Noodlanding
Lianie May Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soos ons hande kleef teen die ruite
En ons vergeet van almal wat kyk van buite
Ons beweeg teen die spoed van witlig
Hou my vas, want hier kom 'n deurnag vlug

Ek's verdoof vasgevang in die oomblik
Ek is stom want jy steel my woorde en
Die lug is dun leen jou lippe vir my
Jy asem in, ek asem uit

Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou

Maar ons sal veilig land
Ek belowe jou
Dis tyd vir n noodlanding

En jy fluister vir my 'n liedjie
Ek sê moenie ophou net nog 'n bietjie
Want jy maak my mal en jy weet ek sal
Uit hierdie vliegtuig vir jou val

Dit is 'n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou
Maar ons sal veilig land, ek belowe jou (Dis 'n noodlanding)

Ek sal nie, ek kan nie, nie vir jou nee sê nie
Ek kan nie, ek sal nie, nie vir jou lief wees nie

Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
Die swaartekrag trek my af na jou




Maar ons sal veilig land, ek belowe jou
Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding

Overall Meaning

The song "Noodlanding" by Lianie May tells the story of two people who are deeply in love and caught up in the moment. The opening lines describe them holding hands and forgetting about anyone else who may be watching them from the outside. They move at the speed of light, holding onto each other tightly, as they embark on a flight together.


As they soar higher and higher, the singer feels a mixture of emotions - numbness and excitement at the same time. She is left speechless by her partner's presence, and as they exchange breaths, it feels like there's not enough air to go around. The chorus talks about the need for a "noodlanding," or an emergency landing, as they've flown too high, too fast, and it's all becoming too much for them to handle.


Despite the fear and uncertainty of what's to come, she promises her partner that they will land safely. The bridge continues with the passion of love taking over, as the singer refuses to let go of their partner, even if it means falling out of the plane for them. In the end, the song comes full circle with the reassurance that they will land safely and that it's time for an emergency landing.


Overall, "Noodlanding" is a story of two people who have fallen hard for each other, and the emotional rush of their love is compared to that of flying at high speeds. However, as with all things, it's important to come back down to earth and take a break when things get too intense.


Line by Line Meaning

Soos ons hande kleef teen die ruite
Like our hands sticking to the windows


En ons vergeet van almal wat kyk van buite
And we forget about everyone watching from outside


Ons beweeg teen die spoed van witlig
We move against the speed of light


Hou my vas, want hier kom 'n deurnag vlug
Hold me tight because here comes an overnight flight


Ek's verdoof vasgevang in die oomblik
I am numb, caught in the moment


Ek is stom want jy steel my woorde en
I am speechless because you stole my words and


Die lug is dun leen jou lippe vir my
The air is thin, lend me your lips


Jy asem in, ek asem uit
You breathe in, I breathe out


Dis tyd vir 'n noodlanding
It's time for an emergency landing


Te hoog gevlieg te vinnig, te veel vir nou
Flown too high, too fast, too much for now


En jy fluister vir my 'n liedjie
And you whisper a song to me


Ek sê moenie ophou net nog 'n bietjie
I say don't stop, just a little more


Want jy maak my mal en jy weet ek sal
Because you drive me crazy and you know I will


Uit hierdie vliegtuig vir jou val
Fall out of this airplane for you


Maar ons sal veilig land
But we will land safely


Ek belowe jou
I promise you


Ek sal nie, ek kan nie, nie vir jou nee sê nie
I won't, I can't say no to you


Ek kan nie, ek sal nie, nie vir jou lief wees nie
I can't, I won't love you
