Flying Whales
Gojira Lyrics

Waters of chaos have invaded all space
The world is in chaos and everything is submerged in water

The flood on earth again
The earth is flooded, much like during the time of Noah's Ark

I have to find the whales
The singer seeks out the whales, whom he believes will guide him to safety

That once did guides us to the dry lands of life
The whales were once believed to lead humans to safety and a better life

I won't despair
The artist remains confident and hopeful

I'll break this dark around
The singer will fight against the darkness and uncertainty

Under the heavy sea
The singer ventures beneath the ocean

I'll search the flight of whales
The artist is searching for the whales' path to safety

Beneath the seas I searched
The artist explores under the sea

And had a different view
The artist gains a new perspective on the world

Of us on earth
The singer reflects on humanity's current situation

The sinking ship of men
Humanity is compared to a sinking ship

But it's beyond the stars
The solution to humanity's problems is something greater and beyond

I found the place where they were
The singer finds where the whales are located

And they finally came to light
The whales become visible

Over the winds
The whales fly through the air

They dwell in light
The whales are surrounded by light

Like the arrow in the sky
The whales fly gracefully in the sky

I found myself on higher grounds, from up here
The singer has gained an elevated perspective from finding the whales

For I see them, all the ways in flight
The artist watches the whales fly in awe

Now I can see the whales
The artist has located the whales

Looming out of the dark
The whales appear out of the darkness

I can't believe my eyes
The singer is amazed by what he sees

But it's true
The artist realizes that what he sees is real

Huge tunnel ends in light
The singer sees a massive tunnel illuminated by light

Like banks of clouds they gather
The whales gather together like clouds forming in the sky

See massive shape of flesh
The singer sees the whales' enormous size up close

Swimming giants in the clear
The whales are majestic creatures, swimming through clear water

The mightiest comes to me
The largest, most powerful whale approaches the artist

I'm on the wing, wide open
The singer feels like he is flying, arms stretched wide

They teach me how to fly
The whales are guiding the singer and teaching him how to fly

Slowly moving in the air
The artist is learning to fly slowly and gracefully

So much told with
The artist realizes that there is much meaning conveyed

No words at all
Despite no spoken words, the interaction with the whales conveys powerful meaning

Powerful presence
The whales have a strong, awe-inspiring presence

For only speech
The lack of use of verbal communication makes the experience even more impactful

Breath
The singer finds meaning in the mere presence of the whales

Fly
The song ends with one final reference to the whales' ability to fly
