First Step
Overdream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set your eyes far on the sky
Hold your breath, fold tight your hands
Let your dreams with us to fly
Blue Globe
My home
Now a faint memory
See again
Sunbeams play in the sea
One step ahead
Will move each man
One step away
A new era wakes
Send your hopes out in the night
Through the cold, the endless miles
Stars around watch as we float
Stay with us, lead our way home
The lyrics to the song "First Step" by Overdream express a sense of wonder and hope for the future. The opening lines encourage the listener to look up at the sky and dream big, suggesting that anything is possible. The chorus refers to the Earth as a "Blue Globe," which becomes a distant memory as the song progresses. This could be interpreted as a reflection of the human impact on the planet and the need for change.
The song then moves on to talk about taking steps forward, both metaphorically and literally. Each person can take one step ahead to create a better future, while one step away is all it takes to begin a new era. This section of the lyrics could be interpreted as an appeal for action towards a better future.
The final verse of the song speaks directly to the stars and asks for guidance on the journey ahead. It's an appeal to something greater than ourselves to help guide us home. This could be interpreted as a nod towards the spiritual or cosmic forces that may be at work in our lives. Overall, the lyrics to "First Step" are a celebration of hope, action, and the power of dreaming big.
