In My Life
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The friends in my dreams
Capturing me
It's all been so hard
They seem so incredibly far
Can't sleep
Can't dream
Scared you'll wake up to me
Let's leave
I'm beat
They ain't real seeds
Not ideal can't you see
They mean so much to me
Wanna sleep
Wanna dream
Wanna see you smile in peace
All I need
On repeat
Tell me I'm neat
Show me to my seat
Sweep me off my feet
Show me all your leeds
Wanna meet you baby
Just wanna show you I'm sweet and maybe
You can fucken save me
The friends in my dreams
Capturing me
It's all been so hard
They seem so impossibly far
Just wanna dream
Need to fall asleep
4am never looked so mean
On beat
Cooking up somethin heat
Eyes flash I was in a dream
How can that be
Why can't I see
This another me
Just another seed
Just some more weed
Am I off key?
Need more caffeine
Help me fall asleep
ADHD got me in my sleep
Waking up at three
Can't believe my Z's
Too much time making beats
Smoking weed
Watchin TV
That's a different week
And some more freaks
Maybe a couple tweaks
Maybe off a bean
Keep me on repeat
Drugs gonna teach
Make me believe
All of my dreams
All of my dreams
All of my dreams
I'm sleeping weak
Did I leave impaired
I'm so fucken scared
Cause they leave in pairs
I'm so fucken rare
Mentally impaired
With no fucken care
Lose another hair
Stress isn't fair
Money by the layer
I'm so compared
So famously brainless
I hate this
Really think I'm painless?
The friends in my dreams
Capturing me




It's all been so hard
They seem so incredibly far

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Eclipse's song, "In My Life," express the pain and regret of losing someone they loved. The recurring phrase, "She's out of my life," highlights the magnitude of the loss and the feeling of helplessness that comes with it. The singer seems to be struggling with how to cope with this loss; they don't know whether to laugh or cry, to live or die. The image of a knife cutting through them emphasizes the intensity of their emotions.


The second verse deepens the singer's regret at taking their loved one for granted. They can't believe that for two years, this person was in their life, and they were careless with their love. The line, "And I took her for granted I was so cavalier," reveals the confession of the singer's regret of having been inattentive or unconcerned. The phrase, "It's out of my hands," suggests that the singer's loss is final; there's nothing they can do about it, which aggravates their pain even more.


The final verse indicates the singer's realization that their approach to love was flawed. They learned that love cannot be possessed, nor should it wait. The singer reveals that they should have expressed their love earlier, but they learned too late. The line, "Damned indecision and cursed pride," suggests that the singer's inability to express their love was their own fault, highlighting how important it is to express love to your loved ones.
