Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't understand just what you need,
I'm trying to hold on but it's harder still to wait,
I'm sorry you feel the way you do,
Don't pull me in, don't pull me in,
Oh well I hope I'm not a burden on you,
I won't give in so don't pull me in
Why is it so difficult to do,
I desperately want to hold on to you,
Oh your stubborn in your ways,
Am I stubborn still in mine,
And will you ever change?
Or am I wasting my time?
I'm sorry you feel the way you do,
Don't pull me in, don't pull me in,
Oh well I hope I'm not a burden on you,
I won't give in so don't pull me in
And why won't the words come out?
I have so much to say,
Oh it's useless when you shout,
Because it's pushing me away
Oh yeah, it's pushing me, it's pushing me away
I'm sorry you feel the way you do,
Don't pull me in, don't pull me in,
Oh well I hope I'm not a burden on you,
I won't give in so don't pull me in
The lyrics to Christine Evans's "Push" seem to be about a relationship that's struggling due to communication issues. The singer can hear their partner's anger and frustration loud and clear, but they don't understand exactly what the other person needs from them. Despite this, the singer is still trying to hold on to the relationship, but waiting is becoming increasingly difficult.
The singer seems to feel a sense of regret and apologizes for the way their partner is feeling. However, they don't want to be pulled into the other person's negativity and become a burden on them. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of holding on to their partner when they're both so stubborn, and questions whether the other person will ever change.
The chorus repeats the message of not wanting to be pulled into the other person's negativity, and the frustration of feeling ineffective when trying to communicate. The final line of the song, "It's pushing me away," really emphasizes the way that communication issues can drive people apart in a relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "Push" are relatable for anyone who's struggled to connect and communicate with a partner. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of push and pull, and the conflicting desires of wanting to hold on while feeling like there's nothing you can do to make things better.
