When Will You Eclipse My Sun? – Song & Lyrics
When Will You Eclipse My Sun? – Song & Lyrics
When Will You Eclipse My Sun arrives as a refreshing, but chilling, descent into the inevitability of sorrow. It is a track that doesn’t just acknowledge the darkness; it waits for it with a sense of grim anticipation. The lyrics paint a stark landscape where happiness is viewed not as a goal, but as a cruel bait—a “luxury” that only exists to make the coming fall feel more catastrophic.
The narrative tension of the song is built on the agonizing wait for the “other shoe to drop.” With lines like “I hear your footsteps on the stair / The silence screams a bitter sound,” the track captures that specific, modern anxiety of standing in the sun while staring directly at the approaching clouds. It’s a sonic exploration of emotional sabotage, where the protagonist is so well-acquainted with misery that the absence of pain feels more threatening than the pain itself.
Musically, one can almost feel the “grey and heavy sky” pressing down through the verses. The metaphorical eclipse serves as a powerful centerpiece for the chorus, transforming a celestial event into a deeply personal erasure of hope. By the time the outro welcomes the “heavy gloom,” the listener is left in a “night without a dawn,” surrendered to a darkness that feels more honest than the light it replaced. It is a haunting, essential addition to my Bandcamp discography dedicated to the beauty of the abyss.

When Will You Eclipse My Sun? Song & Lyrics
Intro
The shadows stretch across the floor,
I watch the light begin to die.
I’ve seen this hollow ghost before,
Beneath a grey and heavy sky.
Verse 1
Where are you now my misery?
I know this luxury won’t last.
I sense that you will come for me
And feel all hope is fading fast.
Verse 2
Why do you wait to torture me
And let me think life can be fine?
Real happiness can never be.
Freedom from you was never mine.
Chorus
When will you come to claim your prize?
When will you eclipse my sun?
I see the coldness in your eyes,
Before the damage has begun.
Verse 3
Why wait till I feel satisfied
And feel some comfort in my life?
When all feels good you then decide
To strike me with despair and strife.
Verse 4
Where is the pain I will soon feel?
It seems the time is overdue.
I know this life can not be real.
True happiness I never knew.
Chorus
When will you come to claim your prize?
When will you eclipse my sun?
I see the coldness in your eyes,
Before the damage has begun.
Bridge
I hear your footsteps on the stair,
The silence screams a bitter sound.
I breathe the poison in the air,
And wait to hit the frozen ground.
Verse 5
And when will you eclipse my sun,
Removing love still in my heart?
Reveal to me what I have done
To feel this anguish you impart.
Outro
The darkness gathers in the room,
The final spark is almost gone.
I welcome now this heavy gloom,
And wait for a night without a dawn.
