Rien que pour soi
Saule Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

N’avoir juste
Qu’une seconde
A soi
Même si
La terre gronde
On a
On a qu’à s’dire qu’elle pourra bien tourner deux secondes
Sans moi

J’voudrais juste
Une seconde

Et même
Si le temps nous mène
Par le bout du nez
Si on se laisse
Emporter
Quand même
J’emmène
un peu de moi-même
Dans un pays où on a le droit d’exister
Rien que pour soi, rien que pour soi

On a qu’à s’dire que la seule chose vraiment qui compte
C’est soi
J’voudrais juste une seconde

Et même
Si le temps nous mène
Par le bout du nez
Si on se laisse
Emporter
Quand même
J’emmène
Un peu de moi-même

Dans un pays où on a le droit d’exister
Rien que pour soi, rien que pour soi

Overall Meaning

The song "Rien que pour soi" by Saule is about the desire to have a moment of peace and solitude in a world that can be chaotic and overwhelming. The singer expresses the wish to have a second to oneself, even if the world is still turning without them. The emphasis is on creating a space where one can exist without interruption or expectation.

The song suggests that time and the expectations of others can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate, but that one can still find a sense of self and purpose if they create a space to do so. The singer wants to transport themselves to a place where they can just be, without worrying about the demands of the world or the expectations of others. The chorus emphasizes the desire for an individual space where one can exist without being defined by others, and where they can simply be themselves.

Overall, the song is about the importance of taking care of oneself and carving out a space where one can be alone with their thoughts and identity. It suggests that such moments of self-reflection and solitude can be powerful and transformative, even if they are brief.
