Empire Ants Lyrics

Oh joy's arise
The sun has come again to hold you

I agree with the guy who said little dragon's part is about infant work (not only in china)

but also, i would add my reckon about the first part, that slow and calming one:

i see those words telling us that we, and i risk to say we do it a lot, forget too much of our truthful dreams, things we really wanted to do
the lead singer sings:

"and if the whole world is crashing down
fall throught soace out of mind with me
where emptyness de e leave behing on warm air rising
those all the shadows
all the weight"

i do guess it's clearly calling someone to set himself free and start enjoying life as much as possible, no matter what is happening around

but it's just my opnion, tough

i don't wanna fight, just trying to help

thanks for reading :)
