Total
Jan Wayne feat. Lena 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
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around 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 (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 (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
Total Eclipse of the heart.

Line by Line Meaning

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
Occasionally, I feel a bit isolated


And you're never coming round
Because you are never here


Every now and then I get a little bit tired
At times, I feel drained


Of listening to the sound of my tears
Tired of hearing myself crying


Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
From time to time, I worry that the prime of my life has passed


Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
On occasion, I get scared, but then I see comfort in your gaze


Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Come back to me quickly, dear because I am falling apart without you


And I need you now tonight
I need you here with me tonight


And I need you more than ever
I need you more now than I ever have before


And if you'll only hold me tight
As long as you embrace me tightly


We'll be holding on forever
We will remain together eternally


And we'll only be making it right
Our relationship is the only thing that matters


Cause we'll never be wrong together
We will always be right for each other


We can take it to the end of the line
We can go as far as possible


Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
Your love is always present in my life


I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
I feel lost and confused all the time


We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
Our relationship is volatile and full of passion


I really need you tonight
I desperately need you tonight


Forever's gonna start tonight
Our long-lasting bond begins tonight


Once upon a time I was falling in love
At one time, I was deeply enamored


But now I'm only falling apart
But now, I am breaking down


There's nothing I can do
I am powerless to change things


Total Eclipse of the heart.
I am consumed with heartbreak and sadness.
