Here's an excerpt from a website I found that kind of explain the history behind the allusion she's using: "In the Bible’s Tower of Babel story, the citizens of the ancient city of Babylon were unable to understand each other after God changed their languages, creating chaos and miscommunication. A homophone for the name of the city, “babble on” is thus an adequate phrase to represent the meaningless, incoherent type of communication happening in the Tower of Babel narrative. Babylon is also generally considered a representation of wickedness. In the Book of Revelation, “BABYLON THE GREAT” is written on the forehead of a demonic beast. Gaga therefore contextualizes gossip as both an evil thing and a dysfunctional form of communication. Celebrities—artists, particularly—are subject to loads of toxic gossip throughout their time in fame. Gaga herself has battled gossipy rumors about anything from her romances to her gender identity to her use of imagery. ". Genius lyrics webpage" So she's basically saying we only have the weekend so you might as well live it up, fck the haters and do what you want. I understand all of that but it’s nonsense when you put it all together lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah X 5,249 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Babylon has such weird filler lyrics it's hard to get into completely.. "here's the thing... what you bring...what you bring...him, you and me" like really girl...it feels like she's saying a lot of nothing. she could've had catchier lyrics like Yes And 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, you and me. That’s three people. That’s where gossip starts. You need at least 3 people for gossiping about each other. She literally sings “him, you and me, that’s gossip”.
