How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Who is Emily?
Genius Answer

Emily is a fictional character created for the purposes of this song. It is possible she is a metaphor for something, or maybe a person in her own.

Alternatively, she could be Emily from Faulker’s book, A Rose For Emily. My Chem previously wrote a track about this tale, titled “To The End.”
