Stairway to Heaven

[PeeWee1473]

Probably no meaning whatsoever, but dear christ don't let this thread turn into a discussion on the song played backwards.

 

[i aint play this]

I heard that if you play this song backwards you can hear the words ''my sweet satan''. Could anyone confirm this fact?

thnx

That website with their stupid conviction that it is about Jesus and God. What the fuck. It's simply isn't. Thinking it is is just paranoia. In my opinion, that song doesn't specifically means something. It's possible to write lyrics "unconsciously" without giving them specific meanings, but just the expression of what you currently feel. And drugs.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

it's about a chick robert plant knew, he said he watched her slowly kill herself through cocaine addiction.

 

[neuroticandroid]

it's a hodgepodge of nonsensical fairy tale and mythical references put into the single most overrated (but still among my top 3 favorites) song EVER WRITTEN.

I think a thread about the song and its meaning, should at least have the lyrics.

After reading through it I reckon Alteredmindeath is close, but im not sure.
Im not all that good at deciphiring lyrics to tell the truth.

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

 

[grey knight]

I think The Sixth Extinction is better.

But this is reeeally interesting song anyway, haven't heard too many times so it's hard to say.

 

[Widows Sulk]

all lyrics are meaningless

Thats the stupidest thing ive ever seen posted.

 

[i aint play this]

Goddamn there is absolutely no possibility of those Stairway to Heaven lyrics making any sense.

 

[Blackwater Demon]
