1) Gojira is a metal band from Bayonne, France. Their lyrics focus on life, ecology, and spiritual themes. 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).

Gojira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Producing poison
And creeping in your veins
For the love of blood
The poison slowly spreads
Through the body and the mind
Close your eyes and drop your things
You are now high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
After walking all the miles
Consumed into your bones
And breathing all the dust
Of the desert land
I know that all along
You were doing it for absolution
It's written in your eyes
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Away
Just want to fly away, always higher
Away
Embrace the light on the other side
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Round
Round
Round
In Gojira's song "Magma," the band explores the theme of addiction and its all-consuming effects. The lyrics describe the chemistry of addiction, which produces a poisonous substance that creeps into the body and the mind, driven by a desire for the love of blood. The singer then goes on to describe how the poison spreads throughout the body and the mind, causing the addict to lose control, and to be ready to fly away. The singer then goes on to describe the experience of being high, and the sense of being alive while away, whether it's on the sun or the moon. The second verse describes the toll that addiction takes, which is consuming miles into the bones and breathing all the dust of the desert land. The singer knows that their addiction was driven by the desire for absolution, and this despair is written on the eyes. The chorus reiterates the sense of escape and flying away, always higher, and embracing the light on the other side.

Analyze this chemistry
Let's examine the chemical reactions happening here
Producing poison
Creating a dangerous substance
And creeping in your veins
Slowly spreading through your bloodstream
For the love of blood
Driven by a passion for violence or aggression
The poison slowly spreads
The toxic substance gradually permeates
Through the body and the mind
Invading both physical and mental aspects
Close your eyes and drop your things
Let go of your material possessions and focus inward
Be ready to fly
Prepare for a transformative experience
You are now high
Feeling euphoric or transcendent
In the sun, burn
Experiencing intense emotions or sensations
You're away, alive
Feeling free and alive
On the moon, round
Having a surreal or otherworldly experience
After walking all the miles
Having gone through a long and challenging journey
Consumed into your bones
Feeling the effects deep within oneself
And breathing all the dust
Inhaling the negative consequences
Of the desert land
Of a harsh and unforgiving environment
I know that all along
It is clear to me now
You were doing it for absolution
You sought forgiveness or redemption
It's written in your eyes
It's evident from your facial expressions
Away
Escaping from reality
Just want to fly away, always higher
Yearning for greater experiences
Embrace the light on the other side
Accepting a new and positive path forward
Round
Circling back to a recurring theme or idea
Round
Repeating the previous idea once again
Round
Concluding with the familiar concept of flying away

Joe and Mario Duplantier's mom passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the spiritual direction that Gojira take on the album and is even reflected in its title track "Magma". "Magma actually refers to the lava when it is still in a volcano, it's the blood of the Earth at the point where it is boiling and ready to explode," Joe Duplantier explained to The Independent. "We put the sun on the cover to symbolically represent the big bang, the source of life. Not only that, but if you remove the 'g' from Magma it spells Mama and we see the 'g' as a representation of Gojira."
