Skyscraper is like my own spin on the Tower of Babel story! It’s not just something you find in literature, but in music too! So, in the Bible, there’s this city called Babel where the people were super curious about the afterlife. They wanted to build a tower that could reach heaven and create a city for the whole world. But, they never made it to heaven because God got a bit confused with their communication. You see, everyone spoke the same language and they were all working together on this tower. God saw what they were up to and thought, “If they can do this, there’s no limit to what they can achieve!” So, to mix things up, God scattered them all around and gave them different languages so they couldn’t understand each other anymore. That’s why it’s called Babel, because it was all a big jumble and nobody could make sense of it. So cool, right?

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
