Kisses Over Babylon
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He vivido en este lugar
Por cuantos anos no se
Me llamo Eduardo
Fui encanado
Quiero la sangre sonido
De mis profundos oidos
Hasta que hayamos cantado
Soy encanado
Encanado

Parlante con el mar del cielo
Pide que la sed de crecer
En todo la creacion me dios
Y el manifiesto
Consciente de la llama en
Alimentada por todo
Convertimos en lo que estamos
Soy illuminados
Illuminados

This is my god alarm
Kisses over Babylon
Warkind your time has come
Kisses over Babylon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros's song Kisses Over Babylon are full of metaphors and personal reflections of the lead singer, Eduardo. The first verse means that he has been living in this place for a long time and his name is Eduardo. He has been imprisoned but wants to hear the sound of his own blood flowing in his ears until he sings. This shows that he wants to experience a transcendental experience that will make him free from his physical imprisonment. The second verse talks about Eduardo's conversation with the sky and the sea. He is asking them to help him grow and become aware of his existence in the world. He feels that he is a part of the creation of God and that there is a manifest consciousness in everything. He has been illuminated with this knowledge.


The chorus of the song is a powerful statement of Eduardo's faith. He believes that there is a higher power that has the ability to bring change to the world.

This band: part hippie commune, part mystery religion. part 60's foreign exploitation flick, and part art house cinema. Whatever this is, it is absolutely undefinable even though the power of the emotion it communicates is absolutely undeniable.

@treyowen9213

I can't believe it's been this long since I first saw this on that Beavis and Butthead's episode "Bathroom Break". 😊

@cartooncentral263

Same here

@kassabarn

"and for the chorus I would like something like this... WOOOEEEEAAEEEOOEEEAAAAAOOO!"

@daveseaman31362

Brilliant. Editing. cinemetography, writings. THE MUSIC. Metaphors, all tyhe religious symbols. Edward Sharpe is a genuis. A fantastic bit of collaboration.

I always have loved this band, but I am gaining such a deep respect for them because of these videos.
