about

"Selfish" paints the scene of a knowledgeable yet naive creature falling from an open space of innocence and crash landing into the World. After seeing firsthand all the horrible things it's heard people do to each other, and themselves, the creature finds itself at times entangled in these actions and emotions. Although dejected that it could stoop so low as to allow itself to be influenced by such feelings, it ultimately realizes they’re no better than the next person. Theirs is a bubble, burst.

lyrics

So
I've figured it out,
Or at least I'd thought...

The picture I saw
In my mind,
The one where I'm
Crammed
Stuck
Sitting in the backseat
In the dark...
I think I might've
Said too much

Tell me
Is it selfish of me
Surely you'd agree
That it's selfish of me,
But I can't seem to
Bite my tongue,
No I don't want to
Be the one who
Tears us down
