Bababa Ba?

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isa ka sa anghel na biglang naglaho
Sumabay ka rin sa pagsipol ko
Awawa
Minsang malumbay ang munting tahanan
Paumanhin man kung ika'y nasaktan
Susubaybayan ang iyong kalungkutan
Naglalaro lang tayo
Nandito nandito
Nandito lang naman ako
Pikit-mata at ayaw kang makita
Takbo ng oras ko ay paurong
'Di ba't nakakatindig balahibo
Inuugoy ng makasalanang anino
Naghihintay pa rin ako sayo
Kailan ka mumulat sa 'king panaginip
Lalo lang akong naiinip
Susubaybayan ang iyong kalungkutan
Tulad ng aking kamatayan
Naglalaro lang tayo
Nandito nandito
Nandito lang naman ako
Pikit-mata at ayaw kang makita
Inuugoy ng makasalanang anino
Naghihintay pa rin ako sayo
Sabado na maglaro tayo
Isa ka sa anghel na biglang naglaho
The lyrics to dasu's song "BABABA BA?" convey emotions of heartbreak, longing, and waiting. The first stanza paints a picture of two people playing together on a Saturday. One partner suddenly disappears, leaving the other singing about their vanished angel. The second stanza describes a sad home and the singer's promise to follow the heartache of their beloved. The chorus repeats the phrase "Naglalaro lang tayo, Nandito nandito, Nandito lang naman ako" which means "We're just playing, I'm here, I'm just here" and describes a situation where two people are physically present but emotionally distant. The lyrics further suggest that the singer is waiting for their partner to return and that they will keep waiting like they are waiting for death.
The lyrics make use of several literary devices to convey the singer's feelings. The repeated use of "susubaybayan ang iyong kalungkutan" (I'll be keeping track of your sadness) is an example of parallelism used to emphasize the singer's commitment. The use of the word "anino" (shadow) in the lines "Inuugoy ng makasalanang anino, Naghihintay pa rin ako sa'yo" (I'm still waiting for you, hounded by sinful shadows) creates a metaphorical image of darkness looming over and haunting the singer.

Sabado na maglaro tayo
Let's play on Saturday
Isa ka sa anghel na biglang naglaho
You're one of the angels who suddenly disappeared
Sumabay ka rin sa pagsipol ko
You also joined me in whistling
Awawa
Alas
Minsang malumbay ang munting tahanan
Once the small house became gloomy
Paumanhin man kung ika'y nasaktan
I apologize if I hurt you
Susubaybayan ang iyong kalungkutan
I'll follow your sadness
Tulad ng aking kamatayan
Like my death
Naglalaro lang tayo
We're just playing
Nandito nandito
Here, here
Nandito lang naman ako
I'm just here
Pikit-mata at ayaw kang makita
Eyes closed and don't want to see you
Takbo ng oras ko ay paurong
My time is running backward
'Di ba't nakakatindig balahibo
Doesn't it give you goosebumps
Inuugoy ng makasalanang anino
The sinful shadow is taunting me
Naghihintay pa rin ako sayo
I'm still waiting for you
Kailan ka mumulat sa 'king panaginip
When will you open your eyes in my dream
Lalo lang akong naiinip
I'm getting more impatient
Inuugoy ng makasalanang anino
The sinful shadow is taunting me
Naghihintay pa rin ako sayo
I'm still waiting for you
Sabado na maglaro tayo
Let's play on Saturday
Isa ka sa anghel na biglang naglaho
You're one of the angels who suddenly disappeared

You can theorize about the ongoing novel/songs, send in your fanarts & stuff!: discord.gg/7yaXWVeZXC
Cohen is one of the few Helices who liked playing with human vessels before he inhabits them, wanting to 'play' with them 'during Saturdays', or luring them to push them off the top of a high structure. He blames humans for making him suffer the consequences of their inability to come forward and voluntary owning up to their mortal debts. He admits that he too, has his own weaknesses, yet he can only blame himself. He then reminisces all his human errs as he watches his preys bleed out of existence and then take their over their bodies as his own. Seeing them dying on the ground only reminds him of himself and how he could've wished he did something, but the past only remains in the past. In the upcoming novel chapter, he decided to run away from the responsibility of 'mortality' by being turned into a doll, which was now carried by Cihy as nothing other than a mere burden, from the previous song 'DIVINE'.

If you think Dasu's amazing because she did her songs mostly all by herself, wait until you discover she's also a CEO of HER OWN COMPANY IN REAL LIFE.
We appreciate your dedication Dasu, holy smokes.
Edit: cleared for those who are asking.
