Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No prizes call, the contest is my opium
Since you can never be sure
When they're keeping the score
You must always be ready to run
I tense myself Waiting for the starting gun
No time for fun Because
I break my body but that's alright
'cause it'll take my mind and all my might
To keep one step ahead of you
I think to myself living is a winning school
Winning on your feet, winning on the street
Winning as a golden rule
It's seems there's always a test
And I'm doing my best
But there still seems a long way to go
I try myself Trying everything I know
Pushing me so So
Don't want to know why
Don't want to know how or when or who
One step ahead
One more step ahead just to get me through
I try my best
Here comes another test
So wicked, no rest Because
Don't want to know why
Don't want to know how or when or who
One step ahead
One more step ahead just to get me through
Don't want to know why
Don't want to know how or when or who
One step ahead
One more step ahead just to get me through
In "One Step Beyond" by Nik Kershaw, the lyrics portray an individual who is constantly preparing themselves for upcoming challenges and tests in life. The individual is ready to run the race and has made it their mission to stay ahead of others. They work hard throughout the day and think about their next move at night, determined to break their body if it means winning. Winning is the golden rule, and the individual sees living as a "winning school." There is always a test, and they are doing their best to push themselves forward.
The lyrics are relatable to many who feel the need to constantly strive for success and stay ahead of the game. The individual is driven by the fear of not knowing when they will be scored, but is always ready to push forward. The repetition of "one step ahead" highlights the importance of staying ahead in life in order to succeed.

Hey you, don't watch that, watch this!
This is the heavy heavy monster sound!
The nuttiest sound around!
So if you've come in off the street
And you're beginning to feel the heat
Well, listen buster
You better start to move your feet
To the rockinest, rock-steady beat
Of madness
One step beyond!!!
