Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins
And give them to me
Close up, let me back yea
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Wooo wooo
And I'm like woo woo
And I'm like woo woo
And I'm like woo
I will follow you down wherever you go
I, I'm, baby, I'm bound to you and do you know?
Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats
Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Woo woo
We are alive
Woo woo
And I'm like woo woo
We are alive
Woo
I'm just gonna raise my head
Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close
Like the empires of the world unite
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night
We are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like and I'm like and I'm like
Woo woo
And I'm like woo woo
And I'm like woo woo
And I'm like woo
The opening lines of Shakira's (www.BehMusic.com) song Empire are poetic in nature, urging the listener to shed all of their outer layers and reveal their true selves. The next line encourages the listener to give all of their sins over to Shakira, as if to say that she will accept them and take them away. Shakira then asks to be allowed back in, to become the hero in the listener's story. The chorus speaks of how love can bring people together, much like the way empires can unite under one banner. The comparison of stars making love to the universe is a beautiful metaphor that evokes images of the cosmos, unconnected but all part of something larger. The song speaks to the power of love and how it can set us free.
Throughout Empire, the use of metaphors is prevalent, as is the beauty of the imagery evoked by the lyrics. The song has a driving beat that is entrancing, and Shakira's powerful vocals only add to the overall effect. The song is an anthem for lovers everywhere, speaking to the universal truth that love can bring people together and make them feel alive. Overall, Empire is a song that inspires hope and encourages us to embrace our true selves and let love in.

I used to share this video with my spouse. It was our favorite song. He died at the beginning if the COVID 19 outbreak. I had not listened to it until today because it was too painful. But I am learning to live without the love of my life. I have to thank Shakira for such a beautiful song that meant so much to us.
