Letters
Eclipses For Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until all the un-addressed tragedies come crashing down.
It's an unfortunate thing, realizing exactly how much I need you to feel something.
Oh, the letters keep piling up.
Oh, I remember exactly how much it ached
to be told that it was all, it was all that could be done.
So now I cling to you.
My unavoidable accomplice,
Oh, the letters keep piling up.
Oh, I remember exactly how much it ached
to be told that it was all, it was all that could be done.
Oh.
The way you burn lets me know you're serious.
The way you torture me makes me delirious.
So delirious
it was all, it was all.
It was all.
Realistically
Oh, the letters keep piling up.
Oh, I remember exactly how much it ached
to be told that it was all, it was all that could be done.
In this song, Eclipses For Eyes explores the theme of emotional numbness. The singer talks about how they have trained themselves to be numb, but at times they are hit with un-addressed tragedies that make them realize how much they actually need the person they are addressing in the song to feel something. The letters that they receive from this person keep piling up, and they remember how painful it was to be told that it was all that could be done. Despite this, they find themselves clinging to this person, who they describe as an "unavoidable accomplice" that slowly poisons them until they see things realistically.
The chorus is particularly interesting, as it talks about the way this person burns and tortures them, making them delirious. It's almost as though this person is causing them pain intentionally, but the singer is so desperate to feel something that they cling to them nonetheless. The repetition of "it was all" in the final lines is also poignant, as it brings the song full circle. The singer had been told that it was all that could be done, and yet they still find themselves unable to let go of this person, even though they are slowly destroying them.
Overall, "Letters" is a powerful song that delves into the complexities of relationships and emotional numbness. Through Eclipses For Eyes's evocative lyrics, we can feel the pain and desperation of the singer as they grapple with their feelings.

Damn, those drums are strong. Beautiful guitar. Really sincere singing. Love it.
@MrMusic4676
Agreed. The song sounds like it's a mix of Alternative rock and Hard rock; Alternative rock lyrics, vocals and guitaring, with the heavy Hard rock style drumming.
