Against the Wall
Prime Ministers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it’s too much, I can help you
If it’s too far, I can take you
If you don’t know, what you are looking for
If you don’t know, I can give you more

What have we been fighting for
Can’t say i can’t give you more
Don’t wanna find out where you are now

Can you hear me, feel me
See me crawling naked falling
Can you hear me
I can’t take much more
With my face against
My face against the wall

I could wait here, hang around you
I don’t know where, I will find you
With my eyes rolled, till I just look wrong
With my hands flat, flat against the wall

If I was wrong or was right
Or what was yours or what’s mine
Don’t want to find out I’m wrong

Can you hear me
I can’t take much more
With my face against
My face against the wall
With my face against
My face against the wall

I don’t wanna be standing with my face to the wall
I don’t wanna be standing with my face to the wall
I don’t wanna be standing with my face to the wall
I don’t wanna be standing, standing, standing, standing

Can you hear me, feel me
See me crawling naked falling
Can you hear me
I can’t take much more
With my face against
My face against the wall
With my face against

My face against the wall

Overall Meaning

In "Against the Wall," the Prime Ministers offer a desperate plea for connection and understanding, as they promise to help and support their loved one through difficult times. The song incorporates themes of emotional vulnerability, anxiety and a longing for the comfort of a familiar presence. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the Prime Ministers offer reassurance to a confused and lost partner. They promise to help and support their partner, but it is unclear if they have the answers the partner seeks: "If you don't know, what you are looking for / If you don't know, I can give you more."

As the song progresses, the Prime Ministers become increasingly desperate and frustrated. They ask, "What have we been fighting for?" and plead with their partner, "Can you hear me, feel me, see me crawling naked falling / Can you hear me / I can't take much more / With my face against my face against the wall." The repeated line "I don't wanna be standing with my face to the wall" emphasizes the sense of helplessness and isolation that the Prime Ministers feel, as they struggle to communicate and connect with their partner.

Overall, "Against the Wall" is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a relationship on the brink of collapse, where both parties are struggling to communicate their needs and understand one another. The Prime Ministers' lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional desperation and isolation, leaving listeners with a sense of empathy and understanding for those struggling in similar situations.
