Indians Lyrics

Ride a horse that's cleaving through
The air and space of dreams
Travelling through time
All alone I pray
Where am I ? Who am I ?
And that old man trust in me
His words are running now
Because we have lost all guides
You're extended now to a world of light

You're not the one
You think you are
Since you were born
You're only love

On a mount I'm standing now
And it's coming over me
That I'm not here,
I am on another plane
Jumping around, hit myself
I returned inside of me
Tears sliding down my face
(I die again)
And the horse is leaving me
Running out of space
Running out of reach

You're not the one
You think you are
Since you were born
An Indian tribe

Cover art for Indians lyrics by Gojira

I think the song is about hard drugs or hard psychedelics, and the use of them to escape reality. He says that he is riding a horse that cleaves through the air and space of dreams. This could represent the dreamlike nature of psychedelics, the loss of consciousness, lack of awareness of himself and reality while in the psychedelic world. In this “world of light,” he realizes that he is not truly there, indicated by the lines, “And it's coming over me That I'm not here I am on another plane Jumping around, hit myself I returned inside of me…” This may signify the projection of consciousness to a different life through the use of psychedelics. I believe he jumps around and hits himself to bring himself back to reality and further conceal the barrier between it and his psychedelic experience. Tears slide down his face as he has to come to terms with reality. He realizes he’s not who he thought he was, the life he lived in his psychedelic experience was untrue.
