This great song and this album remind me of Dylans blood on the tracks. Like Dylan, Bruce here isn't writing about other characters, he's speaking about himself.
It seems at that time after marrying a glamorous model and living in Hollywood that he lost his roots, his way, becoming someone he really wasn't. Who hasn't been down that path. Of course in One step up he expresses what he's sadly come to realize, that his glamorous relationship aint working out. Like brilliant disguise,
probably not much depth or real love in their marriage. One of his best albums about his love life back then. On equal par with Dylans classic Blood on the tracks,

@michaelbax I also think one step up and two steps back reminds me kind of a dance, too. Great metaphor.
