Lonesome by Born Idiot
The first single, "Lonesome" (out on 11/20/2024), is one of the standout tracks of the new album, where Lucas Benmahammed (writer/composer) lashes out against growing individualism. With its addictive chorus, raw and distorted guitars, and kitschy synths, the song reflects the deepening sense of loneliness in a world overflowing with hyper-connected people, calling for one last human struggle.

Lyrics
I thought we were all born on the same side
But I was wrong the whole time
Always in competition fading out
The fall's becoming creepy
Stop being so precious and hold my hand
Time after time we keep loosing the game
Stop being arrogant and hold my hand
So many times we have lost the game
Lost the game
No need to rush for what you can’t attain
The red line's exceeded
Always in competition dying out
We used to be so juvenile
Stop being so precious and hold my hand
Let’s try to walk together one more time
Stop staying on your side and hold my hand
So many times we have lost the game

Born Idiot strikes right at the heart with catchy choruses, kitschy synth riffs, and sharp guitars. There’s less holding back, less humor—the band is here to settle the score.
With a more rock-influenced sound on this album, the five musicians from Rennes take a new direction, embracing a bolder political stance, setting the stage for a farewell feast that hints at collective suicide.
