Landslide
Reflections on Life's Changes: The Impact of Time's Passage
Lyrics
I took my love, I took it down
I decided to end my romantic relationship and took my love away.
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
I faced challenges and obstacles in life but eventually changed my direction.
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
I observed myself in the reflection of the snow-covered hills during this journey.
'Til the landslide brought me down
A metaphorical landslide, perhaps a significant change or challenge, brought me down.
Oh, mirror in the sky
Addressing a celestial entity, possibly fate or destiny, questioning the nature of love.
What is love?
Pondering the essence of love and its impact on the inner child.
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Wondering if the innocence within can overcome challenges and hardships.
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Questioning the ability to navigate through life's unpredictable changes.
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Contemplating the capability to handle the various phases and challenges in life.
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Expressing fear of change, possibly due to a life centered around someone else.
'Cause I've built my life around you
Acknowledging the life constructed around a person and the challenges of altering that.
But time makes you bolder
Recognizing that time brings about personal growth and resilience.
Even children get older
Highlighting the inevitability of aging, even in the case of children.
And I'm getting older too
Acknowledging the speaker's own aging process.
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Reiterating the fear of change due to a life built around someone.
'Cause I've built my life around you
Repeating the idea of a life constructed around another person.
But time makes you bolder
Emphasizing the transformative nature of time and aging.
Even children get older
Reiterating that even children undergo the aging process.
And I'm getting older too
Stating the speaker's personal experience of getting older.
Oh! I'm getting older too
Expressing the inevitability of the speaker's aging process.
Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Inviting someone else to go through the process of taking love down and self-reflection.
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
Encouraging someone to face challenges and change direction in their life.
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Referencing the earlier self-reflection in the snow-covered hills.
Well, the landslide bring it down
Reiterating that a significant change or challenge can bring someone down.
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Repeating the notion of self-reflection in the face of challenges.
Well, the landslide bring it down
Emphasizing that challenges or changes can have a profound impact.
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
Concluding with the impact of a significant event, the "landslide," bringing things down.
