Selfish
SideChest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
一人きりじゃ虚しいこと
少しずつ分かり始めてる
答えを濁し 誤魔化した問いたちの
行方はもう 風の中で 見えないまま
間違えたり 傷つけてしまうこと
嘘をついたり 何かを隠したまま
温もりに触れることはないだろう
誰にもわからない それならいいと思うかい
時間の流れに紛れて
ごめんね、ありがとうでさえも
前を向いて言えないなら 僕らはもう終わりさ
今の僕なら あなたのあの言葉の
本当の意味を 許せるかな 笑えるかな
空を見上げてた
理由をつけるのは 簡単だよな
どんな言葉も並べられるよ
僕らが交わした 約束の形が
ゆっくり変わってく 何処までも続く
さよなら あなたのことを 信じていたのに
誰にもわからない それならいいと思うかい
時間の流れに紛れて ごめんね、ありがとうでさえも
前を向いて言えないなら 僕らはもう終わりさ
The lyrics to SideChest's song "Selfish" talk about the struggle of being alone and feeling empty despite not living for someone else. The singer recognizes that they have made mistakes and hurt others but also acknowledges that hiding things and telling lies will never bring them warmth or comfort. The chorus reflects on the idea that if no one can understand the situation, it might be better to move forward alone without dwelling on apologies or thank yous.
The verse continues with the singer thinking about past promises made and how they have slowly changed over time. The singer questions whether they can truly forgive someone else's hurtful words and find meaning in their relationship. The song ends on a sad note, with the realization that if one can't face their issues head-on and look to the future, the relationship has come to an end.
Overall, "Selfish" seems to reflect on themes of loneliness, forgiveness, and moving on. The lyrics capture the complexity of relationships and how difficult it can be to navigate one's feelings and actions.
