Babylon
Capone And The Bullets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw the gasoline into flames
Everyday I'm drowning, sinking deeper
Didn't want to find myself so useless and weak
I know there's nothing left to say
I don't have the strength or reason to carry on
Hear my final prayer and see me rise at the dawn
Fading away when I'm gone
I try to find a way to escape
When the light just keep drifting further
I don't want to open my eyes ever again
I know I'm fading away
Running from myself
So afraid to be alone
This fear inside
I can see the destruction of this Babylon
My final fall, hear the Angel's call
I know there's nothing left to say
I don't have the strength or reason to carry on
Hear my final prayer and see me rise at the dawn
I'm fading away
Running from myself
So afraid to be alone
This fear inside
I can see the destruction of this Babylon
My final fall, hear the Angel's call

Take the bottle and light a fire
Ignite the bottle with a flame
Throw the gasoline into flames
Toss the fuel into the fire
Everyday I'm drowning, sinking deeper
Each day I feel overwhelmed and sinking further down
Didn't want to find myself so useless and weak
I never desired to discover my own worthlessness and vulnerability
I know there's nothing left to say
I am aware that there are no more words to be spoken
I don't have the strength or reason to carry on
I lack the motivation and ability to continue
Hear my final prayer and see me rise at the dawn
Listen to my last plea and witness my rebirth at daybreak
Fading away when I'm gone
Gradually disappearing after I depart
I can't wait until this Hell is over
I eagerly anticipate the end of this torment
I try to find a way to escape
I make efforts to discover an exit
When the light just keep drifting further
As the light continues to move away
I don't want to open my eyes ever again
I have no desire to ever open my eyes again
I know I'm fading away
I am conscious of my gradual disappearance
Running from myself
Attempting to escape my own existence
So afraid to be alone
Terrified of being in solitude
This fear inside
This internal feeling of terror
I can see the destruction of this Babylon
I witness the ruin of this corrupted place
My final fall, hear the Angel's call
My ultimate descent, listen to the call of the divine beings
I know there's nothing left to say
I understand that there are no more words to express
Hear my final prayer and see me rise at the dawn
Listen to my last plea and watch me ascend in the morning
I'm fading away
I am slowly disappearing
Running from myself
Escaping from my own identity
So afraid to be alone
Terrified of solitude
This fear inside
This internal feeling of dread
I can see the destruction of this Babylon
I witness the ruin of this corrupted place
My final fall, hear the Angel's call
My ultimate descent, hear the call of celestial beings
