Babylon
Stone Angus and Julia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won't go home.
Let's go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She's my Babylon.
You're all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood-
Red as when.
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
So rest your hand
You're all mine.
I can't stay awake,
My eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
That you walk â??round
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone
No I don't want to
Be alone.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
The song "Babylon" by Angus and Julia Stone is a romantic, yet slightly anguished ballad about a lover's unwillingness to let go. The singer tells his lover to rest their head, heart, and hand, assuring them that they are his and he is theirs. He expresses his desire to go on a holiday to escape their town and the burden of reality. The refrain "she's my Babylon" reinforces the idea that the lover is both a source of pleasure and pain, a city of excess and destruction.
The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the singer is struggling to hold onto a relationship that is slipping away. He needs his lover to stay with him in order to feel complete, but he also recognizes that their relationship is far from perfect. He dreams of a world without the problems and conflicts of reality, where they can be together without any obstacles. However, he also acknowledges that he may be clinging to a fantasy and that he is afraid of being alone.
Overall, "Babylon" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the complexity of love and longing. The lyrics are poetic and emotional, and the simple guitar chords and vocal harmonies add to the intimacy of the song.

So rest your head
Take a break, relax and calm down
You're all mine
You belong to me, I love you
And I stay awake,
I won't go home
I won't sleep, I won't leave you
Let's go on a holiday.
To burn this town
Let's go on a trip to escape this town and our problems
She's my Babylon.
You, my love, are the city I can't escape, just like the ancient city of Babylon
So rest your heart
You're all mine.
Calm down and let me love you
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
If you leave me, I will crumble
And bleed, red as blood-
Red as when.
She's my Babylon.
I will bleed and suffer like I'm in a war, just to be with you
No I don't want to
See you go.
I need you here with me, I can't bear to see you leave
No I don't want to
Be alone.
I don't want to be without you, I need you by my side
So rest your hand
You're all mine.
Take my hand and let me hold you close
I can't stay awake,
My eyes fall down.
I'm tired, but I don't want to close my eyes and miss a moment with you
Said I dreamed a dream
That you walk â??round
I had a dream of you beside me
She's my Babylon.
You're my love, my constant, my obsession
No I don't want to
See you go.
I need you, don't leave me
No I don't want to
Be alone
No I don't want to
Be alone.
I don't want to be without you, I don't want to feel alone

I got married to this beautiful song April 29 2017 in Perth Australia to the woman I let go twenty years before but always missed and loved her, I always had her in my heart and just couldn’t let her go, because I had a real love a once in a lifetime one. I know real love and to be truly loved. Blessings to you all and be happy.x
