Landslide
6CycleMind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till' the landslide brought me down
Mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
And time makes you bolder
And Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
And Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too
Take this love and take it down
Climb a mountain and I turn around
You see my reflection in a snow-covered hills
Well the landslide bring me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Maybe the landslide will bring me down
Maybe the landslide will bring it down
The lyrics to 6CycleMind's song Landslide deal with themes of personal growth, self-reflection, and the fear of change. The opening verse describes the singer's decision to leave their love behind and venture up a mountain. Upon reaching the summit and looking back, the singer sees their own reflection in the snow-covered hills. This moment of introspection is cut short by an unexpected "landslide" that brings the singer back down to reality.
The following lines ask deeper questions about the nature of love and personal growth. The metaphor of a "mirror in the sky" suggests that introspection and self-discovery can be achieved through reflection and contemplation. However, the singer acknowledges the challenges of personal transformation, wondering if they can "sail thru the changing ocean tides" and "handle the seasons of [their] life."
The chorus summarizes the singer's struggle with change, admitting their fear of losing their sense of identity and connection to a past love. However, the repeated refrain of "time makes you bolder" suggests that the singer is aware of the inevitability of growth and is ready to face it. Ultimately, the song leaves open the question of whether the singer will be able to navigate this transformation or if they will be brought down by the "landslide."

I took my love and I took it down
I left my love behind and started a new journey
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
I climbed a high peak and looked back on my past
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
I saw myself reflected in the purity of the natural world
Till' the landslide brought me down
I was brought down by the unexpected collapse and turbulence
Mirror in the sky
The sky is a reflective surface
What is love
What is the essence of love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can my inner child overcome the challenges I face
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I navigate the unpredictability of life
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Can I cope with the ever-changing stages of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
I am hesitant to change because I have built my life around a particular person
And time makes you bolder
As time goes on, you become braver and more confident
And Children get older
As time goes on, children grow up and become independent
I'm getting older too
As time goes on, I too am growing older and changing
Take this love and take it down
Leave this love behind and move on
Climb a mountain and I turn around
Climb to new heights and look back on the past
You see my reflection in a snow-covered hills
My true self is reflected in the beauty of nature
Well the landslide bring me down
Unexpected challenges can bring me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
If you see my true self reflected in nature
Maybe the landslide will bring me down
I may be brought down by unexpected challenges
Maybe the landslide will bring it down
My old way of life may come crashing down due to unexpected events
