| Mumford & Sons – Babel Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Are you reading the Communist Manifesto? I believe this song is about no such thing, and can see no evidence whatsoever in what you have written. It's about being in love and breaking down the walls of resistance in oneself and the object of affection. The Tower of Babel is a nice allegory for for breaking down the walls The following line is central to the theme. Press my nose up to the glass around your heart I should have known I was weaker from the start You’ll build your walls and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down and earlier.... And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons And I know that choices color all I’ve done But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son I never lived a year better spent in love ITs about trying to attain the divinity of love and he is finally borne without a mask - honest in his feelings. |
