Babar
Part Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walking in the street one night
Just thinking 'bout the wrong and right
How it all means nothing
In the world you left me

But I wait for the face to come
Back in my face now
Oh, I don't care about the sun

Girl, I know what it's about
Girl, I know what it's about
Girl, I know what it's about
Yeah, I know what it's about

But the face will come
Back in your night, girl
And I just don't care about the sun
Oh, the sun, oh, the sun

Back in your night, girl
Well, I just can't face it
The fact that you can't forget, won't forget

But the face will come
Back in your night, girl
Well, I just can't face it
The fact that you can't forget, won't forget

I was walking in the street one night
Just thinking 'bout the wrong and right





And I don't care about the sun
Oh, the sun, oh, the sun, oh, the sun

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics belong to the song "Babar" by Part Company. This song speaks about a person who is walking alone at night, lost in thoughts sorting out the right and wrong in the world. He feels deserted and abandoned by someone who was special to him, and no matter how much he waits, he doesn't see the return of that person anymore.


The singer of the song has given up on their former lover and is aware that the person will come back into their lives someday, but they are not bothered anymore. They have accepted the reality that the person they loved was not meant to be with them. There is a recurring motif of the face coming back into the life of the singer in the song, hinting at the hope and heartache of reconciliation.


The song is characterized by its somber and melancholic tone, with the singer's voice in a low pitch. It is noteworthy to mention that the title of the song "Babar" is shared with a famous children’s book character from the 1930s. While there is no specific reference to the character in the lyrics, it is speculated that the song's name derives from the elephant’s name, who is known for his wandering and lonely nature.
