Lyrics
When the room is vacant
Feeling of emptiness or solitude when there's no one in the room.
And you're all alone
Being alone and isolated.
And your mind is empty
Experiencing a lack of thoughts or mental activity.
And you're on your own
Being independent and self-reliant.
And you're in this limbo
Feeling stuck in an in-between state with no one around.
With nobody around
Isolation with a lack of companionship.
And your mind is empty
Experiencing a mental void or emptiness.
Until the sun goes down
Loneliness until the end of the day.
A marathon being ran inside my head at all times
A constant mental struggle or challenge represented as a marathon.
And once it's done nothing to replace or mediate
After overcoming challenges, there's no replacement or resolution.
The crowd is gone and it's just me and the state of my mind
Being left alone with one's thoughts after a challenging experience.
My Babylon oh my Babylon
Referring to personal struggles as "My Babylon," suggesting a significant and enduring challenge.
Then the day starts over
The repetition of daily life, with routines setting in.
And the routine sets in
A sense of emptiness in a routine, perhaps a mundane existence.
And the tower's vacant
A vacant or unoccupied metaphorical tower, possibly representing a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose.
So they keep climbing in
Despite emptiness, others continue to engage in the routine.
And you send them outward
Trying to distance oneself from others, but they persistently return.
But they keep coming back
Others coming back despite efforts to keep them away.
So you let your fear go
Letting go of fear and being lenient with oneself.
And cut yourself some slack
Granting oneself some forgiveness or relief.
A marathon being ran inside my head at all times
Reiteration of the ongoing mental struggle or marathon.
And once it's done nothing to replace or mediate
Completion of the mental challenge with no resolution.
The crowd is gone and it's just me and the state of my mind
Being left alone with one's thoughts after the mental struggle.
My Babylon oh my Babylon
Repetition of referring to personal struggles as "My Babylon."
When the night is over
After the night, when interactions and distractions cease, a return to emptiness.
And everyone is gone
Everyone else has moved on, leaving an individual alone.
And your mind is empty
A return to a state of mental emptiness after social interactions.
You can hum along
Finding solace or distraction in humming along despite mental emptiness.
And your mind is empty
Repetition of a mental void or emptiness.
And your mind is empty
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the mental emptiness.
