GOJIRA - 'Global Warming' 

The ending gives me massive chills, because it is left ambiguous if the protagonist of the album actually made a difference in the outcome of the future of the planet or not, you have joe cleanly singing "We will see our children growing" which has a lot of hope behind it, but at the same time he's also screaming the same phrase, which creates this sense of doom and despair, he's screaming that because he really wants to believe it, but clearly knows that we will sadly not mot have a good future for our children, masterpiece of a song

the heaviest part : we will see our children growing

This takes me on a journey deep down inside. I discover thunder, storms, high mountains, raging oceans and most importantly : tenacious hope.

To me, this song is about overcoming eco-anxiety and finding hope and the will to fight towards a better future. *** Lyrics / my analysis: Four hundred thousand years ago They came from outer space and gave us life here And we are just taking everything for granted I don't think we should do this now And when I see the smoke around I feel like I'm not from humankind down there I feel like glaciers are my eyes And mountains are my head, my heart is ocean And I feel all alone 'Cause everybody's wrong, I fear the living What is this thing that we call hate? And that's inside of me, get out of here [first verse describes our impending environmental doom and the feelings of the protagonist - they feel alone, estranged around other people, they fear and they hate] A world is down, and none can rebuild it Disabled lands are evolving My eyes are shut, a vision is dying My head explodes, and I fall in disgrace [the bridge sounds heavier and shows a hopeless scenario that deeply affects the protagonist, as they feel like falling in disgrace] I hold my inner child within And tell him not to cry: "Don't fear the living" One day you will stand as a king And no fear can erase this light below us Each one of us is now engaged This secret we all have, this truth is growing And as a warrior, I have to fight I can already feel the love I'll discover [second verse is calmer, as if the protagonist is getting over those feelings pf despair they once had. Visions of their inner child gave them hope for the future and, with that, the will to take action - now, the protagonist is a "warrior", motivated by hope ("I can already feel the love I'll discover")] I had this dream, our planet surviving The guiding stars always growing And all the worlds, the fates all the countries They're all rebuilding at the same time I never fell and always believed in We could evolve and get older Open thy eyes and let all this flow in Now see a new hope is growing inside [third verse is, again, heavier, as the protagonist describes a more vivid picture of their dream. This time, unlike in the bridge, the heaviness sounds more empowering, and incites us to take action towards a new, different future, something better than this capitalist dystopia we have now] We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing We will see our children growing [yes, we will. The final outro repeat this affirmation, as to not make us forget about hope. We can make a better world for our children]

who dislike this masterpiece ??

I’m just so lucky to be a college biology student and experience this amazing music that isn’t only beautiful from a melodic standpoint. Gojira is my favorite metal band because of their lyrics and messages in their masterpiece of an album.

"We will see our children growing" 🤘

My favorite song from this album, masterpiece

I hope this outlasts humanity..

Oh god I cant decide if i like this version or the live studio recording better. They're both different but really good.

WE WILL SEE

Ear-gasmic

MY HEART IS OCEAN

This is the song that got me listening to Gojira. Saw them for the first time in Orlando back in October of ‘21. I love this band! Hope they come back.

What... no comments? Cmon people... pull your finger out

Somptueuse et criante de vérité, toujours une foule de sensations à l'entendre

When depression hits me the hardest, this song is my cure

Gojira is power

I am not worthy

I can hear this song in loop for entire weeks. This must be the song that everyone will hear during the doomsday.

Cette chanson est un véritable bijou, mais je crois que la version live qu'ils ont enregistrée au Silver Cord Studio en 2018 surpasse la version studio originale. Dans tous les cas, les riffs de guitare sont géniaux! Je ne comprend toujours pas comment je n'ai découvert Gojira que cette année... Mille excuses Messieurs!

This song is actually really good for practicing tapping

This is my fave song on this album which is my fave from these beasts.

Amazing song. One of my favorite songs back in highschool. Took my mind away from so many problems.

Même après cent écoutes, j’arrive toujours pas à comprendre comment un simple riff répété en boucle avec quelques variations peu donner un morceau aussi puissant…

beautiful song alv

Accurate label name

Im crying this is beatiful

Vous aussi vous ressentez toute cette puissance ? La connexion avec quelque chose bien au-delà ? From mars to sirius avec terra incognita ,the link et aussi the way of all flash, c'est une ode à l'élévation spirituelle , avec l'affrontement des recoins les plus sombres de son âme avant de parvenir à la lumière.

this song is really hard to play

I like the part where we will see our children growing

Awsome

this album are the best

Damn this shit fucking rips

nasıl giriş ya offfff🔥🔥🔥

This lyrics are that great Gojira tries to make our planet a better place for us fuck us save our animals and their environment i'am so sad

Their voice at this one reminds me of Arcturus at their beginnings

we will see our children dying....

"Global Warning"

Messi de calcinha

This planet is dying, we will not see our children growing, earth temperature rises over years.

Did anyone think that the opening riff sounded like the piano theme from Granny?

Amazing song
