Babylon
Daniel Pertsev Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words are on the ground
But thereʼre no even traces
We keep on drowning in the phony idols
Looking for royalties, ranks, and titles
All i hear: “game is changing”
But for me, itʼs the same
Even now, when itʼs raining
I ainʼt giving up to this babylon
Weʼre spending our lives for
What is not even matter
Weʼre living in lies
We donʼt try to get better
We keep on drowning in the phony idols
Looking for royalties, ranks, and titles
All i hear: “game is changing”
But for me, itʼs the same
Even now, when itʼs raining
Itʼs so simple and so plain
I ainʼt giving up to this babylon
Will you stay around?
When the times get worse?
When the times get better? (yeah, yeah)
Every life matters,
Ainʼt gotta be the fallen soldiers in this madness (nah)
You ainʼt never gonna see me falling down
Not right now not ever, no no
Get with it, yeah it smells like teen spirit
Sounds like billy jeanʼs singing
Going cray in the purple rain
Yeah yeah yeah
I ainʼt catching up for the yesterday
All eyez on me, baby, thatʼs the way
Thatʼs the way yeah yeah
All i hear: “game is changing”
But for me, itʼs the same
Even now, when itʼs raining
Itʼs so simple and so plain
The lyrics to Daniel Pertsev's song "Babylon" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration with society's obsession with superficialities and false idols. The opening lines suggest that people are wearing masks and their true identities are hidden, while words are empty and meaningless. Despite the constant change and chaos around them, the singer feels that nothing really changes and remains the same, even in the midst of rain and hardship.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that people are wasting their lives on things that do not truly matter. They are living in a world of lies and not making an effort to improve themselves. The repeated phrase "game is changing" implies that others may think there is progress or shifting dynamics, but for the singer, it all remains stagnant and unchanging.
The later part of the lyrics questions whether others will stand by the singer in both good and bad times. It asserts that every life matters, not just those of fallen soldiers, calling attention to the importance of valuing every individual. The lyrics then express determination not to fall down or give in to the trappings of Babylon, referencing iconic songs and artists like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Billie Jean," and "Purple Rain." The singer refuses to be trapped in the past and declares that their focus is on the present.
In summary, "Babylon" by Daniel Pertsev speaks to the feeling of being trapped in a society obsessed with superficiality and false idols. It underlines the importance of staying true to oneself and not succumbing to the allure of materialism and social rankings.
