Baby Steps
Crimes Of The Conspiracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In "Baby Steps" by Crimes Of The Conspiracy, the lyrics touch on the theme of self-destruction in society. As humans progress, they are also moving closer to their ultimate end or demise. The question being posed is how many people will rush towards the end, instead of taking small steps to prolong their existence. This is showcased through the idea of baby steps, where people are hesitant to make significant changes and instead do little to nothing.
The singer expresses their desire to run towards change but acknowledges their limitations, settling for crawling instead. Despite this, they still feel compelled to express their dissatisfaction with society. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer is not alone in feeling this way and that society as a whole is in a state of decline.
Overall, "Baby Steps" is a commentary on the state of society and the human condition, urging listeners to take the necessary steps towards change before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
With every step, we come closer to our demise.
Every action we take brings us closer to our inevitable end.
How many will run to get it over with?
How many will take drastic measures to bring about their own end?
How many will drag it out with baby steps?
How many will prolong the inevitable with small, slow actions?
I prefer to run, but can't do much more than crawl.
I would choose to take big steps, but I am limited and can only take small ones.
Still I feel obliged to complain that society is shit.
Despite my shortcomings, I feel compelled to express my dissatisfaction with society.

You missed some really important details of the JonBenet case:
Police left the home with only one officer inside while they went off and did their own search of the town. That female officer tried repeatedly to get her sergeant to send more officers to close off the crime scene (because the family was calling over friends and a pastor to come to the home, ruining the integrity of the scene) but was basically just shrugged off and told that they'd 'get there when they could'.
JonBenet's father kept asking her if they should search the house and so she finally relented and said yes. He immediately went down stairs and brought up JonBenet's body. That alone didn't allow the police to see exactly where and how her body was placed.
Further, her father laid a blanket over top of her body, LITERALLY CONTAMINATING HER REMAINS.
Another thing is that you said her body was immediately taken away for autopsy. Her body remained on that floor for nine hours before she was taken to the medical examiners office. Yes, she was top priority for autopsy but she laid on the floor with people cycling in and out and cross contamination on her body for nine hours. I definitely wouldn't call that immediate.

I vividly remember when the Ramsey incident happened, as I was 19 going on 20. And it was just as bonkers in real time as it sounds in hindsight. It was as if every other day, there was a new lead that would take the police on a wild goose chase that went absolutely nowhere. And although it was never officially solved, I think that in the same way that the OJ/Nicole Brown Simpson case did, the mishandling of the Ramsey case changed the fundamental structure of law enforcement investigative practices nationwide, and completely changed the way the police conduct business. Today, we have the rigorous standards regarding said practices that we do because of cases like these.
However, regarding the Tromp story, I don’t remember anything about that. But what kind of confuses me, I guess, is why it even matters. I mean, no one died or was injured, aside from the hit and run, there’s no report of any crime being committed, and grown adults can choose to “go missing” if they want. I haven’t finished the video, though, so maybe I’m missing out on something...but it seems like more than anything, the public was just curious about the story.
Returning to the Ramsey case, I hope that either John or Burke has some sort of deathbed confessional at some point, because I do believe that they know what happened. The same goes for the Caylee/Casey Anthony case. Someone, at least one person, always knows the truth. Patsy (who is conveniently deceased) certainly “seemed” like she could be guilty and would be the obvious pick as a suspect. But I have watched several videos where body language experts review all the footage of her interviews and seem to all agree that she was being truthful.
The Ramsey case in particular went in so many directions from week to week that its actually difficult to even include them all in one video. And as I think you expressed well in this video, each turn was more bonkers than the next. Either way, at some point you have to hit ‘Reset’ and consider Occam’s Razor and/or the Law of Parsimony, both of which say that, more likely than not, the simplest explanation is typically the correct one. There were so many variables that would’ve had to play out in very specific ways to even make the idea of an outside intruder/stranger to the family plausible.
But we may never know.

This case haunts me. This is the most poorly handled murder case I can think of. And so many things were off like:
Why would an intruder take the time to write a ransom note (especially one as long as the note allegedly left for the Ramseys) inside the Ramsey home with the rest of the family sleeping upstairs? Unnecessarily risky.
Another thing- why would an intruder write a ransom note inside the Ramsey home but leave JBR body in the basement?
How did the intruder even know the exact value of the bonus ($118,000) that John Ramsey had recently received at work? If the intruder knew how rich this family was why did they demand such a small amount like $118,000?
Why did so many handwriting experts say that the note was most likely written by Patsy?
If that the intruder truly entered the Ramsey home via the broken window in the basement, how did they manage to do so without disturbing the cobweb in the corner of the windowsill?
If John, Patsy, and Burke are all innocent, why did they behave so bizarrely in the immediate wake of the murder (i.e. John and Patsy refusing to cooperate with detectives, Burke's interview with the child psychologist, etc.)?
Why was Burke heard screaming in the phone to 911?
Why was pineapple found in JBR stomach? Did the murderer feed her then kill her?? That was her favorite dish, and if her mother was telling the truth and they did go straight to bed. That should have never happened.
And finally JBR was knocked out for up to 45 to 2 hours- then killed. Did the murderer assume she as dead?

What's ironic is, there's really nothing particularly creepy or spooky about the place.
I've been on the tour twice and she was just a superstitious woman who also had a lot of health problems and disabilities. A lot of the "weirdness" of the mansion makes sense once you realize any person with that much money and that many health issues would completely customize their house to make life easier, too.
Claim: "She built hundreds of tiny stairs to confuse the spirit world!"
Reality: She had really bad arthritis and couldn't lift her legs very high without pain. Hence the hundreds of little bite sized steps to keep her from hurting as much.
She also was being taken advantage of by fake psychic mediums who benefitted from her obsession with seances and keeping her terrified of completing the home. Who knows how many people actually believed, and how many were just happy to continue getting paid?
The whole thing is more sad than it is scary.

I am a little confused as to why certain things just aren't being considered. If we can all agree that the ransom note is a little suspect, why are people so fixated on a forced entry? Or any part of the kidnapping narrative? What if it's all, even the parts police are assuming they know to be true and correct, fiction?
For years my theory has been that someone else was welcome into that house. Either they visited all the time and wouldn't need to force entry, or had their own key. For whatever reason, visits or complete access, they'd be extremely familiar with the house. Further, I hypothesize that this was a person who was present at their Christmas party that year, and that this is the person who was possible sexually abusing JonBenet.
In this scenario I'm constructing, the parents are aware of and complicit in this sexual abuse. Perhaps they are allowing someone into the home. My speculation is that her death was an unintentional result of the sexual abuse - an attempt to silence her or stop a struggle.
I believe that they possibly knew inviting people over would create a circus and contaminate the crime scene, and that one of the friends invited over for "support" may have in fact been her killer. Her brother was whisked away not for his own protection, but to be coached on what he should and shouldn't say to police and media, before he had the chance to be interviewed by anyone.
Most of all I truly believe they thought their plan to cover up how their daughter died, and what they were allowing people to do to her, was foolproof.
Edit: All my theories about JonBenet stem from the various videos and documentaries available, but here on YouTube notably Stephanie Harlowe's JonBenet video, Observe's body language read of JonBenet's parents and brother. This is what makes sense to me after taking into account multiple factors, including that the whole abduction may have been constructed to shift any investigation into CSA off family and friends and onto a stranger, which I believe her parents would be highly motivated to do, considering their position, relationships with other wealthy and powerful people, and reputation in their community.
