Step Out
Jose Gonzalez(호세 곤잘레즈) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to step out, time to step out
Time to step outside, time to step outside
Time to step outside you
House on fire, leave it all behind you
Dark as night, let the lightning guide you
Time to step outside, time to step outside
Time to step outside you
House on fire, leave it all behind you.
Living life, feeding appetites.
Stayed through every hard stop, every go.
Being bland
Breathing half the time.
House on fire, leave it all behind you.
Dark as night, let the lightning guide you
Time to step outside, time to step outside
Time to step out, time to step out
Broke tooth Monday
Something's not the same
Blank head, crossed eyes sweep the floor.
Feel your presence
in your absence shut the door.
House on fire, leave it all behind you
Dark as night, let the lightning guide you
Time to step outside, time to step outside
Time to step out
The song Step Out by Jose Gonzalez is a call to action in times of crises. The lyrics "Time to step outside, Time to step outside, Time to step out" urges the listener to leave their comfort zone and face whatever challenges that are facing them. The repetition of this line emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The line "House on fire, leave it all behind you" is a metaphor for when situations are critical and life-threatening, one has to leave everything behind and save their life. The second verse talks about the feelings of dullness, repetition, and boredom in life. The line "Breathing half the time" creates an image of someone who is just going through the motions of living, not really living. The metaphor of "Dark as night, let the lightning guide you" is a metaphor for when in darkness, look for guidance in the form of light.

+P1tri0t In my opinion this movie, Walter mitty could only talk to people like you and I. I like a lot of different movies and I'm very hard with the critics but this movie is particular. It talks to people who need more...more live..more travel... more beautiful things and generosity. But nowadays a lot of people like destroy other lives or other things they don't need and they don't want to live like the dreamers.
We are dreamers and Walter Mitty could only talk with dreamers so you can be glad and proud because you are a dreamer.
Sorry For English I'm a Frenchie.
Wolf, a dreamer.

Bloodshed إراقة الدماء / i tell everyone i’m rish (in thailand if you can make 50k bath per month you are rish cuz in thailand everything have a cheap price), my dad is police (colonel) everyone in thailand know thai police are very rish. and i have my used shirt business and that can make 50k-70k for me.

(2022) and still my favorite movie 'cause it's not just a movie, is a lesson by itself
I started to live:got married, cried, Laught, loved
now we are saving money to travel through our country, then the world
(2024 update) still my favorite movie: I'm now divorced, and I'm still living, life is more than just problems. Take a step out your box, leave all fears behind and have new experiences, new emotions. Our life is worth living
Step out my friend😁♥️
@cheri618
I honestly hate how underrated this movie was. It was so damn good and soundtrack is unbelievable.
@deathburrito0924

@robertread6287
+cheri618 I saw this twice in the cinema and grabbed it on DVD the day it came out, would easily say this is my most seen movie.
@okamiman73
+cheri618 Probably my favorite movie of all time
@BurntAlpaca
It was a great movie, I don't understand why it was underrated
@lisanorooz
Yep, I agree. Such an awesome movie and very thought provoking. Loved the music, cinematography, and the message for everyone: take a step out and the journey pulls you in and on. You'll find the courage as you take the next step.
@AmazingTNT
honestly why did walter mitty get a 50% on rotten tomatoes? i personally think it's a masterpiece
@eyesinthesky4731
It wasn't really what they advertised it to be, lol.
@AmazingTNT
Last Noobn hows that
@steventan2754
+P1tri0t Ben Stiller's humor kinda ruined it for me. It's good, but could have been great.
