Selfish
KANGDANIEL Lyrics

The lyrics of KANGDANIEL's song "Selfish" delve into themes of self-awareness, selfishness, and inner conflict within a relationship. The opening lines, "It doesn't matter, everyone knows / No matter who sees us, we don't match," set the tone for the song's introspective journey. The singer is grappling with the fear of your growing affection, feeling overwhelmed by their own self-centered thoughts.

As the song progresses, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of their perceived flaws. The lines "I cherish you, but it's time to stop / This is as far as I go, I ain't the one" signal a turning point where the singer acknowledges that they may be misunderstood and disliked for being unaware of their actions.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's struggle with their own selfish tendencies, feeling as though they are undeserving of love and happiness. The repetition of "Me myself and I" reinforces their internal conflict and the desire to push others away for their own sake. The plea to "run away from me" reflects the singer's awareness of their detrimental behavior and the need for distance.

The bridge of the song expresses a plea for change and growth, hoping that the subject can find happiness with someone better suited for them. The singer recognizes their shortcomings and acknowledges their lack of qualification to possess the love they may desire. The repetition of "Na-na-na" and "Yeah-yeah-yeah" throughout the song amplifies the emotional intensity and inner turmoil the singer is experiencing.
