In this poignant track by Gojira, the journey of a soul navigating through life's challenges is vividly portrayed. The lyrics suggest a metaphorical voyage where one must leave behind the past and endure harsh, cold conditions symbolizing personal trials. As the protagonist moves towards a hopeful yet uncertain future, they are guided by the fleeting brilliance of a shooting star, representing moments of clarity or inspiration. The song emphasizes resilience and adaptation as key to survival in an often hostile environment. It concludes with reflections on the nature of love—both its capacity to grow and its necessity to be released when it belongs to the past—highlighting the continuous cycle of holding on and letting go in life’s journey.
The Shooting Star
Lyrics
On the first light of the day you march on
Departure has arrived, don't look back
Avoid the darkness, stay away, stay out of sight
Until you feel the blast of a shooting star
Following the spark like a rocket in the sky
Between the bear and the scorpion, getting close
Headed north, frozen land, where tigers go to die
Don't fear the cold, it'll numb your memories out
You are higher
In the sky
Learn the skill to stay alive, survival
The city is so mean, you're being watched
Reach the tunnel, light the torch, you're on the hunt
Until the light calls you back into the wild
When you get to the other side, please send a sign
It'll fly through the atmosphere in time
And if you hold the truth within your hands
You won't be sent back, through the rain, reborn
Everlasting love is ever-growing
Hang on to what you have and let it grow
Everlasting love is ever-dying
It's in the past, you have to let it go
