Selfish
Lillimure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"I suppose you are"
"Suppose we drive around the bend, slowly"
I always say the wrong thing
I get lost in my ideas
What if we get a little selfish
And forget about our fears
You make me so nervous
I never get like this
A little selfish, yeah
You say you wanna talk
But then you turn the other way
You want me to say it first, but I don't know what to say
I'm just as confused as you
And I'm scared
Cause if we do this again who says you won't break my heart
But I'm not ready to leave you with miles apart
And every time I have it figured out you shut it down
I have so much to say, but the words won't come out
I always say the wrong thing
I get lost in my ideas
What if we get a little selfish
And forget about our fears
You make me so nervous
And you know it
I never get like this
A little selfish, yeah
"It's not about whether your shoes get wet
Or when your hair frizzes
But when you smell the rain in the grass and in the trees
That's it
That's life in pink"
You've come full circle and you don't know how
But I've seen it coming for some time now
I always say the wrong thing
I get lost in my ideas
What if we get a little selfish
And forget about our fears
You make me so nervous
And you know it
I never get like this
A little selfish, yeah
In Lillimure's song "Selfish," the lyrics depict a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "I suppose I'm just rambling," and "I suppose you are," suggest a conversation between two individuals who are struggling with their communication. The line "Suppose we drive around the bend, slowly" hints at the desire to escape the complexities of the situation and find solace in each other's company.
The singer expresses their tendency to say the wrong things and become lost in their own thoughts. They contemplate the idea of being selfish in order to overcome their fears and uncertainties. This implies a longing for a deeper connection with their partner, despite the nervousness they feel in their presence. The lyrics also touch upon the fear of getting hurt again, as the singer questions whether their heart will be broken in the future.
The bridge introduces a philosophical moment with the quote, "It's not about whether your shoes get wet, Or when your hair frizzes, But when you smell the rain in the grass and in the trees, That's it, That's life in pink." This suggests a shift in perspective, reminding the listener to focus on the simple joys of life rather than getting caught up in superficial worries.
In summary, "Selfish" explores the struggles of communication, vulnerability, and the fear of heartbreak in a romantic relationship. It highlights the desire to overcome these challenges and find a deeper connection, while also emphasizing the importance of finding joy in the simple moments of life.

I suppose I'm just rambling
I guess I'm just talking without a clear focus or direction
I suppose you are
I guess you are also just talking without a clear focus or direction
Suppose we drive around the bend, slowly
Let's imagine taking a leisurely drive around a curved road
I always say the wrong thing
I consistently speak in a way that is not well-received or misunderstood
I get lost in my ideas
I become immersed and confused in my own thoughts and concepts
What if we get a little selfish
What if we prioritize our own desires and needs
And forget about our fears
And choose to disregard our apprehensions and worries
You make me so nervous
You cause me to feel anxious and uneasy
And you know it
And you are aware of the effect you have on me
I never get like this
I rarely experience such emotions and reactions
A little selfish, yeah
Being a bit self-centered, yes
You say you wanna talk
You express a desire to have a conversation
But then you turn the other way
But then you avoid the topic or change your stance
You want me to say it first, but I don't know what to say
You expect me to initiate the conversation, but I'm unsure of how to respond
I'm just as confused as you
I am equally uncertain and perplexed
And I'm scared
And I'm filled with fear and apprehension
Cause if we do this again who says you won't break my heart
Because if we repeat this pattern, there's no guarantee you won't hurt me emotionally
But I'm not ready to leave you with miles apart
But I'm not prepared to end our relationship and be physically distant from you
And every time I have it figured out you shut it down
And every time I think I understand the situation, you dismiss or reject it
I have so much to say, but the words won't come out
I have many thoughts and feelings to express, but I struggle to articulate them
It's not about whether your shoes get wet
It's not important if your shoes become soaked
Or when your hair frizzes
Or when your hair becomes frizzy or unruly
But when you smell the rain in the grass and in the trees
Rather, it's about experiencing the scent of rain in the natural surroundings
That's it
That's what life in a blissful state feels like
That's life in pink
That's life when everything seems wonderful and full of joy
You've come full circle and you don't know how
You have completed a cycle or reached a turning point without realizing how you got there
But I've seen it coming for some time now
But I have anticipated this outcome for quite a while
I always say the wrong thing
I consistently speak in a way that is not well-received or misunderstood
I get lost in my ideas
I become immersed and confused in my own thoughts and concepts
What if we get a little selfish
What if we prioritize our own desires and needs
And forget about our fears
And choose to disregard our apprehensions and worries
You make me so nervous
You cause me to feel anxious and uneasy
And you know it
And you are aware of the effect you have on me
I never get like this
I rarely experience such emotions and reactions
A little selfish, yeah
Being a bit self-centered, yes
