This was a big turning point in his career, since Chris Lake then signed this track on his highly acclaimed label Rising Trax. At that time the name Beltek was getting more and more exposed around the world and especially in his home country, Slovenia. It didnt took long before the main man in Slovenia's electronic music production, Umek, contacted and asked Beltek to produce some tracks together. The result of this proved to be more than succesful, since only after one month of their co-operation in the studio, they already signed two EP's for Armin Van Buuren's label, Armada. Later on Beltek made another astonishing track called " Kenta", which again impressed some very big names in the scene including Tiësto, who immediatly signed the track on his Black Hole label and also featured it in his famous compilation "In search of sunrise 7-Asia" .

Eclipse
Beltek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
Turnaround
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "turn around" which signifies the desire for the person to come back or to turn back to the relationship. The singer is tired of being alone and is scared that they have missed out on the best years of their life. The singer sees hope in the person's eyes and believes that they can make it right together.
