Second Staircase
Unveiling the Hidden Emotions: The Secret Staircase of Heartache
Lyrics
There is a second staircase
There is a secondary path or hidden aspect.
Leading from a chamber of my heart
This path is connected to a deep emotional space within me.
Concealed behind a bookcase
It is concealed or not easily accessible, like a secret.
Leading up into the dark
This path leads into an unknown or challenging territory.
And the second staircase
Emphasizing the existence of this hidden emotional journey.
Is tearing the house apart.
This hidden aspect is causing turmoil and disturbance.
There’s a secret number
There's a concealed code or significance.
Written on a ticket in a drawer
This code is stored away, possibly relating to a relationship.
I don’t know if I love her
Uncertain about the depth of my feelings for her.
But I’ve been crazy since I saw her
Intense emotions since encountering her.
There is a second staircase
Reiteration of the hidden emotional path only known to the speaker.
Only I know what it’s for.
The purpose of this emotional journey is known exclusively to the speaker.
It is burning through my mind
Intense preoccupation or obsession with this hidden aspect.
Don’t wanna leave it all behind
Reluctance to abandon or forget about it.
I built it all up from the ground
Recognition of the effort put into building something meaningful.
Why would I tear the old place down?
Questioning the decision to dismantle the established order.
So I blocked the second staircase
Actively blocking or obstructing access to the hidden emotional path.
Behind some old junk we never use
Hiding the emotional journey behind neglected items.
I threw the ticket in the fireplace
Symbolic act of destroying evidence or forgetting.
Forgot everything I knew
Intentional forgetting of all related knowledge.
Cos beyond the second staircase
Because beyond this hidden path is a life without the person in question.
Is life without you
The emotional path is crucial for life with the person.
I can’t take the second staircase
Expressing the emotional burden of facing this hidden aspect.
It’s all too much to lose.
The stakes are too high to take this emotional journey.
