Step Out Lyrics

Step outside
Time to step outside
House on fire leave it all behind you
Darkest night let the lightning guide you

Step outside
Time to step outside
House on fire leave it all behind you

Living blind
Feeding appetites
Stake through every heart stumped in the blue
Being blind, breathing every time

House on fire leave it all behind you
Darkest night let the lightning guide you

Broke tooth, Monday
Something's not the same
Blank head crossed eyes sweet to flood
Feel your presence in your absence, shut the door

House on fire leave it all behind you
Darkest night let the lightning guide you

Step outside
Time to step outside, time to step outside

House on fire leave it all behind you.

I think this song is about leaving the comfort zone, doing things you would have never done and make more out of your life.

"House on fire, leave it all behind you" -> I think it just says you have to leave the past (your old life) behind you and look forward.

"Living life, feeding appetites Stayed through every hard stop, every go Being bland Breathing half the time" -> It says that you're living a bland life, you're breathing half the time (not giving 100%).. it also says that there is more you can do.

"Broke tooth Monday Something's not the same Blank head, crossed eyes sweep the floor Feel your presence In your absence shut the door" -> Maybe this is about after you made the first step.. after that some things change, you see the world with different eyes.. just a guess.

My Interpretation

It's hard to know the real meaning because really the lyrics are pretty ambiguous for finding meaning. I think it is going away from comforts and "stepping out" into the real world or nature or something. With the "house on fire" and such lyrics, I'm thinking of the city under attack or a disaster or something, but that's just a guess.

My Interpretation

It is about letting go, everything that is not adding to your life. Can be feelings, people, situations, etc. To me it means leave the pain and any attachment behind and LIVE. Jose Gonzalez an overrated artist.
