Lay down fall away Lie awake Just cannot move My arms and legs I'm paralyzed Don't recall how to free Myself from this In the heart of the dark My face contorted Don't know how to reach the light But I feel so bad Like a freak in a cage Open the door Enter your heart You go... So far..... Golden unworldly silence Space flight at speed of light I cross the clouds and colors The black hole is calling me I slide on the horizon On the frontier not to cross Black dwarf Time's gone distorted In the heart of the dark A whirl of light Enter in The realm of nothingness I feel the cold, my eyes are shut My fear is slowly dying Light years from here Are my thoughts and cages I can hear their moan But now a long deep breath Is calling Overtaking time And now understanding space I feel united I do cross light Feel the living Here in the center Stands the light of love That never can be touched From greater silence Shall return

I don’t kno why I’ve never really looked at the lyrics to this one, though a favorite for years. For most of my adult life I have suffered from constant sleep paralysis. It’s often terrifying for me and has affected my quality of life drastically and in many ways. Clearly the meaning of the song could be “subjective” and interpreted a variety of ways, however these lyrics just hit a nerve in me.

Everytime I read all these comments, it really cracks Me up!!!

How did I not hear this band before. My soul is gone idk where it is

BP Genius Yes, people do call this music. What you are seeing is a collection of very talented and dedicated musicians performing at near perfection. Your only problem is you have a very narrow perception of what music is. Most probably limited by the way you live your life and the beliefs you choose to subscribe to. I am a musician and I listen to a wide variety of music ranging from classical to Leonard Cohen and Patrick Watson to Metal and all of its sub genres. I am drawn to talent and Gojira are incredibly talented. This music does not encourage violence, in fact, Gojira regularly sing about global warming and the negative affects we as a human race are having on the world. Furthermore, violence is linked directly to mental health, social and family environments and greed and poverty. In a lot of places music is the only escape for hurting people. If you want to stop a type of "music" then campaign against pop music artists like Miley Cyrus. She is selling sex to preteens and encouraging mindless, untalented music. Finally, try to understand this: It is good when you don't like something. It is bad when you feel you have to write nasty, uneducated comments on a video of something you don't like...it's kind of childish. It's good you don't like something because it means you have a brain and it defines you as an individual. You are thinking which is a valuable asset these days, now think a bit harder and realize that if something you didn't like didn't exist then you wouldn't like what you liked because there would be no definition of LIKE. We would all be clones, life would be boring. Now in future please think and be considerate before you post something negative, small minded and unintelligent. Good day, sir
