"turnaround" translate into English

Dear all,

I am confused about a word "turnaround" in the song which is "Total eclipse of the heart" by Bonnie Tyler.

The lyrics below:

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming around

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

......

I enjoy this song and want to know more about this song.

But when I looked up the Chinese lyrics on the web site, I found out most of the Chinese translation about this song translated the word "turnaround" into "?? go away".

I don't think "turnaround" in this song "total eclipse of the heart" means "go away".

I thought it might be "a complete change from a bad situation to a good one".

Can someone help me that?

It's great that someone have the background of this song.

Thank you!

I do not know the song, but "turnaround" could be read in a couple of different ways. A "turnaround" can refer to a situation that changes, usually from bad to good. Or it could be a command: turn around (and go away).

Dear Doctor D,

Thank you for the answer of my question.

Yes, it's.
I get confused just because this word "turnaround" has more than one meaning, and there are two of them just reverse to each other.

Might you listen to this song and help me to figure it out?

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, I forgot to post the original lyrics of the song, may I ad
