| Gojira – World to Come Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| There is one big punch line that gave me the meaning of this song straight away (from my perspective). "I think, therefore I am". This is the most known line in philosophy, written by Descartes (original is "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am"). It's the evidence for existence. Even more, it's the only undoubtful evidence you can have in life. In this song, Gojira sings about another world, but an unknown world. They question the world in many ways, as they don't know what it is. They say they see it in a dream, but also in a vision that shows future. They think it's not real, as wel as they question there own being in this very place. Descartes' line gives hereby the evidence that our own vision of reality can't be accepted as false. But also that this vision can't be accepted as true. The world we live in can be questioned. But the fact that you think, gives you evidence for your OWN realism. As Gojira asks in the song, "Am I dead or alive". The answer is, your mind might be in another "reality". It might be life, death, a dream, a simulation, hell, heaven or even being on drugs. But not the idea of not being alive. Because we're always in our own reality. We're always alive in ourselves. | |
