Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to hear me out there
This is for all you bad boys
This a story of the Satan rock 'n' roll
I want you to put your hand in your pocket
Take ten dollars out and send it to me

Well momma don't scold her son
For what he been doing upstairs
Daddy don't take him out no no
Sister just pull his hair
This boy is lost
It's a living nightmare, it ain't fair
That boy he don't know how to lose
He's out to win
He got the lot to top the last shot
Shaker he's a breaker he's a maker he's a landslide
Landslide, landslide
Walkin' talkin' rockin' landslide

Now momma he ain't no toy
Never ever get his share
Get his stack in a gunnysack
Still be room for air
This boy is lost
It's a rockin' double dare, he's out to scare
That boy he don't know how to lose
He's out to win
He got the lot to top the last shot
Shaker he's a breaker he's a maker he's a landslide
Landslide
Walkin' talkin' rockin' landslide

Landslide, landslide, landslide, landslide
Preacher done say his prayer
Take him to the promised land
Momma done allow no get down here
Never gonna get up there
This boy is lost
Like a rebel with out cause
But he's the boss
That boy he don't know how to lose
He's gonna win
He got the lot to top the last shot
Shaker he's a breaker he's a maker he's a landslide
Walkin' talkin' rockin' landslide
Landslide
Walkin' talkin' rockin' landslide
Landslide, landslide
That man's a one man landslide
Landslide
Landslide
Landslide




That boys a walk talk rockin' landslide
Get down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DC's song Landslide tell the story of a rebellious bad boy who is into Satan rock 'n' roll. The song opens with a request for the bad boys listening to the song to put ten dollars into their pockets and to send it to the artist. The first verse speaks to how the bad boy's parents disapprove of his behavior and are constantly scolding him. The boy is described as a living nightmare who doesn't know how to lose, he's out to win. The chorus emphasizes this point, as the boy is referred to as a landslide - walking, talking, and rocking.


The second verse continues to shed light on the bad boy's character, stating that he doesn't get his fair share but still manages to come out on top. The lines "this boy is lost, it's a rockin' double dare, he's out to scare" suggest that the bad boy is in it for the thrill and adrenaline rush of being rebellious. The preacher is mentioned in the bridge, suggesting that there is still hope for the boy to turn his life around, but the chorus repeats the idea that he is a one-man landslide who is unstoppable.
