GOJIRA @ L’Elysee Montmartre | Paris, France
Sunday, January 25th, 2009
In strong anticipation of our journey to Paris in February and attending Gojira’s concert there I want to present their latest Video to you:
GOJIRA’s brand new video ‘ALL THE TEARS’ was directed and made by Spanish artist Jossie Malis. Drummer Mario Duplantier comments : ” We first came accross Jossie ‘s work with his astounding animated films : Bend It to Machine (www. benditomachine. com) and we really liked the way he told stories in a very mysterious and unusual manner. His enigmatic animations deal with serious issues and are yet always permeated with a sense of poetry. We, as music writers, are trying to mix very different emotional atmospheres. We are happy to present a visual / audio work that gathers the sort of brutality of our music with the sensibility of his drawings.”

Lyrics:
Are we left all alone?
Mother has no time but she cares for me
and she cried all the tears
I am joining now the river flow
I am three days old
Now the time has come
You have to be man
I don’t want to destroy
the only chance I have to survive down here
The wind blows I’m so scared
and the waves so big, I’m not prepared
I will have to be strong
but for now I cry all the tears
Now enter the storm and feel electric sword
My entire life is about to burn
I am struggling, life is illusion
But I keep the dream of a better time
This secret knowledge I receive from where I am
So precious the treasured icons
Extended to this point
Forget the ones that hurt
They all want, they struggle
They fight and try to dry their tears
We’re all left on our own
We are bound yet by each others lives
Now I’m leaving this world
I will never forget the river flow
The pains and traps of life
I put my scars away and love
I have to face the truth of living
I left my boat behind
I am not taking it
Where I go I won’t be crying
I die
