This is a magnificent musical representation of what it feels like to be searching for the answers to life and the universe. The lyrical narrative is more metaphorical than literal, and represents the lead singers ambitious search to find the answer (cause) to life (effect); where the attic represents the answer (to everything i.e god), and the ladder represents the search. On the closing track, "Stairs to the Attic", Silberman describes the staircase expanding, similarly to the universe.
