Empire
Miranda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I rule above the pyre
With my sword in hand
I feel it rising higher
Up above my head
I won't let go
Go of what we had
Before the gold
Oh you are my fire
And all I know is burning feels like home
Oh in my Empire
I will never walk alone

I can feel the sun beating
Down upon my neck
But no the heat won't move me

Oh you know I'm wanted
And you left me feeling stronger than before
Oh in my Empire
I will never walk alone

Mmmm

I'm taken
With every motion that you make and all you do
Need your fire
Don't leave me
I only ever wanted better things for you
Understand
Oh





My Empire, oh
My Empire, oh

Overall Meaning

In Miranda's song Empire, the lyrics depict an image of a ruler, with a sword in hand, standing above a pyre. The ruler feels empowered and invigorated as they rise higher and higher, but they also hold onto the memories of their past before the pursuit of wealth and power. The chorus speaks of the ruler's fire, as they declare that "burning feels like home." In their empire, they feel a kinship with this fire, and they will never walk alone.


The second stanza, starting with "I can feel the sun beating" suggests that the ruler is used to feeling the heat, both from the outside world and from the desire for power. However, they are unshaken, as they feel they have become stronger with every obstacle they have faced. The song seems to suggest that the ruler is in a position of power, but they are not alone, as they have someone by their side who has made them stronger.


At its core, Empire is a song about power, strength, and the importance of allies. The lyrics illustrate the image of someone rising to greatness, but understanding that they cannot do it alone. The chorus in particular speaks to the idea of fire, implying that the pursuit of power can be both destructive and invigorating.
