About This Track

'Babylon...' is a death metal and black metal track by Loathe, taken from 'The Cold Sun' and released in 2017. The lyrics dwell on collapse and disintegration, with a speaker caught in a bad dream and asking whether they will “walk alone forever”. There is also a sense of self-destruction and abandonment, expressed through repeated images of wasted time, being left behind, and life slipping away. In vocal delivery terms, the writing leans on blunt repetition, as if the mind is grinding through the same ruin.

"Babylon..." is a track by Loathe, from the album The Cold Sun, released 13th April 2017. The track is 4:17 long. It's filed under Death Metal/Black Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Loathe.

Lyrics

Babylon...

Collapsed life
Collapsed life
Collapsed life
Collapsed life

Split my mind
Waste of time
Left behind
Collapsed life

Step on the styli of this bad dream
And take this life from me
Will I walk alone forever?
In solace and in sleep
Concave me in my dreams
And send me back
Oh, send me back to sleep

My life lost from being buried in thick sheets
Concave me in my dreams and send me back to sleep
I lost myself back there inside an empty space
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
Just let me go back, just let me go

Split my mind
Waste of time
Left behind
Collapsed life
