The Staircase
Xeno Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A parade crosses the dead center of my heart
You come, clicking your heels
A melody, just learned, to an empty plaza
Lighting a rose-colored lamp and moving on

Lively dreams soon slip through your two hands
And confetti dances up in a tiny wind

Rather than tears of farewel,l try carefully placing
The excitement of meeting inside your heart

The syncopation you left behind in your shoeprints
Continues on beyond the morning mist
In a town somewhere, in someone's dreams
It's gone to light a warm lamp

Rather than the sadness of farewells, the joy of meeting
Piles up bit by bit, facing the light

A staircase rises in spirals to the sky
And, piercing the red rainclouds, becomes a rainbow

No matter where you are, though you may be in a distant

and
If you listen hard, you can hear it--that song

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Xeno's "The Staircase" describe the feelings of a person who is experiencing a mixture of joy and sadness. The first verse talks about a parade crossing the center of their heart, likely symbolizing a time of celebration or happiness. However, the arrival of someone special makes them feel even more joyful, as indicated by the sound of clicking heels and a new melody. The imagery of lighting a rose-colored lamp suggests that the person is creating a warm and welcoming environment, perhaps for someone they care about.

The second verse talks about how these happy feelings are fleeting, slipping away like lively dreams that are difficult to hold onto. However, instead of crying over the goodbye, the person tries to focus on the joy of meeting again. The syncopation left behind in the other person's shoeprints indicates that they have left an impression on the person's heart, even though they are gone. This impression travels on to a town somewhere, in someone's dreams, where it lights a warm lamp. This suggests that the joy of the meeting will continue to bring happiness to others who learn about it.

The final verse introduces the image of a staircase that rises in spirals to the sky and pierces the red rainclouds to become a rainbow. This symbolizes the hope and beauty that can be found even in sadness, suggesting that the person will find joy again. The final line of the song hints at the idea that the joy of meeting will endure, even if the person is physically far away. The lyrics show that even though goodbyes can be sad, it is important to focus on the joy that came before them and to trust that happiness will come again.
