Emerald Eyes
Grave Digger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a precious girl
In a tragile shell
With a rose coloured skin
And a roses smell
Your long golden hair
Reflecting the light
Your Emerald Eyes
Twinkle like stars in the night
Your smile shines brighter than the sun
Your smile shines brighter than the sun
You are my queen
Choose who is worthy of you
You are my queen
Your warm heart's shining through
You are my queen
I forgive and forget whatever you do
Your body divine
From me you don't hide
The flame of desire
That is burning inside
Your ivory hands
Opened me the gate
To the meaning of life
Where love conquers hate
Your smile shines brighter than the sun
The song "Emerald Eyes" by Grave Digger tells the tragic love story of King Arthur and Guinevere. The song begins by praising Guinevere's beauty - her rose-colored skin, her long golden hair that reflects the light, and her sparkling emerald eyes that twinkle like stars in the night. The song suggests that despite her fragility, she is a precious girl who exudes warmth and passion with a warm heart shining through. As Arthur lays on his deathbed, he sings about how he forgives Guinevere for all that she has done, implying that she has betrayed his trust in the past.
Arthur refers to Guinevere as his queen and considers her to be the most worthy person in his life. However, he acknowledges that she is not necessarily his to keep, opening the possibility that she may have affairs with other men. He accepts that Guinevere's desire for him is as strong as his desire for her, and her body is divine and not something she hides from him. Through their love, Arthur has found the meaning of life where love conquers hate. In the end, the song suggests that their love was worth all the pain.
Overall, "Emerald Eyes" by Grave Digger portrays the undying love between Arthur and Guinevere, which endures despite the trials and tribulations of their relationship.
