LINKIN PARK

- One Step Closer Lyrics

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say
You'll find that out anyway
(Just like before)

Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
(I'm about to break)

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
(Just like before)

Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
(I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)

Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
(I'm about to break)

Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
(And I'm about to break)

What is the meaning behind One Step Closer lyrics?


When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the song 'One Step Closer' by Linkin Park explores the emotions of fury and being overrun by a person's words or actions. The singer needs more air and declares he is about to lose it because of the unrelenting words, which he metaphorically describes as being 'one step closer to the edge'. The lyrics of the song mostly show feelings like angst, anger, despair, reflection, and solitude. Nevertheless, the song also depicts the corresponding themes of the importance of frustration and pressure, the need for escape, and the breakdown of communication.
