Landslide

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They want another chance
And if they don′t go far
At least they tried their best
Strange lovers in the night
They want another chance
And if they don't go far
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
One
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
Faint echoes in the light
They take another breath
They stole a chevy corvette
And raced down to LA
Trade it all for a secret life
Her dad wouldn′t find them there
Jessie said her skin felt good again
One
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
One
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
A hidden photograph
The night sky
The skyline
A wallet full of 20s
The new dawn
A lit cigarette
A leather jacket
And as the sky opened up
It was the first thing that we could own
And no one could take that away
One
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
One
Last
Time
Honey I need to know
Stuck in the middle of a landslide
I need your love
The lyrics of "Landslide" by Gryff describe a story of two lovers who are trying to escape their mundane lives and start anew. The song depicts their various attempts to find love, fulfillment, and happiness. They steal a car and drive down to LA, hoping to create a new life for themselves free from the constraints of their past. However, they find themselves caught up in a landslide, which can be seen as a metaphor for the difficulties and obstacles that the couple faces as they try to make a new life for themselves.
The repeated phrase "One last time, honey I need to know, stuck in the middle of a landslide, I need your love" implies a sense of urgency and desperation on the part of the singer, who wants to be reassured that they can count on their partner as they face the challenges ahead. The song ends with a list of images that evoke a sense of hope and possibility. This final section seems to suggest that despite the difficulties and uncertainty ahead, the couple remains hopeful that they can create a better future together.
