection
With my own affection
With the vision that i see

There's nobody else
I'm taking my own direction
I can see perfection
Doing all i can for me

In love with myself...

Everybody wants your body
There's nobody who can
Take you to heaven
We'll make it forever

Tonight I'm gonna meet somebody
After all the lights have died




I'm still living
But what am i giving?

Overall Meaning

The song "In Love With Myself" by David Guetta talks about a person's intense self-love and self-obsession. The lyrics revolve around the idea of loving oneself, one's own reflection, and the vision that the person sees of themselves. The song has an upbeat and energetic feel to it, which is a stark contrast to its lyrics' somber and introspective quality.


In the first verse, Guetta reiterates how deeply he is in love with himself and his own reflection. He highlights that he is taking his direction and sees perfection in himself. The next verse talks about how he is falling so deep inside himself that he cannot hide it. He continues that he dances with himself, and even though hundreds of eyes are waiting, he cannot strip completely because the lights are burning him.


In the pre-chorus, the lyrics take a darker turn as Guetta mentions taking someone to hell, and he feels the burning down on him. Finally, in the chorus, he repeats the lines from the beginning of the song, emphasizing the intensity of his self-love. The second verse talks about how everybody wants his body, but nobody can take him to heaven, and he's looking for something more substantial than just living for himself.


Overall, the song captures the idea of the inwardly self-obsessed and self-loving person who cannot see beyond their own self. It reflects on the idea that true love and happiness can only come when we give something of ourselves to others.

In love with myself...

But what am i giving?

In love with myself
In love with my own reflection
