Wellu Rowaltz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please betray me, hopes unspoken
Let me crawl onto your cross and smile
Let me live anesthetized
But my dreams, they still consume me
Every scene, I seem to screen again
Not a night I dont feel overwhelmed
One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think Im doing fine?
One step a day
Just one step away
Like doing time
Making love to isolation
Made my peace with indignation
Not a lot that I can hope to be
I can hear the years count down in me
One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think Im doing fine?
One step a day
Just one step away
Like doing time
One step ahead for me
Is always two behind
What did I take
To think Im doing fine?
One step a day
Just one step away
Like doing time
The lyrics of Wellu Rowaltz's song "One Step" seem to be expressing a feeling of hopelessness and a sense that the singer is stuck in a rut. The opening lines of "hear me pray: my will be broken, please betray me, hopes unspoken" suggest that the singer is asking for their will to be broken because they are looking for something to shake them out of their current state of being. They want someone or something to betray their hopes, so they can move on and start anew. The lines "let me crawl onto your cross and smile, let me live anesthetized" seem to express a willingness to give up control and let someone else lead them, maybe even to the point of being numb to the world around them.
Although the singer seems to desire a change, they are still consumed with their dreams and find themselves constantly overwhelmed. The line "what I see is what they get, instead" indicates that the singer's struggle is a very personal one that they keep hidden from others. They are putting on a brave face, but inside their dreams and fears are consuming them. The line "making love to isolation, made my peace with indignation" could be interpreted to mean that the singer has become comfortable in their current state of being, despite the fact that it is causing them pain. The final line "I can hear the years count down in me" suggests a growing sense of urgency and regret over lost time.
The repeated refrain of "one step ahead for me is always two behind" reinforces the sense of being trapped in a cycle, never able to quite catch up to where they want to be. The lines "what did I take to think I'm doing fine?" and "one step a day, just one step away like doing time" suggest that the singer is questioning their past decisions and realizes that they are not where they want to be in life. They feel trapped, as if they are doing time, and just taking one step a day isn't enough to break out of their current situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "One Step" convey a deep sense of longing for change and a desire to break free from a cycle of pain and regret.
