Eclipsed by Shadows is a hauntingly poignant song by Deftones that explores the heart-wrenching experience of losing someone dear and the subsequent desire for life's end. With its haunting melodies and emotional lyrics, this track delves into the depths of sorrow and grief.
Verse 1:
Every breath feels hollow, steps lead nowhere
The ghost of you lingers, so hard to bear
Memories in fragments, shattered and torn
A life without you feels so forlorn
Chorus:
Eclipsed by shadows, lost in despair
A heart that’s broken beyond repair
Yearning for the darkness, where silence devours
Counting down the endless hours
Verse 2:
In the still of night, your voice a distant wail
I chase a phantom through a sorrowful trail
Grief closing in, like a suffocating shroud
A life in disarray, no longer proud
Chorus:
Eclipsed by shadows, lost in despair
A heart that’s broken beyond repair
Yearning for the darkness, where silence devours
Counting down the endless hours
Bridge:
The weight of your absence, too much to hold
A tale of love that's now grown cold
Craving the end, a final release
To join you where the pain will cease
Chorus:
Eclipsed by shadows, lost in despair
A heart that’s broken beyond repair
Yearning for the darkness, where silence devours
Counting down the endless hours
Outro:
So I stand on the edge, looking below
In the depths of sorrow, ready to let go
To find you in a place beyond this pain
Eclipsed by shadows, I'll be whole again
