Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really wanna do.
Let's dance!
I really wanna do.
You really wanna do.
Last dance!
愛なんて 思い過ごしさ
この世の蜃気楼だよ
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Selfish!
街中溢れる LOVE SONG
誰もが 自分のために
淋しさを口ずさむ
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Selfish!
そう 最初は 誰だって
自分は違うって否定して
いつかは どこかで 気づくよ 欲望
そう 本当は どうでもいい
他人のことなんて 関係ない
目覚めるよ 自分勝手な欲望! Yes!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
It's my selfish gene.
そうさ もっともっと 愛されたい
神に縋りながら 待ってるよ
閉ざされた心のドアを
ノックしてくれ
今は もっともっと 愛されたい
ひとりじゃ生きられない 叫びさ
代わりに十字架 背負ってるよ
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! your love!
I really wanna do.
You really wanna do.
Let's dance!
夢だけじゃ 救われないよ
群れから はぐれて行くよ
ニュースショーが 伝えているよ
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
Selfish!
そう 最後は 誰だって
みんなと同じとわかるのさ
やさしく 切なく 染みるよ 悲しみ
そう 本当は 誰だって
知らない自分に傷ついて
その胸で 泣きたくなるよ
悲しみ No!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
It's my selfish gene.
そうさ ずっとずっと
抱きしめたい
影に怯えながら このまま
隠れてた孤独の闇を逃げ出して行く
だから ずっとずっと 信じてくれ
昨日の自由なんていらない
愛とは 誰かがそばにいること
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! your love!
そうさ もっともっともっともっと
愛されたい
神に縋りながら 待ってるよ
閉ざされた心のドアを
ノックしてくれ
今は もっともっと もっともっと
愛されたい
ひとりじゃ生きられない 叫びさ
代わりに十字架 背負ってるよ
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! your love!
I really wanna do.
You really wanna do.
Let's dance!
I really wanna do.
You really wanna do.
Let's dance!
The lyrics of YAEN's song "Selfish" explore themes of desire, love, and self-identity. The song starts by expressing a mutual desire to do something together, possibly dance, emphasizing the immediate urge and excitement. The following lines suggest that love is an illusion, like a mirage that disappears when approached. The chorus then highlights the prevalence of love songs in the city and how everyone sings about loneliness for their own sake, implying a selfish aspect to love.
The second verse delves deeper into the human tendency to deny their own selfish desires initially, only to later realize and succumb to them. It suggests that ultimately, people don't care about others and are driven by their own self-centered desires. The bridge talks about wanting to be loved and seeking salvation, possibly from a higher power. There's a plea to break through the closed doors of a guarded heart and a reference to carrying a metaphorical cross.
The lyrics continue to express a longing for love and being embraced by someone, while also acknowledging the fear and darkness that has kept them hidden and lonely. It emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and not needing the freedom of the past. The song ends with a final call for love and the repetition of the desire to dance together.
Overall, "Selfish" explores the complexities of love, human desires, and the conflicting emotions between selfishness and the need for connection.
