The repetition of the word "Babylon" serves as a metaphor for the emotional turmoil and chaos that the singer is experiencing. The lyrics suggest that the singer is attempting to confront and process their pain by "ripping off the pages to this storyboard," but is still seeking guidance on how to fully let go of their painful memories. The repeated refrain of "Someone tell me how to let it go, I don't wanna feel this anymore" emphasizes the singer's desperation for release from the emotional weight they're carrying.
