Eclipse
清水翔太 (Shota Shimizu) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately you never seem to call
I won't tell you how to live, to live your life
But it ain't right
Something in the way you're looking at me
And I, I can feel the change
Girl you think you got me fooled but I can tell
Trying to forget about you
I'm caught up in the past
I'm not too blind to see, girl I know you're playing me
But just a part of you is better than nothing at all
That's all I want
Long nights, I'm tossing and I'm turning
Darkness, the thoughts they fill my mind
Got me looking like a fool, you done me wrong
But I it's alright
I'm not feeling you the way I used to
But you got me on my knees
Girl you know
I'll never leave you, you know I won't
Trying to forget about you
But it just seems I'm caught up in the past
I'm not too blind to see, girl I know you're playing me
But just a part of you is better than nothing at all
That's all I want
Don't let me down, I need you girl
Don't make a fool of me
Just one last chance
I'm begging you
Baby I'll make, I'll make you see
Trying to forget about you
But it just seems
I'm caught up in the past
I'm not too blind to see, girl I know you're playing me
But just a part of you is better than nothing at all
That's all I want
Wanna forget about you
But it just seems
I'm caught up in the past
I'm not too blind to see, girl I know you're playing me
But just a part of you is better than nothing at all
That's all I want
The lyrics of Shota Shimizu's song "Eclipse" depict a complicated romantic relationship filled with mixed signals and longing. The singer acknowledges that although his love interest claims to think of him, she has been distant and does not reach out to him anymore. He expresses his understanding that he cannot control how she chooses to live her life but feels that something has changed in the way she looks at him. Despite his awareness that she is playing with his emotions, he admits that even having a small part of her is better than having nothing at all, as that is all he desires.
The song portrays the singer's struggle with the aftermath of their relationship. He confesses to sleepless nights filled with thoughts of her, feeling like a fool for still holding on even after being wronged. Although his feelings for her have waned, he finds himself unable to fully detach from the past. He acknowledges his awareness of her playing him but knows that he cannot leave her. The plea for one last chance reflects his desperate hope that she will finally see the pain she is causing and give their love a chance to flourish once again.

Although you say you're thinking of me
Despite your claim that you're thinking of me
Lately you never seem to call
Recently, you haven't been calling me
I won't tell you how to live, to live your life
I won't dictate how you should live your life
But it ain't right
But it's not fair
Something in the way you're looking at me
There's something about the way you're looking at me
And I, I can feel the change
And I can sense the change
Girl you think you got me fooled but I can tell
You believe you've deceived me, but I can see through it
Trying to forget about you
Attempting to erase you from my mind
But it just seems I'm caught up in the past
Yet, it seems like I'm still trapped in the past
I'm not too blind to see, girl I know you're playing me
I'm not oblivious, girl, I know you're toying with me
But just a part of you is better than nothing at all
However, having just a part of you is preferable to having nothing
That's all I want
That's all I desire
Long nights, I'm tossing and I'm turning
During long nights, I'm restless and unable to sleep
Darkness, the thoughts they fill my mind
Darkness engulfs my mind with endless thoughts
Got me looking like a fool, you done me wrong
You've made me look foolish, you've treated me poorly
But I it's alright
But despite that, I'm okay
I'm not feeling you the way I used to
I no longer feel the same way about you
But you got me on my knees
Yet, you have me pleading
Girl you know
Girl, you're aware
I'll never leave you, you know I won't
I'll never abandon you, you know that
Don't let me down, I need you girl
Don't disappoint me, I need you, girl
Don't make a fool of me
Don't make me look foolish
Just one last chance
Just give me one final opportunity
I'm begging you
I'm pleading with you
Baby I'll make, I'll make you see
Baby, I'll make you understand
Wanna forget about you
I want to forget about you
But it just seems I'm caught up in the past
Yet, it feels like I'm still entangled in the past
That's all I want
That's all I desire
