Total Eclipse of the Heart
Jan Wayne feat. Lena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
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.
The lyrics to Jan Wayne's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" express the feelings of loneliness, fear, confusion, and desperation as the singer longs for the romantic relationship of the past that has since faded away. The opening lines, "Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely, and you're never coming around," express the longing for the relationship that has long since ended. The repetition of "turn around" expresses the desire to see the person again or to turn back time and relive the relationship.
The following lines express a sense of longing and sadness, with the singer getting tired of listening to the sound of their tears, nervous that the best years have gone by, and terrified when they see the look in the person's eyes. The chorus expresses the singer's deep need for the person's love, with them needing the person more than ever and holding on forever. The lines "Cause we'll never be wrong together, we can take it to the end of the line" express the desire for the love to last forever, even if they go through struggles.
The later part of the song expresses that the singer is living in a powder keg and giving off sparks, with the love being like a shadow on them all of the time. The repeated line "Forever's gonna start tonight" expresses the singer's hope that the relationship can start anew and that they can relive the love again. The song culminates in the realization that there is nothing left to do but to accept the end of the relationship, with the lyrics "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."
