Marianas Trench: Push Meaning
-
This song really shows how hard it is to get out of an addiction. And how it can take over your life and change who you are.
-
"You never really wanted it
You'll settle for a bit of it..."
(Josh never really wanted to try heroine, but his friends were, and so he decided to try it.)
"We started with a big bang
And now it's coming back again..."
(The first time he tried it, he was hooked. Now he has an addiction to it.)
" Hey, don't you feel it now?
My shiny side down..."
(He can feel it is doing something to him, and he doesn't feel to great anymore.)
"Hey, burning brighter still
And you're getting sick
And you're feeling it..."
(He is smoking it, which makes him sick. He is feeling bad."
"It'll wear you down and wear you down
You chase it, breathing in and out and in and out..."
(The drugs are wearing him down, but he needs more, and is in constant pursuit of his next fix.)
"They'll push you up against the wall, against the wall
You didn't think you'd feel it all but you were wrong about it
Push..."
(It's nit a joke anymore. He didn't think he could get addicted, but look where it got him.)
" It started with a handgun
Loaded with excuses
I started faking it..."
(He had tones of excuses for if he got caught, and he had to fake it so it didn't seem like anything was suspicious."
"And then we started breaking it
All the pieces used to fit..."
(He is starting to break down because of all it. He made a mess of his life.)
"Using like it's going out of style
Maybe just a little while
And This will be the last time
Every time's the last time..."
(Josh has become dependant on it, and keeps using. He tells himself he can quit at any time, but he can't. He may have tried to quit, but he hasn't been successful.)
"Hey, don't you feel it now?
My shiny side down
Hey, burning brighter still
And you're getting stuck
And you fucked it up..."
(He is getting worse, and really messed up his life.)
"It'll wear you down and wear you down
You chase it, breathing in and out and in and out
They'll push you up against the wall, against the wall
You didn't think you'd feel it all but you were wrong about it..."
(It is defiantly taking a toll on Josh. He knows it was wrong to try it.)
"Push..."
(One more try to quit)
"I regretted it
I regret a lot of things
I regretted it
I regret a lot of things..."
(He regrets this choice, as well as other choices.)
"It'll wear you down and wear you down
(I regreted it)
You chase it, breathing in and out and in and out
(I regret a lot of things)
They'll push you up against the wall, against the wall
(I regreted it)
You didn't think you'd feel it all but you were wrong
(I regret a lot of things)
About it"
(Again, he knows it was wrong to try it, and now he can't stop.)
" (I regret a lot of things)
They'll push you up against the wall, against the wall
(I regretted it)
You didn't think you'd feel it all but you were wrong
(I regret a lot of things)..."
(He still can't get control of his life)
"And you're feeling it
It'll wear you down and wear you down
You chase it, breathing in and out and in and out
They'll push you up against the wall, against the wall
You didn't think you'd feel it all but you were wrong about it. Push"
(He needs help, and it won't be easy to get. He made one choice that messes up his life pretty bad.) -
The song push is about Josh's heroine addiction. This becomes apparent with lines like "using like it's going out of style" and "this'll be the last time(every time's the last time)"
