Cover art for Empire lyrics by Jukebox the Ghost

A.) Amazing song and I can't stop listening to it. B.) I don't have much of an interpretation to this song, but I think it has something to do with being guarded with your feelings with the chorus saying "'Cause my heart is my keep" and when the singer says "And you are threatening me" is kinda saying that this girl, I would guess, is threatening these guarded feelings because they are finding some attraction to that person. Kind of like that crazy chaotic mess of feelings you get when you first get a crush on someone. More evidence of this being someone they really like is saying how long they've been waiting for them. I dunno. Those are some of my thoughts. Please someone post something better than this.

And I've a promise to build it's gonna keep...

Should read:

And I've been promised a pill that's gonna keep...

Sorry, wrote that in the wrong spot.
