    Here's another question from my phone buddy and future makeup project, Chris 2/26/01

    How do you interpret the lyrics to the song "Push"?

Push

*

she said I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
and I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved
by a hand that’s touched me, well I feel like something’s gonna give
and I’m a little bit angry, well

this ain’t over, no not here, not while I still need you around
you don’t owe me, we might change
yeah we just might feel good

(chorus)
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted,
I wanna take you for granted I will

she said I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
and I don’t know why you couldn’t just stay with me
you couldn’t stand to be near me
when my face don’t seem to want to shine
cuz it’s a little bit dirty well

don’t just stand there, say nice things to me
I’ve been cheated I’ve been wronged,
and you you don’t know me, I can’t change
I won’t do anything at all

(chorus)

oh but don’t bowl me over
just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things
get so crazy, crazy
don’t rush this baby, don’t rush this baby

(chorus)

    Wow, this feels like an English paper. Anyway down to business. When I read the lyrics I believe it is sung by a man who maybe hasn't had a very good life or maybe just love life and in consequence is a bit messed up emotionally. He was involved with a woman who is fed up with his behavior and is leaving. She's sick of his lying and angriness. This guy is mixed between remorse and anger about her leaving. Part of the song he is pleading for her to stay with him. He wants and needs her help through this hard time of his life. He feels neglected and hurt. It's basically the ballad for those who are going through a hard time in their life plus a break up.
