They often say I look like I've got
Everything, but they don't know
The ghosts that haunt me and
The requiems I sing to myself
I play tough every passing day
And the stones of every wall break someday
I might be the rock they think
But I'm more fragile than I want them to see
Mom told me before leaving
"Never show your weaknesses and in the worst
Stay strong, swallow your tears
‘Cause your pride'll stay your finest weapon"
So I know how to laugh when I have to
But don't believe it, I crack as soon as they turn their backs on me
I walk straight so I won't bend
Besides, I often sing so I won't scream
When I think about my life
Facing my nights
Every day that rises tells me that
I'm alone in the world
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
I feel alone in the world
I hate Christmas and all those stupid holidays
Family stuff and everything that reminds me of my best life
I'm jealous of you lucky ones
Who take your flesh, your blood for granted
I can't stand your pity
I take your generosity the wrong way
It's been a while I've been enough for myself
That's not true but to stay strong, that's what I tell myself
Whatever happens, I gotta stay in character
Whatever happens, I can't lose control
I think of me before the rest of the world
‘Cause over the years I realized that
If it's not me, it'll be nobody
Not him, not you, nobody
Down here it's every man for himself
For the poor and proud loners like me
When I think about my life
Facing my nights
Every day that rises tells me that
I'm alone in the world
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
I feel alone in the world
That I'm alone in the world
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
I feel alone in the world

SONG MEANING

Have you ever worn a superhero cape on the outside while feeling like tissue paper inside? That is exactly the double life Corneille and Soolking confess in Seul Au Monde. Over a smooth, soulful beat they peel back the armor of a man who looks “unbreakable” but is haunted by ghosts, lullabies turned into personal requiems, and a mother’s stern advice to never let the world see him cry. The repeated chorus, “Je suis seul au monde,” rings out like a diary entry shouted from a rooftop: no matter how many smiles he puts on, each sunrise reminds him that he is still fighting his battles solo.

The song swings between bravado and vulnerability, jealousy and pride. Corneille despises Christmas because it spotlights the family warmth he lost, yet he also swats away anyone’s pity. His survival rule is simple: if he does not look out for himself, nobody will. Soolking’s verse echoes that grim determination, turning solitude into a badge of honor but also a heavy chain. In the end, Seul Au Monde is both an anthem for the lonely and a reminder that everyone you meet could be hiding their own cracked foundations beneath a polished façade.
