Stranded
Gojira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Distinctive lack of control
The cure is somewhere in the silence
But I'm crushed by the noise inside
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of me falls for you
Another day in the dark, no, no
Stranded in the night
Stranded in the cold
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me face-down dead
Another day in the dark
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me face down dead
Another day in the dark
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone
The lyrics to "Stranded" by Gojira convey a sense of desperation and isolation. The opening line, "A growing sickness in the heart," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes a feeling of being out of control and consumed by the noise inside their own head. The line "The cure is somewhere in the silence" suggests that the singer needs peace and quiet to find a way to deal with their internal struggles, but they are unable to find it.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repeated refrain of "Don't lock the door on me / You'd kill me, face down, dead." This line is open to interpretation, but it seems to suggest that the singer is feeling trapped and desperate, and fears being completely shut out from others.
The final lines, "Leave the moment alone / Leave the moment alone," offer a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the singer may be able to find a way out of their struggles by focusing on the present moment and not dwelling too much on their past or future.
Overall, "Stranded" is a poignant exploration of mental health struggles and the search for inner peace.

Lyrics... a growing sickness in the heart
Defective, lack of control
The cure is somewhere in the silence
But I'm crushed by the noise inside
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of me falls for you
Another day in the dark
No, no
Stranded in the night
Stranded in the cold
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me, face down, dead
Another day in the dark
Don't lock the door on me
You'd kill me, face down, dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me, face down, dead
Another day in the dark
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone
Leave the moment alone

The lyrics as I heard them. I love you guys!
A growing sickness in my heart
To sick to block out the truth
The cure is somewhere in the silence
but I'm crushed by the noise inside
Don't lock the door on me
You kill me face down dead
Another part of me, falls for you
Another day in the dark
NO!!! NO!!!
Stranded in the night
Stranded in the cold
Don't lock the door on me
You kill me face down dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me face down dead
Another day in the dark
Don't lock the door on me
You kill me face down dead
Another part of you gone to waste
Please hear me out
You kill me face down dead
Another day in the dark
Leave the moment alone (x several times)
Hopefully this is not too far from the real lyrics. :) <3
