Stepping Stone
Fly Golden Eagle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well although I've been forgiven, a sinner I still remain.
I was born abandoned, left hungered by the soles of my shoes.
And I'm still'a remain there especially because of you.
I ain't your stepping stone.
I ain't your stepping stone.
All my cards lay on the table, and bled with you with the money in high stakes.
Well me and my friends we do whatever the fuck we've gotta do, just to get, laid.
Well all of the sound with our friends and our friend and our kid, all do it.
I ain't your stepping stone.
I ain't your stepping stone.
In "Stepping Stone," Fly Golden Eagle tells the story of a person who feels burdened by the weight of their past and their present circumstances. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer was born into sin, but despite being forgiven, they still view themselves as a sinner. The next set of lyrics speaks to their abandonment and hunger, most likely as a child, which has left them feeling stuck and unable to move on. They blame someone else for their current state of being, as demonstrated by the line "especially because of you."
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I ain't your stepping stone," which could represent the singer's declaration of independence and refusal to be used or manipulated by anyone. This could also be interpreted as a rejection of societal expectations, where people feel pressure to conform to certain standards or norms.
The second verse speaks to the singer's risk-taking tendencies, particularly when it comes to gambling. They are willing to bet on almost anything and are willing to put their money where their mouth is. However, the line "bled with you with the money in high stakes" alludes to the idea that they may be getting burned by someone they trusted. The final lines of the song speak to the singer's determination to do whatever it takes to get ahead in life, whether that means breaking the rules or bending the truth to get what they want.
Overall, "Stepping Stone" is a song that speaks to the struggles of being human, particularly when it comes to facing challenges and overcoming obstacles. It also encourages listeners to take control of their lives and not allow themselves to be used or manipulated by those around them.
