Selfish
Moonbyul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be free

어느새 사회화가 된 것 같애
아무도 blah blah 한 것 같진 않은데
남들이 생각하는 나에 대해
신경 쓰느라고 상처만 남았네
똑같은 메뉴를 고르라는 압박에 고민해
이번엔 내가 결정할게 카드를 내미네 yah yah
복잡한 생각들은 no way
가끔 내 마음대로 사는 재미

I wanna be selfish
아직 많은 나의 wish
세상의 기준을 맞추기엔
제 멋대로인 게 어울려 어울려

Sometime being selfish (selfish)
오해 말아 나쁜 의미는 아냐
조금 더 솔직해질게
I love myself

I wanna be free
Just gonna be free
I wanna be free
Make me feel so good

좁은 어항 속 fish fish yeah, yeah
듣기 좋은 말만 뻐끔 뻐끔해
틀에 박힌 말 건너뛸게
마음에도 없는 칭찬은 거부해
(No more stress)

이젠 집에 좀 가자 퇴근 시간에
살 좀 빼자는 말 좀 이젠 그만해
날 위한 순간에 참견은 no thanks
쓸데없이 세우지 마 핏대

I wanna be selfish
아직 많은 나의 wish
세상의 기준을 맞추기엔
제 멋대로인 게 어울려 어울려

Sometime being selfish (selfish)
오해 말아 나쁜 의미는 아냐
조금 더 솔직해질게
I love myself

I wanna be free
Just gonna be free
I wanna be free
Make me feel so good

이젠 나를 찾겠어
순수한 희망뿐이던
니가 지워버린 my good day (good day)
아직도 난 늦지 않아
길고 나른한 오후
즐기고 싶어 lazy day
(Bring it on)

I wanna be selfish
아직 많은 나의 wish
세상의 기준을 맞추기엔
제 멋대로인 게 어울려 어울려

Sometime being selfish (selfish)
오해 말아 나쁜 의미는 아냐
조금 더 솔직해질게
I love myself

I wanna be free
Just gonna be free
I wanna be free
Make me feel so good

I wanna be free (free)
Just wanna be free




날 위해 솔직해질게
오늘부터

@Mushatatq dNsksjjd her voice is not masculine at all imo, I would never mistake that voice for a man. She just sounds like a strong woman.
