Light/Darkness Juxtaposition |
| | Total Eclipse of the Heart (Music) / int_2dab6345 |
comment |
Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: Twofold: Lyrics-wise: The singer refers to the presence of her lover's "love like a shadow" over her; that she is "always in the dark"; and they "are giving off sparks". In the final verses, she sings about how "there was light in [her] life", but "now there's only love in the dark". In the music video, light sources (the moon, illuminated rooms, the literal "bright eyes") are contrasted with the dark elements (the silhouettes, the darkened hallways, even the nocturnal setting). |
