Babalon
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit back, relax
Before you give yourself a heart attack
I ain't havin' none of that
Raise hell, prevail
As long as it sells
(As it sells)

High priest
All cease like your TV evangelist
Use them as a catalyst
Who cares?
Time wears
Ain't always fair
So let them stare

And what's been wrong
I'll make alright
Well right on
Right on
Let's start a chain reaction
Let's see some satisfaction
Here in Babalon

Here in Babalon

I've seen the change deranging everything in sight tonight
But that's alright
There's not much left here to ignite
(To ignite)

I'd take a laser
Phaser gun
And aim it at the sun
And pull the fuckin' trigger once
But what fun would that be?
It's already done
And that's no fun

But what's been wrong
I'll make alright
Well right on
Right on
feeding my brain's addictions
Leaving the same restrictions
Here in Babalon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Here in Babalon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Here in Baba

Let's go!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Here in Babalon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Here in Babalon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Here in Babalon

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh




Whoa-oh
Here in Babalon

Overall Meaning

The song "Babalon" by Unwritten Law talks about rebellion against politics, society, and religion, and encourages the listener to let go of their inhibitions and live their life on their terms. The opening lines of the song, "Sit back, relax, before you give yourself a heart attack, I ain't havin' none of that," set the tone for a song that is about shaking off limitations and societal expectations.


The song continually references "Babalon," a name that may refer to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. In some interpretations, Babalon represents a primal, irrational force that can be harnessed to gain power or liberation. The song's refrain urges us to find satisfaction and liberation in "Babalon."


The chorus of "what's been wrong, I'll make it right, well right on, right on" reinforces the idea of taking control of one's life and finding satisfaction. The song's energy and upbeat tone suggests that living life on one's own terms can be a joyful and fulfilling experience.
