Babylon
I&I Crew ft. Smokah Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
I met you at the goth club
I told you I'm a baby goth but you knew it
Damn I was really feeling you
Too bad you've got a man
Cause I'm really cool
But to be honest I don't care about that
We can go to my hotel and fuck on my mattress
The way I talk may be sexual and flexible
But girl this stroke will make you back flip
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
Everybody wanna be a vampire
But don't nobody ever wanna drink blood
The lyrics of "Babylon" by I&I Crew ft. Smokah Dee explore the concept of individuals desiring to embody the seductive and mysterious qualities associated with vampires, but shying away from fully embracing their darker nature. The repetition of the line "Everybody wanna be a vampire, but don't nobody ever wanna drink blood" underscores this contradiction. It suggests that people are drawn to the allure of the vampire archetype, with its immortality and supernatural powers, but are not willing to fully commit to the darker aspects that come with it.
The song presents a narrative where the singer meets someone at a goth club, expressing their interest while acknowledging that the other person already has a partner. However, this doesn't deter the singer, as they suggest engaging in a casual encounter. The lyrics employ sexual innuendos to emphasize the intensity and passion of the desire they share. In these lines, the singer uses provocative language to entice the other person, suggesting that their physical prowess will leave a lasting impression.
