One Step Ahead Lyrics

How can you be so certain that you're the one flirting with fire?
If each choir needs preaching and everyone's reaching
Into their

One step ahead
And first to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline

Feels like it's all closing in (mmm)
The lines we won't cross, we bend instead (mmm)
Never mind all the noise going through your head (mmm)
'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we say
So never mind all the noise going through your head

How can I be so certain that my first impressions are mine?
Each morning I wake up with circles around me that say
"I got mine, I give in, I give up, it's too much"
"Come on, let's give 'em hell", "No, "Why not love?" you say
"Be too hard and that's not enough"

One step ahead
And first to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in (mmm)
All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead (mmm)
Never mind all the noise going through your head (mmm)
'Cause every time we talk, we say the same things that we say
And every line we cross, we say the same things that we say
Every time we try, we play the same old games, it's all been said
Now, never mind all the noise going through your head

What is the Meaning of One Step Ahead?

Diving into the complexities of human interaction, this lyrical masterpiece explores how we often find ourselves in a constant race to outdo one another. The idea of being "one step ahead" and "first to the punchline" reflects our incessant need to prove ourselves, often at the expense of genuine connection. The song also touches on the mental chaos ("all the noise going through your head") that such competitive behavior can cause. Yet, it subtly urges us to reconsider our approach, hinting at the possibility of choosing love over competition - a reminder that sometimes stepping back can lead to greater understanding and harmony. In essence, it's an invitation to pause, reflect and rise above the clamor of societal expectations. #Reflection #InnerPeace #RiseAbove #ChooseLove
