The band went into the studio with producer, Machine (Pitchshifter, White Zombie, Coal Chamber) to pull together their first full length recording for ROADRUNNER Records in mid 1999. The result - the band's debut effort, LET'S GET IT ON, features the anthemic stomp "Vibe", the hard-rocking "Imbalance", the jump-out-of-your-seat jam "Get It" and the infectious, funky-grooved "Right Is Wrong" among its twelve powerful tracks.
Move On
The Step Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn’t even focus right
You did so much for me I never could return
Your dedication makes me burn
Walk – make it easy for me
Hide – so I don’t have to see
Whatever I have done to make you bleed
I’m wrong for you
So, how can I move on
I’m wrong for you so…
Move on…
Every song I hear sounds like it’s meant for us
Seems like someone’s looking out
But overnight everything’s changed and so have I
I don’t want to say goodbye
The lyrics to The Step Kings's song Move On describe the singer's internal battle as he struggles to come to terms with the end of a relationship he knows is not right for him. He acknowledges that the other person in the relationship has shown him an incredible dedication, sticking by him even when he was at his worst. The singer, however, recognizes that despite this, he cannot reciprocate these feelings and that he is ultimately wrong for this person. This realization has left him feeling conflicted, regretful, and uncertain about how to move on.
As the lyrics progress, the singer starts to distance himself from the relationship. He wishes to make the separation process easier and less painful by walking away and hiding from the harsh reality of the situation. He acknowledges that he has hurt the other person, despite their loyalty and love, and that he needs to accept the consequences of his actions. However, he still longs to hold on to what he once had, as every song he hears reminds him of their time together.
This emotional turmoil depicted in the song is something that many can relate to. Coming to the realization that you are not right for someone can be a painful and challenging process, and the song brings an insight into the internal dialogue that accompanies it.
