Stepping Stone
Lemâitre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Release foreign devotion
All the starters are gonna lit a start
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
(Desperation's gonna)
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Life can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive, the base don't just disguise
With the colored future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone (in desperation)
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
(Desperation's gonna, take me all the way)
Life can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive, the base don't just disguise
With the colored future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up, and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone (in desperation)
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
In desperation, in desperation
In desperation, in desperation
The song "Stepping Stone" by Lemaitre and Mark Johns talks about the struggle of finding one's way in life and the realization that not everything that seems promising actually holds value. The lyrics suggest that life can be challenging and unpredictable, with obstacles and surprises that can be both seductive and deceptive. The singer acknowledges that they have stumbled on their path (tripped on my stepping stone) but they have persisted, despite being alone and in desperation.
The chorus "Desperation's gonna take me all the way" suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to find their way home, even if it means going through difficult and trying times. The lyrics also mention the allure of a "colored future" and how it may seem attractive, but the singer knows that not everything that glitters is gold. The repetition of the final lines of the song, "In desperation", emphasizes the importance of persevering even in difficult times.

Lyrics
Grief for the ambition
The leaps for heaven fall short
All these scars are worth what they extort
Desperation's gonna, take me all the way
Desperation's gonna
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
In desperation
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Pride can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive but based on just disguise
We speak of the future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
In desperation
Wake up another day
I need to find my way home
Just me, travelling alone
Pride can come up creeping
It takes me by surprise
Seductive but based on just disguise
We speak of the future
And all that it might hold
But I'm sure you might have heard
All that glitters ain't gold
Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
Wake up another day

Tripped on my stepping stone
Got up and kept on going
Just me, travelling alone
In desperation
Wake up another day

Just me, travelling alone
In desperation, in desperation
In desperation, in desperation
