Maeglin is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, featured in The Silmarillion.
He was an Elf, the son of Eöl the Dark Elf and Aredhel daughter of Fingolfin. He lived in the First Age of Middle-earth, and was a lord of Gondolin. He is considered to be the most wicked elf of all. His name means "sharp glance" in Tolkien's constructed language Sindarin.
According to The Silmarillion, Maeglin's mother, Aredhel, grew weary of Gondolin and wished to visit the sons of Fëanor she then wandered through Beleriand. In the woods of Nan Elmoth where she was lured by the "Dark Elf" Eöl, and was married to him -- "a matter in which she was not wholly unwilling", eventually giving birth to Maeglin.
At birth, Aredhel gave Maeglin the name Lómion, meaning "Son of the Twilight" in Sindarin. Eöl gave his child the name Maeglin when he was 12. Aredhel left Eöl, and took her son (who stole his father's sword, Anguirel) with her, returning to Gondolin. Eöl followed her, and in judgment before Turgon, the king of Gondolin, he attempted to kill Maeglin with a poisoned javelin, but hit Aredhel instead. Aredhel begged her brother to forgive Eöl, as she still loved him despite not wanting to live with him. She in fact succeeded in this until she grew sick and died because the dart was poisoned. Eöl was cast down to his death from the city walls by an enraged Turgon.
i was in the darkness waiting to be found
my heart was locked away and beaten to the ground
tried to find my way but there was no way out
but when you’re close to me, whenever you’re around
you take the pain away, you make it worth the wait
and i pray that i will have you in my life always
and when my hope is gone you make me keep the faith
i guess what i’m tryna say
baby you got me falling uncontrollably in love, never
felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn’t enough
hey i wanna give you my name, my name, my name (hey)

cos you deserve to be offered nothing less
you know i’m there for you like you’ve been there for
but whenever i’m without you girl i find it hard to
breathe

i was broken but you came along and mended me
now that my hope’s restored and i can keep the faith
all i gotta say is

felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn’t enough
