Burke Shelley mentioned that guitarist Tony Bourge had wanted to write a song about the historical figure Napoleon. "We had this idea that we'd do it in two parts in order to pun on his name," said Burke.
The song itself is a reflection on power, ambition, and the human drive to make a lasting impact. The song weaves together themes of hubris, legacy, and the eternal quest for significance, drawing parallels between the speaker and historical figures like Napoleon Bonaparte. Through its evocative imagery and introspective lyrics, Budgie's song invites you to contemplate the complexities of ambition in a world filled with challenges and opportunities.
