Song Meaning
Cory Asbury's rendition of 'Landslide' is a cover of the classic Fleetwood Mac song, originally written by Stevie Nicks. The lyrics reflect on love, change, and the passage of time, with imagery of mountains, snow, and a landslide symbolizing life's overwhelming moments. The narrator questions love and their ability to navigate life's seasons, expressing fear of change because they've built their life around someone. The song acknowledges that time brings boldness and aging, and ultimately suggests that if one sees their reflection in the snow-covered hills, the landslide will bring them down. While the song is not explicitly Christian, Asbury's version may be interpreted through a spiritual lens, but the lyrics themselves focus on personal reflection and human experience.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
And the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
So, take my love and take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Then the landslide will bring you down
If you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Then the landslide will bring you down
Yeah the landslide will bring you down
