Selfish
Sunset Daze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And loves to state the obvious
You're next to me, entirely, let's wait and see
Someone like you, selfish it's true
All you can do
It's plain to see, entirely, you disagree
No sense of reason Why did you have to believe them
It's crystal clear And not something I can feel sure of
No sense of reason Why did you have to believe them
No sense of reason, There's no one else No sense of reason Why did you have to believe them
No sense of reason There's no one else You're next to me, entirely,
It's plain to see
You're next to me, entirely,
let's wait and see
No sense of reason why did you have to believe them
No sense of reason there's no one else No sense of reason
Why did you have to believe them
No sense of reason
There's no one else No sense of reason
Why did you have to believe them
No sense of reason
There's no one else
The lyrics to "Selfish" by Sunset Daze seem to describe someone who is self-absorbed and doesn't listen to reason. The song begins by mentioning "someone I hate," who thinks she's great and loves to state the obvious. The writer then turns to someone who is "selfish, it's true" and doesn't seem to have any sense of reason. The writer acknowledges that forgiving this person is difficult, but ultimately concludes that there is no one else to blame for their behavior.
The chorus repeats the phrase "no sense of reason" several times, highlighting the frustration and exasperation that the writer feels towards this person. The lyrics suggest that this person has been swayed by others and doesn't have the ability to think for themselves. Despite being next to the writer, their behavior is entirely different and they seem unwilling to listen.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on people who are selfish and don't listen to others. The writer seems to be frustrated with this person's behavior and is at a loss as to what to do.
