David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
The lyrics to David Guetta's song "In Love With Myself" express the obsession with oneself and the desire to be the center of attention. The singer is infatuated with their own reflection and affection, seeing themselves as the perfect image of who they aspire to be. They are taking their own direction and doing all they can for themselves, regardless of anyone else.
The second verse presents a more destructive side to this obsession. The singer admits that they can take themselves to hell and are falling deep inside it, feeling the burn down on them. They dance with themselves in front of hundreds of eyes, unable to strip completely and feeling the lights burning them. Despite this pain, they remain in love with themselves and continue to seek their own perfection.
The chorus repeats the idea of being in love with oneself, accompanied by the desire for someone else's body but acknowledging that nobody can take them to heaven. The final verse talks about meeting somebody after the lights have died, but questioning what they are really giving to this meeting or relationship.
Overall, the song portrays the dangerous side of self-obsession and the desire for attention and perfection, highlighting the possible destructive consequences it can have.

Increíble, esta canción fue mi alarma para despertar durante meses mientras trabajaba en el mar, en un barco hace 7 años, no supe de quien era solo la tenia tan grabada y me agradaba tanto despertar escuchando esto (la estuve buscando por años, sin éxito). Hasta apenas hace unos días por accidente la volví a escuchar, inmediatamente un millón de recuerdos y sentimientos regresaron a mi mente, ahora se de quien es y a pesar de considerarme alguien que escucha David Guetta a menudo nunca me la había topado, supongo ahora era el momento de que cruzáramos destinos de nuevo . #MeSientoFeliz

Ojalá que algún día vuelva esto. Sus raíces como buen productor. | I hope someday he gets back this kind of music, when he actually proved to be a great producer.
