バベル - いよわ / Babel - Iyowa (English Cover)

•I'm planning my tommorow, tonight• Original Song by Iyowa: https://youtu.be/zSKwxQqrac0 I see this song as another Iyowa coming-of-age track. This time though it's tied heavily to the bible story of The Tower of Babel. Which essentially, is an explanation for why we all speak different languages. If we were all united as one we would be too powerful, is how I read that lol. in the context of the song though I think it's more of a metaphor for the things you've built up during your own life that hold meaning or power. It touches on alot of feelings but overall seems reminiscent, nostalgic, and hopeful by the end. perhaps a more pin pointed theory will come up but I love the song regardless it sounds very cool. also, given the nature of the video it also just seems like a teto celebration lmao and also the lady in the video looks a little more mature. kind of like a business woman. sort of like Teto's voice provider perhaps. Teto's twin drills turn into little angel wings so maybe it's also a little ily to teto and her actress in that way. Thanks ^^ Lyrics~ Going up that famous tower out of pace Hope the speed I go aint showing on my face Popped up when you turned away Looking for an answer, In a barren ancient place Writing down our cultures to communicate Laughing at the jokes but push their past away Imitating the madonna Spotlights on, I gotta Go and live my own damn way. Past the shopping district before- That new mall just opened it's doors So close that I can walk to the store But they don't sell popsicles anymore That celebrity( I had their cd's) Has by now become a mother you see In the next town an hour from me I heard on the train and cried all the same So, that is Something just a 'little short' of miraculous. Felt from within Give you a name that fits. Living with a weariness so deep inside Meaningless wants piling up throughout all time Was served a mountain made of papers Shit i got pay for Living my adult life true It won't go away I could run anywhere Even when i close my eyes it's standing there Shining brightly. Couldn't stop it Yelling in my closet. dreaming of the world I drew Ahh... So, that is Something just a little short of miraculous I'm believing in. Aren't I a stupid man? Pushed together now the sky is coming down All the sour fruit will ripen from the ground In this tower of the future on it's head no sooner The shape of it resembles you Wiping tears of happiness. I'm hiding them Opening my parachute I fly again Ahh~ My uniform so nice; Like my second skin In life. And I'm planning my tommorow, tonight. Ahh.
