"We are so steeped in blood that going back were as tedious as going forth..." I am mangling the quote a bit, but Macbeth says it referring to the fact that he has committed so many blood crimes that committing more is inevitable, that they can't go back and undo their violence.
The real quotation is:
"I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er"
The mangled paraphrase is actually not too bad.
