Song Meaning of “Son of Babylon” by Bloodbound
The song “Son of Babylon” by BloodBound speaks of the struggles and defeats of a figure in the Bible, Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. This song speaks of the power and pride of Nebuchadnezzar as ruler, but also his downfall and madness. The song speaks to the power of the Lord and how no one can withstand it no matter how powerful or grand. The song talks of how Nebuchadnezzar was humbled by the Lord and how his pride and hubris would not be tolerated. The chorus’s message speaks of how Nebuchadnezzar was cursed and his power reduced, but still carried the title of a King with pride even in his downfall. It speaks of the power of the Lord and the message that comes with it teaching all of us that no matter how grand we become, the Lord is always greater. The struggle for power, pride, and wisdom all come together to show how Nebuchadnezzar was humbled but remained proud, also giving us a lesson in the nature and price of power.
