This song is self explanatory. It's about unrequited love. Her heart has been 'totally eclipsed' by thinking about her love all the time.This is what I take it to mean but it might be about something completely different and I'm too dense to get it!

No, I've always thought it was about unrequited love too. I think we've got it right.

Here me out on this. If you watch the video she's surrounded by a bunch of school boys who are being very cool, sexy and successful. I think it's about falling in love and having an affair with someone who is either a student or too young to be messed with. The first stanza sounds like a mid-life crisis or depression with that person calling out to her. She doesn't want them but they want her. "Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild" So she acts on her urges and has the affair and because they're in love, "They'll only be making it right." But she starts to regret it, hence the powder keg line and the fact that his love is like a shadow. The thing eclipsing her heart is her regret of letting this go as far as it did.

I think it's all of the above as well as: She is at a cross roads in her life. On one hand she is feeling suffocated by their life and relationship and she has theses dreams of things she wants from life. Then she turns around and needs her lover to hold her tight to let her know everything is all right somthing like that but it's mostly a love song I think the eclipse is she's torn between what she wants and what she has and what she desires, all rolled into one.
