Eclipse
Xixa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a road beyond the Valley
Where the Coyote know to feast
Where a man can lose his fortune
To a Tanque Verde thief
And the moon, I see her risin'
Eclipse her final plead
Sayin Please, just please, bury me deep.
Eclipsed by the cries of another
Eclipsed by the land where we lie
Eclipsed by the wounds on my brother
Eclipsed by the love me must find
There's a curse I can remember
Ocotillo in the breeze
There's a soldier on his last breath
In the old infirmary
I can see his moon is risin'
Eclipse his final plead
Sayin Please, just please, bury me deep.
Eclipsed by the cries of another
Eclipsed by the land where we lie
Eclipsed by the wounds on my brother
Eclipsed by the love me must find
The song “Eclipse” by Xixa paints a vivid picture of the harshness of the desert, both in terms of its physical landscape and the emotional struggles of its inhabitants. The opening stanza introduces the listener to a dangerous road beyond the Valley where coyotes feast, and a man can easily lose his fortune to a thief. It speaks to the idea that life can be unpredictable and unstable, with dangers lurking around every corner. The mention of an eclipsed moon adds to the ominous tone, hinting at impending darkness or doom. The line “Please, just please, bury me deep” reveals a sense of resignation, as if the singer has given up and accepts their fate.
The following stanzas further explore the theme of darkness and struggle. The idea of being eclipsed by the cries of others, the land, wounds, and the need for love speaks to the idea that while the desert can be a place of stark beauty, it is also a place of intense suffering. The imagery of the ocotillo in the breeze and the soldier on his last breath in the old infirmary creates a sense of despair and loss - a reminder that life is precious yet fleeting, and that death is never too far away in such an unforgiving landscape.
Overall, “Eclipse” by Xixa is a haunting song that speaks to the resilience of those who live in and love the desert despite its hardships. It captures the beauty and brutality of the landscape, and reminds us that life is a delicate balance between light and darkness, joy and pain.
