Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Step by Step" refers to the feeling of camaraderie and brotherhood among those living a straight edge lifestyle. The phrase "something is inside" is a reference to the inner strength and conviction that straight edge adherents possess. The lyrics go on to speak about how this strength is manifested in the straight edge community's refusal to engage in destructive or violent behavior. Instead, the community is characterized by brotherhood and a commitment to doing what is right.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "step by step" several times. This can be interpreted both literally, as a reference to the step-by-step approach that people take to living a straight edge lifestyle, and figuratively, as a metaphor for the incremental progress that can be made in building a community of like-minded individuals. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of unity and brotherhood, echoing the sentiments expressed in the first verse.


The second verse of the song encourages listeners to reject negative stereotypes and misconceptions about straight edge and to see each other as brothers. The song tells us that it's time to "stop the wrong thinking of each other" and to recognize that "something is inside" that brings us all together. The final lines of the verse remind us that the strength of the straight edge community comes not just from our words, but from our actions as well.


Overall, "Step by Step" is a call to respect, brotherhood, and unity among those living a straight edge lifestyle. The song celebrates the inner strength and conviction that drives this community to live a more positive, compassionate, and nonviolent life.

@@victoriawright1519 Good afternoon from France 🇫🇷 Victoria Wright,

So sorry for your brother, despite the distance, I can hear what you're writing here.
You're not alone.
When we are deep in the pain, and write on this space with this song, then Hope and strength are still inside your heart, despite what's happening to you.
Hope you won't let your Spirit fail.

Well, I have a question to ask to you, what does "pdss" mean, please..

Keep staying on the Life side,

Kathie

I’m the little girl in the blue jumper and black top (0:56) auntie Whitney was such an amazing person!! Making sure everyone was good. Every time she saw me she asked ‘baby you good?” What you need? When it was time to go she said come give your auntie Whitney some love and give me the best hug ever! I cried like a baby when I heard my auntie Whitney was gone and I still cry today. The world only got a glimpse of who she truly was. Her heart was pure gold. One month my mom couldn’t pay the rent due to issues and auntie Whitney paid it for her for the next 7 months. She will always be my auntie Whitney and I’ll love her forever 💜💜💜
