Salah satu hal menarik dari lagu ini adalah ambiguitas perspektif yang ditawarkan liriknya. Di satu sisi, penyanyi seolah berbicara kepada satu orang tertentu—dengan kata ganti tunggal seperti you atau sampeyan. Nuansa ini membuat lagu terasa intim, personal, dan dekat dengan tradisi lagu patah hati yang biasanya diarahkan pada sosok spesifik.

Namun, di sisi lain, terutama dalam versi terjemahan Indonesia dan Jawa, muncul kata ganti jamak seperti kalian, shbt2, atau kanca-kanca. Hal ini menggeser fokus dari hubungan personal ke hubungan sosial, seolah-olah penyanyi sedang menuturkan kisah kehilangan kepada sekelompok teman.

Namun, di sisi lain, terutama dalam versi terjemahan Indonesia dan Jawa, muncul kata ganti jamak seperti kalian, shbt2, atau kanca-kanca. Hal ini menggeser fokus dari hubungan personal ke hubungan sosial, seolah-olah penyanyi sedang menuturkan kisah kehilangan kepada sekelompok teman. Dengan begitu, lagu bisa dibaca sebagai refleksi atas keretakan lingkaran pertemanan, bukan hanya kehilangan satu individu.
Ambiguitas ini justru memperkaya makna:
>
Pendengar yang membayangkan satu sosok spesial akan menangkap rasa kehilangan personal.
i>
Pendengar yang membayangkan sekelompok teman akan merasakan keretakan sosial dan nostalgia kebersamaan.

Dengan kata lain, "cycling remains" bekerja di dua lapisan sekaligus: cerita ke satu orang dan cerita ke banyak orang, tergantung bagaimana pendengar mempersepsikannya. Inilah yang membuat lagu ini terasa fleksibel, universal, sekaligus intim.
I used to think this song was about losing a baby

In the vocals-only version artwork, the bicycle disappears, leaving only its shadow. This visual reflects the acapella version’s stripped-down nature—where physical presence is removed, but emotional memory remains, echoing the song’s themes of loss, residue, and unresolved attachment.

So as to the meaning of the song, username tcthomas4 has it exactly correct , The Five steps refers to the Five stages of Grief. The only thing I would add to Thomas’s description is the last line about Get back, the trains a coming down the track - refers to the train as the needle and the track obviously as the mark it leaves after getting high.

Ok, in regards to this song, Five steps by the Davenports, specifically Scott Klass, lead singer, The official lyrics are absolutely “You know me Ellen enough to know”… This is not opinion, it is fact. Scott also has three other songs where he uses different variations of the name Ellen, such as Elle and Elena. That being said , cover bands as well as the actual bands themselves, will often change some of their lyrics based on a number of different things, such as location of venue to something as simple as the mood they’re in. Which is most certainly...

That being said , cover bands as well as the actual bands themselves, will often change some of their lyrics based on a number of different things, such as location of venue to something as simple as the mood they’re in. Which is most certainly the cause of some of the confusion about the lyrics. My ex girlfriend and now good friend is a musician and also appeared on the show Intervention , her name is Kaeleen Brave , and just for a quick plug, she has a new book out available on Amazon called “The Abyss and a Mustard Seed” check it out. She’s told me a number of times that Scott is speaking of a former relationship with a girl named Ellen. It’s even been speculated that Elena is the name of his Mom, not positive about that one , but just throwing it out there . But yes, Ellen is the official lyric to the song with some occasional variations made by both covers and the actual bands themselves.
The cottages were called the Beach cottages, not Beech cottages. Giles Sumner Beach was my grandfather and the cottages proprietor.

I think Tori specifically said "cocaine" because its an addictive and dangerous drug. When someone gets hooked on cocaine, they fall into an addiction and slowly, it becomes the only thing that they focus on, and they forget about everything else.
