Lyrics
You forget your place
Implying a loss of understanding or respect for one's position or status
So let me remind you
Asserting authority or superiority to re-establish boundaries or expectations
What I want I take
Expressing a sense of entitlement to what is desired
And I pay no mind to
Disregard for others' opinions or reactions
The way you look at me
Noticing the way others observe or regard the speaker
Like I'm a radiant masterpiece
Feeling highly valued or exceptional
Cause I'm the last thing that you'll see
Emphasizing dominance or power over others
As you're falling to your knees
Suggesting control over someone's downfall
I'm the Empress
Identifying as an Empress, a figure of authority and power
I'll leave you restless
Causing unease or agitation, disrupting peace
And tear your heart out with my hands
Inflicting emotional pain or distress
You're just a mortal you don't understand
Highlighting the speaker's perceived superiority over mortals
The power in my presence
Acknowledging the influence or impact of the speaker's presence
Devouring your essence
Consuming or absorbing the essence or core of an individual
You'll cower at the empress
Instilling fear or submission in others when confronted
When the hunt begins
Referring to a predatory or controlling nature during a pursuit
If I act superior
Asserting superiority due to inherent qualities or status
It's because I am
Claiming superiority not just in appearance but in character or essence
Not just on the exterior
Exercising control or influence over someone or a situation
Got you in my hands
Holding power over someone or having them under control
You're just a mortal
Reiterating the contrast between the speaker's power and the mortal's vulnerability
Flawed, ordinary, fragile
Pointing out flaws and fragility in mortals compared to the speaker's perceived strength
Soul for me to bury
Indicating a potential threat or danger to the mortal's soul
Don't forget to breath
Reminder to maintain composure or calmness in the speaker's presence
When you're staring right at me
Advising not to be overwhelmed or breathless when faced with the speaker
I'm the Empress
Reiterating the Empress identity and its effects
I'll leave you restless
Causing restlessness or unease in those under the speaker's influence
And tear your heart out with my hands
Causing emotional distress or pain deliberately
You're just a mortal you don't understand
Emphasizing the disparity between the mortal and the speaker in understanding power
The power in my presence
Acknowledging the impact of the speaker's presence and aura
Devouring your essence
Conveying the consuming or overwhelming nature of the speaker's influence
You'll cower at the empress
Inducing fear or submission in the face of the Empress
When the hunt begins
Referring to an impending pursuit or exercise of power
As much as it hurts me
Expressing the pain of maintaining control or power over the world
This world is mine
Claiming ownership or dominance over the world
As long as they need me
Willingness to sacrifice for the benefit of others or a cause
I'll give my life
Commitment to give one's life for a greater purpose or need
An image of radiance before you eyes
Creating an enduring image of beauty or power in the observer's mind
I'll be the last thing you see when you die
Asserting the speaker's presence as the final sight before death
Before you die
Reiterating the significance of the speaker's presence before death
Before you die
Emphasizing the finality or inevitability of death in relation to the speaker
