At the time, it just looks like she's commenting on the futility of self-sacrifice but now we see there's this whole other subtext where, presuming she got the curse of Ymir before she was 10, she knows she's going to die in her early 20s and so now we see that what she posed as her cover story, that she just wanted to be a selfish person who would take care of themselves, has a bittersweet irony because we now see that that is truly something she can never ever have. I think she just quoted what Erwin said earlier on the ceremony.
