This song is definitely about the movie of the same name (as well as the American remake "Let Me In"), like you and others have stated. As for the part about the "empire", I believe it's a metaphor for the defenses Eli/Abby set up for herself early in her relationship with Oscar/Owen. When they first met in the courtyard, she told Oscar/Owen that they couldn't be friends and that's just how it was going to be. On their second meeting, she tells him that she wants to be left alone and orders him to leave immediately after seeing him. She's setting up defenses to keep him from getting close to her because she knows what she is and doesn't want him to get involved. With that in mind, the chorus makes much more sense IMO. |

First of all, this song is f-ing amazing, and definitely my favorite song of the album. Moving on, I also saw this song as a rejection of a higher power, as the world of the living is commonly seen in Christianity as a "waiting room" of sorts where people wait to die to get into Heaven. But this song (as seen by the lines "There is nothing above, there is nothing below/Heaven and Hell lives in all of us") is spreading the notion that they're, for lack of a better phrase, waiting for nothing. Instead of cruising through life with the belief that "when I die, I'll go to Heaven and everything will make sense", this song is a call for people to get off their asses and start making the world we live in now the Heaven we're waiting to die for. I am also an active atheist, btw. |
