Although their existence and their working together has been an open secret for some time, the band was not in a hurry to go officially public. They have been working for more than a year perfecting their tunes, which can be described as more eclectic, modern and experimenting than their previous projects. Albeit being eclectic, their show is absolutely song-centric. Bin-Jip is a very democratic community, where the musicians are almost peers in writing, arranging the songs and being producers of the project. They not only contribute with their own instruments, but they shape the songs’ structure, sounds and effects together. After a year of work they have recorded a whole album’s worth of exciting music. The name “Bin-Jip” comes from the Korean motion picture, which is a well-liked movie of the members. But beyond that, the name was chosen because in the movie the story took place mainly indoors, just like the band, which existed only in Andrew J’s living-room up until now. That is where the songs were written and the musicians became a band.

BIN-JIP Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bending a line
Or tearing it apart
Isn't quite the same
Can't go on as I came
What I've had to grasp
Pulled me more and more into you
But more than I would have bet
Somehow separate

I guess this is why you said
Easy baby, step by step
Step by step

I guess this is why you warned
Patiently will we grow in love
We'll grow in love

Now we are one step ahead or one step behind
This restless state in the middle still pushes me to hide

And seek a little piece of mind - where I am to find
I've been through cases when the challenge was to
Move on and start something new, something different
Tough it is to keep holding on, but I know that I have to
Oh I have to

I guess this is why you said
Easy baby, step by step
Step by step
I guess this is why you warned
Patiently will we grow in love
we'll grow in love
I guess this is why you said
Easy baby, step by step
Step by step
I guess this is why you warned

Patiently will we grow in love
we'll grow in love

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of Step, BIN-JIP sing about the complexity of the human relationship. The opening line: "Bending a line or tearing it apart, isn't quite the same," appears to be a metaphor for the complexity of relationships. Relationships are complex, and sometimes, it is difficult to determine whether one is bending, tearing the bond or maintaining equilibrium. The singer then acknowledges that they can't go on how they came, indicating the need to progress and develop the relationship.

The lyrics suggest that what the singer grasped has led them more and more towards their partner. The line: "Pulled me more and more into you," seems to suggest that the singer has developed deeper feelings for their partner. However, the next line, "But more than I would have bet, somehow separate," suggests that there is still a disconnect between the two, and there is still work to be done for them to become one.

The chorus: "Easy baby, step by step, we'll grow in love," presents the idea that the singer and their partner must take each step gradually and carefully to grow in love. The song then ends with lines that suggest that the progress made in the relationship could sometimes be shaky, and it may be challenging to hold on. Nevertheless, the singer acknowledges that, despite the difficulties, they have to keep holding on.

Line by Line Meaning

Bending a line
Adapting to change or transforming oneself

Or tearing it apart
Alternatively, breaking away from the norm and disrupting what's expected

Isn't quite the same
Each action results in different outcomes and consequences

Can't go on as I came
Cannot continue along the same path or in the same manner

What I've had to grasp
Coming to terms with a new reality or truth

Pulled me more and more into you
Guided towards a deeper connection or relationship

But more than I would have bet
Unexpectedly profound impact or effect

Somehow separate
Despite the closeness, maintaining individuality and independence

I guess this is why you said
Acknowledging and heeding the advice given

Easy baby, step by step
Take it slow and steady, one small action at a time

I guess this is why you warned
Foreseeing potential difficulties and offering caution
