Iridescent Eyes Lyrics

I see your iridescent eyes on burgundy tides

Belladonna waltzes on the shoals where the chloroform skills
she leaves that taste behind that reminds you of days surreal

and she steeps her dreams in desert cactuses in a serenade

And those pasture blades keep howling her name
and those pasture blades keep howling her name

I see your iridescent eyes on burgundy tides

howling her name...
howling her name...

the sanguine autumn leaves
the sanguine autumn leaves

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.

Iridescent Eyes is a song with surrealist impressionist hues. It was one of those songs that just spilled onto the page like an exhale. It came very naturally. It has quite a few references to the ocean. It is a tune about lover who brings you to an enchanting plateau, she is warm & brings you dream like places.. And you awaken from the dream & the lover dissapears... gone. Some of the best moments that you have ever lived vanish completely into the past, and you are entirely okay with that.
