A Step Too Far
Aida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection than he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Radames
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half-ecstatic, half-dejected
All-in-all, I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Radames & Amneris
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Aida
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?
| Amneris It's so strange he doesn't show me More affection than he needs Almost formal, too respectful Never takes romantic leads There are times when I imagine I'm not always on his mind He's not thinking what I'm thinking Always half a step behind Always half a step behind | Radames I'm in every kind of trouble Can't you tell? Just look at me Half-ecstatic, half-dejected All-in-all, I'm all at sea Easy terms I thought I wanted Fill me now with chilling dread You could never know the chaos Of a life turned on it's head Of a life turned on it's head | Aida I am certain that I love him But a love can be misplaced Have I compromissed my people In my passion and my haste? I could be his life companion Anywhere but where we are Am I leader? Am I traitor? Did I take a step too far? Did I take a step too far? |

Did I take a step too far?
The song "A Step Too Far" is a powerful and emotional number from the musical Aida. The lyrics are sung by the three main characters: Amneris, Radames, and Aida. They each express their concerns about the choices they have made and the consequences of those choices. Amneris sings about her doubts concerning her relationship with Radames. She feels that Radames is distant and formal, never taking romantic leads or showing her the affection she desires. She worries that he is not committed to the relationship or does not think of her as often as she thinks of him. Radames then expresses his own troubles, feeling torn between his duties as a soldier and his love for Aida. He thought he wanted an easy life, but he now feels lost and uncertain. Finally, Aida sings about her love for Radames and her concern that her passion may have compromised her loyalty to her people. She wonders if she has become a traitor, taking a step too far in her love for him.
The overall theme of the song is the introspection and questioning of the characters' choices and the impact of those choices on their lives and the lives of those around them. The lyrics explore the complexities of love, duty, and loyalty and the difficult decisions that must be made when they conflict. The three different perspectives presented by the characters add depth and complexity to the song, providing a broader understanding of the situation and the emotional turmoil of the characters.
