All we seem to do is scream and shout
I dont wanna sleep im tired of waking up
All they seem to do is scream and shout
If this is the end im taking over
This is the first time i've been out
What feels like so long i've been let down
And but i never found
If this the end then i want you all to know
If this the end im gonna cash my ticket in
I've tried my best but i just cant seem to change, a thing
You want us all to stand but what's that mean?
If this is the end im taking over
This is the first time i've been out
What feels like so long i've been let down
Feels like a landslides taking apart of me
And but i never found
Feels like the first time
First in a long time
It's over
It's over now
It's over
It's over now
She says, she says, i wanna feel like im part of it
She says, she says, i wanna know what it feels like
I wanna know what it feels like
Shine your light down on me
Shine your light down
I got somethin' to say to you
It's the word of light
Somethin' to say to you
That im dyin'
You, somethin' to say to you
Its word of, word, im fine
Somethin' to say
But i can't
Just that i...
Say to you
Where do i start
The lyrics of Rhubarb's song "Landslide" talk about an individual who is tired of constantly fighting with their partner and waking up to arguments. They express their desire to take control of the situation and choose to "cash [their] ticket in" if this is the end of their relationship. They feel like they have been let down for a long time and criticize their partner's request for them to stand by asking them what that truly means.
The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and defeat, with the singer feeling like they have no power to change the situation at hand. They repeatedly use the metaphor of a landslide falling apart, indicating that their relationship is crumbling and that they are feeling overwhelmed and helpless in the process. The song ends with the singer expressing a desire for someone to shine a light on them, giving them a sense of direction and hope.
In essence, "Landslide" is a poignant commentary on the breakdown of a relationship and the difficulties associated with trying to save it when both parties are not meeting in the middle. The lyrics' emotional depth is underscored by the use of metaphors and vivid imagery, creating a sense of intense emotional turmoil that many listeners can relate to.
