Selfish
muzzle-lab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

君じゃなけりゃ
誰のために
僕は生きるんだ?

街に流れる唄は
希望なんて歌ってて
この時代のどこに
そんなものがあるの?

ずっと
ノートに並べてた味のしない将来を
今だってコンボ重ねて
紛らわしてる
灰色に染まる時間
突き破って 君が
鮮烈に舞い
それは世界が終わる
ほんの五分前

爽快な黙示録-apocalypse-が
貫いた胸で
甘口な気持ちをまだ
オーバードーズしてたいね

ねえ、君じゃなけりゃ
誰のために
僕は生きるんだ?
これは酷いワガママ
新しい瞬間(とき)を刻んで

まだ正直足りない
煩悩絡めた果実
伝えられない
でもそんなんじゃ

NO NO NO NO!!

もう後悔できない
裏切りの接吻-kiss-でもいい
青春の到来

極彩色に溺れて
朝焼けに染まる世界
君だけが僕の正解
独善的-selfish-なのは僕のため

つまりは愛する君のため

傲慢になって
ぎゅっと手 握って
綴りだそう、さあ
二人きりの創世記-genesis-

それでもまだ片想い
喧騒の中で
唐突に君が素敵で
無情な運命(さだめ)が僕を
コイに突き落とした

痛快な楽観主義-optimism-が
支配する胸で辛口なクスリでまた
痛みに耽りたいね

ねえ、君じゃなけりゃ誰のために
僕は生きるんだ?





気づいたら惹かれてた
新しい恋愛を始めよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Muzzle-lab's song "Selfish" explore the concept of the importance of having someone to live for. The singer is wondering who they would live for if not for the person they love. The lyrics reflect a sense of hopelessness in the time period they are living in, with no hope to be found in the music that fills the city. The singer is trying to distract themselves from their unfulfilling future by stacking combo notes and breaking through the gray time. The song mentions a recent world-ending event just five minutes prior to the present, which adds a sense of urgency to the singer's desire to find meaning in life.
