babylon
A.N.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot, I can't breathe!
Yeah, Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
I see you people babble on and on and on
Graven images, golden idols and false icons
I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon
But my antenna keeps on pickin' up evil transmissions
At headquarters I receive my mission blow up the ruler of the air
Like nuclear fission
So I analyze my weapons
Laser-guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom
I think I see enemy warriors
Huh, fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors
So with brotha's that snuff punks
I set up time bombs to destroy the strongholds of babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority
Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority
Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya
Open to be used by god, destroy you like Medo-Persia
Jewel of all kingdoms, like evil, purified horror
Take you down, don't look back, overthrow you like sodoom and Gomorrah
Strong arm of the law, guilty of all crime
I be like the great prophet Isalah, predict your fall a hundred and fifty times
Got rhymes that you could never use for the purpose you be using
I'll dance over your fields, present-day Iraq still lies in ruins
Filled with lies, schemes, backstabbed persuasions
Bum-rushed, get crushed by us, this rescue invasion
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
Mised their bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy
I got a steel pulse, looking for a true democracy destruction
Now your walls have fallen
Just sitting here waiting for the train to zion
Sit down in the dust, Babylon
Without a throne to call your own
It's 47:1, city has fallen, god
She has fallen golden images of its gods lie shattered on the ground
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
The lyrics of A.N.D.'s song Babylon are a commentary on the excess and corruption of modern society, likened to the ancient city of Babylon. The untamed mass entering through the gate represents the chaos and depravity that Babylon represents. The artist cannot breathe, suggesting that he is overwhelmed and suffocated by this environment. He speaks of seeking wisdom like Solomon, but instead picks up "evil transmissions" and receives a mission to "blow up the ruler of the air." A.N.D. sees himself as a warrior fighting against Babylon and its false idols, using spiritual wisdom as his weapon. He predicts the fall of Babylon and proclaims himself as a soldier of God.
Overall, the song is a warning against the dangers of materialism and spiritual decay. The imagery of Babylon is used as a metaphor for the corrupt society that we live in today. The artist calls for a return to spiritual values and warns of the consequences of continuing on the current path.

Now your walls have fallen
Referring to the fall of Babylon
Just sitting here waiting for the train to zion
Waiting for liberation from the corrupt world
Sit down in the dust, Babylon

Without a throne to call your own
Having lost everything
It's 47:1, city has fallen, god
Referring to the fall of Babylon according to Biblical accounts
She has fallen golden images of its gods lie shattered on the ground
The idols of the once-glorious city are destroyed and in shambles
Babylon, breathe Babylon
A warning to the city to realize its corrupted state
