Emerald Star Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here by the lake, what a vision you are
In the light of the emerald star
I’ve come for you, my love
Through a window in the dark
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
If I lost you, I think I would die
Was everything you said just a lie?
[Chorus]
You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
With the moonlight in your eyes
You’re the brightest star in all of the sky
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
[Verse 2]
Oh, what a jewel are you
And, oh, what a fool am I
For squandering my love
On an emerald in the sky
Way out here in the void
Is the loneliest place to die
When everything you loved is a lie
[Chorus]
You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
You’re an emerald in the sky
You light up the night by blinkin’ your eyes
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
Here by the lake, what a vision you are
In the light of the emerald star
I’ve come for you, my love
Through a window in the dark
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
If I lost you, I think I would die
Was everything you said just a lie?
You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
With the moonlight in your eyes
You’re the brightest star in all of the sky
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
Oh, what a jewel are you
And, oh, what a fool am I
For squandering my love
On an emerald in the sky
Way out here in the void
Is the loneliest place to die
When everything you loved is a lie
You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
You’re an emerald in the sky
You light up the night by blinkin’ your eyes
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies

In life, It seems that we find more purpose in the pursuit of things rather than the thing itself. Once we reach our goal, It's like OK.....what's next? Often times, We come off feeling as unfulfilled as we did before we started the pursuit.
And for the main character, It happens when he finally reaches the Emerald Star (his ex). It's bad enough that she still wants nothing to do with him but now that his journey is over with, now that he has finally found her, he feels just as incomplete as he did in the first song of the album. He's still just as lost because his purpose, once again, is gone.
