Past Life
Selena Gomez TREVOR DANIEL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know why I'm bad at this, uh
And I don't wanna sit in all my sadness
I know it's a habit of mine
Perfect, perfect timing
I start what I don't know how to end
Don't re-, don't remind me
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you can never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last time, was the last time, whoa
Gave me what I wanted when I needed it
Honestly, I mean it
And if I could convince myself to feel it
You know I would feel it, I would
Perfect, perfect timing
I start what I don't know how to end
Don't re-, don't remind me
I ruined it before it began, oh
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you can never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I'll never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last night of my past life, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you could never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last night of my past life, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Oh)
Where we've been, what we know (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Will never go away (oh)
Will never go away (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Where we've been, what we know
Will never go away
Will never go away
The song "Past Life" by Selena Gomez is a hauntingly introspective piece about the emotional baggage we carry from past experiences, often resulting in self-destructive habits. The lyrics touch upon the struggle of the singer, who is trying to be honest with her own happiness but seems to be bad at it. She admits that sitting in sadness is a habit of hers, and she ruins everything even before it begins. The song appears to be about Selena reflecting on her past romantic experiences, realizing that she has to leave that behind if she wants to live the present moment and move on to the future.
In the chorus, the lyrics mention the last night being the end of her past life, where she can't be figured out by anyone, including her lover. She laments about the way she has used her lover in the past, but she knows it's time to move on and leave her bad habits behind. The song's lyrics may strike a chord with anyone who has gone through a devastating heartache, a relationship breakup or loss, or personal setbacks that left them feeling long-lasting emotional pain.
Overall, "Past Life" is a poignant song that speaks to the importance of letting go of the past and embracing the present. It's about acknowledging one's bad habits and emotional baggage and taking the necessary steps to move forward with hope and healing.

Selena’s music is so underrated. She deserves much more for her work. She has so many massive hits! Sad! She’s truly elegant, kinda like Audrey Hepburn, Rare!
@lilyroeun7324
For sure! She's an amazing and beautiful human being.
