Bad Religion - Skyscraper lyrics



Uploaded by: badreligionlyrics
Video Description:
(words and music by Mr. Brett)
Babel is a city mentioned in The Bible in which the citizens longed so much to know what the afterlife was like, that they attempted to build a tower that could reach heaven ("we'll build a city with a tower for the world"). They never reached heaven and were forced to stop building the tower because of a miscommunication problem with God. What happened was that all the people in the world spoke the same language and some were building this great tower. God saw what was going on and thought that if they were able to do that, that nothing would be impossible for them. The story is really the explaination of why there are different races and languages because God scattered them around and gave them different languages so they didnt understand each other, hence the name Babel..because it was confused and no one made sense of it. In the Brazil concert Bobby was asked about why they hadn't played Skyscraper and Anesthesia and he said it's because the vocals are too high and after 8 months of tour Greg just can't s
ing it anymore.

No Skyscraper is a metaphor for the Tower of Babel. Read the INFO. It was this Tower that the people of Babel started to make so that they could reach Heaven but God didnt want them up there so he fucked up the whole thing and made everyone talk in a different language so they couldnt finish the tower.
Take a History class will ya, or read the info that badreligionlyrics made for you.

Greg Graffin: "I am convinced that, in time, as we abolisch the myth that truth is something larger than our naturalistic investigations, fewer and fewer people will find it necessary to subscribe to the supernaturalistic." (Is belief in God good, bad or irrelevant?)

History ?... lol
Its a fucking myth....
the town was real and maybee even the tower itself. But there is no god who destroyed it.
And if chinese,african,european people realy all come from babel... that would be called evolution... doesnt it ?! or how do you explain the differences in races.
Even though its a ... ( 4 months ago by maverickxpunk)
Even though its a myth its still part of History. If you take world history half the stuff you learn is based off of myth. I agree with the other part of your comment. I dont believe in a god and the fact that it is yes evoulution. But next time be more carfeull about what you say because not everyone believes what we do.
the story of bable ... ( 3 months ago by nerfthegop)
the story of bable is 5th generation version of an older story telling the same thing only the 1st version we know of makes perfect sense when put to gether with this song.
Bable was atlantis ... ( 3 months ago by nerfthegop)
Bable was atlantis (not saying they think that" and the reason god was acting like a child "I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out and play You had your revenge"

that god was never divine. i do not think that babel was real or that atlantis was. just that the song is telling people why would your god do this. eygptian priest gave the story of atlantis to the greeks, the eygyptian priest when asked where he learned it was told from an earlier society. that has nothing to do with the song but is something to think about. the song quote the bible so i was giving a bit of a back story on some thing most people dont know not saying it happend.
You are ... ( 3 months ago by nerfthegop)
You are misunderstanding me. my point is that we need to explore our past to free ourselves from the same thing happening over and over. if we close our minds then we might as well just say oh well god will lead me. The things that greg talks about discovering are not limited to biology, it will be a prescience of many lost things known to early man. as well as other things just learned, and things never known.
lastly i didnt mean ... ( 3 months ago by nerfthegop)
lastly i didnt mean that if they climed to heaven they would see god wasnt divine it was a outlandish story (maybe based on some fact) to explain the complexity of the break up of man and How such an awesome god of pure divinity could cause such pain and duality in his creatures. i basicly meant that if they didnt the priest wouldnt of been able to keep the lie as the one and full truth.
Eh, the whole story ... ( 3 months ago by TheDeathSage)
Eh, the whole story seems like another bible story. I guarantee that they started building a tower, it fell down under its own weight and they thought god did it.
I always considered ... ( 3 months ago by thenoblelie)
I always considered this song as Nimrod's response to God for destroying the tower of Babel and scattering the people of the world. He's calling God out.
Myth is not literal history, but its allegories do reflect the spirit of that time and are usually veiled, jumbled esoteric references to real events, and many myths have timeless lessons and resonance in them.
Most bible stories ... ( 2 months ago by metalhead91)
Most bible stories are parables in themselves. The Tower of Babel is essentially a parable detailing what happens those who attempt to best God, while explaining what the ancient people thought was an odd phenomenon. They are scattered and their efforts are thwarted. It was an attempt to say "Thou shalt not test the Lord", while still explaining how the people spoke different tongues. Most myths come from people trying to explain phenomena in nature without scientifical evidence(sound familiar?)
