Song Description

The extended, beautifully orchestrated introduction conjures up a floating feeling, as if you've just jumped out of a crashing plane and are suspended from a parachute, not sure what your next move should be. The haunting female vocals hover above the electronic flutes, desperately but hopefully pleading to stick together during this unexpected emergency landing: it?s not clear whether we?ll make it or not, but we have no choice but to try. As the drums and bass kick in to support the catchy and moving melody, the intensity increases: don?t let me go now, we need each other.

Lyrics

Emergency Landing

Verse:
This is an emergency landing
This is no time to lose control
My body aches and it?s going to pieces
This is no time for letting go

Verse:
This parachute is much too small
This plan is not too sound
The city?s empty as it bends on the horizon
This is no time to turn around

Bridge:
Don?t let me crash
I won?t let you burn
You can?t look back now
Get your feet on the ground
There is no time
To turn around
Around

Verse:
This is an emergency landing
This is not a typical escape
My hands are searching for a better ending
I?m starting over before it?s too late

Bridge:
Don?t let me crash
I won?t let you burn
You can?t look back now
Get your feet on the ground
There is no time
To turn around, to turn around

This is no time
