Selfish
MILIAH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to be a taker girl like all them assholes do to me
I wanna play them assholes, so that they will feel everything wholeheartedly
They think we should be their toys, once played and then they can be bored
When you want something serious, they can never afford

Just stop being giver girl, cause I know they never learn
To treat us better than the bitches they faced before
Them asses think that if they change, the world will never be the same
They loose their power over us, and masculinity will drown in the ocean of our tears

They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
As hell
As hell
As hell
As hell
As hell

He thought he could play me
But karma's a bitch
I swear he’ll be alone
Alone with his beer

Watching damn football match
Having fun with his friends
Fuck them whores without love
Is it life that he wants?

Just as simple as that, no love no respect
Don't trust anyone, just faking his smile
Telling lies in your eyes, kissing hard in your mouth
Saying that he loves you but leaves you when times are hard

I don’t believe them no more
Saying the words they don't mean
Cowardly run away from
Dream that can be real

They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
They are selfish as hell
As hell
As hell
As hell




As hell
As hell

Overall Meaning

MILIAH's song titled "Selfish" is a powerful anthem that condemns the selfishness and mistreatment often experienced by women in romantic relationships. The lyrics indicate the desire to be a "taker girl" who plays "assholes" so that they can feel the pain they have caused. MILIAH also highlights the notion that men often see women as toys they can play with and discard when they no longer want them. The song urges women to stop being "giver girls" and accept that men never learn to treat them as well as they deserve.


Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that men are capable of being selfish and inconsiderate, as they think that changing themselves and their attitudes towards women would disrupt the norm. They prefer to mistreat women and retain their power and masculinity. MILIAH believes that by calling out men's selfishness and holding them accountable, women can make them understand the repercussions of their actions.
