As you tripped at every step You tripped at every step you tripped at every step Oh how you tripped at every step Original tune is in D-Major! Seite 3 von 3 Seite 1 von 3

Cette chanson évoque la fragilité des relations humaines et la lutte intérieure qui accompagne souvent l’amour. L’artiste décrit une personne qui semble trébucher à chaque pas, indiquant des erreurs et des hésitations qui rendent la vie difficile et complexe. Il y a une image d'échec et de désespoir, où la lutte contre ses propres démons devient palpable. Le contexte est celui d'une interaction délicate, où l'un tente de soutenir l'autre face à ses problèmes. Les métaphores utilisées illustrent bien la douleur d'une certaine dépendance et dureté de la réalité, accentuant les défis relationnels. Il s'agit d'une réflexion sur les conséquences de la désillusion et de l'auto-sabotage, tout en gardant l'espoir d'un soutien réciproque.
