Stairway to Heaven
Slamm Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
There is a woman who believes that everything that shines is valuable, even if it may not be the case.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
This lady is trying to attain or reach a state of euphoria or happiness, which she believes to be the ultimate goal of human life.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
The lady is confident that she'll reach her destination, and if she faces any obstacles, she has a solution or an alternative in mind to overcome them.

With a word she can get what she came for.
She can easily maneuver her way out of any situation with just a word or action, and get what she desires.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
This lady is obsessed with the idea of achieving her goal, and is trying her best to get there by any means necessary.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
Although she has an idea of what she wants, she's not entirely certain and wants to be absolutely sure before making any decisions.

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
She is aware that things are not always as they seem, and sometimes there is a deeper underlying meaning that needs to be uncovered.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Nature always has a way of communicating, even in the form of a simple songbird, and it's up to us to listen and understand.

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Our thoughts and beliefs can sometimes be misguided, and it's our responsibility to reflect and introspect to ensure we're on the right track.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
This idea of finding the ultimate goal or destination is making the artist question the very idea of what that goal truly is.

Ooh, it makes me wonder.
The singer is feeling skeptical about the whole journey and whether it's even worth pursuing in the first place.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
The artist gets a sense of nostalgia or reminiscence when looking towards the west, which signifies a sense of longing or leaving something behind.

And my spirit is crying for leaving.
The singer's inner self is urging them to move forward and leave behind the past, and achieve a new goal or purpose.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
The singer's imagination is conjuring up visions of smoke rings through trees, which symbolizes the elusive and intangible nature of goals that we imagine in our minds.

And the voices of those who stand looking.
The singer can hear the voices of people who are standing and watching, which implies that these people may have also embarked on a similar journey at some point in their lives.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
The artist is still questioning the idea of achieving an ultimately fulfilling goal in life, and whether it's even possible.

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
The idea of having a definitive answer to the question of what makes life fulfilling is still very much up in the air for the artist.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
There is a belief or a rumor that if everyone comes together and works towards the same goal, they can achieve something collectively that was once thought to be impossible.

Then the piper will lead us to reason.
If there is a unifying factor or a common goal that everyone can work towards, a leader or a piper can guide them towards that goal.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
If we persevere and continue to work towards the goal, we will eventually reach a new, brighter day or a better state of being.

And the forests will echo with laughter.
The reference to the forest or the woods signifies the abundance of life in nature, and if we work towards a common goal, we can live in harmony with nature and be happy.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
If there are unexpected or sudden changes in your path or journey, don't panic or be alarmed, as they may be a necessary spring cleaning or disturbance in your life, just like how seasons change.

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
The reference to the spring cleaning is a nod to fresh starts and new beginnings, which the queen of the May symbolizes in folklore.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There may be multiple paths you can take in life, but the artist believes that in the long term, they will all lead to the same end.

There's still time to change the road you're on.
It's never too late to change your path or direction in life, and to start working towards a new goal or purpose.

And it makes me wonder.
The themes of doubt and skepticism return, and the singer is still questioning the validity of setting and achieving goals.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
This line refers to a feeling of overwhelm or confusion in your own thoughts, and the singer is urging everyone to pay attention to their mental state and seek help if necessary.

The piper's calling you to join him,
The piper or the leader is still urging everyone to work together and join forces to achieve a common goal.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
The artist is addressing the lady once again, and asking her if she's paying attention to the world around her, and if she knows that her journey or goal may be dictated by external factors.

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
The idea of a stairway to heaven is not a physical one, but a metaphorical one, and it represents the journey towards fulfillment and self-actualization that lies within ourselves.

And as we wind on down the road
The journey continues, and the singer is urging everyone to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult it may get.

Our shadows taller than our soul.
The reference to shadows represents our past and the burdens we carry with us, which may sometimes feel heavier than our very being or soul.

There walks a lady we all know
The reference to the lady here could signify the journey towards self-discovery and actualization, which is a journey that we all ultimately undertake.

Who shines white light and wants to show
The lady now represents a light or beacon of hope towards the ultimate goal, and she wants to help others achieve that as well.

How everything still turns to gold.
Everything we do or experience in life has the potential to be valuable or meaningful in the greater scheme of things, and we should strive to find that value and worth.

And if you listen very hard
This is a call to pay attention to the world around us, and to introspect on our own thoughts and feelings to further our journey.

The tune will come to you at last.
If we listen hard enough, we will eventually find the answers or the tune towards achieving our goals.

When all is one and one is all
This line represents the idea of oneness and unity, and how everything in the world is interconnected and interdependent upon each other.

To be a rock and not to roll.
The final line is a call to action, urging everyone to be steadfast in their determination and to not give up on their journey to achieve greater fulfillment and actualization in their lives.
