Seule
Kaada/Patton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today this is my world
You'll be my girl
I'm awake
It's my world

Today this is my world
You'll be my girl
I'm awake
It's my world

Today this ain't my world
You're not my girl




I'm asleep
Goodnight world

Overall Meaning

Interpreting the lyrics of Kaada/Patton's song Seule can be seen as a kind of love poem, with a twist. The singer begins by affirming the present moment, declaring that this is their world and the person they are talking to will be their girl. The repetition of "today" could imply that this moment is unique and fleeting, implying a sense of urgency. The singer also emphasizes their presence and alertness, saying "I'm awake," which could be taken as a symbolic representation of a readiness to meet the person they are talking to, to embrace them and experience the world together.


However, the second verse takes a sudden turn as the singer declares that this "ain't [their] world." Here we see a shift in tone, hinting at a potential sense of disillusionment or confusion that may have been building up over time. This is further emphasized by the sudden disconnect between the singer and their previous partner, who was their "girl" earlier in the song. Now, they are no longer together and the singer feels asleep, bidding the world goodnight.


In this sense, Seule could be interpreted as a reflection on the fragile nature of relationships, the fleetingness of time, and the impermanence of connection. The song seems to capture a moment of transition where the singer moves from a space of hope and possibility to a space of loss and uncertainty.
