Selfish Fetish
Selfish Fetish: Love's Game of Tides and Desires
Lyrics
You say I do it all the time
You accuse me of a repeated action.
You’re not better than I am
Asserting equality, challenging the accuser's superiority.
You do it all the time too baby
Pointing out the accuser's similar behavior.
It’s okay I know what you’re doing
Acceptance of the accuser's actions, claiming understanding.
I’ve seen this all before
Experienced the situation before, indicating predictability.
Like an undertow you leave me
Metaphor of an undertow, describing the emotional pull.
Needing love and far from the shore
Feeling emotionally vulnerable and distant from support.
You can always be so selfish
Accusing the other of being selfish.
Wonder why can’t I be too?
Expressing a desire to be selfish as well.
This is not a competition
Clarifying it's not a competition, no need to prove anything.
No one’s here so you can’t lose
No external judgment, creating a safe space.
My selfish fetish x2
Repetition of "My selfish fetish," emphasizing a personal desire.
You should know I’m not waiting for you
Asserting independence, not waiting for the other person.
I’m not this kind of fool
Refusing to be a fool or be taken advantage of.
You can’t be the only who’s got to be so sad and blue
Challenging the other to share in the emotional burden.
Just decided not to be so
Decision to avoid being sad and blue.
You mean a lot to me
Acknowledging the importance of the other person.
Never wanted you to go it’s just that no one else can see
Expressing reluctance for the other person to leave.
My selfish fetish x 4
Reiteration of the desire for a selfish attitude.
I’m no good in telling lies
Admission of being honest and not good at lying.
Something fun to make it right and
Seeking enjoyment to make things right.
I don’t mind if this is all a game
Indifference to the situation, possibly a game.
It seems like you don’t feel the same
Perceiving a lack of mutual feelings.
