Song Meaning of “Landing” by ØYSTEIN SEVÅG
Landing, by Øystein Sevåg, is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on life’s journey. It speaks to the idea of coming down from a high, or struggling to land from a mental or emotional transition period. The lyrics allude to searching for peace, that even when burdened with the trappings of life, we are still able to find “a peace that remains”.
The song takes on a more somber tone as it progresses, underscoring the notion that clarity might ultimately come from the realization that there is an inherent futility in trying to control life, and that true contentment comes from learning to let go. Ultimately, the song suggests that it’s in those moments of clarity that we find the ability to “land” and begin to feel free.
