Lyrics:
Serpent of light, movement of the soul
Crawling stately along the spine
Mighty phoenix, from the ashes arises
Firebird cycle, life, regenerate the cell
Life burns fierce, reduced to ashes
Resurrection from the flame, ageless process
Quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect
Self-consuming womb, ever-present, meet no end
It seems like I always knew this
Since I'm a child i can feel it
My inner light everlasting
Revolving within a circle
Extended wings I'm flying
Over the valleys and planes
the curve of space I'm leaving
Death is just an illusion
Oroborus symbol of eternal life
Dig a tunnel for light, through ignorant walls
I'm counting the days but I'm dying
Grow up with impatience I'm falling down
On the peaks of radiant mountains
This truth is growing before me
My attention fixed on this silence
Rediscover life while I'm breathing
Designing the shape of material
Frozen icon distant reminder
Mankind has forgotten the gateways
By the mouth of the serpent regenerate
I love this great great band🤘❗Fight for nature!
OROBORUS
*First song from “The Way of All Flesh,” it is a song very regularly played live.*
*It features riffs played with tapping, a guitar technique involving using two hands to fret the notes instead of one.*
serpent of light
*The Oroborus (or Ouroboros) is an ancient symbol of regeneration featuring a snake in a circle consuming its tail. This symbol embodies regeneration or rebirth, similar to a phoenix, but contrary to a phoenix there is no definite start or end to the Oroborus; it is eternal.*
movement of the soul
crawling stately along the spine
mighty Phoenix from the ashes arises
firebird cycle of life, regenerate the cell
*In this album, Gojira deal with the impending nature of death and its effects on spirituality and nature alike. Hence, in this line, we see the juxtaposition of ‘Firebird’ (a Phoenix, a spiritual symbol) and ‘Cell’ (scientific term). As before, these lines deal with regeneration.*
life burns fierce, reduced to ashes
*Life burns fierce in its eternal regeneration. It is reduced to ashes, which carries on with the theme of the album (especially prominent in the title track, The Way of all Flesh).*
*Continuing with the phoenix motif, a phoenix is “reduced to ashes” when it dies. However, it is reborn from those same ashes in order to live anew.*
resurrection from the flame
*This line continues the imagery of Phoenixes and rebirth from flames. The life cycle of the phoenix, in essence, is self-consumption through flame and rebirth from the ashes.*
ageless process
quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect
*Introspection is defined as the examination of one’s own thoughts or feelings, and hence while the soul, or person in question, is ‘out of bounds’, it still observes its own thoughts.*
self-consuming womb
*The womb is the organ in which pregnancy occurs (this album features a multitude of relatively scientific/biological terms). Hence, a self-consuming womb will always consume, or destroy the soul that it creates. However, carrying on with the theme of rebirth in this song, the self-consuming womb will live again in a never-ending circle - an oroborus.*
ever-present, meet no end
*Omnipresence or ever-presence denotes a state of existence in which a being will always be present. In this case, the omnipresence of the soul will meet no end.*
it seems like I always knew this
since I'm a child, I can feel it
*The protagonist of the song has always known that their soul is in a state of endless regeneration. This continues the theme of regeneration, and possibly is a reference to Hindu mysticism wherein the state of life and the being is in perpetual regeneration. The theme of Hindu mysticism in this album is continued with Yama’s Messengers.*
my inner light everlasting
revolving within a circle
extended wings I'm flying
over the valleys and planes
the curve of space I'm leaving
*The wings in these lines may refer to:*
*The ‘literal’ Wings of the Phoenix.*
*A metaphor for the journey of the soul over the earth, perhaps reaching a higher spiritual plane. This links to the next line, ‘leaving the curve of space’.*
death is just an illusion
oroborus symbol of eternal life

I'm counting the days, but I'm dying
grow up with impatience, I'm falling down
on the peaks of radiant mountains

designing the shape of material
frozen icon distant reminder

It involves the tongue technique as well.
Excellent interpretation of this song.
By watching how the play live, I just feel an immense amount of respect for them. They give their heart out each second. I've never seen them live, but watching them here makes it feels so real.
do it if you can... spend as much money as its necessary
Seen them life 4 times to date, still not enough.
Dude, try to see them. It's so intense. Not my favorite band, yet one of my favorite live bands for sure!
PASSION. 100%. Passion + Precision = GOJIRA
Perry Kettler totally agree! Saw them with a friend who’s a big fan; they started with this song & within 30 seconds I was hooked! Really tight musicians 🤘🤘
How can a song melt your face off & be absolutely stunning at the same time??

Best job ever: bassist for Gojira :D
amazing sound! the drums are so clear, the mixer did a really good job

Brixton academy sound crew deserve new category for Nobel prize. Gojira sounds great by themselves, but those guys made even Korn sound great when they performed there. I love Korn, but they are way past their prime
