"Empire Ants" karya Gorillaz adalah sebuah lagu yang menyuarakan tema kesedihan dan kehilangan yang mendalam. Liriknya yang puitis mengajak pendengar untuk merenungkan sifat sementara kehidupan dan menemukan penghiburan di tengah kehampaan waktu. Dengan metafora kuat seperti "jatuhan kerajaan alkohol" dan "bayangan yang hilang jauh", lagu ini menyoroti perjalanan emosional yang penuh gejolak yang menyertai kehilangan dan kesedihan. Sementara lonceng polyphonic memberikan nuansa melankolis, suara Little Dragon menambahkan semburat harapan yang lembut, mengingatkan pendengar akan ketahanan dan kekuatan yang dapat ditemukan dalam kenangan yang tersisa.
Empire Ants (Feat. Little Dragon) Lyrics
Gorillaz
Oh joy's arise
The sun has come again too hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the moving
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
Its all around you, out here
And if the whole world is crashing down
Fall through space out of mind again
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Lose all the shadows far away
The falling alcohol empire, is here to hold you
Ruling out and haunted till it sinks
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it sore
My little dream, working the machine
Soothe like a wave
In plastic fall
Closing in on the moon
From where we are
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it sore
My little dream, working the machine
Soothe like a wave
In plastic fall
Closing in on the moon
From where we are
The sun has come again too hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the moving
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
Its all around you, out here
And if the whole world is crashing down
Fall through space out of mind again
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Lose all the shadows far away
The falling alcohol empire, is here to hold you
Ruling out and haunted till it sinks
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it sore
My little dream, working the machine
Soothe like a wave
In plastic fall
Closing in on the moon
From where we are
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it sore
My little dream, working the machine
Soothe like a wave
In plastic fall
Closing in on the moon
From where we are
