Selfless
Homesafe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you even hear this?
I just want to know how it's going back home.
So put down the makeup and pick up the phone and fess up to those things you went and did when I was gone.
Have you thought about the consequence of living like they did way back when, when we were kids?
Can you listen up and understand why i'm not selfish for the things I did? I'm only selfless.
And it's how i'll always be.
It's just how I feel.
You're selfish and vicious. All the decisions you make are the cause of all your wrongs. Like the day you walked away up the stairs and said all those stupid things that you'd soon regret.
I'll never forget what you said to me that day.
It's still stuck in my head.
You're selfish.
I'm selfless.
The lyrics to Homesafe's song "Selfless" tell the story of a person who is questioning the actions of their partner who was unfaithful while they were away. The singer wonders if their partner understands the consequences of their actions and if they even hear the pain they have caused. The singer also questions if their partner has thought about the consequences of living a reckless lifestyle and reminds them that they are not selfish for the things they have done, but are, in fact, selfless.
The singer is hurt and cannot forget the words that were said during the argument when their partner walked away. The singer is portrayed as the selfless party while the partner is portrayed as the selfish one, causing all their own wrongs. Overall, the lyrics depict a relationship that is deeply flawed and has been deeply hurt by the actions of one partner. The singer wants to understand what happened and wants the partner to face the consequences of their actions.

[Intro]
I know where you have been
Can you even hear this?
I just want to know how it's going back home
[Verse 1]
I know where you have been
Can you even hear this?
I just want to know how it's going back home
So put down the makeup and pick up the phone
And fess up to those things you went and did
When I was gone
[Chorus]
Have you thought about the consequence
Of living like they did way back when, when we were kids?
Can you listen up and understand
Why I'm not selfish for the things I did?
I'm only selfless, and it's how I'll always be
[Verse 2]
It's just how I feel
You're selfish and vicious
All the decisions you make are the cause of all your wrongs
Of all your wrongs
Like the day you walked away up the stairs
And said all those stupid things that you'd soon regret
I'll never forget what you said to me that day
It's still stuck in my head
[Chorus]
Have you thought about the consequence
Of living like they did way back when, when we were kids?
Can you listen up and understand
Why I'm not selfish for the things I did?
I'm only selfless, and it's how I'll always be
You're selfish
I'm selfless
You're selfish
I'm selfless
You're selfish
I'm selfless
You're selfish
I'm selfless
