Gojira - Vacuity [TRIBUTE VIDEO] LYRICS AND MEANING

Gojira
Vacuity
The Way of All Flesh
2008

Vocalist Joseph Duplantier recently spoke to METAL HAMMER(UK) about the theme of the song :
"Vacuity. Absence of matter, emptiness, but full of light. Ultimate presence beyond the notions of our world. Vacuity is the source and not just 'nothingness.' We live in a world that goes faster every day and it seems there's a lack of time for each one of us.

This song is about taking the time and being closer to the heart.


Lyrics

The sickness of this world is destroying all the dreams
The fools are kings, tearing apart the soul
The race for complication communicate reaction
The lack of heart of men, I grow distant from the core

Borrow this body for a lifetime, earthly material
My soul unraveled out of mental
The shell returns to dust

I focus on the present concentrate on what I find
Accelerate the vision high beyond the curse of time
Bring light to my attention, the walls of vacuum fall
This force increases and tells me where to go

Follow, I enter my dimension, awakened heart for life
Enforce my senses, I'm understanding,
I find the will to live straight

I feel the change I see the vicious circle
Finally turned into a virtuous one
Having the whole world in my hands, filled
Timelessness

Out of the frame I feel so vast I'm all around myself
Imaginative interaction
But I keep struggling inside to hold this always
Forever there

Is it the fear to fall in space that keeps us from understanding
The only way to find the power is to look inside
Increase your fall on purpose and let this river flow
Now you hold this secret appeared out of the vacuum of space

Remain in what you are, the center of your life
You made it to this point no one can tell you how
You crawled and bled all the way but you were the only one
That was tearing tour soul apart, you finally find yourself

gojira's lyrics often focus on spirituality, as in this song. spirituality is a completely different thing than religion.

The meaning is subjective, but to me it's about 2 things. The first part is about how we mistreat our world and the second part is about how other things may be involved in our problems or how we feel, but in the end it's us doing it to ourselves... tearing our souls apart. I've battled with depression most of my life and this song has helped me think my way out of it. Maybe part of my cynicism is based on the first part of the song and influences my personality, but in the end it's all my fault
