“Emerald Star”, as the final track of the album, marks the main character’s realization that the girl – his long-lost love that he wants to save from the mysterious drug Vide Noir – does not need his help, and would rather stay intoxicated than reciprocate his love.
[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
