About This Track
'Babel' by Massive Attack is a 2010 electronic track from 'Heligoland'. The lyrics frame a relationship of control and reversal, trading accusations and clarification while images of falling into shadows replace any idea of certainty. A repeated claim that it was “your babel” sets up the song’s central conceit, as if language and belief were just another trap, culminating in the suggestion that whatever was promised is now over, rolling away.
"Babel" is a track by Massive Attack, from the album Heligoland, released 3rd February 2010. The track is 5:20 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Massive Attack.
