Indestructible On this rock I lie But I'm alive for good And I just free myself now From all what was wrong Break the unbreakable All the stars Fearlessly bright They call me out there Order me to face the wind My structure's alive, My body's on the way Don't bow down Before the walls Of fear and madness They try to counter me And strike me down To the ground again Inexhaustible The strength of fire Is running through me Spike like beam of light What mortal could ever Break this force Unconstrained I see at last My backbone straighten Thy serpent made of bones Finally rise up From the ground awaken Beat your feet On the ground now, go!

when he says "Spike like beam of light" I always hear it as "Spine like beam of light", which I think sounds cooler.

[@GnosticHermes]

@@demodemascus8164 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he IS saying spine-like beam of light, it's a reference to the Kundalini serpent. They've mentioned it in other songs too.

I love how contrary to a lot of metal bands, Gojira’s breakdowns are the most melodic part of the song

[@zephyrmusic_]

Not really true, take Flying Whales it's the interludes, Ocean Planet it's the verses

1:22 this is the heaviest I ever heard Gojira so far. The dark and gloomy melody adds up to that brutality. I get chills everytime

[@Amoeba_Podre]

Their earlier stuff is heavy as well. Listen to lizard skin and you'll see

[@Wind-nj5xz]

Sounds like a black metal riff. Edit: I thought you meant 1:41 for some reason but i suppose that too.

[@georgiykireev9678]

The bass counterpoint adds a lot to it imo

Gojira should be the litmus test for seeing if someone likes heavy music. If you hear this shit and think anything along the lines of, "fuck yeah", then congratulations, you like metal at its finest. From there, a whole world of music awaits you.

[@WesllyOni]

I still can't believe I'll be lucky enough to listen to this live today, I'm about to lose my mind with anticipation!
