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). Cornillon left the band in 2001 and Jean-Michel Labadie became their bass player. Genres that they have been associated with over their career include death metal, progressive metal, thrash metal and groove metal.

The Cell
Gojira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not alone, you're not the only one
Overcrowded in your brain
You'll find a way out or you will fall
Get me out of here
I've been lost in the dark
Get me out of here
No control over anything
I'm dying to learn, I'm dying to forget
Overcrowded in my mind
I have to let it go now
Get me out of here
I've been lost in the dark
Get me out of here
Now
Overcrowded in our minds
We'll find a way out, right now
Now
Now
Now
The lyrics of "The Cell" by Gojira describe the feeling of being trapped within oneself, specifically in one's mind, and the struggle to break free. The opening lines suggest that evil has been sanctified, which may be a reference to harmful thoughts or habits that have been ingrained and normalized within oneself. The following lines offer solace in the sense that the person is not alone in this struggle, and that others may be going through similar experiences. However, the second verse shows that the singer feels like they have "no control over anything," and are "overcrowded in [their] mind." The repetition of the line "get me out of here" emphasizes the urgency and desperation to break free from this mental prison.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be released from this mental state, to no longer be lost or locked inside oneself. The repetition of the phrase "now" at the end of the song suggests that the singer is ready to take action and find a way out of this mental cell.
Overall, "The Cell" conveys a powerful message about the importance of taking care of one's mental health and not being afraid to seek help if needed. The lyrics touch on the common struggle of feeling trapped within oneself, and the need to find a way out before it's too late.

Greek translation for anyone curious
Όλο αυτό το κακό,καθαγιασμένο
Δεν είσαι μόνος,Δεν είσαι ο μοναδικός
Υπερπληρότητα μέσα στον εγκαιφαλό σου
θα βρεις ένα δρόμο έξω ή θα πέσεις!
Βγάλε με από εδώ!
Έχω χαθεί μέσα στο σκοτάδι!
Βγάλε με από εδώ!
Πρέπει να το αφήσω τώρα!
Έλεγχος για τίποτα
Πεθαίνω για να μάθω,Πεθαίνω για να ξεχάσω
Υπερπληρότητα μέσα στον εγκαιφαλό μου
Πρέπει να τα αφήσω να φύγουν τώρα
Βγάλε με από εδώ!
Έχω χαθεί μέσα στο σκοτάδι!
Βγάλε με από εδώ!
Τώρα!
Υπερπληρότητα μέσα στον εγκαιφαλό μας,
Θα βρούμε μία έξοδο τώρα

Meshuggah is nuts and all but a lot of their songs don't sound very good. They might be crazy technical shit but they just don't sound good to me at least. It's one thing to be crazy, innovative and technical with your music but it's another to do all that AND make it sound good... I think Gojira does a better job than Meshuggah on sounding better but that's just me.
