I'm in a mental cage, I'm locked up Imprisoned I live, Deathlike, sickening Strong is your hold On my resignation I don't see the stars, My memories are veiled In fluid dreams I fall I'm restless Walls made of stone Are turned into water now Enlightened demons Are taking me by the hand Approaching me, The great eye speaking Mountainous waves Are breaking on my despair Awaken me but I'm still dreaming And I just plunge Into this sea of light Set open the doors of soul I'm living Lightning struck me I see the path I was so scared of And fly to the stars Conviction now increasing at last My skin is broken I see the smallest part of me My mind is alive But I'll never bow to this again Why do they call me there How can I fly to All this water I don't fell like I could ever swim to them Whales in the sky I feel they're so close Inside, and yet so far away Burst into tears, I feel sad My dreams aflame The force is now away Lie on a stone, Drop this load and cry to see The ocean planet is on burn
Tbh the last verse sounds more like: Burst into tears, I feel sad My dreams aflame The voices know a way Lie on a stone Drop this load and cry to see The Ocean Planet is unburned
I remember seeing these guys open for Slipknot years ago.. Came out "We are Gojira from France, MERCI BEAUCOUP!" Everybody boo'd and then they threw down this destroyer.. Nobody boo'd after that. My christ it's still planetary core heavy after all these years.
I found them in 2023. I took a 30 year break from metal. I have so much to catch up on. How did I miss out on all that Slipknot? Holy shit are they good. It's all new to me now.
I'll never forget the BEHEMOTH, GOJIRA, 2007 Rebellion tour it was Gojira 1st US full tour and immediately after that set I got this CD. Still have a few pieces of the Bible Nergal ripped up 😆.
There are Nasty Breakdowns in the mid which I can't stop Headbanging to even if I wanna stop, but that *Final Breakdown* towards the End is Heavier than Balls ................... *WRECKING Balls* 🤧💣🤧
From all of gojira’s masterpieces is Ocean planet my all time favorite song of Gojira. It’s heavy, intense and yet so emotional and powerful which I love
Everything about it, the main part of the song, beginning to mid, down to that epic build up to a even more epic closing shift. The progression in this song is what defines how progressive metal should be (for me)
If Tolkien had been born 1500 years earlier and press ganged into a Constantinople Bath House handing out Egyptian thread rags to wealthy Romans...well...this is exactly what that would sound like.

How can I fly to? All this water I don't feel like I could ever swim to them Whales in the sky I feel they're so close inside and yet so far away Burst into tears, I feel sad My dreams aflame The force is now away Lie on a stone Drop this load and cry to see The ocean planet is on burn
