Cover art for Death of Me lyrics by Gojira

'i put myself in irresponsible (human) hands.' at one time he was enlightened but he couldnt help put himself in human hands. 'exhausted I no longer try to reveal myself' and emotional exhaustion, probably from the stresses of approaching the end of life he lost his goal to free his soul and free himself from worldy desires and suffering. In the next verse he admits his closeness to death and that no matter how important anyone is they will face death. 'Burn ego's black reality' He is forced to face death and he loses his individual pride and realizes that he is a part of the whole. Of nature, of the life process. In this way he feels raised from the dead because he is no longer bound by fear of death. He is freed from it.

The title 'death of me' could behis literal process of facing his iminent death or it could be a metaphor for the death of his old worldly view for his new enlightened philosophy.
