Born Again
Ricky L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was born in a system
That doesn't give a fuck about you nor me nor the lies
Don't be a victim of things I do to survive
Because I always knew
Any good you Babilonians are
Ik was geboren in een system
Wees geen slachtoffer van de dingen die ik doen om te overleven
Omdat ik altijd geweten heb
Dat jullie, Babilioniërs, niet goed zijn
(herhaal)
The lyrics to Ricky L's song "Born Again" speak to the experience of being born into a societal system that is not designed to benefit everyone. The lyrics suggest that this system, which has no regard for individuals or their lives, forces people to take drastic measures just to survive. The use of the word "Babilonians" in the song is significant because it references the ancient city of Babylon, which represented a society that was oppressive and corrupt.
The lyrics also allude to the idea that the singer has been able to stay true to themselves and resist the negative influences of the system. The singer tells the listener not to become a victim of the things they do to survive, suggesting that they have had to make difficult choices in the face of adversity. Despite this, the singer maintains a strong sense of self-awareness and resists the negative influences of the system.

I was supposed to go to bed over an hour ago but I can't stop listening to this song. It's amazing and I had never even heard it before.

This song is great but I think after so many years it needs a refresh or at least a remix that you can play in the club or in the car. Great memories with this song❤️
