Eclipse
ZeN & Yogi & Yogini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reflecting light on a window pane
My face gaunt, white like crack cocaine
I got smidgeons of images stuck inside my brain
My life's changed
Since I felt the pain, insane, I had a point to make
And now I make it today
Like, when my father hit the king viper
A Suicidal flyer, a do or die type of
Life when your living and it's raining hard
But the moons still eclipsed by the earth in awe
And I still got incredulous thoughts, to stop insidious plots
Blood wounds, and wolves are on the move
I'm shaken, still achin', minds racin'
They're prowling howlin' at the moon
Eclipsed moon
It's a sad night when you see the city of faults
Living a life that's not easy at all
Getting stuck in the thick of the walls
Feeling the curse of the angels that fall
It's no doubt we gotta problem with the way that we live
If we didn't then it wouldn't exist
And now we're sitting on the edge of the corners of our wits
Scratchin' heads tryna figure out how we can fix this (Uhh)
We're a bunch of monkeys, in a concrete jungle
Lookin for a bundle, tryna stay humble
When the wolves on the streets, hungry for the meat
Looking for the heat, barring all their teeth
Barron landscapes in the midst of deceit
Bears in the forest try to protect our keep
Pigs on the wings squeal just to keep the peace
When the kingdom is corrupt
I don't feel like I should have to tell you what
This isn't something we can fix alone, or fix at home
So change your mood, or change your tone

The first verse paints a vivid picture of the singer's inner turmoil, as they feel the intensity of their blood rushing through their veins on a cold, rainy night. The imagery of their ghostly, gaunt face likened to crack cocaine suggests a sense of emptiness and addiction, perhaps to pain or trauma. The mention of images stuck in their brain signifies unresolved thoughts and memories that haunt them. The lines "Since I felt the pain, insane, I had a point to make" hint at a transformative experience that has imbued the singer with a newfound purpose and determination to make a difference in their life.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's emotional state, as they grapple with wounds and predators lurking in the shadows. The wolves symbolize both inner turmoil and external threats, with the moon's eclipse serving as a metaphor for obscured clarity and uncertainty.

The reference to scratching heads and searching for solutions reflects a sense of bewilderment and frustration at the complexity of the problems faced.
The final verse touches upon themes of corruption, societal decay, and the need for collective action and change. The comparison of humans to monkeys in a concrete jungle highlights our primal instincts and the struggle for survival in an unforgiving environment. The imagery of wolves and bears alludes to threats and challenges that must be faced, while the pigs symbolize those in power who maintain the status quo.
