EGOÍSTA

In 'EGOÍSTA,' DAY LIMNS delves into the complexities of a relationship marked by selfishness and unspoken truths. The song opens with the artist expressing a desire not necessarily for love, but for the feelings that their partner evokes. This sets the stage for a narrative where emotional fulfillment is sought, even if it means ignoring the deeper issues at play. The lyrics 'Faz de conta que eu não sou / Mais seu amor nessa vida' suggest a willingness to pretend and overlook the reality of their relationship, highlighting a sense of denial and escapism.

As the song progresses, the recurring line 'Oh como ela vai me deixando pra trás' reflects a sense of abandonment and confusion. The partner's actions are contradictory; they don't want the artist to leave, yet they continue to push them away. This paradox is central to the song's theme, encapsulating the push-and-pull dynamic often found in toxic relationships. The repeated questioning of 'Por que você é tão egoísta?' underscores the frustration and hurt caused by the partner's selfish behavior.

The bridge of the song reveals a moment of self-awareness, where the artist admits to their own selfishness and reflects on the lies and half-truths that have tainted their relationship. The lines 'Me reconheci egoísta / Senti o gosto das suas mentiras' indicate a painful realization and a bittersweet nostalgia for the good times they shared. Despite the hurt, there's a lingering attachment, as evidenced by the artist's longing and the memories they cherish. The song closes with a mix of hope and resignation, capturing the eternal struggle between holding on and letting go in the face of a love that is both intoxicating and destructive.
