First Steps Of Romance
Josh and Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A stranglehold from ear to ear, all year
Every day feels the same, they're just allocated separate names
Monotony fills my veins
The first step is the last step, I took one step out the door
And I don't even know what for
Living every day, the exact same way, is leaving my cortex frayed
Why am I so afraid, of making myself displayed, a worker drone on parade?
And I don't even know what for
I've been kept under lock and key, but I will find my liberty
Open the gate to be freer, even if I die it's better than being here
I've been given this opportunity, but the sadness still consumes me
Ever since I was labelled diseased
They've ripped apart all my pride and left me with nowhere to hide
But with this key I'll unlock, the outside
The lyrics to "First Steps Of A Romance" by Josh and Steve convey a sense of entrapment and longing for freedom. The singer is overwhelmed by fear and monotony in their life, feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle. They question their own hesitation and fear of stepping out of their comfort zone, expressing a deep desire to break free from their current circumstances.
The repetition of the line "The first step is the last step" emphasizes the uncertainty and fear associated with taking that initial leap towards change. The singer feels trapped and restricted, but they acknowledge the need to find their own liberation. Despite the sadness that consumes them and the challenges they face, they are determined to take control of their life and find a way to escape.
The key mentioned in the last lines represents a symbol of hope and possibility. It represents the power to unlock the gate to freedom and expose oneself to the outside world. The song ultimately explores themes of courage, self-discovery, and the desire to break free from the monotony and constraints of everyday life.
