Gold Steps
Neck Deep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been stuck in the middle pages
Send the boat across that I created
Built out of the bones that I've been breaking
The sign you said you needed
Is there but you can't see it
You mark me down and out but you're still breathing

If you write the story
You'll find out we're all stuck on the same page

'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
'Cause what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to make do

The walls are caving in again
Happens every now and then
Always got me feeling like I'm fucked (fuck)
Falling in and out of bed, sleep so hard
Feel like I'm dead
Trying to get a grip is kinda rough

Say life has lost its meaning
And that's true if you believe it
But someday you will stand above your demons
(You're not beneath this)

If you write the story
You'll find out we're all stuck on the same page

'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
'Cause what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to me too

So pick yourself up
You can't change what's been
You must go (go) on (on)
And learn while you live
And when you see the signs saying hope is up ahead
Then you write a draft for a better end

'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
'Cause what you give is what you get




Yeah, life's not out to get you (get you)
Yeah, life's not out to get you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Neck Deep's song Gold Steps seem to be a message of encouragement and hope to those who may be going through a tough time. The singer here is suggesting that everyone faces difficult moments in life where they feel like they are stuck in one place, barely able to move forward. However, it's important to keep on going and not give up, despite feeling like life has lost its meaning.


The first stanza talks about the struggle of creating and surviving in a world where it seems impossible to make progress. The boat symbolizes the efforts that are being made to move forward, while the bones that have been broken represent the pain, struggle and sacrifice that goes along with it. The second stanza entails a more positive message of encouragement that is accessible to everyone: one can defeat obstacles, regardless of their origin, and come out the other side, fine. The message to pick oneself up and to take charge of the situation is reiterated in the final stanza.


Overall, the message of the song seems to be that, despite struggles, it's important to remember that things will eventually get better. No matter how hard life may be, one can move forward by looking ahead, and learning from each new experience that arises.

[Verse 1:]
I've been stuck in the middle pages
Hung up on a cross that I created
Built out of the bones that I've been breaking
The sign you said you needed
Is there but you can't see it
You might be down and out but you're still breathing

[Pre-Chorus:]
If you write the story
You'll find out we're all stuck on the same page

[Chorus:]
Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Cause what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to make do

[Verse 2:]
The walls are caving in again
Happens every now and then
Always got me feeling like I'm fucked (fuck)
Falling in and out of bed sleep so hard
Feel like I'm dead
Trying to get a grip is kinda rough
Say life has lost its meaning
And that's true if you believe it
But someday you will stand above your demons
(You're not beneath this)

[Pre-Chorus:]
If you write the story
You'll find out we're all stuck on the same page

[Chorus:]
Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Cause what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to make do

[Bridge:]
So pick yourself up
You can't change what's been
You must go on
And learn while you live
And when you see the signs saying hope is up ahead
Then you're right on track for a better end

[Chorus:]
Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
Cause I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Cause what you give is what you get
Yeah, life's not out to get you
Yeah, life's not out to get you

Here are the lyrics to this wicked song!

I've been stuck in the middle pages
Hung up on a cross that I created
Built out of the bones that I've been breaking
The sign you said you needed
Is there, but you can't see it
You might be down and out, but you're still breathing
If you write the story
Then you'll find out
We're all stuck on the same page
'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains
That I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Because what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to make do
The walls are caving in again
Happens every now and then
Always got me feeling like I'm fucked (fuck)
Falling in and out of bed
Sleep so I feel like I'm dead
Trying to get a grip is kinda rough
You say life has lost its meaning
And that's true if you believe it
But someday you will stand above your demons (you're not beneath this)
If you write the story
Then you'll find out
We're all stuck on the same page
'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains
That I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Because what you give is what you get
And it doesn't make sense to make do
So pick yourself up
You can't change what's been
You must go (go) on (on)
And learn while you live
And when you see the signs saying hope is up ahead
Then you're right on track for a better end
'Cause sometimes things will bend you
But trust me you'll be fine
'Cause I've been moving mountains
That I once had to climb
And life's not out to get you
Despite the things you've been through
Because what you give is what you get
Yeah, life's not out to get you (get you)
Yeah, life's not out to get you
