Solar Eclipse
Seahaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'll never go away.
They look a lot like me.
Found ways to hold the weight.
Pawn to heredity.
But I am me.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
Distant and naive are two that still believe.
Gentle hands that feed.
And on my chest one sleeps.
The closest one to me in every way.
I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
In a parking lot, in a burning truck, I'm waiting around.
The hours pass. I'm a mess, and it's getting worse.
I'm freezing cold sweats are all that I'm worth.
You're at home, lying proud of a son.
But it don't shine anymore.
I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
The lyrics of Seahaven's "Solar Eclipse" are mournful and introspective, contemplating the weight of the past and the burden of one's own actions. The opening lines - "Dark stains on ivory. They'll never go away. They look a lot like me." - suggest a sense of inescapable guilt or shame. The singer feels marked by their mistakes or failures, burdened by the weight of their past. However, they also assert "But I am me." - suggesting a sense of ownership and self-awareness, even amidst these difficult feelings.
The chorus - "I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know. I'm everything now that you would never want. If you knew the length of my selfishness." - conveys a deep sense of regret and remorse. The singer recognizes that their actions may have hurt others, and they feel a sense of shame for their self-centeredness. The final verse - "In a parking lot, in a burning truck, I'm waiting around. The hours pass. I'm a mess, and it's getting worse. I'm freezing cold sweats are all that I'm worth. You're at home, lying proud of a son. But it don't shine anymore." - adds a layer of desperation and isolation to the song. The imagery of waiting in a burning truck suggests a sense of feeling trapped or overwhelmed, with no clear way forward. The contrast between the singer's situation and the imagined pride of their loved ones makes their loneliness and despair even more pronounced.
Overall, "Solar Eclipse" is a powerful and emotionally resonant song, exploring themes of regret, identity, and the weight of the past. It speaks to the challenges of grappling with one's own flaws and the consequences of one's actions, while also suggesting that there may be some hope for self-forgiveness and growth.
