| Gojira – Death of Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
'i put myself in irresponsible (human) hands.' at one time he was enlightened but he couldnt help put himself in human hands. 'exhausted I no longer try to reveal myself' and emotional exhaustion, probably from the stresses of approaching the end of life he lost his goal to free his soul and free himself from worldy desires and suffering. In the next verse he admits his closeness to death and that no matter how important anyone is they will face death. 'Burn ego's black reality' He is forced to face death and he loses his individual pride and realizes that he is a part of the whole. Of nature, of the life process. In this way he feels raised from the dead because he is no longer bound by fear of death. He is freed from it. The title 'death of me' could behis literal process of facing his iminent death or it could be a metaphor for the death of his old worldly view for his new enlightened philosophy. |

| Gojira – Flying Whales Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Looking beyond society's meaningless culture and temporary desires which fully guide our lives to find a higher meaning. Through the progression of time we have lost the values which used to guide us. He has found his peaceful wisedom which has been personified as a whale. This become a 'arrow in the sky' and has guided him through this materialist, impulse driven world | |
| Gojira – Clone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is about more than that. It criticizes the human race for interfereing in natural processes like life, not appreciating it for what it is. Especially birth. Taking natural processes in our own narrow minded hands without the forethought to know the consequences. Be it cloning, abortion, genetic modification. We will compromise ourselves and nature because of our worldly and empty intentions | |
