Selfish
Tayong - T.Y.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna spend my days
Wasting all your time
I don't wanna make you cry
That would be a crime
I don't wanna promise you
Things I couldn't do
As much as I love you
I wanna be the one
I wanna see the sun
Shine on me and you
I wanna have some fun
For you to be the one
The thought of you being in the kitchen doing cooking
Is heaven for me
I'm so sorry for never saying Thank You
Why can't you see
You wanted nothing
I wanted everything
What's wrong with that
You'll always be my sweet, sweet angel
I'm just a selfish brat
The lyrics to Tayong's song "Selfish" describe a person who is concerned about being true to themselves and not wanting to waste the time of the person they love. The singer recognizes their selfish nature but still hopes to be loved in return. The song embodies the message of wanting to be upfront and honest about not being able to promise anything that they cannot deliver.
In the first verse, the singer expresses their fear of making their loved one cry by not meeting their expectations. They do not want to give false promises but want their partner to love them as much as they love them. The second verse depicts the singer's desires and fun-loving personality. They express wanting to see the sun shining on themselves and their lover while also having a good time.
The chorus conveys that the singer feels grateful for the little things their partner does for them but is remorseful for not expressing gratitude. They acknowledge that they want everything and their partner wants nothing, which might create a sense of guilt within them. Despite calling themselves a selfish brat, the song's tone gives off a sense of vulnerability yet confidence through honesty.
