Eclipse
Theodore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh my precious lovely Queen
You need darkness to be seen
Love your friend stay close to him

Strange the way the light is streamed
Absorb the warmness of it all
Use its brightness to be loved
Glow in his absence to be adored
Stop pretending, let him now the truth

How jealous I am of you
Oh burn out my self-luminous friend





How jealous I am of you
Oh burn out my self-luminous friend

Overall Meaning

Theodore's song Eclipse speaks about the concept of darkness and how it can sometimes be necessary to be visible. The lyrics speak directly to a queen, who is expected to shine in the light but sometimes needs the darkness to stand out. The line "you need darkness to be seen" is a powerful statement of the duality of light and darkness, illustrating the importance of the two opposing forces. The song talks about the warmth of light and how a person can absorb it to feel loved. It also speaks about the need for absence and the power it can have, both reminding the queen to stop pretending and be true to herself as well as acknowledging the potential impact of absence on relationships.


The line "how jealous I am of you, oh burn out my self-luminous friend" is striking in that it suggests turnabout in the concept of darkness and light. The singer wants to extinguish their own light and become invisible. This mindset of preferring darkness over light is explored further in the song, indicating the feelings of envy and longing for the ability to hide away. Overall, Eclipse is a song that explores the dichotomy of light and dark, their importance and frailty, and the power of absence.
