Push
Fog Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, I wish it was little bit later
Think I'd rather be asleep right now
Dream about some mistake I made
Tell me why I'm living so fast
I wish i was just a little bit younger
Then i wouldn't be afraid like this
Push it in just a little bit further
Waking up in another direction
If circumstance is all we get
Let's come back the way we came
I know it's a chemical thing
That's why I spend each day
Just trying to get my head on straight
Think i'll try just a little bit harder
Some people they waste their time
While others just play to stay
I don't wanna do either of those things
I just wanna make it stop
And when I do I'll hold it in
Everything I wanted to say
So when my eyes roll right back
I won't remember anything
Well tell me why it never made sense
I guess I figured out sooner than later
That love's just another kind of bliss
Someday you'll come to miss
Take a ride in the getaway car
Some call it another chance
But then they never wake up from it
They take it just a little bit further
The lyrics of Fog Lake's "Push" depict the singer's struggle with feeling alone and overwhelmed by the fast pace of life. The first verse sets the melancholic and contemplative mood for the song, with the singer wishing they were asleep or could go back in time to when they weren't afraid. The chorus, "Push it in just a little bit further, You were right this never gets old," suggests that the singer may have turned to drugs or some other form of self-medication to escape their problems temporarily. The second verse adds to this theme of escapism, with the lyrics "I know it's a chemical thing, That's why I spend each day, Just trying to get my head on straight."
Throughout the song, the singer seems to be searching for meaning and purpose in life. They reject the idea of wasting time or playing to stay, desiring instead to make it stop and say everything they wanted to say. The lyrics "Tell me why it never made sense, I guess I figured out sooner than later, That love's just another kind of bliss, Someday you'll come to miss" reflect the idea that love is fleeting and temporary, and perhaps the singer has been disappointed or hurt in the past.
The final lines of the song tie together many of the preceding themes, with the lyrics "Take a ride in the getaway car, Some call it another chance, But then they never wake up from it, They take it just a little bit further" suggesting that the singer is aware of the dangers of escape and self-medication, but is still drawn to their allure.
Overall, "Push" is a poignant and introspective song that explores themes of loneliness, escapism, and the search for meaning in life.

late nights
cool drives
living the good life

city lights
street signs
talking as time flies by
.
not sure how long it will last but one thing I know
is that this is your only go
so make it your best
.
until we understand
the true meaning
of this time
and its true
ending
