Primary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To undertake the physical event of being Living?
And how many years are we going to claim
For keeping our emotions well hidden?
Is this the prodcut of a fuller defense?
Ooh, you first with one foot facing West
You first, so I can follow bat by bat
With this step by step, follow with my heavy wood friend
And mother, watch the weather. Keep yourself from hiding again
With this step by step, follow with my heavy wood friend
And mother, watch the weather. Keep yourself from hiding again
How did you find out?
How did you come?
How could you be anything to anyone?
Ooh, you first with one foot facing West
You first, so I can follow bat by bat
With this step by step, follow with my heavy wood friend
And mother, watch the weather. Keep yourself from hiding again
With this step by step, follow with my heavy wood friend
And mother, watch the weather. Keep yourself from hiding again
OUTRO x4
Keep myself from falling into habit again
Cut myself off from this appetite
With this step by step
, Primary's "Step By Step" explores the journey of life and the challenges of emotional and societal constructs that come with it. The lyrics pose a set of intriguing questions about the human existence and the ways in which we navigate it. The opening lines, "From where do we start again, to undertake the physical event of being living?" evoke a sense of bewilderment and uncertainty about the beginnings of life and our subsequent experiences. It depicts the human experience as a physical event to undertake rather than a mere existence.
The second verse echoes this sentiment with lines like "And how many years are we going to claim for keeping our emotions well-hidden?" These lines raise important questions about the ways in which we are taught to navigate our emotions and the stigma that surrounds vulnerability. The last verse of the song takes a reflective turn and asks "How did you find out? How did you come? How could you be anything to anyone?" These lines appear to question our roles in society and the ways in which we come to realise our sense of self.

From where do we start again
Where should we begin in order to start living our lives?
To undertake the physical event of being Living?
How can we physically live our lives?
And how many years are we going to claim
How long are we going to keep hiding our true emotions?
For keeping our emotions well hidden?
Why are we hiding our true emotions?
Is this the product of a fuller defense?
Are we hiding our feelings because we are trying to protect ourselves?
Ooh, you first with one foot facing West
You go first, leading the way.
You first, so I can follow bat by bat
I will follow your lead step by step.
With this step by step, follow with my heavy wood friend
We will move together, taking it one step at a time.
And mother, watch the weather. Keep yourself from hiding again.
We need to be aware of the environment around us and not let it control our emotions.
How did you find out?
I am curious how you discovered this.
How did you come?
How did you come to understand this situation?
How could you be anything to anyone?
How do you think you can help anyone if you can't even be yourself around them?
OUTRO x4 Keep myself from falling into habit again Cut myself off from this appetite
We need to break our old patterns and unhealthy habits to move forward in our lives.
