Empire
Delta Heavy Lyrics

The opening lines of Delta Heavy's song "Empire" about Time bring to mind the idea that time is fleeting and it waits for no one. We do not have a second chance and have only the present moment and the next to achieve whatever we want to achieve in life. However, everything we want to achieve will come crashing down with everything standing in our way, meaning achieving a goal is not easy. The lyricist tells us that the purpose of life is not found in the laws of nature but it's up to us to create it. As we journey into the vast emptiness of the universe, we seek fellowship amongst ours, and we must recognize that we are the architects of the future.

The final line emphasizes the song's central theme, calling it "our empire". Here, the lyricist is representing success as an empire, one that we have to build and maintain ourselves. He calls upon everyone to take responsibility for their actions and create meaning out of their lives. The song characterizes that we hold our destiny in our hands and we must do what it takes to fulfill our dreams and find true meaning in life. This could mean overcoming our fears, fighting through adversity, and daring to be different. The song gives a positive notion of the endless possibilities that lie ahead of us, and how we can shape them by making the right calls, pushing our limits and creating an empire.
