Landslide
Navigating Life's Changes: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Megan McKenna's 'Landslide'
Lyrics
I took my love, I took it down
I decided to end my romantic relationship and withdrew my love.
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
I faced challenges or difficulties symbolized by climbing a mountain but eventually turned away.
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Upon reflection, I observed myself in the difficulties or challenges represented by snow-covered hills.
'Til the landslide brought me down
The metaphorical landslide, a significant setback or failure, brought me down.
Oh, mirror in the sky
Addressing the universe or fate, questioning the nature of love.
What is love?
Pondering the essence of love, possibly questioning its existence or meaning.
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Exploring the possibility of personal growth and resilience in challenging times.
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Wondering if I can navigate through life's unpredictable changes and challenges.
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Questioning my ability to cope with the various phases and challenges in life.
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Expressing fear of change, particularly because my life is built around someone or something.
'Cause I've built my life around you
My life is centered around a specific person, and change is feared because of this dependency.
But time makes you bolder
Acknowledging that time has a transformative effect, making me more resilient or self-assured.
Even children get older
Noting that even children experience the passage of time and age.
And I'm getting older too
Accepting the inevitability of aging and the changes that come with it.
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Reiterating the fear of change due to a life built around someone or something.
'Cause I've built my life around you
Reaffirming the central role of a person or element in my life and the fear associated with change.
But time makes you bolder
Reiterating the transformative nature of time, making me more resilient or self-assured.
Even children get older
Acknowledging that even children experience the passage of time and age.
And I'm getting older too
Accepting the inevitability of aging and the changes that come with it.
Oh! I'm getting older too
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment of personal aging.
Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Repeating the decision to end a romantic relationship and withdraw love.
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
Reiterating facing challenges but ultimately turning away.
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Encouraging others to observe their reflection in challenging situations.
Well, the landslide bring it down
Highlighting that setbacks or failures can bring down the metaphorical "landslide."
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Encouraging others to observe their reflection in challenging situations.
Well, the landslide bring it down
Highlighting that setbacks or failures can bring down the metaphorical "landslide."
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
Repeating the idea that significant setbacks or failures can bring one down.
