Narcissist

**"Narcissist"** is Rome’s 4th single off of his first EP *RIP Indo Hisashi*. Despite working with Matthew Healy and George Daniel of The 1975 on the entire EP, "Narcissist" is the only song that actually features them on the track. It samples "Solo" by Jay Park.

## Background

The song was released 28th August, 2018 and aired on Beats1 Radio for its release paired with an interview in which Rome explained how The 1975 ended up featuring on the track.

*"I made a demo then I sent it over to Matty cause we were listening to the stuff that I’d been working on recently. I sent him over that track and he also fell in love with it the same way I did, and he was like, 'oh, do you wanna do something with it?' so I was like 'yeah.'"*
## Lyrics

(You got me like)

(You got me like)

**No Rome:**

Take a picture of all my flaws

Or you can take a video on your phone

(You got me like)

And you know that I would talk

But I'm too afraid to pick you up and go home

(You got me like)

I'm feeling Dazed like a magazine

Finding my own sanity, wishing it'll all go away

(You got me like)

Now we're smoking off the balcony

You're telling me profanities, maybe it was never okay

(You got me like)

345's where we stayed

She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again

Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"

Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

345's where we stayed

She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again

Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"

Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

**Matty Healy:**

(You got me like) (You got me like)

(You got me like) (You got me like)

And I've been seeing somebody

But I've not found a way to tell you

(You got me like)

That I'm seeing somebody

There's not a nice way for me to say that

(You got me like)

I've been seeing somebody

You know I want you to be happy

(You got me like)

Since I'm seeing somebody and then maybe we can get on with it

(You got me like) (You got me like)

(You got me like)

**No Rome:**

Stay out late, I just wanna get stoned

Telling all your friends that I'm never at home

And my face filling up with blood

But you're still saying they don't like your bourgeois

Coughing up the promethazine

Living like an evergreen, sorry for the things that I've done

Now Selena won't be friends with me, I was kissing Emily

I love you, it was never your fault (Got me like)

345's where we stayed

She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again

(You got me like)

Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"

Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

**Matty Healy:**

(You got me like)

And I've been seeing somebody

But I've not found a way to tell you

(You got me like)

That I'm seeing somebody

There's not a nice way for me to say that

(You got me like)

I've been seeing somebody

You know I want you to be happy

(You got me like)

Since I'm seeing somebody and then maybe we can get on with it

(You got me like)

Seeing somebody

(You got me like)

**No Rome:**

345's where we stayed

She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again

Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"

Now I'm boutta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends
