| Gojira – The Way Of All Flesh Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
From what I can interpret... the lyricist is basically saying that one shouldn't turn their back on the inevitability of death. To do so would be a pointless and futile waste of one's personal energies. Rather than ignore or deny the fact that everything 'goes the way of all flesh' as the song is titled, that one should face it and when death does come knocking on your door, don't deafen yourself to her call. There is nothing to fear when crossing over into 'enlightenment' as some cultures believe it to be. Also, this represents the cycle of the album. The Way Of All Flesh is the 'death aspect' waiting for it's time to be reborn... or if you go back to the opening track, Ouroboros, which is a symbol of an infinite cycle. That cycle being birth, death, and rebirth. |
