They were formed in 1996 by brothers Joe Duplantier (vocals and lead guitar) and Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andreu (guitar) and Alexandre Cornillon (bass guitar). Cornillon left the band in 2001 and Jean-Michel Labadie became their bass player.

A SIGH TO BEHOLD
Gojira Lyrics
Reflecting ourselves in the blood of all the beings we slay
Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain
There is a mystery, we′re facing a sight to behold
This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away
The way we all behave is not understandable
It is so sad to see the wealth of our planet fade away
We all behave like children, taking off the head of our
Teddy bear to see what's inside, taking, not giving back
We drain the oceans and suck all the blood out of the soil
We spend the time we have left fighting and killing each other
Lust for comfort, entertainment becomes an obsession
And there is so much time to kill
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I′m walking, standing on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
I have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore
You burn yourself, set fire for good
We die eyes closed, dig our own grave now
Tossed in the blaze, naked on the flame
Lost with no pride, drowned in the filth
The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads
And the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I′m living, dying on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
Don′t have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what′s worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore
Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain
There is a mystery, we′re facing a sight to behold
This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away
The way we all behave is not understandable
It is so sad to see the wealth of our planet fade away
We all behave like children, taking off the head of our
Teddy bear to see what's inside, taking, not giving back
We drain the oceans and suck all the blood out of the soil
Lust for comfort, entertainment becomes an obsession
And there is so much time to kill
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I′m walking, standing on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
I have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore
You burn yourself, set fire for good
We die eyes closed, dig our own grave now
Tossed in the blaze, naked on the flame
Lost with no pride, drowned in the filth
The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads
And the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I′m living, dying on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
Don′t have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what′s worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore
Try not to get it anymore

You Suck
[Verse 1]
Reflecting ourselves in the blood of all the beings we slay
Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain
There is a mystery, we're facing a sight to behold
This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away
[Verse 2]
The way we all behave is not understandable
It is so sad to see the wealth of our planet fade away
We all behave like children, taking off the head of our
Teddy bear to see what's inside, taking, not giving back
We drain the oceans and suck all the blood out of the soil
We spend the time we have left fighting and killing each other
Lust for comfort, entertainment becomes an obsession
And there is so much time to kill
[Chorus]
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm walking, standing on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
I have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore
[Bridge]
You burn yourself, set fire for good
We die eyes closed, dig our own grave now
[Verse 3]
Tossed in the blaze, naked on the flame
Lost with no pride, drowned in the filth
The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads
And the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under
[Chorus]
The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm living, dying on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused, so sophisticated
Don't have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point, what's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore

Gojira saved me from a life of addiction and self destruction. I literally found this band while detoxing and filled my ear holes with their impressive lyrical and musical abilities and I'm proud to say that I maintain sobriety to this day and I just entered a career of truck driving for a fantastic company and my future looks awesome. Plus I have turned a lot of people onto this band. Long live Gojira. Peace be to all

Good luck and a sober future for you!
Damon Johnson
Hesusfkr thank you very much. I'm enjoy it very much.

I've literally had a similar experience. Got into Gojira a few months ago when I decided to keep my addiction in check. Some of the music I listened to didn't feel the same when I was not high all the time. I stopped listing to a lot of the mellow music I used to listen to. I started getting bored of music very easily. But that is not the case with Gojira. Their music is fucking incredible.

I've had the chance to not have any addiction for now, and I'd say that Gojira, Devy, Meshuggah, LP, etc have prevented me to follow this path so rock on man, hope you the best ! \m/

If your life of addiction was cured by a band you didn’t have addiction for anything
