From The Sky
Gojira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was just light
And then, a storm of time and space just came and struck
Created our time
In water life
We understand, just only began
Forced to look to the sky
And wonder why
We cannot face the fact that we're all scared now
Of mysteries of life
There is a mask that soon will fall
Before the strong embrace of love and might
Of light in the dark
I go for a quest
I have to give myself the answer
Enter now this place in the wild
I can see the glade
My feeling now is growing bigger
From the sky
From the sky
I do feel like no one can save me
I am so alone and yet I cried
I called for help, forsaken
But now I know the only was is to understand the living
Obey the rule of light and face the fear
Inside out
Lost, I found there a stone
Erected in line
With one the brightest stars
Of all the night sky vaults
And I took my time
Took off the moss
Washed away the dust and gave a new lease of life
Its mystical force
I grab it now
And praise this lord of earth and stone
Make passage for souls awaken
So it returns
To where it's always been, with the gods
Now coming, I feel the love
It comes from on high
I know the words
But now I feel it inside
It grows, it's there
And all, it comes
From the sky
From the sky
The lyrics of Gojira's song "From The Sky" paint a picture of the creation of the universe, and our place within it. The opening lines describe the "storm of time and space" that gave birth to our existence. The formation of water and life on Earth is mentioned next, followed by the realization that humanity has developed an unshakable fear of life's mysteries. The song then becomes more personal, as the singer embarks on a quest for understanding and calls out for help.
The singer eventually comes across a stone that is aligned with a bright star, which they recognize as a "lord of earth and stone." By praising this object and creating a "passage for souls awaken," the singer appears to find a sense of peace and connection to the universe.
Line by Line Meaning
At the very first sound
At the beginning of creation
There was just light
Only light existed at the start of creation
And then, a storm of time and space just came and struck
An event occurred that brought time and space into existence
Created our time
The event created the concept of time for us
In water life
Life began in water
We understand, just only began
Our understanding of the universe is still at its infancy
Forced to look to the sky
We are impelled to look at the sky and search for answers
And wonder why
We question our existence and purpose
We cannot face the fact that we're all scared now
We refuse to admit that we are afraid of the unknown
Of mysteries of life
The mysteries of life perplex us
There is a mask that soon will fall
A revelation is about to occur
Before the strong embrace of love and might
An intense feeling of love and power will take over
Of light in the dark
Hope in times of darkness
I go for a quest
I set out to find answers
I have to give myself the answer
I am the only one who can provide the answers I seek
Enter now this place in the wild
I venture into the wilderness to find what I am looking for
I can see the glade
I glimpse a clearing
My feeling now is growing bigger
My intuition is becoming more intense
From the sky
The answer comes from the heavens
From the sky
Reaffirmation that the answer is divine
I do feel like no one can save me
I feel alone and vulnerable
I am so alone and yet I cried
I am emotional despite being alone
I called for help, forsaken
I reached out for assistance but got none
But now I know the only way is to understand the living
My only way forward is to comprehend life
Obey the rule of light and face the fear
Follow the path of goodness and bravery
Inside out
Deep within myself, I get the answers
Lost, I found there a stone
I was lost but discovered a stone
Erected in line
Standing in alignment
With one the brightest stars
In close proximity to the brightest star
Of all the night sky vaults
In the vast expanse of the night sky
And I took my time
I acted patiently
Took off the moss
I removed the moss that obstructed my object of interest
Washed away the dust and gave a new lease of life
I cleaned it up and restored its existence to a purposeful state
Its mystical force
Its inexplicable energy
I grab it now
I held onto it firmly
And praise this lord of earth and stone
I express admiration for the natural forces that brought the stone into existence
Make passage for souls awaken
Open doors for awakened spirits to pass through
So it returns
It goes back to its origin
To where it's always been, with the gods
It returns to a divine realm
Now coming, I feel the love
I sense a benevolent force approaching
It comes from on high
A celestial source
I know the words
I have acquired knowledge
But now I feel it inside
Now I truly understand it
It grows, it's there
It intensifies and is present
And all, it comes
It all derives from
From the sky
The origin is divine
From the sky
A reaffirmation that it all comes from a divine source
