Buttons
Meija Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want you more than anybody else I know
Couldn′t let you go, you could keep my soul
Cause now you know more than anybody else should know
I'll let you take my pride, who needs it anyway?
There's nothing left to hide, that′s why
I let you push all of my buttons all the time
Pushing me out, pushing me out of my head
Me out of my head
I could take a fall, I could lose it all
Might as well take what everybody else is on
Find me down the hall, cause now I feel small
Being a part of something, somewhere I haven′t gone
There's nothing left of pride, now I′m a runaway
Just now I feel alright, and that's why
I let you push all of my buttons all the time
And you could push me off the edge all you like
Pushing me out, pushing me out of my head
Me out of my head
I let you push all of my buttons all the time
And you could push me off the edge all you like
Pushing me out, pushing me out of my head
Me out of my head
The lyrics of Meija's song "Buttons" suggest someone who is struggling with their emotions and is allowing someone else to take control of their life. The person is feeling "low," but doesn't want to show it to others. They want the other person in the song more than anyone they know, and this person could "keep their soul" because they know more about them than they should.
The song talks about surrendering one's pride and allowing the other person to take control. The person feels small and is willing to take any risk to be part of something different from what they're used to. The song is about how the person has let the other person "push all of their buttons," or control them because they have nothing left to hold onto, and they find comfort in the chaos because it allows them to let go of their inhibitions.
Overall, this song can be seen as an escape for someone who is struggling to find their identity or control their emotions. They are willing to surrender everything if it means that they can gain some sense of direction or purpose in their life. The song is encouraging them to let go of their inhibitions and embrace their weaknesses and, in doing so, empower themselves.

I'm running on low, couldn't let it show
Despite feeling drained, I refused to show it
But I want you more than anybody else I know
You are the one I desire the most in my life
Couldn't let you go, you could keep my soul
I can't bear to lose you, you are the only one who truly understands me
Cause now you know more than anybody else should know
I've opened up to you in a way that I wouldn't for anyone else
I'll let you take my pride, who needs it anyway?
I'm willing to give up my sense of self-importance for you
There's nothing left to hide, that's why
There's no reason to conceal anything from you anymore
I let you push all of my buttons all the time
I let you get away with everything because I care for you so deeply
Pushing me out, pushing me out of my head
You are pushing me away from my thoughts and making me focus on us instead
I could take a fall, I could lose it all
I'm willing to risk it all for the sake of our relationship
Might as well take what everybody else is on
I might as well go all in and join everyone else who's in love
Find me down the hall, cause now I feel small
I'm lost and I need you to find me, because you make me feel safe and secure
There's nothing left of pride, now I'm a runaway
I've abandoned my sense of self-importance completely
Just now I feel alright, and that's why
I feel content because I have you by my side
And you could push me off the edge all you like
I'm allowing you to take full control and do whatever you please with me
Pushing me out, pushing me out of my head
You are dominating my thoughts and emotions, and I don't mind it at all
Me out of my head
My love for you has pushed me to the brink of madness, and I don't want to come back from it
