Babylon Grows
Rising Echoes: Unveiling the Cultural Resilience in 'Babylon Grows'
Lyrics
They catch you sleeping it's an early grave
Refers to the consequences of being caught unaware; a warning about dangers leading to an early demise
They suck you in and spit you out
Describes a cycle of manipulation, drawing someone in only to discard them later
If only there was another way
Expresses a desire for an alternative, a different path or solution to avoid conflict and distress
We wouldn't have to scream and shout
An expression of frustration; if circumstances were different, there would be no need for loud protests or arguments
It grows Babylon grows
Repetition emphasizing the growth and expansion of Babylon, possibly representing societal or systemic issues worsening over time
It grows Babylon grows
-We see the flames in the distance
Observing imminent trouble or conflict but a reluctance from anyone to resolve it
Nobody wanna put them out
Apathy or unwillingness to address problems; people avoiding taking action to extinguish troubles
Epitome of persistence
Highlighting a situation where persistence, despite difficulties, is the norm
We might as well scream and shout
Even though it seems futile, expressing oneself loudly might be the only recourse
It grows Babylon grows
Repetition emphasizing the growth and expansion of Babylon, possibly representing societal or systemic issues worsening over time
It grows Babylon grows
-History swept under the rug
History being ignored or deliberately hidden; neglecting the origins or important events
Forgot who was original
Forgetting the true roots, cultural heritage, or identity
We are the people of the
Asserting identity and belonging to a specific land, expressing permanence
Land and that'll never change
Symbolism of mountains representing longevity and resilience of the people
Mountains watched since the dawn of time
Observing the continuity of these mountains throughout history
And remain until were gonе
They will persist until the people are no longer there
As long as there's Queens
Suggests that as long as there are strong female leaders, conflict might persist
Therе will never be peace
Implying that peace might not be achieved while powerful female figures exist
Now everybody wanna helping hand
A call for empathy or understanding; seeking support or someone who comprehends their situation
Or somebody that'll understand
A desire for someone who can relate or empathize with their experiences
We send a message to the western land
Trying to communicate their situation to the Western world
That we live in castles made of sand
Metaphorically stating their vulnerability, living in unstable conditions
It grows Babylon grows
Repetition emphasizing the growth and expansion of Babylon, possibly representing societal or systemic issues worsening over time
It grows Babylon grows
-It grows Babylon grows
-It grows Babylon grows
