Landslide
The Reytons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She woke up feeling tender
Lost her soul around the embers
Searching for the night she won′t forget but can't remember
She′s got those blue bloodshot eyes
The makeup tells you no lies
Did you compromise on bad advice?
Did you really need to go?
Let's take it out for the last time
Leave when we're caught sleeping, alright
Break out the boundaries of both sides
Take evеrything from the inside

I don′t know if I could make you bеtter
But I know for sure that we should
Let go and just ride the landslide

She woke up feeling tired but satisfied
The night′s not yet begun
Waiting for a chance to sneak away despite being overrun
The sound is slipping away
She's got no reason to stay
Can we compromise despite advice?
Do you really need to go?

Let′s take it out for the last time
Leave when we're caught sleeping, alright
Break out the boundaries of both sides
Take everything from the inside

I don′t know if I could make you better
But I know for sure that we should
Let go and just ride the landslide

Let's take it out for the last time,
Leave when we′re caught sleeping, alright
Break out the boundaries of both sides
Take everything from the inside

Let's take it out for the last time
Leave when we're caught sleeping, alright
Break out the boundaries of both sides
Take everything from the inside

I don′t know if I could make you better
But I know for sure that we should
Let go and just ride the landslide




Let go and just ride the landslide
Let go and just ride the landslide

Overall Meaning

The Reytons's song Landslide is a reflective piece on a night that's come and gone. The lyrics are introspective, with the singer trying to make sense of the hidden moments of the night, the memories that have been wiped away but still linger in fragments of blue bloodshot eyes and misplaced makeup. The first stanza shows a woman who is struggling to remember what happened to her the night before. She wakes up feeling tender, lost and searching for a memory that she cannot find. The woman is also grappling with the repercussions of bad advice that may have led her to make decisions that she is now regretting.


The chorus is about letting go, breaking free from boundaries and letting the landslide of emotions take control. It's a call to live life fully and without regrets, despite not knowing which way the landslide may take you. The second verse shows the same woman now feeling tired but satisfied and ready to leave everything behind. She is looking for a chance to sneak away, even though the sound of the night is slipping away. Again, the singer questions whether following conventional wisdom and advice is the right move, or if taking a risk and following your heart is the better choice.


Overall, the song is a thought-provoking reflection on the choices we make, the memories we hold onto, and the need to let go and ride the landslide of life.
