The Trails Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All that you see that is gold is truly gold
I spotted through the vines, a deer in the wild

[Refrain]
Signs in the trails
Beyond the reason

[Verse 2]
Eye-gazing the unknown, defeating the ground
This passage through the flames, leads me where the souls go

[Bridge]
Signs in the dreams
Beyond the reason
We're forced into the light

[Chorus]
How can we be so blind?
Our light is torn
How can we be so lame?
No truth being told

[Refrain]
Signs in the trails
Beyond the reason
[Verse 3]
All that you see that lives truly is alive
Let us stay awake reminded of the trails that matter

What did Gojira say about "The Trails"?
Genius Answer

Joe Duplantier:

It’s like a blurry dream—a poem with soothing music. We always have this toward the end of our albums, because we can’t help but experiment. I could easily do a side project or a solo career to express some of the stuff that is not metal, but I choose to focus on the band and turn GOJIRA into a weird beast that has several faces. I think “The Trails” is a more subtle side of us, but it’s actually very technical. It’s maybe the hardest song to play on guitar on the entire album, but it’s also the calmest.
