Selfish Love

Selfish Love is a 2018 song by 2:45, merging indie rock, indietronica, electronic rock, noise pop energy, and a raw post-punk attitude.

It is a song about liberation, refusing fake love, lies, and expectations that ask you to become someone you are not.

There is anger, survival, and freedom in it — the feeling of being stuck in the middle of your own path, in a body that does not always feel like home, while still finding enough voice to sing along.

A song for walking away from selfish love, not crying or dying for anyone, and choosing your own truth over someone else’s disguise.

Listeners note that they can “feel a lot of pain” in the singing, which perfectly mirrors the song’s confrontational lyrics. The consensus is that this song is a pure pleasure to listen to and stands out as a definitive favorite for many fans. It is widely regarded as a track you never tire of hearing, sparking a cosmic emotional connection that leaves listeners completely “arrested with emotion.”

Lyrics

I don’t give a fuck about you.
I won’t change my clothes for you.
I don’t need your light to guide me.
I’m just fine right here.

The world is chaos all around.
And I don’t know what to do.
I tried to go away, so many times for you.
And you don’t even care.

So stucked!
In the middle of nowhere, stucked.
In the middle of my own walk.
In a body I don’t belong.
In a world that drives you mad.
I survive to sing along.
I won’t cry or die for you, no, no.

Why do you have to lie? so much.
About the things you’ve done.
Why do you have to be… so fake?
About the way you are.

So stucked!
In the middle of nowhere, stucked.
In the middle of my own walk.
In a body I don’t belong.
In a world that drives you mad.
I survive to sing along.
I won’t cry or die for you, no, no.

Everybody is telling lies,
about the way you love.
I tried to be like you.
But I can’t be a liar too.

Fuck me,
I don’t need to be like you.
With your selfish love,
I don’t need someone like you.
Fuck me, I don’t need no selfish love.
Selfish love is something I don’t want.

So stucked!
In the middle of nowhere, stucked
In the middle of my own walk In a body I don’t belong.
In a world that drives you mad I survive to sing along.
And I won’t cry or die for you, no, no.
