Step Aside
Rusty Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So long, my friend, you’ve crossed the line
One day I'll get out, and your peace will not last for too long


You don't know where I have been, you don't know what I've been through
No I’m not asking for help, I will do it on my own
Never underestimate, don’t underestimate me

Step aside
I'm getting out of here
I'll keep fighting 'til I get back what you took away
I'm gettin up again
We're one step closer to the end


Behind these bars, no more sun light
Noone believes, nothing but fear
I won't give up til the truth becomes clear


You don't know where I have been, you don't know what I've been through
No I’m not asking for help, I will do it on my own
Never underestimate, don’t underestimate me


Step aside
I'm getting out of here
I'll keep fighting 'til I get back what you took away
I'm gettin up again
Every step I take, brings me closer to the truth


You've destroyed my life, and I got the blame
You've destroyed my life, one day I'll see you fall


Step aside
I'm getting out of here
I'll keep fighting 'til I get back what you took away, what you have taken away
Step aside
I'm getting out of here




I'll keep fighting 'til I get back what you took away
What have you done to me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rusty Project's song Step Aside reflect themes of resilience, determination, and overcoming obstacles. The lyrics appear to be written from the perspective of someone who has been wronged or imprisoned unjustly, as evidenced by lines such as "behind these bars, no more sunlight," and "you've destroyed my life and I got the blame." However, instead of wallowing in self-pity or seeking help from others, the singer is determined to take matters into their own hands and fight back. The repeated refrain of "step aside" seems to be directed towards those who have held the singer back and doubted their abilities - this phrase conveys a sense of power and confidence, as if the singer is daring others to stand in their way. One interesting aspect of the lyrics is the ambiguity surrounding the reason for the singer's imprisonment or mistreatment - the listener is left to fill in the gaps and imagine their own backstory, which adds to the emotional impact of the song.


Overall, Step Aside is a song about resilience, defiance, and overcoming adversity. Through its powerful lyrics and confident delivery, the song inspires listeners to never give up in the face of adversity and to always believe in themselves.
