Thoughts on Artists, Gojira - Sight To Behold (Lyrics)

Reflecting ourselves in the blood of all the beings we slay
Misunderstand each other, out of control we remain
There is a mystery, we're facing a sight to behold
This is what we make of the world, we throw everything away

The way we all behave is not understandable
It is so sad to see the wealth of our planet fade away
We all behave like children, taking off the head of our teddy bear
to see what's inside, taking, not giving back
We drain the oceans and suck all the blood out of the soil
We spend the time we have left fighting and killing each other
Lust for comfort, entertainment becomes an obsession
And there is so much time to kill

The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm walking standing on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated
I have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point
What's worth destroying all the worlds
Try not to get it anymore

You burn yourself, set fire for good
We die eyes closed, dig our own grave now
Tossed in the blaze naked on the flame
Lost with no pride, drowned in the filth
The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads
and the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under

The way I see things is so simple
The fact I'm living dying on this land
Exhausted is the realm of nature, friends are dying
The living creatures on our side
The way I see myself so confused so sophisticated
Don't have to stay away from me
But I still don't get the point
What's worth destroying all the worlds

Try not to get it anymore [4x]


This band Gojira have a tendancy to sing about real things and problems rather than drugs or sex.
The speak about our planet and about us as a destructive race, thats what I like about this band they are more "real" because they're songs are "real".

This song in particular would be a great one to use to resemble my first idea a lot of the lyrics would fit in with some of my mental images. Here are some examples of the imagery I get from the lyrics.

"We drain the oceans and suck all the blood out of the soil
We spend the time we have left fighting and killing each other"

These lyrics project the image of war into my head, I know it seems very obvious but that is how I see it. Maybe a tank rolling across the battefeild to resemble the oil and quick shots of shooting from soldiers.

"The giant snake is coming down to eat our heads
and the flood will kill us, Mantus is rising from under"

This gives me an image of a nuclear warhead being launched in the air and coming down onto the armies, creating the finale finish to the song with a mushroom cloud.
