Take A Step
Milo Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a garden's leaf
Is this the sigh
Of sweet relief
Don't dim the lights
No early gray
I'm all too soon
forget this place
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Upon the door
Is an open latch
Our hearts will shake
But hands relax
The way you know it lights
The garden's leaf
It will take this sense
Of sweet relief
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash, your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Soft has never felt so hard
Your face in front of me
Still I see we're getting closer to what is unseen
So let down your guard
I'll knock down my guard
If I let down my guard
Then I
Then I
Then I
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Take a step
A step
A step into the sea
Oh
Wash your love
Your love
Your love all over me
Wash your love
Your love
Your love all over me
In the opening lines of the song, the initial image presented to the listener is that of a single garden leaf sitting atop a throne. The line “is this the sigh of sweet relief” suggests that the singer may be experiencing some sort of relief or comfort after a long period of tension or even boredom. In the second verse, the singer urges someone, possibly a lover, not to “dim the lights” or give in to melancholy or depression. Instead, the singer encourages them to be present in the moment, as they may soon forget the place or the experience they are currently in.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase “take a step into the sea, wash your love all over me”. This line can be interpreted in a number of different ways, but at its core, it seems to suggest that taking a risk can be a way to open oneself up to new possibilities and experiences. The water metaphor used in the chorus can be understood to represent a sense of emotional cleansing or renewal. In this way, the song appears to be about seeking out new experiences and taking risks in order to shake up one’s routine.
The final verse of the song appears to be a confrontation of sorts. The singer tells the object of their affection to let down their guard, and promises to do the same. The lines “Soft has never felt so hard” and “still I see we’re getting closer to what is unseen” suggest that the experience of revealing oneself to another person can be very difficult, but ultimately rewarding. The final repetition of the chorus suggests that the risk of taking a step into the unknown is well worth it.

Upon the throne
From a high place of power and control
Is a garden's leaf
Amidst some beauty and paradise
Is this the sigh
Does this signify
Of sweet relief
The blissful and comforting release
Don't dim the lights
Do not lessen the brightness
No early gray
No gloominess or dullness
I'm all too soon
I am already starting to
forget this place
Move on from this situation or location
Take a step
Make a move toward something new and different
A step
A change or forward progress
A step into the sea
A plunge into the unknown
Wash, your love
Cleanse or purify with affection
Your love
The emotions and feelings of intimacy
Your love all over me
Let it permeate and fill every aspect of one's being
Upon the door
From a point of entry or opportunity
Is an open latch
An unhindered way or possibility
Our hearts will shake
Our emotions and feelings will be affected
But hands relax
However, we learn to unwind and let go
The way you know it lights
The path that is familiar or comforting
The garden's leaf
The small things that bring joy or hope
It will take this sense
It will require this feeling or intuition
Of sweet relief
Of the soothing and calming reprieve
Soft has never felt so hard
The tender and gentle is now difficult and challenging
Your face in front of me
Your presence and image is here with me
Still I see we're getting closer to what is unseen
Although we cannot perceive it, we are moving toward something important
So let down your guard
Drop the defenses or resistance
I'll knock down my guard
I'll do the same and open up
Then I
In that moment
Take a step
Move forward and progress
A step
A decisive and bold action
Oh
An exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm
Wash your love
Cleanse and purify with affection
Your love
The powerful emotions and feelings of closeness
Your love all over me
Let it completely fill and surround me
