Once an Empire Lyrics
I wouldn't want to get fucked by,
A kangaroo in any position,
We need to block it, block it, it's spongy,
Your saviour's only picking on you,
You got your foot half way up your dick,
I bet you ten pOund it wouldn't fit,
I was wrong so you must be rich,
Your girl once an empire,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,
I paint my thoughts with a hairbrush,
Jet black is a delicate operation,
My mirror reflects all it sees,
Come in at the end of my empire,
You got your foot half way up your dick,
I bet you ten pOund it wouldn't fit,
I was wrong so you must be rich,
Your girl once an empire,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,
Tonight,
Your girl once an empire,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,
A kangaroo in any position,
We need to block it, block it, it's spongy,
Your saviour's only picking on you,
I bet you ten pOund it wouldn't fit,
I was wrong so you must be rich,
Your girl once an empire,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,
Jet black is a delicate operation,
My mirror reflects all it sees,
Come in at the end of my empire,
I bet you ten pOund it wouldn't fit,
I was wrong so you must be rich,
Your girl once an empire,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,
Your girl once an empire,
She lacked some fluid motion all her circles came in squares,
No community,
No community,
You're one of a kind,
One of a kind sister,
Let's break that spell tonight,

These lyrics are awesome haha
For me it's hard to understand this text correctly. I'm from Germany and my English isn't as good as I could translate this text that it makes sence.. It would be great if someone could explain the meaning to me. So maybe it is easier for me to understand.
@LiMaMa I hope you still use this account! I’m a native English speaker, and I stay in a town only about 20 miles from where Biffy Clyro are from, and I’m a HUGE fan of theirs. This song has always been a huge mystery to me. Not a lot of Biffy Clyro lyrics make complete sense, but this one has always totally baffled me. In 2018 I was waiting outside a concert venue to see Kendrick Lamar and I look over and see Simon Neil, the singer of Biffy Clyro, standing nearby in the queue and I thought “This is it, this is...

This song has always been a huge mystery to me. Not a lot of Biffy Clyro lyrics make complete sense, but this one has always totally baffled me. In 2018 I was waiting outside a concert venue to see Kendrick Lamar and I look over and see Simon Neil, the singer of Biffy Clyro, standing nearby in the queue and I thought “This is it, this is my chance to ask him.” So I walk up to him and without any introduction I say to him “Hey, I’m sorry but I have to ask what the fuck the lyrics in Once An Empire mean!” (Scottish people are usually this casual with strangers) and he turns round to me and laughs, then says “That’s not for now.” It’s now 6 years later and I still lay awake at night wondering what the lyrics mean.
