One Step Behind
Neev Kennedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am not myself
Lost the will to try
My imperfections
Took the need
And left me dry
I wish I knew whatโ€ฒs right
Some darkness is pitch black
No hope to hold on to
Can't take it back

Thereโ€ฒs no half light
In the shadows

I am always
One step behind




One day too late
To know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neev Kennedy's song "One Step Behind" convey a feeling of despondency and despair. The singer expresses that she is not herself and has lost the will to try. Her imperfections have left her feeling empty, and she wishes she knew what is right. She feels stuck in darkness that is pitch black and has no hope to hold onto. The feeling of hopelessness is so overpowering that she can't take it back.


The lyrics of the chorus bring up a very relatable feeling - that of always being one step behind - whether it is in everyday life or in a personal relationship. The singer laments that she is always one step behind, one day too late, to know what is happening. The shadows don't provide any clarity for her, and there is no half-light to give her any hope.


Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of the feeling of helplessness that sometimes overcomes us. The lyrics cut to the core and are enhanced by the beautiful melody and Kennedy's delicate delivery. It is a beautiful and haunting song that will resonate with many listeners.
