to me it sounds like a junkie couple and when they were marooned they were high. his partner may has died and babylon is some kind of heaven and he wants to meet him/her there again. awesome song!
Babylon can be interpreted in a few ways, Babylon was the land conquered by Alexander the great, however, in rastafarianism, Babylon is the opposite of natural, almost percieved as evil. I'd like to think that Darron is open minded enough to understand this. Running to Babylon, people come to America and Britain seeking better lives for themselves and their families, but the way these places are run almost completely go against nature (Capitalism). Running to Babylon, meet you there in babylon, almost like they are going to go live their dreams. Marooned again, I think shows the humanity and simplicity...

Running to Babylon, meet you there in babylon, almost like they are going to go live their dreams. Marooned again, I think shows the humanity and simplicity of the folk who live there, and you can be happy... for a while. But when the system chooses to spit you out, your on your own and no one cares, your marooned. But then the song changes its tone. When he says Running from Babylon it gives me chills. After seeing all this corruption and stepping on the little guy, a lot of people that wake up cannot believe how evil the way of life is and wish to escape. The irony of trying to run from Babylon, is that now it is everywhere, the corruption has literally infested all that was good and beautiful in the world, and slanted it, turning it into systems based on greed, prejudice, extortion, MURDER and human rights violations. Darron is a genius, thats why SOAD kicked arse and thats why scars kick arse, they know the truth.
