Lyrics:
tell me what you see
in the after life
par-delà le ciel
par-delà le soleil
in all there is to learn
the sun is on our side
and though you’re on the run
you will survive
expanded to the state of light
the deepest corners of the world
gliding through the lowlands
and swimming all the oceans
walking through the silence
already made it through the night
there will be a new day
whenever the sun rises
you’re invisible, you’re in everything
tell me what you see
when you’re everywhere
tell me now
while you drift away
from all the plagues of this world
you’re put out of misery, giant monster
you won’t have to face it again
every step of the way gets you higher
all the voices trapped underneath the ground
let them all go in the sky
find the power lost underneath the ground
let it all blow in the sky
all the voices trapped in my head
let them all scream in the night
find the power lost underneath the ground
let it all blow in the sky

[@patrickschuerr4723]

Im 50 and been a metal head since I first heard Sabbath back in da 70's. I got my kids into the classics, and my kids get me into da newer stuff like Gojira, Mastodon, Messsugah, and Dillinger. I love them for it, but thats what family's do for each other. And my kids and I will rock out to Mastodon, Rush, Black Daliah, nwobhm bands, Death, Gojira, Neurosis, Electric Wizard, and what ever else.

It's awesome to see how they took their grieves about this tragic loss and made something very positive out of it. These two guys are amazing. Joe once said he had hard times thinking about singing some of the magma songs because of these personal things but when he does it's like Katharsis. You have to get it out and afterwards you kinda feel uplifted - and so it is, listening to this Music 😉

[@alistairclifton1286]

"Tell me what you see In the afterlife " The mother of Goijira's Joe and Mario Duplantier mother passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the direction that Gojira take on the album and this song finds Joe Duplantier talking to his late mom directly. "We were so inspired by how incredibly brave she was before she passed, she understood that there was no hope left and she embraced it. She gave us what she had to give, she took care of her material things, her bank accounts, her rent, all those details, in an attempt to detach herself from all worldly possessions. It was a lesson, I had an example from my Mum on how to leave this world with grace and I'll have that forever, it's a gift that she gave to me and my brother and my sister. We have that in us and it's an incredible gift; I hope my own death will be as peaceful and beautiful as hers … we shall see." The song's music video was directed by Alain Duplantier, the cousin of Joe and Mario Duplantier. It includes shots inside an empty house. Joe Duplantier explained: "One of the 'characters' featured in this film is 'Gayeres,' the family house where Mario and I grew up. We jammed to our first songs, started Gojira, and recorded most of our albums there."

Mario is a unique drummer he has to be one of the best in the world, out of all genres.

The song is amazing and the story about it is both sad and powerful. It is dedicated to Patricia Duplantier, Mario and Joe's mom. She passed away in 2015 and Joe wrote this song in her memory. The house was their and the fire has been a request from Patricia as a "funeral celebration", gathering friends and family. Mario Duplantier made an interview explaining it in a drum magazine (only in french sorry). Thank you Gojira for this song, I hope it helped you to recover.

The DuPlantier's lost their mom over the past year----while working on Magma. As may or may not have been commented previously this video is about this loss. I saw this for the first time this morning on my way to work. I have been a Gojira freak since 2011 and one of the many things they live is integrity to one's emotional as well as physical lives. Emotional honesty is where I'm at now in my mid-40s. Its a necessity especially if you see your loved ones dying around you way too early. So, I am watching this on my device and listening on my car stereo. My car is warmed up, I just cant take my eyes off the cinematography. It is stellar. I realized at 2:50 I am caving internally. I have not cried since long before my MY mom died 3 years ago. I haven't dealt with it yet. I had to bury her and be the man so no emotions. Dad too is dead. So, at 4:00 I see the look on Joe's face and I recognize it as I have seen it on me many times. The water works started and I had no control. Snot bubbles, weird high pitched moans from god knows where in my gut. It started to come out and I was unable to worry about how I looked to the neighbor getting in her car, the kids walking by. My own sense of what is acceptable. I let go. Gojira has this affect. To all of you who fear losing your Metal flavor of the week, grow up and let their music has its way with you. These guys are for real.

[@MrTBONESTEAK]

So true! That's why I watch the video so often. The entire song is already fairly intense, but just seeing his face when he is screaming into the camera adds so much to it. That's him expressing the overwhelming sadness and that deeply rooted feeling in your gut when you are confronted with things that beat you down. Thanks for sharing! It's great to read others sharing my love for this music. It's something I can't seem to share with anyone in my circle of friends or family. The prejudice against this type of music is still miles high where I live and hardly anyone is prepared to meet it with open eyes and an open mind. Take care!

These guys are so classy compared to pretty much every other metal band; they aren't covered in terrible tattoos, they don't wear embarrassing death metal shirts to try and earn scene cred, and they don't incorporate the latest trends into their music...they just keep evolving a sound that they pioneered themselves. It makes me happy to think the Duplantier brothers still have each other when going through one of the worst losses a family can suffer, and that they can turn that into incredible music to share with the world. Amazing cinematography and overall just a beautiful video.

[@psycold]

That's why I said they aren't covered in 'terrible' tattoos. I think some tattoos can have meaning and look pretty good, but overall they have become a fad and it's just my opinion but most of the time they just end up making people look worse.

@@risiathelemon Wouldn't mind spending a week there, I bet the smell of the air alone would be relaxing.

[@massivecunt8263]

@@Gravityys As someone whose part of the family are sailors I have been in that part of France quite a few times. And I can say that even if the photography/lighting here make it look more beautiful than it is, it's still close to how it really looks. The sunsets are really that beautiful and there are very dense forests with the Pyrénées mountains not too far. The air is really pure and it's the best place to bring your friends or children. These guys must have had a very happy childhood.

[@DirkVerbeurenDrummer]

Amazing, just amazing guys... The perfect video for this deeply emotional song. Thank you.

"Tell me what you see / when you're everywhere" is amazing.

i didn't expect this a bit 'softish' Gojira album to be my favourite release of this very productive year for metal. Very good album, masterpiece song.

Does anything such as goosebumps attack exist that can cause death?! haha, seriously I don't know how much more goosebumps my body can handle every time I watch of listen to this amazing song !!! watched the video 10 times already!

This should be nominated for music video of the year. Absolutely beautiful. The cinematography and music is emotional and atmospheric and stunning.

I want a video clip for "Magma" with just lava puring down from a volcano. Also the riff that starts at 4:04 is blow minding.

Blow Minding. XD lol

[@simonlaestander3024]

I love that riff, wish there were more riffs like it; it's almost like they contain themselves throughout the record only to give away these magnificent riffs in both this song and in Magma.

It's great cause it's building anticipation towards that riff. And that makes it more powerfull.

Gojira is as good as they've ever been. This album is a triumph.

I'm late to the Gojira party, been a fan for months verses year but man, I'm catching up fast. One of the best bands around right now. My new mission is to see them live, somewhere, sometime.

[@guillaumeravereau8851]

Same for me bro. I'm from France 🇨🇵, pretty near of where they're from and I didn't know them, it sounds crazy as I listen metal ... 🤦🏻‍♂️. But I'm catched now. Fortitude is a great album, but Magma is a masterpiece💎. I never felt that much emotional with a metal album before Magma. And I'm lucky enough to see them live in February 2022 in Bordeaux. Hope you will too. Greetings from France 😀

[@stevesack284]

@@guillaumeravereau8851 Magma is now on my top 10 favorite albums of all time. The feelings I get from that album begin the second the first song begins. It's an amazing listen.

Wonder how they manage to write such simple, but powerful song structures? These guys are geniuses....I wish I had a quarter of their skills.

[@biocountry4519]

The song being about the death of their mother, the video being directed by their cousin and shot on location of their childhood home. I dont think you'll ever find a more personal and heartfelt music video..ever. Beautiful.

[@whydontyouremember]

I like to think the song is their way of sending a heartfelt goodbye across the universe to their mother's spirit.

[@biocountry4519]

Lyndon Hamer I think thats a very eloquent way of looking at it.

[@bbgMickey]

If you notice carefully, None of them play an actual instrument in this video

[@Syphon_Drummer]

It's awesome and artistic that they are all pretending like children, whilst the song and video is very dark and serious. Great contrast. Mario air drumming is awesome haha

yep its the countryside , on the region of Bayonne ; i guess you buy the land , or they inherited it from forebears

R.I.P. Patricia Rosa. We all love you. You and your husband did an amazing job raising these 2 brothers: a very melodic and caring vocalist, and a kickass yet beautifully amazing drummer who are both now at the top of the European metal scene making you proud in heaven.

[@alemutasa6189]

This song is so personal, yet so relatable. I personally lost my granfather to cancer, my first and only true mentor, but I suppose most of us experienced cancer and the loss of a close one due to it. The lyrics of this song apply perfectly to all of us. It's a shame they probably never play it live

[@cooperknutson3616]

I come back to this song often because no matter what you're going through in life, this song will be there to justify and carry you through what you're feeling. Love this band so much!

[@memetantance3142]

C'est juste une putain de chanson hommage à leur Maman (Joe et Mario). Elle est parfaite !!

[@memetantance3142]

I can translate, sorry. 😁 It's a fucking hommage to their Mother who died a few years ago.

[@marrydruli]

It's so sad, because it's about their mum who passed away :( Beautiful tribute.

[@Fuzzysnuggleduck]

As an agnostic, and someone who lost my mother, much before our time; I appreciate this. As much Gojira music. I hold artefacts made by humans hands hundreds or even thousands of years before I was born and I wonder about all this. Not spiritual or purely intellectual, but the human experience of everyone that traverses life. Human relationships are important even though they are fleeting.

[@liamblack8786]

Makes me extremely grateful to still have my parents around. Good music puts your life into perspective, and Gojira does a wonderful job at that. Love this band so much

Man, this is exactly my feeling at that time. I see my parents on Sunday for my 46 birthday and I feel lucky for this. ❤️

[@booblebombeledino5916]

love the bass at 4:08 ! Jean-Michel should do more of those in their futur songs!

[@_claymore]

funny thing is, the bass doesn't do anything particular special. he follows the guitars basically. it is just the tone of the bass and the way they mixed it, which makes it sound so awesome. but i agree, more of this! :D

[@yessir6427]

try Metallica

[@elijahbrown4365]

@_ claymore, That seems to be what give their sound the distinct giant-lizard-bark sound. Kind of crazy..

[@PlayToDie]

Can't wait to hear this one live

[@hrghrurgrg9134]

It's unlikely that we will see this live. It's too slow for a Gojira concert. We still haven't even seen "Born In Winter" played live which is very similar to this song, starts slow and mellow then goes straight into heavy. I'd like to see this maybe as the last song on the set, to calm everyone down but I doubt it

[@MrH4zuki]

I saw them 3 days agos (In France), and unfortunately they didn't play it. The last song of the set was Shooting Star

[@maxgisquetofficial]

I saw them last tuesday,they don't play this song but from Magma they play Stranded,Silvera,Only Pain and The shooting stars ;)

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

many popular gojira songs with music videos are rarely played and nearly no live performance is avalaible on youtube : to sirius , all the tears , born in winter ; i still hope ill see low lands on a show , definitly not fitting for a 50 minutes festival performance but in a venue it would be perfect

[@hrghrurgrg9134]

Soufiane Artwood 'To Sirius' was actually played a lot before 2012, I don't know why they stopped playing it though

[@mpk33]

When I dissociate, this song takes me deep into darkened forests during blue hour where I connect with all the sentient beings past & present. They welcome me and comfort me, just like this song does. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gojira. This album is something incredibly special.

[@lalandemusic]

Great progression all along. This video is the perfect awakening 🖤

[@MaskedRiderChris]

This is arguably my favorite Gojira song, right here. What I love the most is the amount of tension building throughout the first half of the song that is taken to just the right level, then the gears shift at the halfway point, set it up...and then the BOMB DROPS and that tension is released and how. I *love* that! The depth and emotional resonance in this one is profound and the more you listen, the more you notice the layers in the vocals, with the well placed screams here and there underlining key parts of the lyrics. This makes me think of my late grandmother, who was the mother I never had in a variety of ways, and how I felt when she passed in 1992, and how I miss her to this day. Great work, Messrs., great work!

[@SuperAzza14]

Great analysis. It's definitely top 3 Gojira songs for me.

[@VampOfNightmare]

Few months ago while I was listening to this song and watching the video I started to cry so hard cause It really touched my nerves, I would never imagine at that time that I would lose a beloved one.
