What I love about this song is that contains enough ambiguity to the point where it can spark imagination, yet if one pays enough attention to the overall theme of empires as whole can clearly understand what personal issue Ronan is addressing. For most people, it is clear empires clearly represents a very pivtol stage in Ronan's development as a writer and a thinker, a state most of us go through, where one begins to highly question their conceptions ideas and ideology. Questions that are often asked, is this truly what I believe? Has this been imposed on me? Does this make sense if you really think it out? To me, Dark angel represents perhaps one of the most critical areas of thought during this stage of questioning, the battle for the authentic self. The narrator is Ronan's authentic self. Pretty every part of the song makes perfect sense with this conception.
