Selfish
Virginia To Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it only in my head?
Are you lonely
When you're lying in my bed?
Is it only for tonight?
Gonna leave me disappointed
Only
To take it all away
Close my eyes
And I-I
Keep my distance
I-I
Can't let go, I
I-I
Know you're not mine, but I
I know that I'm being selfish
And I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to touch your body
And I-I
Can't help that I'm being selfish
When I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to want you on me
And I-I
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Is it just another lie?
Am I just another high?
Are you lonely
When you're holding him at night?
When you run away from home
Am I the one you go to
Only
Until the night is gone?
Close my eyes
And I-I
Keep my distance
I-I
Can't let go, I
I-I
Know you're not mine, but I
I know that I'm being selfish
And I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to touch your body
And I-I
Can't help that I'm being selfish
When I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to want you on me
And I-I
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Close my eyes
And I-I
Keep my distance
I-I
Can't let go, I
I-I
Know you're not mine, but I
I know that I'm being selfish
And I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to touch your body
And I-I
Can't help that I'm being selfish
When I know that you want me, too
Can't help, but to want you on me
And I-I
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
Can't help that I'm so selfish
The song "Selfish" by Virginia To Vegas talks about a person who knows they are being selfish by wanting to be with someone who is not theirs. The lyrics describe the conflicting feelings of wanting to be close to this person, but also feeling guilty for being selfish. The singer questions whether the other person is only using them for a temporary escape from loneliness and wonders if they are just another temporary high. They know deep down that they should let go and move on, but they can't help themselves. The chorus repeats the conflicting feelings of knowing that they are being selfish by wanting this person, but also knowing that the other person wants them too.
The lyrics create a sense of tension and emotional turmoil, as the singer struggles with their desire for someone who is not theirs. It highlights the complexity of human emotions and how often our desires can conflict with our sense of right and wrong. The song's powerful chorus also draws attention to the destructive nature of selfishness and how it can harm relationships.
