Stairway
Hounding Hearts in the Storm: Unraveling the Emotion Behind 'Stairway'
Lyrics
Standing in the eye of the storm
Feeling a sense of calm or detachment amidst chaos.
I feel nothing while the world
Experiencing emotional numbness as the world undergoes turmoil.
Is tearing apart, apart
Observing the world falling apart.
Don't know how I got to this place
Expressing confusion about the current situation.
Wanna run But you say I'm going nowhere
Desiring to escape, but being told there's no destination.
You stole the stairway up to my heart
Metaphorically referring to someone taking a significant place in the speaker's emotions.
And I'm helpless
Expressing a feeling of being without power.
But I'm hounding you
Continuing to pursue or follow despite helplessness.
With my heart
Reiterating the emotional pursuit, emphasizing the heart's involvement.
My heart
-And I'm helpless
-But I'm hounding you
-With my heart
-My heart
-I'll get up and wake up from my sleep
Committing to awakening from complacency.
Cos I was getting way too comfortable
Realizing a comfort zone that needs to be disrupted.
This ain't the place to decide my fate
Rejecting the current state as inappropriate for determining destiny.
Don't hold me closer and then forget
Warning against getting too close and then being forgotten.
Don't hold me now and then regret
Cautioning against holding the speaker now and regretting it later.
Cos you stole the stairway up to my heart
Repeating the metaphor of someone taking a significant place in the speaker's emotions.
And I'm helpless
Reiterating the theme of helplessness and persistent pursuit with the heart.
But I'm hounding you
-With my heart
-My heart
-And I'm helpless
-But I'm hounding you
-With my heart
-My heart
-And I'm helpless
Continuing the theme of helplessness and persistent pursuit with the heart.
But I'm hounding you
-With my heart
-My heart
-And I'm helpless
-But I'm hounding you
-With my heart
-My heart
