No Way Out
Landfall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
IN THE NIGHT YOUR EYES ALL I SEE
YOU LEAD ME TO AN ENDLESS FALL
I STAND UP FAITHFULLY
CLOSE MY EYES, INTO DEEP I SEE
THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS
LIVING AND LEARNING,
THE WAY I DON'T KNOW HOW
THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
AND I CAN'T HOLD THE KEY
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
I CAN'T FIND THE REAL ME
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
AND THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SEE
THERE'S NO WAY OUT
I NEED TO FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
NO, I CAN'T FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
SHINING BRIGHT DESTINY
FATE IS FAITH WHEN YOUR EYES CAN'T SEE
NOW I KNOW WHERE I BELONG
LIVING AND LEARNING,
I AM WHERE I SHOULD BE
TOSSING AND TURNING,
MY CHOICES BROUGHT ME HERE
CHORUS
SOMEHOW, THE DREAMS ARE LOST AND FOUND
SO NOW, YOU SEE THE WAY AROUND
CHORUS
NO, I CAN'T FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
The song "No Way Out" by Landfall talks about feeling lost and not being able to find one's way back home. The lyrics suggest the singer is struggling to find their place in the world, which is symbolized by being lost in a dream. They are haunted by the memory of someone, and their eyes are all the singer sees. This could imply that the person represents a time in the singer's life when they felt more secure and happy, and that they long to return to that state of being.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "There's no way out," which creates a sense of hopelessness in the listener. The singer feels trapped and unable to escape their current situation. They are searching for themselves, but they cannot find the real person within. Despite the difficulty of the situation, the singer seems to be resolved to keep searching, living, and learning.
In the latter half of the song, the singer seems to have found their way. They have accepted that their choices brought them to this point and that they are where they should be. They speak of "shining bright destiny" and that "fate is faith when your eyes can't see." The last line, "No, I can't find my way back home," suggests that although the singer has found some resolution, they are still searching and have yet to fully find their way.
