Eclipse
Pink Floyd  Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that you touch
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 give
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

Overall Meaning

The song Eclipse is the closing track of Pink Floyd’s iconic 1973 album “The Dark Side Of The Moon”. The song begins with a list of actions that we perform or encounter every single day, including touching, seeing, tasting, feeling, loving, hating, distrusting, saving, giving, dealing, buying, stealing, creating, destroying, doing, saying, eating, meeting, and fighting. This long list seems to capture the diverse experiences that human beings encounter in their lives. The lyrics then suggest that everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon. This line likely symbolizes the conflicts, flaws, and imperfections of humanity that sometimes overshadow the harmony and order of the universe.


The song is a reminder that life is a mixture of positive and negative experiences, and that even though we may experience hardships, challenges, and pain, these experiences are part of what makes life worth living. The song is a celebration of the complexity and diversity of human experience, and it encourages listeners to embrace all that life has to offer, both good and bad.

@Butzemann123

i had heavy anxiety attacks for several weeks like every night.
(with heavy i mean i woke up in a state of pure horror and ran out of the house in the middle of the night wearing only boxers and a shirt..)

I made some sort of a ritual to put myself together while being in fear of dying ,(i really thought i go insane)

Control breathing, put something cold on my forehead, going for a walk, making a tea and final step was listening music.
When i heard this song i actually started crying while laughing.
I had goosebumps all over my body and it felt like all the anxiety just swept away.
It was so strange and that i almost had another panic attack because it felt so strange xD
But eventually it got better and now everytime i feel like getting an anxiety attack i listen to this sing to bring me back to that experience and it helps!



@Beilmanimal

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

Do you know what the eclipse is? Very funny you'd say that. This occult stuff has its way of being in people's minds without them even realizing it.
