Babylon
Traffic A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

午前三時 時計チクタクまた不眠症
眠りのドアの前
やっとたどり着いたときに
Sleep paralysis has attacked
金縛りがバッとまた
襲いかかった無音の中
固まる手足わずかに震える
Thriller
Ah また今夜も現れた
数え切れない
ストームトゥルーパー
Oh god もう絶体絶命だ
凍りつく闇に
Tied down, wach sound
耳鳴りがグインゴグインゴ刺さる
鼓膜を
早すぎる心拍
まさに急に停止するほどの状況に
Nobody help me
ギリギリと真綿で締めあげられる
Tied down
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
Now that we will fall
into the labyrinth
けだるいメマイ 媚薬みたいな
Sweet, the sweetest nightmare
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
迷宮の奥の奈落へ
逃げ出したいのに
痺れていたいスリルに
目を閉じてこのまま Let's shake,
shake the night,
shake the Babylon yeah
聴こえるはずのない音が
このマンションの廊下
ヒタヒタと響く足音は
魔界からのストーカー
気が付けば辺りに一杯だ
裸のランチみたいな
ドス黒いサイコのスパイダー
いまシーツをゆっくり剥いだ
鈍く目が光る ぶっとい爪で
ガッと引っ掻く 虫ケラ
膝を伝い徐々に這い上がる
Dope のロープ縛られた恐怖呼ぶ
みぞおちの辺りで
羽震わせてほらニヤリと笑う
物凄いスピードで
そしてジワジワと
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついてほら笑ってる
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
Now that we will fall
into the labyrinth
深層の View 剥がれかけてる
My self control
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
無限に浮かぶフレイズ
目覚めと共に
消えてしまうメロディー
散りばめて朝まで Let's shake,
shake the night,
shake the Babylon yeah
じっとりと汗が浮かび流れて蜘蛛が
吐き出す糸に伝ってく
メビウスのリングの中の住民
意識がそっと体を離脱
そいつをヤツは追ってきやがる
だたずっと逃げていくこの迷路
無限の螺旋構造 そう
そろそろもうかなり深い場所
深層にほら手が届く頃
やっと見えてきたフワリ浮かぶ
眠りの紫禁城
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついた夢たちが
絡みついてほら笑ってる
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
Now that we will fall
into the labyrinth
けだるいメマイ 媚薬みたいな
Sweet, the sweetest nightmare
Let's shake, shake the night,
shake the Babylon
迷宮の奥の奈落へ
逃げ出したいのに
痺れていたいスリルに
目を閉じてこのまま Let's shake,
shake the night,
shake the Babylon yeah
眠れない夢の中 Let's shake,




shake the night,
shake the Babylon

Overall Meaning

These lyrics, from the song "Babylon" by Traffic A.M., describe a dark and unsettling experience. The first paragraph sets the scene at 3 AM, a time associated with sleeplessness and insomnia. The singer finds themselves in front of the door to sleep, but instead of finding rest, they are attacked by sleep paralysis and a sense of immobility. The lyrics describe the feeling of being frozen and trembling in the silence.


In the second paragraph, the lyrics introduce the concept of a stormtrooper, symbolizing an overwhelming force or threat. The singer feels helpless and senses that they are in a dire situation, as if trapped in a frozen darkness. Their ears are filled with tinnitus, and their heartbeats quicken to the point where it feels like they might suddenly stop. They express a desperate cry for help, but feel as if nobody is there to assist them. The lyrics convey a sense of being tightly bound and on the brink of suffocation.


The third paragraph uses metaphors and vivid imagery to depict the overwhelming and disorienting nature of the experience. The lyrics liken the feeling to a hazy dream or a seductive drug, emphasizing the allure of the thrilling sensation despite the desire to escape. The singer wishes to flee the labyrinth they find themselves in, but at the same time, they are entranced and want to remain numb to the thrilling sensation. The recurring line "Let's shake, shake the night, shake the Babylon" suggests a struggle to break free from the grip of this nightmarish experience.


In the final paragraph, the lyrics continue to describe the eerie and surreal nature of the situation. The sound of footsteps echoes through the apartment hallway, intensifying the feeling of being stalked by a figure from the underworld. The lyrics convey a sense of the singer's vulnerable state as they find themselves surrounded by dark entities and disturbing images. Despite their attempts to resist, they feel a growing presence and the encroachment of increasingly entangled dreams. The lyrics conclude with a sense of resignation and a desire to close their eyes and remain in this hazy, unsettling state, as they repeat the plea to shake the night and the Babylon.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of being trapped in a nightmarish reality, unable to escape the grip of immobility, darkness, and unsettling sensations. The lyrics use vivid imagery, metaphors, and repeated phrases to create a sense of unease and disorientation, emphasizing the conflict between the desire for escape and the allure of the thrilling and mysterious.
