Emerald Lyrics

Confess what you crave
a life without pain
you'd kill for the taste
But the hurt still remains

Still they don't know who you are

Just be still my emerald
I'll be waiting for you
Do exactly what your told
I'll be waiting for you

Ashamed by the threats
you pierce the embrace
afraid and alone
In a dark lonely place

did you alway want to be
did they try to steal your soul
did they hurt you with deceit
can't you come in from the cold
bestill my emerald
I'll be waiting for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Very haunting song... I'm curious about "emerald," though. Does it refer to a precious gem, or a real name?

I adore this song.

It could be about a person with green eyes.

I think this song has something in common with the song Release on the same album. It talks about a difficult relationship, but this time he want her to stay with him. The women is "attack" by something or someone, she has problems, maybe an illness or something, but he stills wants to wait for her. Hard to explain...

Someone has an idea ?

I agree with the green eyes, or maybe he just wants to refer to emerald as a precious thing.

I think "emerald" is an endearment, either due to eye color or indicating the person is precious (I lean toward the latter). I also believe this is a song about telling a love interest that he will wait for her to be able to leave a bad situation/state of mind she is in (several types come to mind). He is advising her to do what she can to cope until she is able to leave. He is giving her strength with the knowledge that he understands and will be there for her when she is ready.
