Babylon
G-Bod Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Babylon (Babylon)
It's for you, I sing
Babylon (Babylon)
In a sea of other things
This song (this song)
Burnin' the offering

Liquid shaky ground
That the soil cannot reach
Tower casts a shadow
Virus when you speak
Love it when I see you
In a state of disbelief

Run along (run along)
Even though you don't believe
Go on (go on)
So easy to be deceived
Right or wrong (right or wrong)
So difficult to leave

It's not that I don't get it
I really think I do
We wanted to be different
But ain't happen any time soon
Mood spelled backwards
Doom

Babylon (Babylon)
It's for you, I sing
Babylon
In a sea of other things
This song
Burnin' the offering

Liquid shaky ground
That the soil cannot reach
Tower casts a shadow
Virus when you speak
Love it when I see you
In a state of disbelief
