I wanna get back to writing about my personal takes on life, let's give sociopolitical themes a break. After all my 'personal' Facebook page seems politicized enough so why not utilize this place to fill the void? I am writing because of a touching experience I have had with an artistic masterpiece that at the first glance appeared a far cry from my conventional taste: a song by the French heavy metal group "Gojira" titled "L'Enfant Sauvage". After listening to the song over and over again and savoring every word of it, I am now convinced my musical was frozen in at least a few decades ago.
Dom Lawson from The Guardian gives them a five star review and describes Gojira's new album "a ferociously original piece of work that reaches its electrifying zenith on The Gift of Guilt," being from where I come from I got goose bumps listening thorough "L'Enfant Sauvage", the album's second track as it is as if these words are screamed through the mouth of myself and my peers:
So long I've been trying to match
It doesn't work I'm trying I don't know The aberration of this world
It killed a part of me and I was raging
The denial
Run away from institutions
I owe myself life
There is light in this world I fight for
The reason you won't leave this cage
Betray your child the desire
that you won't serve to reveal yourself
Forgot to create your own life
Anger
Lies
Denial
It killed a part of me and I was raging
The denial
Run away from institutions
I owe myself life
There is light in this world I fight for
The reason you won't leave this cage
Betray your child the desire
that you won't serve to reveal yourself
Forgot to create your own life
Anger
Lies
Denial
I try to deal with
The pain is gone
There's no way
Flowing through me
