I saw Gojira live when they were touring the UK with Alter Bridge and Volbeat and i hadn't really heard of them. After the short set they did, i went out and bought every Album, a few live DVD's and seen them on there own Headline tour. They became one of my all time favourite bands in a small amount of time.
I must have listened to this song into the hundreds when I first heard it...at least !.The album just came out, and If it wasn't for my metal head co worker who showed me this honey,,god knows how things woulda turned out. Maybe in the gutter with the rats Maybe beekeeping. Maybe doing other odds and ends. But hey she all panned out and I'm blessed 🙏
I'm sitting by a lake But it's not of this earth The water is so clear And the birds are alive A mirror for the sky They see themselves And fly away I'm sitting by a lake The universe is alive I lay down by the river-flow It's a river of stars I'm living by the ocean It's an ocean of light How do you call This place around us It's a world that I once saw In a dream Will you please tell me now If I'm dead or alive Landscapes so bright All around It's a city of light Where who when and why? I think therefore I am I feel like I know this land But it must be so far away... This world is life This "clouds-and-wonders" Is all I need And it will never go You say it's lost I don't believe it This is my vision We can never know This is the earth But ages after I know the world Will overcome its' pain The simple fact I dream about it Already makes it Happen in the rain It's right in front But you don't face it I'm dedicated All my life in me And made of light Our sun is growing Like in the heart of some of us I pray And other lands You will discover This form of life Is not the only one I was a child And I just knew it And now I know The vision came alive
@toplel_96 I have a very flimsy conscious understanding of how the song resonates with my subconscious mind but feeling-wise? I don’t feel like it’s negative in that sense. It’s almost like the first part of the song has the singer question his own perception of reality and wether everything he sees truly is real or not, including himself. If it all truly could be so beautiful as he perceives it you know? And the softer 2nd voice is almost like… reassuring him in a way by just stating whats being perceived. Like that softer voice is the man’s own subjective perspective of the reality hes interpreting in a way. And then the second part comes and there’s only one voice. The "main" voice, and he declares how truly real and precious all of this truly is. I can’t quite put it into words, but it’s sort of like an acceptance and even love for all things, despite the aggressive nature of the second part. Just good vibes from this song, at least personally. Resonates really hard.
Godlike. I love every piece of material this band has produced. So deep and meaningful in such a shallow, hollow world. Gojira is perfect grounding music. They produce such a range of emotion and truth. It is beautiful.
@@JohnMark32 I think he means that Gojira show beats any of the all time great bands he listed there. And Ive seen their show twice and can fully agree with that statement

Easily one of the most underrated Gojira songs
Litteraly the 9th most viewed on this channel wtf are tou talking about
It's one of my favorites. This whole album is dope af!
1st song I heard by Gojira. I’ve been a fan ever since, and seen them live twice - epic.

I'm sitting by a lake
But it's not of this earth
The water is so clear
And the birds are alive
A mirror for the sky
They see themselves
And fly away
I'm sitting by a lake
The universe is alive
I lay down by the river-flow
It's a river of stars
I'm living by the ocean
It's an ocean of light
How do you call
This place around us
It's a world that I once saw
In a dream
Will you please tell me now
If I'm dead or alive
Landscapes so bright
All around
It's a city of light
Where who when and why?
I think therefore I am
I feel like I know this land
But it must be so far away...
This world is life
This "clouds-and-wonders"
Is all I need
And it will never go
You say it's lost
I don't believe it
This is my vision
We can never know
This is the earth
But ages after
I know the world
Will overcome its' pain
The simple fact
I dream about it
Already makes it
Happen in the rain
It's right in front
But you don't face it
I'm dedicated
All my life in me
And made of light
Our sun is growing
Like in the heart of some of us
I pray
And other lands
You will discover
This form of life
Is not the only one
I was a child
And I just knew it
And now I know
The vision came alive
This is dope
Gojira lyrics strike my heart in the same way I imagine the bible's words struck the hearts of medieval peasants.
Deep shit right here..
"And all the lands, you will discover, this form of life is not the only one"
So deep bro 🤯
No one said real yet
This is probably the only song that can make me cry on demand. Idk why but theres just something about it that resonates with me.
same bro, it must be the fact that this world is doomed
@@toplel_96it is very emotional
Same. The imagery of the world that could've been, brings tears to my eyes each and every time.

Finally found a new band to add into my top 5
Best show I've ever seen and that's including Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Meshuggah, RATM, Ghost, Lamb of God and a ton of other great bands.
Woah. Where?
@@JohnMark32 I think he means that Gojira show beats any of the all time great bands he listed there. And Ive seen their show twice and can fully agree with that statement
0:30 that progression will catch me off guard even if i listened to this 1000 timed
Really? For me it’s catching the timing of that first power chord after that really slow slide in the intro
And catching when to start the slide/scrape
Groovy trip
I just realized that there is throat singing behind the vocals throughout the song. It's noticeable if you listen for it in the first few lines
I believe it's Joe singing very low notes, they often overdub the vocals a lot, which contributes to how big their songs feel, Gojira are amazing :)
I listen while sitting by a lake, still, calm, a mirror for the sky, transcended not of this earth. Unbelievable.
So many of gojiras songs puts my hairs on end 💚 been a fan since the first song ive heard of theirs
every time i hear a Gojira riff it gives me goose bumps
Noel avant noël... Agnès et son fils.

Reminds me of Alice In Chains
undertale vibes ngl
How does that make any sense
No?
That's the most random comparison I've ever seen
I'm sitting by a lake
But it's not of this earth
The water is so clear
And the birds are alive
A mirror for the sky
They see themselves
And fly away
I'm sitting by a lake
The universe is alive
I lay down by the river-flow
It's a river of stars
I'm living by the ocean
It's an ocean of light
How do you call
This place around us
It's a world that I once saw
In a dream
Will you please tell me now
If I'm dead or alive
Landscapes so bright
All around
It's a city of light
Were who when and why ?
I think therefore I am
I feel like I know this land
But it must be so far away
This world is life
There's clouds-and-wonders
It's all I need
And it will never go
You say it's lost
I don't believe it
This is my vision
We can never know
This is the earth
But ages after
I know the world
Will overcome its' pain
The simple fact
I dream about it
Already makes it
Happen in the rain
It's right in front
But you don't face it
I'm dedicated
All my life in me
And made of light
Our sun is growing
Like in the heart of some of us
I pray
And by the lynch
You will discover
This form of life
Is not the only one
I want the truth
And I just knew it
And now I know
The vision came alive
