Every Failed Step
Royal Blood Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Empty by my side
My head is full of thorns
Empty in my heart

As I beat my fists against the scars on your hands
I am too blind to see where I lay

The whole time I fell from my own two feet

I fell right back into your way

Empty by my side
My head is full of thorns
Empty in my heart

As I beat my fists against the scars on your hands
I am too blind to see where I lay

The only reason you weren't in front of me
Is because you had my back
Catching me with every failed step
With every failed step

In everything I ever went through
Was everything you ever gave
And everything I ever went though
Was every step you walked me through

I know where you are

I know where you are
Where you are.

Overall Meaning

The Royal Blood's song Every Failed Step is a heartfelt ballad that explores the idea of growing and learning through failures with the help of a loved one. The opening lines "Empty by my side, my head is full of thorns, empty in my heart" set the tone for a feeling of loneliness, confusion, and pain. However, the song's thematic core lies in the idea of relying on someone who has always been there for you, especially through tough times, and who has caught you every time you have failed or fallen.

The lyrics of the song, "As I beat my fists against the scars on your hands, I am too blind to see where I lay. The whole time I fell from my own two feet, I fell right back into your way," suggest that although the singer was trying to find their own path, they kept falling and failing, but that does not necessarily mean they have failed, because they were always caught by someone who had their back. The lyrics also suggest that the singer might have hurt the person who was always there for them, and they feel guilty about it and wish they could see the errors of their ways. This confessional tone of the song continues in the second verse, where the singer acknowledges the unconditional love and support they have been given.

In the end, the song ends on an optimistic note, with the singer acknowledging where they came from and how someone has helped them through it. The last lines, "I know where you are, I know where you are, where you are." are repeated multiple times, suggesting that the singer has found peace, and they know where to look for support when they need it.

Empty by my side
I feel alone

My head is full of thorns
I am struggling with painful thoughts

Empty in my heart
I feel hollow and unloved

As I beat my fists against the scars on your hands
I am angry at you for hurting me

I am too blind to see where I lay
I am lost and don't know where I belong

The whole time I fell from my own two feet
I made mistakes and stumbled

I fell right back into your way
I returned to you for help

The only reason you weren't in front of me
You were supporting me from behind

Is because you had my back
You were always there for me

Catching me with every failed step
You helped me recover from my mistakes

In everything I ever went through
You were there with me
