Empire
Kasabian Lyrics

Too much information
There's an excess of information being thrown around

Well I said you're good for nothing
The singer is expressing disdain for someone's worth or value

Come on to the back
Inviting someone to follow them to some secluded area

I said your needles count for something
Suggesting that what someone considers insignificant is actually of some importance

Guess I'd better sell you now
Implying that the artist is planning to exploit someone

Guess I'd be around
The singer will stick around for whatever reason

Singing for your questions
The singer is providing answers for someone else's questions through song

But you've stolen all of my answers
Someone has taken credit for the artist's solutions or ideas

Too much entertainment drove
An excess of distractions or amusements have caused something

And that's not all the colour
There's more to the situation than what meets the eye

Tell me that you've seen a ghost
Asking if someone has had a paranormal experience

I'll tell you what to fear the most
The artist will reveal the most frightening thing

Stop!
A command to immediately cease something from happening

I said it's happening again!
The singer is witnessing a recurrence of something negative or undesirable

We're all wasting away!
Everyone is deteriorating or deteriorating due to something in particular

Stitch your part of counterfeit
Make your contribution, even if it's fake or imitative

I said your far out here
Addressing someone who is out of touch with a situation

Taking at the roads
Traveling or gaining experience

Where you're taken for the simple codes
Being mistaken for something straightforward or easy to understand

Swimming with the fishes
Being submerged or caught up in a dangerous situation

While the serpent waves his tongue
A dangerous or deceptive person is speaking

With a belly full of splinters
Someone has done physical or emotional harm to the artist

Now you see that I'm the one
The singer now has the upper hand or is in control
