What does Led Zepp's "Stairway to Heaven" mean?

This song is about a woman who accumulates money, but finds out the hard way her life has no meaning and her monetary wealth will not get her into heaven.

There is no real meaning. Robert Plant & Jimmy Page just sat down and came up with chords & lyrics. Everyone has their own personal meaning of the song tho ( so it really doens't have a true meaning). And one i see a lot is the one about the girl being materialistic. So you could have your own meaning or try looking up some interviews with the band on the topic. Also about the whole satanic stuff. That's bull.

It has its own unique meaning to everyone. To some, it is about a girl who is materialistic. Personally, I think its more about life and the paths that we can choose to take.

that whole controversy with the backmasking is crap. it's just a bunch of fundies with too much time on their hands. but heretic_hunter is the perfect name lol

Worshiping our dark lord SATAN!!!!

i'm just kidding. You find your own meaning in it.

if you backmask(play lyrics backwards) it then it talks about satan and hell

google backmasking or go to the website below it will show the original and the backmasked version of the song with lyrics for both

it doesn't mean anything.
