Stepping Stone
Lemaitre (feat. Mark Johns) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Greet for the ambition
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
Just me, travelling alone (in desperation)

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

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
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
