The Stairs - INXS

Lanzada en 1990 como parte del séptimo álbum de estudio de la banda, “X” , una canción que explora las experiencias compartidas de personas que ocupan un mismo espacio, a pesar de tener vidas y tragedias muy diferentes, la idea de mirar hacia adentro y confrontar los demonios internos. Las escaleras mencionadas en la canción representan metafóricamente los pasos que uno debe dar para alcanzar un estado de autodescubrimiento. La conmovedora voz de Michael Hutchence captura maravillosamente la esencia de este viaje introspectivo; las complejidades de la autoaceptación y las luchas que se enfrentan en el camino del autodescubrimiento. Alienta a las personas a enfrentar sus miedos, incertidumbres e inseguridades de frente. En definitiva, “The Stairs” sirve como un himno de aliento, recordándonos que el crecimiento personal a menudo requiere aventurarse hacia lo desconocido y enfrentar los desafíos que tenemos por delante.

In a room above a busy street The echoes of a life The fragments and the accidents Separated by incidents Listen to by the walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Listen to by the walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements The nature of your tragedy Is chained around your neck Do you lead or are you lead? Are you sure that you don't care? There are reasons here to give your life And follow in your way The passion lives to keep your faith Though all are different all are great Climbing as we fall We dare to hold on to our fate And steal away our destiny To catch ourselves with quiet grace Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other on the stairs Listen to by the walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other on the stairs Letra de The Stairs © Chardonnay Investments Ltd., Xl Publishing Pty.
