Flogging Molly - Selfish Man (live in L.A.) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I don't eat, I just devour, everyone in every hour
All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care
Propelled through all this madness by your beauty and my sadness
I'll never change or rearrange till I've finished what I've started

And life leads me here
It showed me I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time, you slipped through my hand
I'll never understand why I'm such a selfish man

Walk around me, not before me, I'll pretend not to ignore you
But I'll compromise if I realize you can do something for me
I'm ugly and you know it, but you think though I'm a poet
So I'll keep the rhyme, if I feel in time it gets me where I'm going

And life leads me here
It showed me I have never really loved no one but me
Like the time, you slipped through my hand
I'll never understand, no, I'll never understand why I'm such a selfish man

All I heard was an unearthly silence
Apart from the violence, explode in my head
Where all at once was this moment of beauty
No more since it slew me, no, never again, again, again

No, I'll never understand
No, I'll never understand
Why I'm such a selfish man, selfish man, selfish man
Selfish man, selfish man, selfish man
