Song Meaning of “Avoid Me By Walking Two Steps Backwards” by Enjoy
This song talks about someone exhausted from trying to earn love and attention, but only receiving neglect. They are so desperate for some understanding and affection, they feel like they are actually begging for it. The narrator is pushing this person away, telling them to take two steps back and avoid them.
This could be the narrator feeling like they need time to themselves to clear their mind. Maybe this person is a lover, friend or family member and the narrator has realized they need a break from them. It could also be that the narrator sees themselves as a bad influence or toxic presence in this person’s life and is trying to distance themselves from this person for their own good.
The lyrics show a sense of urgency in their tone, displaying the conflicted feelings and emotions they have. They want to be loved and accepted, but they know this won’t work out if they stay in the relationship, even if they both still care and are attached. The narrator knows that by them taking two steps back, they could potentially be saving this person’s heart.
