Tout seul
Mes Aïeux Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Tout seul" by Mes Aïeux portray a sense of isolation and frustration in the face of global issues and societal indifference. The singer finds themselves sitting or lying down, pondering what to do, with the sofa providing a physical anchor to their contemplations. The news constantly highlights wars and disasters happening across the world, creating a sense of despair and hopelessness.

The lyrics also touch upon the imbalance of power, with the small being consumed by the big, and overcrowded hospitals unable to accommodate everyone. Furthermore, the depletion of fish in our waterways and a zero-tolerance approach to drugs highlight other environmental and social concerns. All these issues contribute to the singer's feeling of being all alone in their awareness and concern.

The singer reflects on their own compassionate nature, acknowledging their willingness to help but feeling that there is nothing they can do. They long for someone who shares their sensibilities and understands their frustrations. Being alone on the parliamentary hill, they question why they would even bother going there, as it seems like a futile endeavor to seek solidarity.

In the final verse, the singer expresses a wish to hear a voice that shares their concern and sensitivity, someone who is equally disgusted by the state of affairs. They question if a revolution is required or if they are simply going crazy or being foolish for singing their song about these issues. However, they hold onto hope, believing that change will eventually come and that they should not lose heart. They maintain a positive outlook, continuing to sing their tune and finding solace in it.
