It's odd having first heard The Antlers through their album Hospice which was so sorrowful and melancholy, hearing them so joyful and escapist here. I sort of imagine this song about (as it suggests) climbing a staircase and climbing away from all the stress, anger and fear of our everyday lives and finding relief in the fact that everything that makes up our lives is, in the grand scheme of things tiny. I know that's a bit cliche and cheesy, but that's how I see it.
