It's all about the darkness, the power of darkness and love's place in dark. "If anyone listens to the lyrics, they're really like vampire lines. Its original title was 'Vampires in Love' because I was working on a musical of 'Nosferatu,' the other great vampire story," Steinman said.
I remembered I actually wrote to be a vampire love song. That's when "Total Eclipse of the Heart" became "Vampires In Love" to open the second act, according to. In fact, the song got a new name when it eventually did make it into Steinman's 2002 Broadway musical "Dance of the Vampires". "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was the smash hit for Tyler in 1983, but its composer, Jim Steinman, actually originally wrote the song for a musical he was working on based on the 1922 vampire flick, "Nosferatu". Instead, it was telling a vampire love story, according to Song Meanings and Facts. Bonnie Tyler wasn't singing a song that was telling a human love story. The lyrics to the 1983 hit can be considered dark by some - and for very good reason. All she wants her ex to do is to turn around and remember all that she's remembering as she wonders if the best of her life is over. When you break out that old, worn 45 from your teenage years or hear "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on an all-'80s station (or your own digital playlist, since it is the 21st century after all), you picture a sad and powerful story of a breakup leaving a woman lonely with a broken heart.
