| Gojira – Esoteric Surgery Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is definitely one of my favorite songs. I will break it down line-by-line. You have the power to heal yourself (the basic definition of "esoteric surgery") All illness can be healed (pretty straight forward) The cell regenerates (cells can regenerate to heal tissues) Disambiguated situation (break down what he was saying) There is a secret code (he's talking about DNA) In the structure of the mind (your mind can give commands to each cell) You have the power to heal yourself (your body uses those things to heal itself) Flesh bodies mute and blinded (people are unaware) Roaming uncertain, lost (they're walking aimlessly) Infected misinformed (they've been spreading incorrect information) Releasing a black enormous insect (by spreading the information, they're giving birth to a parasite) Out from the chest (I think they're saying that it's coming from the heart) Archaic from disease (it has become very old from the spreading disease) Esoteric surgery a dissection of the soul (you can only heal yourself if you have the will power) Unsuspected precise power (people are often not expecting that some ailments can be healed so thoroughly) On the wounded astral body (an astral body is a medium between the physical body and the soul) (from those who are wounded in both their souls and bodies) Projected beam of light (hope is projected from those who have been wounded in their souls as well as their bodies) All illness can be healed (pretty straight forward) The cell regenerates (cells can regenerate to heal tissues) Disambiguated situation (break down the what he was saying) There is a secret code (he's talking about DNA) In the structure of the mind (your mind can give commands to each cell) You have the power to heal yourself (your body uses those things to heal itself) Suspended floating in empty spaces (purgatory) Descending swift like a fire running down (the thing blocking you from passing on) Obstruction disintegration life force (there are road blocks in your way of passing onto the next world) Overcoming all circumstances (overcome the road blocks) Release the pain (pass on to your next life) This song is very difficult to interpret, but I think it's about how the body can heal itself when necessary. They go on to say that some people lose all hope for themselves and end up leading themselves to their own demise. At the end of the song, they talk about passing on to the next life. |

| Gojira – Inward Movement Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I believe that they are trying to say that you shouldn't let your sorrows beat you down. Here's an example: "Slow inside, I take my time; will come and fill the empty space. My wound I'll nurse. I'll understand my pain one day will disappear." He's basically saying that he is taking time to overcome whatever pains he feels inside. "I walk inside to the heart of my kingdom, climb up a mountain, and stand on the top of it. I am the king and I am the servant. Follow the rules of loving mighty power." I think here he's saying that he has overcome everything in his heart (climb up a mountain and stand on the top of it), and saying that at the same time he is no better than anyone else (I am the king and I am the servant). |

| Gojira – Toxic Garbage Island Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I actually think that this may reference the novel Zodiac: An Eco-Thriller by Neil Stephenson about guerrilla environmentalism which mainly takes place on an island made entirely of garbage. Now, this is just my opinion, and the song might not actually have anything to do with the novel. | |
