Eclipse
ARLEQUIN Lyrics

The lyrics of ARLEQUIN's song "Eclipse" talk about the singer's battle to attain what they consider to be their ideal self. While the singer works tirelessly on crafting this persona from scratch, they almost seem to enjoy destroying it with their own hands. Despite their hard work, the singer is still affected by a sense of melancholy and indifference in their current state. They struggle to find a reason for this state of being, feeling stuck and unable to move forward. The sky feels like it has closed up around them, mirroring their emotional state. The singer wishes for a reason to continue waiting, but instead, they feel like they're just killing time.

In trying to escape this sense of stagnation, the singer yearns to say goodbye to their current state of being. They want to let go of their old self and let in a new, more idealized version of themselves. However, they feel like they are tied down and choking on their own beliefs. They desperately want someone to acknowledge them for who they truly are, despite their perceived small stature. The singer imagines they could fly high above their current situation, but they are afraid to doubt this fantasy. They pretend to not see anything amiss, even as they wish to escape from their current state of being.
