Gojira - Hold On Lyrics

Gojira Lyrics

"Hold On"

I've been grinding and grinding
O! Ocean have mercy

I've been grinding and grinding
O! Ocean have mercy
I give you my life
O! Son of the Sun

I've been rowing and rowing
No sign of land so far in the flood
I've been through fire and wind I'm hanging, feet in the depth

Drowning all day long, in an ocean of stress
Gotta find a safety raAAAAAAft, another wave is striking down

Hold on! Fight!
We are are merely grabbing on to...
Hold on! Fight!
Unconscious ride around the core

In a matter of time, you're out in the open
You shall prove yourself in the bitter end
But for now, brace yourself!

Hold on! Fight!
We are merely grabbing on to...
Hold on! Fight!
Unconscious ride around the core

When you witness death you understand your demise
And you may embrace your destiny the fate of all
And maybe when we die we rise, high, find a ground
And we return where we belong

Elders, deep under
Shelter, land!

Fight!
We are merely grabbing on to life
Fight!
One last attempt to break the code...

Hold on! Fight!
We are are merely grabbing on to...
Hold on! Fight!
Unconscious ride around the core

Hold on! Fight!
Hold on tight!
Hold on! Fight!
Hold on tight!

Joe Duplantier explained to Apple Music about "Hold On", "It's one of the last songs I wrote for this album, and I was struggling to come up with lyrics. I had already written about things that really matter to me, like civil disobedience and the Amazon. But I really loved the music for this, so I absolutely wanted it on the album. At some point, I was really depressed and about to give up and I decided to just fucking let it out. I was feeling overwhelmed by life, and I had this vision that life is like an ocean and we need to hold on to something because waves are crashing on us. Then it started to flow and I found my voice for this song."
