Buttons
Meija Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m running on low, couldn't let it show
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
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

Overall Meaning

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.
