Landslide

The speaker looks back at a relationship and realizes that change is unavoidable. At first, the thought of change is frightening because her life has been built around someone else. As she reflects on getting older, the mood shifts toward acceptance: time may make people more confident, even as it carries them into new stages of life.

The mountain and snow-covered hills create an image of distance and self-reflection: after climbing high and turning around, the speaker sees herself from a new perspective. The “landslide” suggests a powerful change that sweeps away what once felt stable; it may refer to a relationship ending or to a broader personal upheaval. The “changing ocean tides” and “seasons” compare life to natural cycles that cannot be fully controlled.

The questions about love, the “child within my heart,” and handling life’s seasons show uncertainty rather than a simple answer. The speaker may be asking whether she can grow beyond old fears while keeping her vulnerable, younger self. The final “maybe” leaves the outcome open: the same change that has brought her down could affect the other person too. Overall, the lyrics hold both sadness and a tentative willingness to move forward.
