SELFISH
Selfish Reflections: A Melancholic Journey of Solitude and Redemption
Lyrics
Nothings going on
Expressing a lack of activity or events at the moment.
No one is around
Emphasizing solitude or absence of people.
I guess that I'll just smoke and drink and lay back down
Indicating a coping mechanism of smoking and drinking, possibly to deal with boredom or emotions.
Being all alone really ain't so bad
Suggesting that being alone is not undesirable, especially if one has money.
As long as I got money
Implying financial stability as a source of comfort in solitude.
For one tall can
Specifically mentioning the ability to afford a tall can (possibly of beer).
Friends they come and go
Highlighting the transient nature of friendships and the inevitability of change.
Things they always change
Reflecting on the constant flux of circumstances.
I guess that I'll just smoke and drink and sleep all day
Reiterating the coping mechanism of smoking, drinking, and sleeping as a response to life changes.
I burned my bridges too
Admitting to burning bridges, possibly acknowledging mistakes or damaging relationships.
Something I always do
Stating a pattern of self-destructive behavior.
I got select friends but only just a few
Noting a limited circle of true friends.
Burn all the flower forget all the pain
Expressing a desire to move on from past pain and hardships.
I know that I did everything to make you go away
Taking responsibility for actions that contributed to someone leaving.
Maybe next time I'll try to be less selfish too
Acknowledging selfish behavior and expressing intent to change in the future.
In the meantime I'll just drink another brew
Meanwhile, resorting to drinking as a temporary escape.
Go to work come home
Describing a routine of going to work, playing the guitar, and seeking solace in substances.
Jam on my guitar
Adding a creative outlet to the routine.
I'll have another toke and wonder where you are
Continuing the pattern of using substances to cope and contemplating a person's whereabouts.
Maybe if I tried things wouldn't have to end
Expressing regret and considering alternative actions to prevent a relationship from ending.
I'll have another shot forget it all again
Choosing to forget troubles temporarily through alcohol.
Friends they come and go
Repeating the transient nature of friendships and the inevitability of change.
Things they always change
Reiterating the constant flux of circumstances.
I guess that I'll just smoke and drink and sleep all day
Recalling the coping mechanism of smoking, drinking, and sleeping in response to life changes.
I burned my bridges too
Repeating the admission of burning bridges and acknowledging past mistakes.
Something I always do
Reiterating a pattern of self-destructive behavior.
I got select friends but only just a few
Reiterating a small circle of true friends.
Selfishness my only trait
Identifying selfishness as a prominent trait.
Better days will have to wait
Anticipating better days but acknowledging the need for personal change.
Burn all the flower forget all the pain
Repeating the desire to move on from past pain and hardships.
I know that I did everything to make you go away
Acknowledging responsibility for actions that led to someone leaving.
Maybe next time I'll try to be less selfish too
Expressing intent to be less selfish in the future.
In the meantime I'll just drink another brew
Meanwhile, resorting to drinking as a temporary escape.
