Eclipse
Beth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la Luna sigue al Sol.
Y no se encuentran nunca,
igual que tú y que yo.
La noche sigue al día
como el frío sigue al calor
y yo estoy tras tu nuca y tú tras mi corazón.
dibujando un cero, buscando sin encontrarnos.
Sin sentido en una noria de pirados
dibujado un cero no te puedo dar la mano.
Hay un eclipse de ti en mi Luna
hay un eclipse de ti..
Hay un eclipse de ti en mi Luna
hay un eclipse de ti..
Como se vuelve negro el cielo cuando la pena vuela al viento
tú te vas y entonces yo vuelvo
cada uno con su lamento.
Hay un eclipse de ti en mi Luna
tu Sol con manchas y ojos negros
me sigue y no me encuentra nunca
igual que tu y yo no podemos.
Dando vueltas en un círculo cerrado,
dibujando un cero, buscando sin encontrarnos.
Sin sentido en una noria de pirados
dibujado un cero no te puedo dar la mano.
Hay un eclipse de ti en mi Luna
hay un eclipse de ti..
Hay un eclipse de ti en mi Luna
hay un eclipse de ti..
Hay un eclipse mojado de espuma,
hay un eclipse por ti..
Hay un eclipse de oro y fortuna,
hay un oclipse de mí..
Hay un eclipse de doce a una,
hay un eclipse de sí..
The lyrics of Beth's song Eclipse describe the idea of two opposing forces, such as the sun and the moon, constantly chasing each other but never quite meeting. This theme is extended to the relationship between two people who are mutually attracted to one another, but who are unable to fully connect for some reason. The words "Dando vueltas en un círculo cerrado, dibujando un cero, buscando sin encontrarnos" (Going round and round in a closed circle, drawing a zero, seeking without finding each other) paint a picture of the frustration and futility of love that cannot be realized. These ideas are reinforced with the imagery of an eclipse, a celestial event where two celestial bodies 'meet', but where one obscures the light of the other.
As the lyrics progress, the singer describes the emotions felt by both parties when they are separated. The lines "Como se vuelve negro el cielo cuando la pena vuela al viento, tú te vas y entonces yo vuelvo cada uno con su lamento" (How the sky turns black when sorrow flies on the wind, you leave and I return, each with our own lament) express the sadness and pain of longing for someone who is not there. The singer longs for the other, who is like a sun with spots and black eyes chasing her around, but never quite finding her.
Overall, the lyrics of Eclipse by Beth articulate the feeling of a love that cannot be fulfilled, but continues to burn bright despite its futility. The imagery of celestial bodies, in particular an eclipse, adds a touch of beauty and poeticism to the lyrics that makes them more powerful.
