Downstairs
Sophya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of sighing down below
I opened up my eyes, what was it
I donโฒt know
From far out it came out,
I knew it was alive, or was it in my dreams
Another story died.
I went down the stairs, everything was dark
And on the last one sat, an angel torn apart
I tried to call it but
The crying was too loud
My wings are falling out, i am falling all apart
There is no more room to fly, and i can't even die.
The opening lines of Sophya's song "Downstairs" create an eerie and puzzling atmosphere. The singer describes hearing a voice coming from down below, which is strange enough to make them open their eyes to see what is happening. The ambiguity of the voice is also bewildering, as it is not clear whether the voice is inside the singer's dream or a real-life occurrence. The lyrics create a sense of unease and mystery that is further enhanced by the singer's tone of voice.
As the song progresses, the singer decides to investigate the strange voice and ventures down a staircase that is shrouded in darkness. At the bottom of the stairs, the singer encounters an angel who appears to be in a state of disrepair. The image of an angel who is torn apart creates a sense of tragedy and despair. The singing then tries to call out to the angel, but the crying is too loud, and the singer begins to disintegrate themselves. The last lines of the song suggest that the singer has lost control over their ability to fly and is falling apart, both literally and metaphorically.
In conclusion, "Downstairs" is a haunting and surreal song that creates confusion and discomfort in the listener's mind. The lyrics are open to multiple interpretations, making it a fascinating song to analyze.
