Stepson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was scared I wasn't good enough for you
So I ran as far as a I could
But I couldn't run far enough
I hope you find someone
Who makes you as happy as you made me
But I know that won't happen for me
It won't happen for me
It hasn't always been easy
It hasn't always been okay
But we've been through everything
And my hearts stayed the same
I broke your heart
You broke mine back
I want to take it all back
I've done all I can
I can't lose you again
I don't know what to do
It's always been you
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me

They hope that their ex-partner finds happiness with someone else, but the singer knows that such happiness won't happen for themself. The singer reflects on the difficult times they have both been through, symbolized by the idea that they have broken each other's hearts.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's desire to get back together with their ex-partner, but they are afraid that they might lose them once again. The repeated plea for their ex-partner to wait for them underscores the sense of vulnerability and need for validation that the singer is expressing. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of romantic relationships, particularly the delicate balance between love and self-worth.

Man, it seems that Australia just has the best melodic hardcore scene around right now, 2nd being the UK. North America needs to step up their game.

True canada has a decent scene but not near UK or Australia. Plus a lot of Canadian bands thrive on American shows and audiences, it's the same vice versa.

Australia Rep!
Hugh Mungus
+Timothy Chadd same with their deathcore scene.
lil Bit
shane hubbard NA has a decent enough deathcore scene.
