Stairway To Heaven
M.P.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder
I want another year older
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder
And share a bed with me
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder
I want another year older
And share a bed with me
Get this something out of my head
There's too much shit going on my brain
Hurry hurry hurry hurry
Cause I think I'm gonna go insane
Whatever whatever whatever whatever
I know I know you know you're clever
So seduce me, introduce me
On the list you've had forever
My brain is on fire, my brain is on fire
So whisper in my ear
When it's all over, when it's all over
You can come and kiss me right here
My brain is on fire, my brain is on fire
So whisper in my ear
When it's all over, when it's all over
You can call me, kiss me right here
The lyrics to M.P.B's song "Stairway to Heaven" are quite ambiguous, and can be interpreted in many different ways. The title of the song itself is a reference to Led Zeppelin's iconic song of the same name, which is often considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. However, M.P.B's song has a more introspective tone, with the lyrics seemingly describing a desire for a deeper connection with someone else, perhaps even a kind of spiritual transcendence.
The repeated refrain of "lean on my shoulder" and "share a bed with me" suggests a desire for intimacy and closeness, but the lines "there's too much shit going on my brain" and "my brain is on fire" indicate a kind of mental turmoil or anxiety. The lyrics also reference seduction and introducing someone "on the list you've had forever," which could be interpreted as a desire for new experiences or connections with others. Overall, the song seems to be about a search for meaning and connection in a world that can feel overwhelming and confusing.
