Empire
Solis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Falling in love with a god
Never fairs well for the mortal
I know this, but can't resist you

cm I looking to be cursed
Or be promised youth eternal?
c paradise, like he describes
No way the legends they told were false
cll of my prayers have been answered
He said

Your eyes could topple empires
Make me set the whole world on fire
cin't that the way some poet would say
I'm the only one in his eyes?
So why does he keep looking to the sky?

Holding your heart for true love
Just might leave you starved and lonely
I wonder, pulled asunder now

Wasn't looking for the world
Just wanted someone to hold me
Weaving close, intricate prose

Hoping the landing is worth the fall
Heading towards a sweet disaster
He said

Your eyes could topple empires
Make me set the whole world on fire
cin't that the way some poet would say
I'm the only one in his eyes?
So why does he keep looking to the sky?

Didn't want to believe
He'd fall to earth for me
But there's a gold string connecting us
What fates impose, we must abide
Who are we to resist both wind and tide?
He said

Your eyes could topple empires
Make me set the whole world on fire
cint that the way some poet would say
I'm the only one in his eyes?
Baby, it wasn't a lie

Your eyes could topple empires
Make me come alive and drown the whole world in fire
cint that the way a lover would say




I'm the only one in his eyes?
Now I'm a constellation in his sky

Overall Meaning

In Solis's song "Empire," the lyrics explore the themes of love, temptation, and the consequences of falling for someone extraordinary. The singer is aware of the risks involved in falling in love with a god-like figure, acknowledging that it never ends well for mortals. However, despite this knowledge, they find themselves unable to resist the irresistible attraction they feel towards this person.


The singer questions their own intentions, wondering if they are seeking a curse or the promise of eternal youth. They are drawn by the prospect of a paradise that the god-like figure describes. The lyrics suggest that the legends or stories they've heard about this person may not be false, as all of their prayers seem to have been answered. The god-like figure tells them that their eyes have the power to topple empires and ignite the entire world. This idea of the singer being the only one in the god's eyes contrasts with the god continually looking up at the sky, hinting at a sense of longing or a feeling of being incomplete.


The second verse focuses on the singer's perspective and their desires for love and companionship. They express a longing for someone to hold them, implying that their aspirations were not to conquer the world but simply to find emotional connection and support. Despite their awareness of the potential loneliness and hardship that come with holding someone's heart for true love, they are willing to take the risk. They hope that the eventual outcome justifies the potential fall, referring to it as a sweet disaster.


The bridge of the song further examines the singer's initial doubts about the god-like figure's feelings for them. They didn't want to believe that this extraordinary being would genuinely fall to earth for them. However, they find solace in the realization that there is a deep connection between them, symbolized by a metaphorical gold string. The lyrics also emphasize the idea of fate, asserting that they must abide by what it imposes, and resist the natural course of events.


In the final chorus, the singer acknowledges the power their eyes hold and how it can ignite passion and intensity. They feel alive and capable of drowning the world in their love. The reference to being a constellation in the god-like figure's sky implies that they have become a significant presence in their life.
