Crash Landing
Toseland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How hard you try to play.
You'll come unstuck one day.
It's not fun with feet of clay.
That place of solitude.
From here (I'll watch the feud?) Stand tall, that's what you do.
That's why you always lose.
I used to hink you give me something.
On your way down.
you hit the ground.
won't make a sound.
when you're crash landing.
You won't give up.
your empty cup.
won't hold you up.
when you're crash landing.
You do it to yourself.
Don't need nobody's help.
You played the hands you dealt.
Ain't good for no one's health.
You took me for a fool.
Pleasure in ridicule.
You've lost your rights to rule.
And now you ain't so cool.
Now I see it, I believe it.
On your way down.
You hit the ground.
Won't make a sound.
When you're crash landing.
You won't give up.
Your empty cup.
Won't hold you up.
When you're crash landing.
No matter what you say to me.
Your future is my history.
Don't manifest my destiny.
I recognise my enemy.
Don't waste your breath on what you say.
My ears don't listen anyway.
I make a stand and I don't need a hand.
And this is me saying goodbye!
On your way down.
You hit the ground.
Won't make a sound.
When you're crash landing.
You won't give up.
Your empty cup.
Won't hold you up.
When you're crash landing.
On your way down.
There'll be no sound.
You won't give up.
Won't hold you up.
On your.
Crash.
Landing.
No matter what you say.
This is me saying goodbye.
How hard you wanna play.
This is me saying goodbye.
The lyrics of "Crash Landing" by Toseland reflect a sense of betrayal and disappointment towards someone who has let the singer down. The opening lines, "No matter what you say. How hard you try to play. You'll come unstuck one day. It's not fun with feet of clay," suggest that the person being addressed has been living a lie and their true self will eventually be revealed.
The lines, "That place of solitude. From here (I'll watch the feud?) Stand tall, that's what you do. That's why you always lose," indicate that the singer has been a witness to the person's scheming and that they've been keeping a close eye on them. The repeated line, "On your way down. You hit the ground. Won't make a sound. When you're crash landing," serves as a metaphor for the person's downfall, which the singer has been anticipating.
In the end, the singer makes a decision to cut ties with the person and move on with their life. The line, "Don't waste your breath on what you say. My ears don't listen anyway. I make a stand and I don't need a hand. And this is me saying goodbye!" shows that the singer is standing up for themselves and will no longer tolerate being used and betrayed.
Overall, "Crash Landing" is a powerful song that addresses themes of betrayal, disappointment, and standing up for oneself.
