“Eclipse” by Prima Queen – A Song Feature

 

       Prima Queen is the London-based duo of Kristin McFadden and Louise Macphail, but Kristin is originally from Chicago.

     On their single “Eclipse,” Prima Queen offer the following: “It’s about the hesitation of entering into a new relationship while you’re still reeling from a heartbreak that fucked you up. It was quite a cathartic group experience recording the song - we got to sing the last chorus all together at the top of our lungs. We released a lot of pent-up rage we didn’t know we had.

Lyrics of “Eclipse” by Prima Queen

We drove all night

So we could watch the eclipse

Your hand on my upper thigh

I read you directions off an old napkin

 

You said the sky looked like magic

And we kissed in the half light

You found the perfect view off trail

It was the first time I had sex outside

 

But you don't know that I'm fucked up

And I'm not over my last love

I think I told you about him once

But maybe I played it off too much

 

It's always the same excuse

And I'll never say I love you

But I'll pretend it's alright

We can just have a good time

 

And you brought me home to your parents’ house

And we had to sneak around like kids

Making love downstairs on that little couch

 

I helped your mom set the table

And she laughed at things I said

And your dad asked me if I’ll be

Coming back again

 

But you don't know that I'm fucked up

And I'm not over my last love

I think I told you about him once

But maybe I played it off too much

 

It's always the same excuse

And I'll never say I love you

But I'll pretend it's alright

We can just have a good time

 

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know that I'm fucked up

 

But you don't know that I'm fucked up

And I'm not over my last love

I think I told you about him once

But maybe I played it off too much

 

It's always the same excuse

And I'll never say I love you

But I'll pretend it's alright

We can just have a good time

 

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know that I'm fucked up
