Babylon
Angus &Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won't go home.
Let's go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She's my Babylon.
You're all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood-
Red as when.
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
So rest your hand
You're all mine.
I can't stay awake,
My eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
That you walk â??round
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone
No I don't want to
Be alone.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
The lyrics of Angus & Julia Stone's song "Babylon" are somewhat of a love song, with a twist. The song is about a woman who is the singer's Babylon, which is a metaphor for something that is full of temptation and often leads to trouble. Despite this, the singer cannot resist her and sees her as everything he wants. The lyrics "Let's go on a holiday / To burn this town" indicate he wants to escape with her, even if that means leaving everything behind. He wants her to rest her head and heart, to stay with him and not walk away because of the feeling of emptiness he would have without her. The lyrics "She's my Babylon" further emphasize how important she is to him, despite her being surrounded by temptations that he cannot control.
Furthermore, the chorus, "No I don't want to see you go / No I don't want to be alone," shows the depth of emotion the singer feels for this woman. He cannot bear to lose her, even if it means facing temptation and danger with her. The line "Said I dreamed a dream / That you walk around" paints the picture of the singer's fantasy world with this woman, where he dreams of her constantly and sees her in everything he does.
Overall, the lyrics of "Babylon" express a love that is all-consuming, where the singer cannot live without the object of his affection, even if it leads to risky situations.

I got married to this beautiful song April 29 2017 in Perth Australia to the woman I let go twenty years before but always missed and loved her, I always had her in my heart and just couldn’t let her go, because I had a real love a once in a lifetime one. I know real love and to be truly loved. Blessings to you all and be happy.x
