Gojira - Only Pain Lyrics






Since day one you try your best
To get what you need the most
The solution is you, becoming a god

Only pain, all in vain

The day you get to the point
All illusions are lost
The problem is you, becoming so cold

Just wanted to be good
Just wanted to be gold
Just wanted to be god
Just wanted to be

Only pain, all in vain

Take all, fear none
Wake up, go strong

I'm the lamb who was slain
It's just another offering
I reclaim the might and power
Cast away long before dawn
In a cage left to rot
Creature fierce, tamed, is dying
Lost the feel for all I've loved
It's too strong, I'm going down

  1. p.... g....

    Awesome

  2. Y.... C....

    Does anyone have backing tracks for this song without the original drums?

  3. S.... M....

    Seulement bread

  4. E.... D....

    I feel like this amazing beautiful record doesn't get the acclaim it deserves...maybe people will realize it's genuis later on?...that's my prediction...

  5. S.... M....

    Go watch the 2018 Live in Pol'and Rock version of this...wow

  6. A.... K....

    just bought the album, c'est magnifique messieurs! \m/

    Magma, excelente álbum

    D.... T....

    The shooting star también es buenísima

  9. J.... S....

    Who's going to aftershock 2019?

    J.... S....

    I'd kill to go to that.

    J.... S....

    @Mason P. I'm looking forward to it

  10. A.... B....

    This song makes me sad.

  11. F.... D....

    All in vaaaaaiiiinnnn!!!!!!

  12. b.... ....

    In my opinion, Magma, is Gojira’s weakest work, but still a damn good listen, thanks to bangers like this, and The Cell

  13. A.... O....

    My fav song in whole album has the best chorus in my opinion

  14. T.... L....

    Every moment of my existence is pain. Physical and mental, but it’s only pain. I used to want nothing more than to give it all up but music like this keeps me going because it’s only pain.

  15. J.... P....

    I just recently came across this band and OMG I freaking love this shit! Only pain is my freaking alarm clock!

  16. c.... ....

    Whenever my head's in danger of collapsing, this album always helps keep it afloat.

  17. J.... B....

    Gojira is so deep...they put so much emotion, strength, power into their music along with killer songwriting....it's no wonder they pull tears from me...love these guys

  18. s.... ....

    Yup. I wish I had this back in the late 90s, high school (99'er)

    Chasing those damn redheads.

    OOOOOONLY PAAAAAAIN!!!

    AAAAAALL IN VAAAAAAIN!!

  19. A.... D....

    Only Pain

    Since day one you try your best
    To get what you need the most
    The solution is you
    Becoming a god

    Only pain
    All in vain

    The day you get to the point
    All illusions are lost
    The problem is you
    Becoming so cold
    Just wanted to be good
    Just wanted to be gold
    Just wanted to be god
    Just wanted to be

    Only pain
    All in vain

    Take all
    Fear none
    Wake up
    Go strong
    Only pain

    I'm the lamb who was slain
    It's just another offering
    I reclaim the might and power
    Cast away long before dawn
    In a cage left to rot
    Creature fierce
    Tamed
    Is dying
    Lost the feel for all I've loved
    It's too strong
    I'm going down

    Down
    Down
    Down
    Down

  20. T.... C....

    Is there any reason to listen to other metal bands than gojira. I can't do it. Pantera only exception

  21. A.... S....

    holy hell YES! These riffs hit you hard, rip you apart, spit you out, and leave you crawling back begging for more!!!!

  22. M.... D....

    I'm the lamb who was slain(for the otherside)
    It's just another offering


    Does the Name dark Messiah makes more sense now! The dark side never had a savior! Just condemnation, rescue trough fight. Expressed in another way this is no redemption for them. The Black Sheep is the Dark Messiah. Who will be cast away, separated in the end. He is the creature on earth who feels the killing the most. A tough weight! For all the failure of this old World! It was a chance to live. But it was a bloody mess. A red dead redemption.

  23. P.... D....

    i really can't get the hate on this album. It's different but still punches you with emotions. Not that hard like the rest but it's not bad at all.

  24. J.... D....

    this of 1985 or 1986. 13 year old aeni` (-ant.) Marcianou Vocal lyric. Dave Navarro Guitar 15 years old. Eric Avery 14 years old Bass. 16 years old, Stephen Perkins. Playlist : Addiction ; Muse

  25. R.... K....

    3:07 beauty

  26. m.... s....

    Am I the only one who heard "since they want you try opeth" 0:40

  27. S.... U....

    Feeling kind of a slight KoRn vibe

  28. w.... w....

    Bask in my pain. I dont want to be healed!

  29. H.... F....

    I love this song so much why did I skip over it in the past? I'm continually repeating to listen this song . It is by far the best song off this album and there's a few hidden gems in this album .

  30. K.... ....

    In 2011 a french exchange Student showed my "Backbone" by Gojira and I can hardly cerish just how much strength your music has given me through all struggles in life since then.

  31. a.... o....

    Took a while to get used to but im glad i did

  32. T.... H....

    Drun drunn durududrun durudu durudu durudu durudu meeeooow......

  33. H.... P....

    *_"Warning! Turning your volume to this level for prolonged periods can cause hearing and hardware damage!"_*

    Me: Challenge accepted. *_turns on this_*
    Also, I feel like the guitar itself is saying "RAPE!" every time the guitar squeals in my ears. Oh well. It's _only pain_ (and you can't rape the willing).

  34. J.... P....

    That bass tone is like an alien juggernaut ripping me in half

  35. E.... S....

    I don’t hear stranded in this tbh

    E.... S....

    lieutenant T H I C C N E S S just the beginning in my opinion

  36. S.... M....

    0:10 they are so good, they rip off they’re own songs (stranded in this case)

  37. J.... B....

    my dog farted hearing Gojira...its a yes from fuzzy

  38. 1.... A....

    2:17 Jesus is that You ?

  39. J.... B....

    That riff!

    J.... B....

    The solution is you... becoming the cure

  40. W.... ....

    2:59 Goosebumps and tears

  41. s.... 6....

    [Verse 1]
    Since day one you try your best
    To get what you need the most
    The solution is you
    Becoming a god

    [Chorus]
    Only pain, all in vain

    [Verse 2]
    The day you get to the point
    All illusions are lost
    The problem is you
    Becoming so cold
    Just wanted to be good
    Just wanted to be gold
    Just wanted to be god
    Just wanted to be

    [Chorus]
    Only pain, all in vain

    [Bridge]
    Take all, fear none
    Wake up, go strong
    Only pain

    [Verse 3]
    I'm the lamb who was slain
    It's just another offering
    I reclaim the might and power
    Cast away long before dawn
    In a cage left to rot
    Creature fierce, tamed, is dying
    Lost the feel for all I've loved
    It's too strong, I'm going down

    [Outro]
    Down, down, down, down

  42. J.... S....

    I was totally hoping to break my neck on a sick breakdown at 3:08 but sadly was kind of disappointed and I love Gojira

    J.... S....

    This song is a blast live. They opened with this at tuska, on june 30th

  43. V.... ....

    Since day one you try your best
    To get what you need the most
    The solution is you, becoming a god
    Only pain, all in vain
    The day you get to the point
    All illusions are lost
    The problem is you, becoming so cold
    Just wanted to be good
    Just wanted to be gold
    Just wanted to be god
    Just wanted to be
    Only pain, all in vain
    Take all, fear none
    Wake up, go strong
    I'm the lamb who was slain
    It's just another offering
    I reclaim the might and power
    Cast away long before dawn
    In a cage left to rot
    Creature fierce, tamed, is dying
    Lost the feel for all I've loved
    It's too strong, I'm going down

  44. D.... ....

    The moment Mario's drums open this track, you just know that they're going to fuck shit up!

  45. s.... ....

    It's like chill, but metal at the same time. Morning metal...

  46. B.... l....

    Better song for me <3

  47. L.... W....

    although the song is pretty mediocre, I have no idea why it mesmerises me so much that I can't stop listening to it

    L.... W....

    I honestly cant see anything mediocre about this song, and im familiar with most metal bands out there. Maybe you could say it's a mediocre gojira style, but that's as far as it could go.

    L.... W....

    Stefan Raskovic well, it's just my opinion anyways, although I can agree with your point as well

  48. r.... c....

    boring shit

  49. x.... ....

    😢🖤

  50. R.... A....

    Since day one you try your best
    To get what you need the most
    The solution is you, becoming a god

    Only pain, all in vain

    The day you get to the point
    All illusions are lost
    The problem is you, becoming so cold

    Just wanted to be good
    Just wanted to be gold
    Just wanted to be god
    Just wanted to be...

    Only pain, all in vain

    Take all, fear none
    Wake up, go strong

    I'm the lamb who was slain
    It's just another offering
    I reclaim the might and power
    Cast away long before dawn
    In a cage left to rot
    Creature fierce, tamed, is dying
    Lost the feel for all I've loved
    It's too strong, I'm going down

  51. A.... P....

  69. F.... ....

    It's too strong I'm going down

    R.... P....

    Sacrifice

  85. L.... U....

    with a better chorus this could jave been my favorite song of the album but I still love it

  86. M.... ....

    Stranded part 2

    M.... ....

    Wow the whole album sounds similiar who woulda guessed

    M.... ....

    I'm going to kys myself.

    M.... ....

    With your logic whole album is Terra Incognita part 6.

  87. J.... ....

    Wtf not many songs have me headbanging and the very start of the song haha

    J.... ....

    This whole album does that to me

  88. j.... n....

  89. k.... ....

    Totally called this one, I said "You know what will be a good not-obvious song to open up their concert with" and then............

    k.... ....

    yoo i got destroyed in the pit spawned from this song

  90. M.... G....

    Last 50 seconds... Beyond description

    M.... G....

    Mustafa Gökcan you're goddamn right

  91. k.... ....

    divine sound

  92. s.... m....

    james hetfield : yeaaaahhhhhh

  93. S.... S....

    GET IN THE GOJIRA SONG SHINJI!!!!

  94. D.... P....

    Discovered this band like 3 months ago. Now it's one of my favorites and at the top of my playlist!

    D.... P....

    Drake Parker Gojira tends to have that effect on people 🤘🏽

  95. S.... ....

    I absolutely love that distant scream at 1:50. Just a nice detail, as I love that type of screams

    S.... ....

    I like that too, but I was originally speaking about the distant scream at 1:50

    S.... ....

    @Silenc9 Yeah I know, I just felt like poiting something else out because that was also awesome :P But yep, the distant scream is awesome!

    S.... ....

    oh okay. well i agree with you

    S.... ....

    I didnt notice that untill now, now i have to listen to it to the end each time, you've ruined my pleasure thank you

  96. D.... B....

    Thanks gojira for the opening segment. Now i can show my non-musician friends pre-production in studio drums as comparing to post-production drums in modern metal.

  97. L.... F....

    aguante wachim

  98. A.... D....

    Is this experimental progressive Nu-Metal?

    A.... D....

    Sasha Chlypowko it's Gojira.

    A.... D....

    Old Gojira = Industrial Tech Death, New Gojira = Progressive Death Metal

    A.... D....

    Matt Rose wrong: old Gojira: Prog-Death
    New Gojira: Prog/Groove

    A.... D....

    if you want to taste djent try meshuggah or animal as leader then you'll know what djent is... by the way gojira is groove / death metal and some songs are prog + groove like art of dying etc...

    A.... D....

    this era of Gojira is definitively Prog/Groove.
    Early Gojira (up to TWoAF) was tech/prog death

  99. J.... Q....

    Gojira is my religion ❤️

    J.... Q....

    ciwan qasso that's too much 😑

  100. C.... ....

    Slowly becoming one of my favs from Magma.

    C.... ....

    Yeah same

    C.... ....

    I used to dislike it because of the main riff sounding like a squished combination of Stranded and Silvera. But it grew on me too.
