The Ladder
Woes and Wanderlust: Andrew Belle's Ladder of Love and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Woe is me
Expressing distress or sorrow about a situation.
Faithless you and selfish me
Describing a lack of faith and self-centered behavior.
I will leave a key for you outside my doorway
Promising to provide access, possibly symbolic, to one's inner self.
Woe is me
Reiterating a sense of distress or sorrow.
One if by the land or two by sea
Referring to different ways of leaving, suggesting uncertainty or options.
So won't you leave for me a light outside your doorway
Requesting a guiding light from the other person.
On a ladder from there to here we'll climb
Describing a journey or progression together.
All this clatter between my ears I find
Acknowledging mental noise or confusion.
Does it matter if I can't clear my mind
Questioning the significance of clearing one's mind.
There's a right and a wrong time
Highlighting the importance of timing in decision-making.
Woe is me
Repeating a sense of distress, but now with a touch of sentimentality.
Sentimental you and faithful me
Describing a mix of sentimental feelings and faithfulness.
I will be the one to gaze on you discreetly
Expressing a desire to observe the other person discreetly.
Slow your speed
Advising the other person to slow down and follow.
Turn yourself around and follow me
Encouraging a change in direction to be pursued together.
'Cause I will be the one who preys upon you sweetly
Stating an intention to approach the other person with sweetness.
On a ladder from there to here we'll climb
Reiterating the idea of climbing a ladder together.
All this clatter between my ears I find
Acknowledging mental noise or confusion again.
Does it matter if I can't clear my mind
Questioning the importance of clearing one's mind, once more.
There's a right and a wrong time
Emphasizing the significance of timing in decisions.
Ooh
Repeating vocalizations, possibly conveying emotions or reflections.
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-On a ladder from there to here I'll climb
Restating the intention to climb a ladder together.
All this clatter between my ears I find
Recalling mental noise or confusion.
Does it matter if I can't clear my mind
Pondering the relevance of clearing one's mind.
There's a right and a wrong time
Reiterating the importance of timing in decision-making.
There's a right and a wrong time
Emphasizing the existence of a right and wrong time.
There's a right and a wrong time
-Ooh
Repeating vocalizations, possibly concluding the emotional expression.
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
