This is particularly interesting because 顺台阶而上 means "rising to the top" figuratively but in the case of #Piltover and #Zaun this can also be taken literally

#Piltover is the "topside" and #Zaun is the undercity

11/n

In some cases this reflects the failure of #Piltover's council and how they have literally been sweeping aside #Zaun's concerns

9/n

Another interpretation is 'untempered'. This can represent #Piltover simply papering over the cracks appearing in #Zaun, the undercity, simply dusting off their problems

8/n

One of them means 'crazy', which in this case is #PowderJinx, as in the 6th stanza lyric "they said they want to inhibit your craziness, like wiping off a stain"

To me this is a direct reference to handing #PowderJinx to #Piltover to secure peace between the cities

7/n

The fifth stanza asks outright "who said that the definition of heroes applies only to those who stand in the light?"

This seems to juxtapose #Piltover (e.g. #Jayce) with #Zaun

5/n
