Step by Step
Rebuilding from Within: A Journey of Self-Love in 'Step by Step'
Lyrics
Step by step
Expressing a gradual progression or approach.
You can bet
Confidently stating a belief or assurance.
I'm gonna be with you
Commitment to being with someone.
Step by step
Repetition of the idea of gradual progress.
My friend
Addressing the person as a close companion.
There's nothing I can do
Acknowledging helplessness in certain situations.
Side by side
Being close and supportive.
We're gonna finally get you on the mend
Aiming for improvement and recovery.
Until you love yourself again
Encouraging self-love and healing.
I always thought of you just like a brother
Establishing a familial or friendly connection.
When we we're young we'd try to outdo the other
Recalling competitive and bonding experiences.
Motorcycles and girls
Referencing past shared interests and experiences.
We were the kings of our little world
Highlighting a period of dominance and camaraderie.
But now you're falling apart
Expressing concern for the person's deterioration.
Step by step
Reiteration of the need for gradual progress.
We can't let
Emphasizing the urgency to prevent decline.
You just waste away
Stressing the importance of not wasting time.
Step by step
Repetition of the commitment to improvement.
We're gonna get a little better everyday
Commitment to daily enhancement.
By day
Underlining the persistence of support.
You're gonna hear my praise 'til you comprehend
Promising continued praise until understanding is reached.
Until you love yourself again
Reiterating the importance of self-love.
Remember all those nights when I rushed right over
Reflecting on past instances of immediate assistance.
You thought you'd crossed that line
Reference to a boundary crossed and successful intervention.
But I got you sober
Achieving sobriety through tough love.
Tough love to tears
Describing a caring but firm approach.
Too many drugs
Pointing out the negative impact of drugs.
Too many years
Highlighting the passage of time and its toll.
Man you're breaking my heart
Expressing emotional distress over a friend's struggle.
Step by step
Repeating the theme of gradual support.
You can bet
Reaffirming commitment and assurance.
I'm gonna be with you
Emphasizing continued presence and support.
Step by step
Stating a singular course of action.
My friend
Acknowledging limited options.
There's just one thing to do
Emphasizing unity and mutual action.
Side by side
Reiterating the goal of recovery together.
We're gonna finally get you on the mend
Affirming the commitment to healing.
Until you love yourself again
Reinforcing the need for self-love.
Step by step
Repeating the theme of gradual progress.
Don't want to hear your lip
Rejecting negativity or resistance.
I'm gonna be with you
Reaffirming the commitment despite objections.
Step by step
Restating limited options for the friend.
My friend
Acknowledging constraints on assistance.
There's very little that you can do
Expressing solidarity and standing together.
Side by side
Affirming physical presence and support.
I stand with you
Stressing a recommendation for self-love.
And I strongly recommend
Urging the friend to embrace self-love.
You learn to love yourself again
Repeating the importance of self-love.
You better learn to love yourself again
Issuing a strong directive to prioritize self-love.
