First Floor People Lyrics
First floor people
I'll take my place among the throngs
Everyone reading books on how not to fall
Some may say, the world looks
The same through red eyes, no way
Covered in dirt off the floor, I'm seeing straight
don't be scared if you know
Help me to explain myself
Who am I to fool now if you're gone, you're gone
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
Prepared people, take your places on deck
I'm a lost boy with no one to tell me I am safe
Overarching rules have told me not to think about
Who am I to fool now if you're gone, you're gone?
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
This hole is deeper by the hour
My hands are bleeding I spin around, you're nowhere
I'll throw away my ugly plans
They're too tired to push me anywhere but down
So who am I to fool now if you're gone, you're gone
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
So who am I to fool now if you're gone, you're gone
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
I'll take my place among the throngs
Everyone reading books on how not to fall
The same through red eyes, no way
Covered in dirt off the floor, I'm seeing straight
Help me to explain myself
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
I'm a lost boy with no one to tell me I am safe
Overarching rules have told me not to think about
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
My hands are bleeding I spin around, you're nowhere
I'll throw away my ugly plans
They're too tired to push me anywhere but down
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate
If I am found below the ground
I'm searching, desperate

One of my all time favorite songs, something is so so sad about it ♥
I believe "first floor people" are those who live on earth, reading "books on how not to fall" and simply going through the monotony of life with no thoughts on what happens after. I guess those on the "second floor" would be those in heaven or the afterlife. "This hole is deeper by the hour-my hands are bleeding, I spin around. You're nowhere." To me, this lyrics seems like Jesus, taking the cross and being separated from God for that time of death, because he graciously took on our sins. He's suffering for human kind, turns around, and realizes He has to do it alone for human kind. How lovely~
I agree with the whole heaven and earth and hell thing. In the beginning they're talking about being a believer in the touch situations 'being covered in dirt from the floor I'm seeing straight'. Then the main melody sounds like someone's died and the singer is struggling to believe in heaven 'who am I to fool now if you're gone, you're gone'. They're saying that they're fooling themselves believing in God. And because they've lost faith they go to hell 'if i am found below the ground', then they'll be searching and desperate. It fits in all the lines....

Then the whole feel of the song changes for the part that might be talking about Jesus. I hadn't even considered christanity was the song until you mentioned it.
most beautiful song i've ever heard
