Push
A‐Trak feat. Andrew Wyatt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let down, a light that flickers off in the basement
Let down, tonight i feel my courage breaking
I made a mess
Of easy stuff
I care too much
Don't care enough

I wrestle with my attitude
You're mad at me
I'm tired of you
And it's a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away
Yeah it's a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away

(Baby, be with you)

Let down, i feel your disconnect emotion
Let down, you stand there cold
And proud like I'm not your man
And i feel trapped
And gave my word
Not to hang out
With other girls
I made you feel
Like I'm all yours
But i can't stop
Myself on tours

It's such a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away
Yeah it's a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away
(Baby, be with you)

It's such a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away




Yeah it's a horrible thing to push, push, push, push love away
(Baby, be with you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A-Trak feat. Andrew Wyatt's "Push" express the turmoil and confusion that can arise in a romantic relationship when emotions and expectations aren't aligned. The singer is feeling let down and discouraged by his own mistakes and poor communication, a light flickering off in the basement representing the fading of hope. He confesses to making a mess of easy things because he cares too much and not enough all at once, wrestling with his attitude and exhausting his partner who is mad with him as well. In turn, he is tired of her coldness and disconnect and stands trapped by his own word not to hang out with other girls. Despite trying to make her feel like he's all hers, he can't help himself while on tour and pushes love away, aware that it's a horrible thing to do.


The song conveys a feeling of unease and tension throughout, with the slow and melancholic beat matching the emotional depth of the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "push, push, push, push love away" serves to emphasize the gravity of the situation and the singer's realization of his own actions. The chorus provides a small source of hope with the plea "baby, be with you," but the ambiguity of the line leaves open whether it's too late to repair the damage done.
