Selfish
HANIWA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

恋愛事件のアト処理に
ボクを駆りだす
就寝時間とっくに
過ぎてても電話かけてくる
彼女はSelfish とってもSelfish
今度は何だ言ってみろよ
泣くのはやめてさ
こっちがホント泣きたいよ

あしたはやいのに
彼女はSelfish とってもSelfish
のどもとすぎて熱さ忘れて
毎度のグチ
ビール飲みながらあいづち
そんなSelfish
彼女とボクとはSelfish
わがままな危険信号
通りすぎたふたり
メンドーかけてゴメンねと
たまにはあやまる
そのくせボクの
気持ちなんかには全然無頓着
彼女はSelfish とってもSelfish
恋人候補の予備軍は
たくさんいるけど
安全無害おまけに
親切だからボクがスキ
彼女はSelfish とってもSelfish
言いだせないこれじゃいつまでも
平和すぎるオトモダチの
関係こわせない
そんなSelfish 彼女とボクとは
Selfishいつまでも危険信号

こせないままふたリ
Selfish

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to HANIWA's song SELFISH describe a selfish girlfriend who repeatedly calls the singer even late at night, and monopolizes the conversation with her complaints and grievances. She is dismissive of the singer's own feelings and desires, and seems oblivious to the fact that their relationship is one-sided and unhealthy. Despite his frustrations, the singer finds himself unable to cut the relationship off completely, as he appreciates the girlfriend's kindness and safety. He is torn between wanting to preserve the peace between them, and longing for a more fulfilling and mutual relationship.

The song touches on a common theme in relationships: the struggle between selflessness and selfishness, and the need for boundaries and mutual respect. The lyrics also explore the dynamics of power and control within relationships, and how one partner's selfishness can impact the other's emotional well-being. Overall, the song conveys a sense of resignation and sadness, as the singer feels trapped in a cycle of codependency and unrequited love.
