The First Step
Fiction Factory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It burns her heart like a sun-struck desert plain
Closer than this
Lost this soul in the sand that knows no rain
More bitter than this
A taste that's sour for years and she can't lose
More bitter than this
Stop!
We brave the strength of our emotions all our lives
It turns creation and elation into strife
The first step is the hardest
And some things are even left alone
More pressure than this
This brittle love reveals a flaw
More pressures than this
A subtle beauty is no more
Further than this
It devastates the peace we fought to fake
Further than this
And peace will flourish only when we
Stop!
We brave the strength of our emotions all our lives
It turns creation and elation into strife
The first step is the hardest
And some things are even left alone
I know the truth lies here
It's basking in glory
And as for the lies we read about
Another story, this is another story,,,
The first step is the hardest
And some things are even left alone
This is another story...
The song "The First Step" by Fiction Factory appears to be about the struggle of navigating intense emotions and taking action towards what needs to be done, even when it's difficult. The first verse describes the pain of being close to someone or something that causes deep hurt, and the bitterness that lingers for years. The chorus speaks to the difficulty of dealing with emotions, which can turn positive experiences into negative ones. The line "the first step is the hardest" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that taking action towards resolving emotional difficulties can be challenging.
The second verse further explores the pressures of life and the difficulties of love, which can reveal flaws and take away from the subtle beauty of relationships. The lines "further than this, it devastates the peace we fought to fake" suggest that it's important to take the first step towards resolving emotional struggles in order to achieve true peace and happiness. The third verse mentions a truth that is "basking in glory," indicating that there is a positive outcome to be achieved by facing difficult emotions head on, rather than avoiding them or leaving them unaddressed.
Overall, "The First Step" seems to encourage listeners to take action towards resolving emotional difficulties, even if it feels daunting. While the song doesn't explicitly describe what actions to take, it suggests that the first step is the most difficult but also the most important.
