Step into the Light Lyrics

I have turned away from you,
And I am Godless.
A wasteland of poison;
A hidden fortress.

I have blackened out the stars,
And hidden frequencies.
I have silenced all the waves,
And forbidden secrecies.

(Chorus)
Just step into your light.
This dog doesn’t bite, no.
I just want to be your friend,
You know, I’ve never been in love before.
I’ve never been in love before.

Ohh ohh ohh

There is nothing of you, now,
No ghost, no, not a trace.
No flower, not a seed nor perfume, in your place.
I have searched amidst a barren plain of emptiness.

And I am worthless.
It is futile.
You’re invisible.
I am infantile.

(Chorus)
Step into the light, oh.
This dog doesn’t bite, yo.
Just wanna be your friend,
You know, I’ve never been in love before.
I’ve never been in love before.

Ohh oh ohh

I have murdered the divine in me;
Set the Godness free,
I have squandered it all.
Like less than the sum,
I am parts of a whole;
There is something missing,
There is something I stole
(There is something I stole)

Why have you forsaken me?
Where do you hide?
I feel the betrayal
Simmers, it blisters,
It digs down and burrows,
Deeper inside,
The more that I try,
I cannot deny it.

It feels like
It feels like
(I’ve never been)
It feels like
(I’ve never been in love before)
I’ve never been in love before.

It feels like
(I’ve never been in love before)
It feels like
(I’ve never been in love before)
It feels like
(Love)

(Chorus)
Step into the light, oh.
This dog doesn’t bite, no.
Just wanna be your friend,
You know that I’ve never been in love before,
(Love before)

Just a step into the light, oh.
You know that this dog doesn’t bite, no.
Take hold of my hand
You know that I’ve never been in love before,
Oohhhhhh

This is a shimmering ballad that I could listen to for hours on end. It captivates me! I think it's about not wanting to take the leap into love; feeling that you are worthless, and yet there is still hope.

I cannot believe that this song only has one comment. Signed up to this site just to say this song has replaced Truly Madly Deeply as my favourite song of all time. Amazingly I have been playing non-stop since the launch of the album, and havn't grown tired of it.

Gorgeous song, I look into it someone who is scared to touch love, possibly with a good friend, takes the leap and gets bitten. The lines...Why have you forsaken me... and so on are scary how close they hit to home. Once again I feel like it's Darren writing a song about my life, which is why I love his music

To me this song means a rebirth in love. Going through such torture and pain with past love. Then all of a sudden you find someone who engulfs your life. You lost the meaning of love but now you two have found it again. So the chorus is explaining don't worry about getting hurt anymore we have discovered what love is. You trust each other with everything you believe in and you haven't reached the euphoria of love but you guys are travelling together to find it again

Cover art for Step into the Light lyrics by Darren Hayes

This reminds me much of a feeling of rebirth and reconciling your past, self-hated persona with a new one who can love and try to accept it. It sounds like it may reflect Darren's own feelings of guilt on finding his own homosexual self and coming to terms with the fact that he wants to feel worthwhile as himself. This is about someone trying very hard to be friends or lovers with someone new, not quite trusting yourself or others, and not quite rid of the negative programming of the past.
