SONG MEANING

Empire es un estallido de pasión donde Shakira compara el amor con fuerzas tan enormes como imperios, estrellas y un incendio forestal. La canción invita a despojarse de miedos y culpas —“Take off all of your skin, shake off all of your sins”— para entregarse sin reservas a una conexión que late con la fuerza conjunta de mundos enteros. Esa intensidad convierte a la pareja en auténticos héroes que se sienten vivos mientras el universo conspira a favor de su unión.

El estribillo afirma que "las estrellas hacen el amor al universo", una imagen que sugiere que este vínculo es tan natural y poderoso como los fenómenos cósmicos. Al repetir "We are alive", Shakira subraya la energía vital que surge cuando dos personas se abrazan con total libertad. En definitiva, Empire celebra la valentía de amar sin límites, convirtiendo cada encuentro en un acontecimiento universal donde el corazón retumba como un imperio en expansión.
