Gojira – Born In Winter lyrics

Gojira – Born In Winter lyrics

Before all things reborn again
You learn the painful breath of time
Cold mourning stretches out your arms
To the mighty warmth of the golden sun
Seem all have gone insane for gold
All was created out of the night
We're all born from the burst of a star
The day you'll come to life you'll realize
Expanding force to life where you belong
And in the winter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright
One day you'll walk the world and keep in mind
The heart you've been given in winter time
And through the bitter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright

The way I interpret the song, is as if a god is talking to someone before they once again continue their reincarnation cycle. "Before all things reborn again, you learn the painful breath of time". What I see expressed in these lines is the "God" is saying you finally realized what it takes to reborn, and that it is essentially and endless cycle until one day you break it. The "painful breath of time" could possibly be their idea that time doesn't exist. You are everyone else. And everyone else is you, just reincarnated. "Expanding force to life where you belong". It's also inferred that you aren't going to remember this conversation between the "God" and yourself when you're reborn "keep in mind, the heart you've been given in winter time". Winter I believe is a metaphor for death, and the spirit leaving the body, so this is a conversation between spirit and "God". No one else understands as they are all wanting of material things, "insane for gold". These are your past selves and are all not focused on what your future selves will be i.e. enlightenment, realization etc. The time you "find the strength to fight and stand up right" is when you, as a human, realize the cycle and remember your conversation with "God".

This song represents to me the pain associated with growing up. But many people turn against that pain and resent life for it not being easy. This is his message to newer people, seemingly his unborn child, about how to embrace the difficult walk in life, make your stand in the cosmos, and live with courage.

Honestly I think this is a song to his kids, telling them a life lesson before they are born. In the beginning it isn't clear who is he talking to or what about.
"Seems all have gone insane for gold" seems like a legit point of view of society from the narrator, and he seems like he is having a conversation with someone.
"The day you'll come to life" is obviously the birth. Everything else seems like metaphoric ways the narrator found to say how he expects his child to evolve both as an Human and as a person.
"When day you'll walk the world and keep in mind the heart you've been given in the winter time" is pretty much saying that he expects that this person behaves keeping in mind the blessing that it is being given with Life.
Like all Gojira songs this is a song about being "free minded" and love nature as it was given to us.

For me... it just means that in all things in life, including yourself
Has to die and reborn
We all have to loose to gain again
Like recently i have lost the love of my life back in winter
It makes me believe that... things has to end to start something better

Things has to die to be reborn
I have to die a little...to become better, to be better

I think the phrase "all things reborn" could possibly refer to a cycle of reincarnation, but to me, it seems more relevant to springtime. When the snow thaws and the trees come back to life, the animals emerge from hibernation, and new plants grow. It seems like a beautiful representation of human healing as well. The "painful breadth of time" would be the wait for Spring and for the end of a period of suffering.
"All was created from the burst of the stars" is the realization of how small we are, despite how great our sufferings may seem. Our pain is acute, but the grand scheme of the universe gives us a new perspective on our own experience.
"And in the winter cold, with opened eyes, you'll find the strength to fight and stand upright" refers to the power suffering can give us, to push through with discipline and strength.
I never really thought about the lyrics of this beautiful song, now I love it even more.

I find your interpretation interesting but I disagree with the first sentence: "Before all things reborn" I think they are just talking about the life (the trees, the animals, the nature in general) as the song belongs to winter.
And about this "God" you're talking about, I had this impression too but I wouldn't say it's actually a God as we, humans, think this word: with all the work of Gojira, I think this is the Nature, the life who is talking to the new child.
