Land
Matthew Puckett Lyrics

Sunset's painting god in amber
The sunset view is a work of art that is so mesmerizing and beautiful as if created by a divine entity.

If we tried

Guess we lied

Get me out of here

Take me out of here

I need to touch down

Wrap my head around (what happened here)

Fate and what it brings

Breaking everything's
The current situation seems to be leading the singer to the edge of destruction.

Not what we planned

I don't understand

Wake me up when we land

If we could we'd turn around in shame

Go back to where we've been

Just leave it all to falling stars

And some caution in the wind

My conscience fears that

Six long years of silent tears

Won't sleep on this tonight
The singer does not believe they will be able to get rest despite needing it.

Sing the saddest songs

And all night longs
They plan to sing all through the night.

But a hundred wrongs still don't make a right

We're past the part
The singer and their companion have gone beyond the stage in their relationship where they could support and comfort each other.

Where i lift you up
The singer talks of a time when they would have to physically support their companion.

And you try to calm me down
The companion would have attempted to soothe and ease the singer's distress.

The shattered world below
The view of the world beneath them appears broken and chaotic.

Looks serene
Paradoxically, despite the apparent chaos, the view is serene.

As we careen to the ground
The singer and their companion seem to be losing control of their situation and are headed to a disastrous end.
