Emerald Flares Lyrics

So she says she’s done being a lightbulb
Going off and on
I should be careful
Before I see myself as a flourescent
Before I see myself attached somewhere

So I took a knife to my green eyes
Samson’s little hell, I go dead blind
Back of the brain, iron blood lives
Sullen in a high-backed chair

But how many gentlemen does it take to screw you in?
I will put ice in your glass but I will not pour you a drink
Say those hands didn’t belong to any man
You have no idea the predicament we’re in

I read a little book on the origin of man
It put me right to sleep as only those things can
And I had a dream
You were an orangutan
You had emerald flares in both your eyes

But how many gentlemen does it take to screw you in?
I will put ice in your glass but I will not pour you a drink
Say those hands didn’t belong to any man
You have no idea the predicament we’re in

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.
