Death Of Me
Gojira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A giant bright eagle has come
On me and taken away my universe
I find myself in trouble now
I put my soul in irresponsible hands

Exhausted I no longer try to reveal myself
And I no longer want to free my soul
But I must not forget all what I did for us
This way I feel myself irreplaceable

You had finally come to death
And you will never come to life again
Burn ego's black reality
Bring on the light I want to see your face

I feel the end is near for me my world goodbye
People of the dead, I join you
In this confusion I don't even recall my name
There is something inside I want to reveal

I feel like I'm a part of this
And this a part of me
I know one must have confidence
I will overcome

From now on I'm "this", and not "me"
I feel like I'm rising from the dead




From up here I see my inner world is dying
I'll overcome my pain

Greek Translation

Ένας Τεράστιος λαμπερός αετός έχει έρθει
Σε εμένα και μου πήρε το σύμπαν
Βρίσκω τον εαυτό μου σε μπελά
Τοπεθέτησα την ψυχή μου σε επιπόλαια χέρια
Εξαντλημένος δεν προσπαθώ να αποκαλυπτώ
Και δεν θέλω πια να ελευθερώσω την ψυχή μου
Όμως δεν πρέπει να ξεχάσω αυτά που έχω κάνει για εμας
Με αυτό το τρόπο αισθάνομαι αναντικατάστατος

Επιτέλους έχεις έρθει σε θάνατο
Και ποτέ δεν θα ξαναζωντανέψεις
Κάψε του εγώ την μαύρη πραγματικότητα
Φέρε το φως θέλω να δω το προσώπο σου
Νιώθω το τέλος να είναι κοντα για μένα κόσμος μου αντίο
Άνθρωποι των νεκρών,έρχομαι μαζί σας
Σε αυτή την σύγχυση δεν μπορώ καν να θυμηθώ το ονομά μου
Υπάρχει κάτι μέσα που θέλω να αποκαλύψω

Αισθάνομαι σαν να είμαι μέρος του
Και αυτό μέρος μου
Γνωρίζω πως ένας πρέπει να έχει αυτοπεποίθηση
Θα το ξεπεράσω
Από τώρα είμαι "αυτό",και όχι "εγώ"
Αισθάνομαι σαν να υψώνομαι απο τους νεκρούς
Από εδώ πάνω μπορώ να δω τον ενδόμυχο μου να πεθαίνει
Θα ξεπεράσω τον πόνο
