The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Babilon System" by the artist "Voo Voo"

The song "Babilon System" by the Polish band Voo Voo is a passionate call to destroy the old world ("Babylon System") and build a new one based on awareness, music, and unity.

The image of the river is key in the song and carries several meanings:

Obstacles on the path to change: "How many great rivers we have to cross" – a metaphor for the difficulties and trials that await on the road to freedom.

The flow of time and historical events: The river as a symbol of time that moves relentlessly forward, carrying away the old and bringing the new.

Borders and separation: Rivers often act as natural barriers separating people. Crossing rivers symbolizes breaking down those barriers and uniting.

The "Babylon System" embodies all the evils of the modern world: greed, war, exploitation. "Golden river flows oil through the pipe" – an allegory of how natural resources are used to enrich the few ("Cursed Babylon is drunk with that oil").

Music is a force capable of destroying the old world ("The end of the Babylon System, conscious music will open the doors to the future") and uniting people ("Only music will overcome what divides us"). Voo Voo see themselves at the forefront of this movement ("Warriors of light on stage! ... 'Haidamaky' and 'Voo Voo' on stage!").

"Haidamaky" and "Koliivshchyna" are references to Ukrainian history, symbolizing the struggle for freedom and justice.

The second part of the song becomes more personal. "Many meetings are left behind, and we will meet again" is perhaps an appeal to the listeners, like-minded people with whom the group shares its path. "Each one of them is like dynamite" – a metaphor for how encounters with other people change us, make us think, evoke emotions.

"The difference between us" is what separates us, but music can overcome these differences. "Music everywhere meets the same fate" is perhaps a hint that music speaks a universal language understood by all.

Overall, "Babilon System" is a manifesto song, a call to fight for a better world where there is no place for greed, violence, and division. Music here acts as a force capable of uniting and changing the world.

Jak dużo mamy do przejścia wielkich rzek [4x]

Войни світла на сцені!

Кінець Вавілонській Системі,

Музика свідома відкриє майбутнього двері.

Золотою рікою тече ропа рурою.

Проклятий Вавілон п'яний тією ропою.

Кінець тій системі,

Гайдамаки й Ву Ву на сцені!

Музика свідома відкриє майбутнього двері.

Світова гайдамаччина, світова коліївщина.

Кінець Вавілонській Системі! Гайдамаки й Ву Ву на сцені!

Як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Ой, як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Ой, як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Wiele spotkań już za nami

I spotkamy się jeszcze raz.

A każde z nich jak dynamit

I co chwilę tyle zmienia w nas.

Niby różnic miedzy nami wiele

I budują między nami most,

Lecz muzyka wygra z tym co dzieli,

Bo muzyka spotyka wszędzie ten sam los...

Як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Ой, як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Як багато рік нам треба перейти...

Ой, як багато рік нам треба перейти...
