Stranded
Gojira (Rock) 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 song "Stranded" by Gojira tackles the topic of mental illness and the struggle to control one's own mind. The first verse talks about a "growing sickness in the heart" and a "distinctive lack of control." The singer is seeking a cure for the noise inside his head, but the noise is overwhelming and crushing. The chorus repeats the line "don't lock the door on me, you'd kill me, face down, dead" which could be interpreted as pleading to not be pushed away or left alone with one's own thoughts.
As the song progresses, the chorus repeats and adds to the imagery of being stranded in the night and in the cold. The repetition of the phrase "another day in the dark" emphasizes the feeling of being lost and alone. The plea to "hear me out" in the bridge highlights the need for communication and understanding when dealing with mental health issues. The song ends with the repeated line "leave the moment alone" which could be an attempt to let go of the noise and chaos inside and find peace in the present moment.
Overall, "Stranded" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the difficulties surrounding mental health issues and the urgent need for empathy and support.

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
