Babylon
jesiah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got the best type of defense
You tell a joke just to distract them
I thought we both grew up in Babylon
We speak the language, no one understands us

They're shooting fiery darts straight at our hearts
We'll never let them get to us
Cause I thought we both grew up in Babylon

We speak the language, no one understands us

And we say Oh Woah Woah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jesiah's song "Babylon" speaks about the feeling of isolation and alienation that can come from growing up in a place where you feel like you don't belong. The use of Babylon in the context of the song symbolizes a place where people may feel like they are lost or out of touch with the world around them. The line "We speak the language, no one understands us" highlights the idea that despite being surrounded by people, there can still be a sense of loneliness and feeling misunderstood.

Additionally, the lyrics touch upon a coping mechanism for dealing with these feelings: humor. The line "You tell a joke just to distract them" suggests that sometimes, making light of a situation can be helpful in deflecting attention away from more complex emotions. The song ultimately serves as a reminder to stay strong in the face of adversity and to take comfort in knowing that there are others out there who understand what it's like to feel like an outsider.
