Pushing Me Away
Linkin Park(린킨 파크) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away
The lyrics of Linkin Park's "Pushing Me Away" are an introspective look at a failing relationship. The first verse sets the scene of the singer lying to their partner and putting on a false smile to keep up appearances, even though everything is falling apart. The sacrifice of hiding in this lie eventually leads to a breakdown, as no one can keep up appearances forever. The chorus repeats the lines "Why I never walked away, why I played myself this way, now I see you're testing me pushes me away" to illustrate the singer's frustration at being pushed away by their partner's testing behavior.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's experience, showing that they have tried to do everything their partner wanted, but it was never enough. The sacrifice of taking the blame for the sake of the relationship has taken its toll, leading to the same breakdown as before. The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the frustration of being tested and pushed away.
The bridge provides a sense of finality, with the repeated line "We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds." The sacrifice of hiding in a lie and not knowing why the relationship failed is the sacrifice that hurts the most.
Overall, the lyrics of "Pushing Me Away" reveal the pain and frustration of feeling trapped in a relationship that is falling apart. The sacrifices made to keep it together eventually lead to a breakdown, and the testing behavior of the partner pushes the singer away. It is a profound reflection on the complex emotions present in a relationship that has reached its breaking point.

My all time top 1 as well.
The perfect duality of melancholy and power.
The emotional orchestra of sorrow, nostalgia, grief, resentment and anger.
The matching pairs of
The lead guitar distorted harmonics + Chesters chorus with just the right amount of distortion
and
The peaceful and beautiful guitar harmonics + Chester's melodic clear verse.
This song just touches me so deeply.

It was also hard for me to listen to Linkin Park after Chester passed.
Sometimes i wanna end my life, but my daughters wife and family the small things hold me.
I almost died yesterday, This song makes me kick life in it's ASS :)
Makes me happy!
I'm 32 today, I grew up on LP, Good times being a kid with this kind of music.
Thank you Mike, Brad, Rob, David, Joe and of the late Chester.
"I heard you die twice
once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that
somebody mentions your name
So when I leave here on this earth
did I take more than I gave?
Did I look out for the people or
did I do it all for fame?"
R.I.P Chester you only died once.
❤

My parents laughed at me because I said LP was a very important part of my teenage years. While I was depressed and down, these songs were my hiding place. Love them forever.
