Eclipse
COCINA - Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
In Pink Floyd's song "Eclipse," the lyrics delve into the expansive and intricate tapestry of human existence, encapsulating all aspects of life and its complexities. The opening lines, "All that you touch and all that you see, all that you taste, all you feel," emphasize the sensory experience of the world around us, suggesting that every action and perception we encounter is interconnected and significant. This paints a vivid picture of how our senses shape our reality and perception of the world.
The subsequent verses continue to explore the dualities of life, touching upon love and hate, trust and distrust, creation and destruction, and the choices we make in how we navigate the world. The lyrics highlight the dichotomies that exist within ourselves and in our interactions with others, underscoring the multifaceted nature of human relationships and emotions. The mention of giving, dealing, buying, and even stealing further underscores the complex web of interactions and transactions that define our lives.
As the song progresses, it delves into the idea of past, present, and future, suggesting a cyclical nature to existence. The reference to everyone we meet, slight, and fight encapsulates the diverse range of experiences and relationships we encounter in our lifetime, further accentuating the dynamic and ever-changing nature of human interaction. The contemplation on what is now, what is gone, and what is yet to come underscores the temporal nature of life and the inevitability of change and progression.
The closing lines of the song bring everything under the banner of a cosmic harmony, suggesting that despite the chaos and turmoil of life, there is an underlying unity and balance that connects all living beings. The metaphor of the sun being eclipsed by the moon symbolizes a temporary overshadowing of light and clarity, hinting at moments of darkness and uncertainty that punctuate our existence. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Eclipse" invite reflection on the interconnectedness of all things and the profound mystery of the universal order that governs our lives.

if a radio had been tuned away from one station, through several others (including a radio play and one playing the opening of the finale movement of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony), and finally to a new station where "Wish You Were Here" is beginning. The radio was recorded from Gilmour's car radio. He performed the intro on a twelve-string guitar, processed to sound like it was playing through an AM radio, and then overdubbed a fuller-sounding acoustic guitar solo. This passage was mixed to sound as though a guitarist were listening to the radio and playing along. As the acoustic part becomes more complex, the 'radio broadcast' fades away and Gilmour's voice enters, while the rest of the band joins in
Lyrically, the song is often considered to be a direct tribute to Syd Barrett. However, on the documentary The Story of Wish You Were Here, Gilmour and Waters separately describe the original concept that differs from this interpretation. Waters, who mainly wrote the lyrics complementing Gilmour's initial riff idea and subsequent joint composition, describes the lyrics as being directed at himself, as his lyrics often are. Being present in one's own life and freeing one's self in order to truly experience life is a main topic in this song. Gilmour, on the other hand, recognizes that he does not ever perform the song without remembering Syd Barrett. Waters later adds that the song is nevertheless open to interpretation]
Both David Gilmour and Roger Waters have praised the song as one of Pink Floyd's finest. Roger Waters has noted that the collaboration between himself and David Gilmour on the song was "... really good. All bits of it are really, really good. I'm very happy about it. David Gilmour has playfully called "Wish You Were Here" "a very simple country song" and stated that "because of its resonance and the emotional weight it carries, it is one of our best songs.

Interesting.. I thought it was about a soldier in the Vietnam war...

Thanks for that fascinating info🎸 🙂 I feel blessed to have seen Pink Floyd on the Pulse tour in Rome, Italy , 1994 ❤
What a great atmosphere ; of course they played this song first . They do that to honour Syd , whatever Roger Waters says, he wasn't touring with them by then. They usually play Shine On You Crazy Diamond first , there were pictures of Syd during that too.
What a great concert , they played 3 nights in Rome , I saw the first night. It was the 20th Anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon.
For a special encore , they played the whole album! 😯😃 Always been my favourite band.
Best concert I've ever attended. 🎵 Great backing vocals from the 3 women. RIP Syd Barrett 🙏🏻 RIP Rick Wright 🙏🏻 Never forgotten ❤🐱♏🌌⏳🏴

I am happy that I lived in a time when bands like Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Beatles, Rolling Stone, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and many others played such great music.

Same here.

Don't forget the 80's, rock bands. We are out of the good rock for 30 years. Damn long period.
