Gojira - Oroborus Lyrics
Serpent of light, movement of the soul
Crawling stately along the spine
Mighty phoenix, from the ashes arises
Firebird cycle, life, regenerate the cell
Resurrection from the flame, ageless process
Quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect
Self-consuming womb, ever-present, meet no end
It seems like I always knew this
Since I'm a child I can feel it
My inner light everlasting
Revolving within a circle
Extended wings I'm flying
The curve of space I'm leaving
Death is just an illusion
Oroborus symbol of eternal life
Dig a tunnel through light, through ignorant walls
I'm counting the days but I'm dying
Grow up with impatience I'm falling down
On the peaks of radiant mountains
This truth is growing before me
My attention fixed on this silence
Rediscover life while I'm breathing
Designing the shape of material
Frozen icon distant reminder
Mankind has forgotten the gateways
By the mouth of the serpent regenerate

Gojira Oroborus Comments
I get it, Mario is a good drummer, but you guys are hyping him too much.
When I saw Gojira in August they opened with this song
Anyone else feel like meditating on this album or is it just me
No lyrics as mentioned in title wtf
description
The lyrics are perfect. A song about Kundalini and the alchemical wedding and I bet nobody here even understands what they are talking about.
You're ignorant to think no one caught that.
i'm pretty sure it is about the oroborus, the self consuming worm. how it represents the endless cycle of life, which is exactly what this entire album is about.
The breakdown at the end is everything! So damn good. Mario is the shiiiiit
Bad ass
Did you know these guys played this song in a small coffee shop just to play? The people there were like what is this? Then eventually they were all banging their heads and moshing. Lol
wtf that cool
I've had some very hard times with my personal trauma and have felt that nothing can blast through my defences and touch my heart and was thinking breaking up with my girlfriend, but something brought me back to Gojira and I started to listen...
After one hour listening, reading lyrics and all of your comments it made me finally cry, the grief in my heart got its space and I found the connection, back on the track. I want to face the shadows, I don't want to run away anymore. Let the pain come with embrace! Thank you <3
The guitar is bad ass too!
This may be the best song ever made
I truly wish Gojira had a bigger fanbase. Their music is so calming.
Most epic part in all of metal 3:49 to the end.
The song lyrics are about the dormant spiraling snake form like energy that they call the kundalini in the east. The energy is real, you can feel it, once you are ready...
no, it's about the Oroborus.
the symbol of an endless cycle of life, the self consuming worm.
14 X 15+ strank 16 good but Weird asffff
Purple men from the past stay in Pain FoRever reliving regenerating pain forever and ever PURPLE Men from pastttttt who is that whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy life is good live inside my skin for 11years feel everything I F E
1:26 to 1:31 is🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🥁🥁🥁🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾. One of my top metal songs all time. Death is just an illusion. Someone did dmt in this band... lol they seen the other side. Its a crazy/wonder place to visit.
The drummer... Oh god. Shear master. Just perfect.
Gojira makes me wanna tattoo all their lyrics on my body.
Already have "Borrow this body for a lifetime" around my thigh :)
Dave Grohl is hands down the best drummer whether it’s live or recording. His talents shine in this song.
😆😆
Don’t usually listen to any kind of death metal (they’re progressive death metal, no?) but the instrumental aspects of Gojira are mind blowing. Also Joe does have an extremely unique voice, never heard a style quite like his. Awesome band.
If any band is close to "TooL"..........it has to be....The Holy Gojira....
Mighty phoenix from the ashes arises
Gojira is getting me through my shitty work day...thank you, Gojira
SERPENT OF LIGHT, MOVEMENT OF THE SOUL!
Does the Beast STILL have offer to consider open?
1.6 million people knew about this epic jam before I did.
Slacking.
Damn this is good shit
This song was awesome live
isnt it spelled ouroboros?
Poetic license allows them to mispel song titles and also make the song grammar mess up just to make it rhyme .. I think.
Wait I'm not sure hahahaha
it has 3 spellings. Uroborus, Oroborus, Ouroboros.
Sleek and beatiful. I can´t believe these guys are from a small village in Normandy. This gives much hope to any band anywhere.
ἔπος
That intro is fking badass! lml
Everything about this is perfection.
Not sure why or how I did not know about this band before! Seeing them in August and I cant wait!
August! Have fun! I saw them last year in Michigan. Well worth the drive and the money.
Kick ass shit.
Day 1: Wow, this song is...interesting
Day 3: Alright this has some SICK drums
Day 11: LIFE BURNS FIERCE!!!
DAY 88: Send Help. Can't. Stop. Listening.
Day 634: Ears fused with headphones, nipples bleeding, eyes rolled back. "Yeah, there it is, there's the good stuff!"
This is a good song.
Legal ver como o riff com ligatos trás à idéia de círculos como o Oroborus.
It's cool to see how the ligatos of the riff make fell the idea of circles like Oroborus.
This is some bad shit right here. Yes
One of the best outro ever ❤️
If Gojira can get away with naming a song Oroborus, shouldn't Oroborus be allowed to do a song called Gojira?
arriba españa
ive been mainlining gojira and meshuggah with a little bit of pork and profit since 2007 f*ck your mom
Death isn't an illusion. It's definitive. It's the end. Are amputees aware of what happens of their limbs after? It all just fades. It's gone. Argue with me. Make me feel or think differently. I truthfuly want to.
I've been thinking on your comment the last few days. I agree and see what you're saying. The breakdown for me is the aspect of religion. I see the cycle of life and the transformation into something else. My anger and doubt comes from the afterlife as a conscious realm where we are aware. Moving as this song explains is just energy or sustenance for the next life. I want to be aware. I want to live on. Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate it.
"My inner light everlasting". What is the soul? Is it real? Is our conscious able to exist without our body? I don't know, man. I'm asking of you or anyone else what you can't answer. 45. I don't want to die. I believe it's a long way away for me, but there is too much of life and family I love to just be gone.
@FZappaFan1 Nobody wants to die, we all want to appreciate life as much as possible. But you know, the fear off dying is what drove men to reach further. Off our fear of dying, we are trying to make the most we can off life, because we know we are gonna die in the end. Enjoy the present, because we don't know the time we have. This apreciation for life only has meaning because it ends, if it was eternal, we would not make a big deal out of it. Appreciate what you have, man; because you don't know what is gonna happen once we die, but at least you will die without any regret.
Easy. "Death" could either designate the moment when you die, or your "state" after that. And that's the key : "moment" and "after". Fact is, we don't know what is "time". The past is gone, the future does not exist, the present is already past. We don't understand it, from a scientific or philosophic point of view. Is the past really gone, knowing that space and time are closely related ? So, we don't know what is time, past, present or future, thus we can't know what death truly is. And if what we perceive of "time" (or space time) is an illusion of our limited senses, then the same is true for death.
And if you can be only at one place and one time "at once", then, what thing took the place and time you were a second ago ? Will it ever catch you up ?
@loys zimmermann My guess is that we can only learn the truth once we died, because when we crossed that barrier, that illusion to our limited senses, we are gonna be able to see the full picture. When we transcend, when we are out of this limited world, we are gonna reach the truth. That's my point of view.
awesome
Heavy metal isn't my thing, but Gojira is
This is nowhere close to heavy metal. I'm not a fan of heavy metal either but progressive is the shit
@Swaghetta is gojira progressive? They repeat one riff for ages in their songs.
I'd say they're definitely progressive.
the intro to this song will always remind of spiritual healing
Kush burns fierce/Reduced to ashes
This band is like if tool, meshuggah and rage against the machine had a baby
3:48 vishhhh
Makes me think of the Zoldyck family, Hunter x Hunter🤘😠🤘
thats random
The fuck's up with these vocals
2k19 and still feeling it ....
Music to my ears. Thx for the inspiration 😖
The best part of the whole song is when they hit the snare drum 4 times at 2:23. Its so fucking epic
On the peaks of radiant mountains
This truth is growing before me
My attention fixed on the silence
Rediscover life while I'm breathing
Designing the shape of material
Frozen icon distant reminder
Mankind has forgotten the gateways
By the mouth of the serpent regenerate
The riff is just nasty and stays with me
This song is pretty fucking sweet.
I typed in what does oroborus mean and it went to ouroboros. Someone pls explain
it can also be spelled Oroborus and Uroborus.
the best
Orbital design brought me here
Someone needs to make a 10 hour of this intro.
Can’t get enough of Gojira! I’ve seen them live twice, met the band and I’m going to be seeing them again in June. Mario is even going to be sending my sick sister who’s in the hospital a signed pic I believe. Can’t wait
This riff at the beginning is so fucking good!!!
This riffage is so supreme at a time of trauma in my life this gave me more venom
The hammer-on-pull-off-y-ness of it all! ♥
this vocal gives me chills. i dont say about drums and tapping guitar...
the art of dying and oroborus are best!
All of their songs are masterpieces.
Gojira-Orosbu
This band is infinitely under-rated!!! FCK YEA
It's better that way
They're not underrated lmao they're pretty well known. Definitely well deserved though \m/
168 beiber fans said no.
All Gojira Riffs are Sick \m/
what a band! what an album! amazing on every level!
"Pain is a illusion"
"Death is a illusion"
This is one of my all time favorite songs by Gojira❤
Cowbell is FUCKING HEAVY!!!!
This is the future of metal. Well at least it should be.
Always obsessed ❤️
Question: are they in DADFAD?
Thoughts?
@Tazz eyy i can't recall a single time they would play in any lower tuning than DAD before TWOAF
@-Uɴᴅᴇᴀᴅ Cʜᴀɴɴᴇʟ- ur right
Actually it is d standard for many of their songs.
@Slimy_the _horrible_Guitarist DAFDAD IS d standard (or is it DAGDAD?)
They are in DGCFAD
gojra the most gay band ever
that would be Sleeping With Sirens
At the first look I thinked it was Aleister Black Theme :)))
This drummer is truly a master at his craft. It really stands out in this entire album and in their whole discography.
I loooove little girls ✌🏼👍😂
This is Catherine
It's like Pantera and Tool had a baby :D
nonsense
This is like Pantera and Tool grew up.
Ah some good old fashioned, family friendly rockabilly, love this chune
Esa batería me provocó un orgasmo jaja
i hate how people hate on vocals this band is 100..just pay attention and listen...
"by the mouth of the serpent regenerate." love it
Darn this sh*t is good
Those guitars are mean
Yes i like gojira
Best metal song I've ever heard
gloaar woaarrh woaarghh! spinee! gklaa glaoar gloaarrh!! from the ashes arises woaaaagloaar!!
Recent fan here and I must say, how did I ever miss Gojira, they are unique as hell and heavy as fuck. Hypnotizing arrangements, distinct tone, and weird melodies.
This is beyond metal, this metaphysical, spiritual, and just amazing!
