Analyze this chemistry
Producing poison and
Creeping in your veins
For the love of blood
The poison slowly spreads
Through the body and the mind
Close your eyes and drop your things
Be ready to fly
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
After walking all the miles
Consumed into your bones
And breathing all the dust
Of the desert land
I know that all along
You were doing it for absolution
It's written in your eyes
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Away,
Just want to fly away, always higher
Away,
Embrace the light on the other side
Producing poison and
Creeping in your veins
For the love of blood
The poison slowly spreads
Through the body and the mind
Close your eyes and drop your things
Be ready to fly
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Consumed into your bones
And breathing all the dust
Of the desert land
I know that all along
You were doing it for absolution
It's written in your eyes
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Just want to fly away, always higher
Away,
Embrace the light on the other side

This song's about Duplantier brothers mother's death.
Joe and Mario Duplantier's mom passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the spiritual direction that Gojira take on the album and is even reflected in its title track "Magma". "Magma actually refers to the lava when it is still in a volcano, it's the blood of the Earth at the point where it is boiling and ready to explode," Joe Duplantier explained to The Independent. "We put the sun on the cover to symbolically represent the big bang, the source of life. Not only that, but if you remove the 'g' from Magma it spells Mama and we see the 'g' as a representation of Gojira."
