Landslide
Caveboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a castaway
Searching around the desert haze
If I follow this mirage, I'll make it through
I'll find a way to you
Right now cause I need to feel ya
Somehow want your fire on me
And I'll try to keep it burning, keep you burning
Feeling the vulture cry
A warning sign
So sink your talons into mine
and sip from my dripping hands
Running down your face
And you'll never be the same as
Right now cause I need to feel ya
Somehow want your fire on me
Landslide into a thirsty body
And I'll try to keep it burning, keep you burning
I'm hungry to gratify
Feed my craving to satisfy
I'm hungry to gratify
Feed my craving to satisfy
Right now cause I need to feel ya
Somehow want your fire on me
Landslide into a thirsty body
And I'll try to keep it burning, keep you
Right now cause I need to feel ya
Somehow want your fire on me
Landslide into my thirsty body
And I'll try to keep it burning, keep you burning
The song "Landslide" by Caveboy is a powerful anthem about the pursuit of love and the primal need to satisfy a burning desire. The lyrics speak of a person lost in the desert but determined to find their way to their lover. The metaphorical language used to describe this journey is both mysterious and powerful. The singer declares that they will follow the mirage, the mystical illusion that appears in the desert, in order to find their love. They are willing to face the dangers of the journey, even the ominous warning cry of a vulture, to reach their destination.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to feel their lover's presence, to experience the intense passion that drives them. They describe their body as being "thirsty", craving the fire of their lover to ignite them. The imagery of a "landslide" further emphasizes the overwhelming force of their feelings, the way it can completely engulf them and become an unstoppable force. The repeated chorus implies that the singer is willing to do anything to keep the passion burning, to keep their lover close and satisfy their own hunger for fulfillment.
Overall, "Landslide" is a powerful expression of the primal human need for love and connection. It speaks to the way that passion can drive a person and make them willing to do anything to keep the fire burning. The use of powerful metaphors and imagery conveys the intensity of the singer's emotions and the strength of their determination to find and keep their love.

So where am I now?
Just a castaway
Searching round the dessert haze
If I follow this mirage
I'll make it through
I'll find a way to you
Right now, 'cause I need to feel ya'
Somehow want your fire on me
Landslide into a thirsty body
And try to keep the burning

So sink your doubts into mine
And sip from my dripping hands
Running down your face

I just discovered Caveboy, and I’m already a big fan ... and I agree, they DO have a similar sound to The Jezabels—an association I made almost immediately—and I’m a big fan of their’s as well.
