Landslide Lyrics
can break without warning
You can put on your face, you can put on your smiles
The strain is still showing
You worked yourself sane right to the bone
and came up with nothing
But the thing you need most is about to be
Hold on it's coming now
Yeah
for someone to touch you inside
With life passing by you were one rock shy of a landslide
You're on the brink of becoming
Strap in, get ready to ride
You don't have to try, you're just one rock shy of a landslide
it would have to be never
You thought you were through, you thought you were dead
The movie was over
There was nothing to do but wait 'til the end
Man bring on the credits
But a wild wind blew you right on the screen
or it will if you'd let it
Yeah
for someone to touch you inside
With your life passing by you're just one rock shy of a landslide
You're on the brink of becoming
Strap in, get ready to ride
You're like blue to the sky
You're one rock shy of a landslide
for someone to touch you inside
With your life passing by you were one rock shy of a landslide
You're on the brink of becoming
Strap in, get ready to ride
You're like blue to the sky
You're one rock shy of a landslide
Shy of a landslide
One rock shy of a landslide

This is a really beautiful song, I think that it's about being on an emotional edge of sorts. The line "You're one rock shy of a landslide" more or less implies that you're just a small step from certain ruination.
@The Wordsmith He describes a man with a cinic life, a man that believed that the conditions not affect his life, a "free" man, he is a "rock shy on a landslide", he accept his condition but actually he's afraid to do something and only let it goes, even if this condition causes his ruin...

No one or nothing "touches him inside", arts or people can't move him, but he was waiting, all his life... a very sad condition...
