13th Floor
Journey to the 13th Floor: A Musical Escape into Light and Love
Lyrics
I went back to see my doctor
Seeking medical assistance, expressing concern about mental well-being.
I said man you've got to help me
Requesting help from the doctor for the issues with internal voices.
There's voices inside of my head
Acknowledging the presence of inner voices.
But what they say is to dark to see
Voices convey dark messages that are challenging to comprehend.
I'm going up to the 13th floor
Deciding to visit the 13th floor, possibly metaphorical for a different mental state or experience.
Come on baby let me show you how to live
Inviting someone to embrace a vibrant life.
Come on girl, I've got so much love to give
Expressing abundance of love to share.
Don't you know how it feels to take flight?
Asking if the listener understands the liberating feeling of taking flight.
And break into a dream by the end of the night
Describing the experience of entering a dream-like state by the end of the night.
I'm going up, I'm coming down
Repetition of the theme of ascending and descending, possibly reflecting emotional highs and lows.
Going up, I'm coming down
-Going up, I'm coming down
-Alright, to the 13th floor
Reaching the 13th floor, a symbolic destination.
Well I went back to see her again
Similar pattern to the first stanza, suggesting recurring visits to address mental struggles.
Think it's the fifteenth time this week
-And I am trying to block out those dark thoughts
-But what they say is startin' to leak
-I'm going up to the 13th floor
Reiterating the decision to go to the 13th floor.
Come on baby let me show you how to live
Repetition of the theme of going up and coming down.
Come on girl, I've got so much love to give
-Don't you know how it feels to take flight?
-And break into a dream by the end of the night
-I'm going up, I'm coming down
-Going up, I'm coming down
-Going up, I'm coming down
-Alright, to the 13th floor
-One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve
Numerical countdown, possibly signifying a transition or a countdown to a significant moment.
Come on baby let me show you how to live
Reiteration of the invitation, the abundance of love, and the transformative experience of taking flight.
Come on girl, I've got so much love to give
-Don't you know how it feels to take flight?
-And break into a dream by the end of the night
-I'm going up, I'm coming down
-Going up, I'm coming down
-Going up, I'm coming down
-Alright, to the 13th floor
Final affirmation of reaching the 13th floor.
