Push
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Collective desperate overkill
Wrapped up in harmless words that grin
Forbidden games you'll never win
The more you see the more you know
Intended media mind control
Shut down and see how beautiful life can be
This is the prime of your lifetime
More than the half of your lifetime
Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your independence
Push your real intention
Face your unconscious addiction
Push your private fiction
Push
It's getting sicker frame by frame
You're always staring at the same
What is a lie, what is the truth?
Incredible disgusting news
The world is rough, the end is near
Just calculation with your fear
Without a shame nor least respect
The operators stand erect
This is the prime of your lifetime
You see through eyes of someone else
More than the half of your lifetime
Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your independence
Push your real intention
Face your unconscious addiction
Push your private fiction
Push
The lyrics to Helloween's song "Push" are a commentary on the media's influence on society and the dangers of blindly following what is presented to us. The first verse describes how media companies will spend millions of dollars to entertain us at the expense of our own sanity. They use harmless words and wrap everything up in a pretty little package to lure us in, but the games they play are forbidden and we will never truly win. The more we consume, the more we realize that it's all just intended media mind control. The song then suggests that we should shut it all down and see how beautiful life can be without the constant barrage of information.
The chorus encourages the listener to push back against this media control and enforce their own independence. We should face our own unconscious addictions and push our own private fictions rather than relying on what the media tells us. The second verse describes how the media is getting sicker and more disgusting with each passing day. We are bombarded with the same images and asked to believe what is a lie and what is the truth. The world is portrayed as rough and the end is always near, feeding off of our fears. The operators of these media conglomerates have no shame and no respect for the people they are targeting.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, encouraging the listener to push against the control and influence that the media has on our lives.

@AlexThorn
This is their best album, what a fucking opening track
@europaborealis
Hello 2019
@pierpaololucchesi7167
Yes, it is!
@lingera8222
What?? Walls of Jericho? Keeper of Seven Keys part I and II? Time of the Oath?
@josie1776
@@lingera8222 , Keepers are overrated. They are not so good as the albums released between 1994 and 2000.
@danielsan2142
It's just a matter of opinion. I for one think there is an abyss between both Keepers in favor of the part II. My top 5:
1 - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II
2 - Walls Of Jericho
3 - Better Than Raw
4 - The Time Of The Oath
5 - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I
@danielsan2142
Most brutal song ever released by Helloween. Pure art, absolute masterpiece!
