Into Another
Step Lively Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Into Another" by Step Lively delve into the memories of a past relationship, with the singer reminiscing about the time when they first met. The reminiscence is painted as a picture-perfect moment, with the meeting of the two individuals symbolizing the storybook romance. The opening lyrics express the nostalgia and fondness that the singer holds towards the past, claiming that the memories will always paint a smile on their face.
As the song progresses, the singer's recollection of the past deepens, with the metaphors becoming stronger in the second verse. The swan in the lake and the bee in the hive are symbols of how the individual felt during the early stages of the relationship. The lyrics go on to express how the remembrance of the perfect moment can be visceral - a single spot of moonlight in the eye can trigger the singer's mind to drift back into the past, leading to a sense of separation from reality.
However, the singer acknowledges that even though they may be separated from the past, the memories of the perfect moment are their true heaven. The final line of the song ties it all together, referring to how the two individuals are no longer two - they will just fall into another. The lyrics, therefore, can be interpreted as the singer acknowledging and accepting that while the past cannot be relived, the memory of it is a comforting thought.
