"Landslide" is Nicks singing about getting out of the very nasty marriage to Lindsey Buckingham. Granted, FM was a drug fueled hellhole that brought out the worst in everyone, but this was directed at Lindsey, a song that says "Sorry, we have to move on." That is perfect as America finally divorces itself from the asshole boyfriends and abusive spouses that are the GOP.

"iv'e been afraid of changing//cause Iv'e built my life around you
but time makes you bolder//children get older
I'm getting older too..

I took my love//I took it down
Climbed a mountain and turned around
and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
the landslide will take it down.'
