Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how you like it
Of course you'll play it cool
Don't brag about it
Cause if it's hard to get
I guess you'll notice
It's oh so precious don't you notice
Let's talk about it
I've put you on the spot
Be real about it
Lay down that shiny tool
What's that you're building
I'll smash your head with what you're building
Make sure you're in the mood
Don't laugh about it
Make sure you're in the mood
Don't joke about it
I hope you've got a clue
Of what I'm saying
Don't turn your back that's what I'm saying
I'll teach you how to crawl
You sweaty bastard
I'll teach you how to crawl
You drunken starlet
A hazy, bitter moon
A polar feeling
My broken back that's all I'm feeling
Push, push
Showers in my head
If you push push
Showers in my head
Yes you fall down
Oh honey dear yes you fall down
Push, push
Showers in my head
If you push push
Showers in my head
Yes you fall down
Oh honey dear yes you fall down
Of course you'll play it cool
That's how you like it
Of course you'll play it cool
Don't brag about it
Cause if it's hard to get
I guess you'll notice
It's oh so precious don't you notice
I've put you on the spot
Let's talk about it
I've put you on the spot
Be real about it
Lay down that shiny tool
That's what you're building
I'll smash your head with what you're building
Make sure you're in the mood
Don't laugh about it
Make sure you're in the mood
Don't joke about it
I hope you've got a clue
Of what I'm saying
Don't turn your back that's what I'm saying
I'll teach you how to crawl
You sweaty bastard
I'll teach you how to crawl
You drunken starlet
A hazy, bitter moon
A polar feeling
My broken back that's all I'm feeling
I think we'll make it to the moon, my dear
I think we'll make it to the moon, my dear
Push, push
Showers in my head
If you push push
Showers in my head
Yes you fall down
Oh honey dear yes you fall down
Push, push

Oh honey dear yes you fall down

The lyrics to Rumplestitchkin's song "Push" are ambiguous and open to interpretation. The song seems to be sung from the perspective of someone who is frustrated with another person's behavior, possibly a lover or a friend. The opening lines suggest that the person being addressed likes to play it cool and is not willing to show their emotions or admit to caring about something. The chorus, "Showers in my head," suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions, possibly due to the other person's behavior.
The second verse seems to escalate the frustration, with the singer demanding that the other person "be real about it" and stop hiding behind a "shiny tool." The bridge uses vivid language to describe the singer's anger and physicality, calling the other person a "sweaty bastard" and a "drunken starlet" and threatening to "smash [their] head" with what they're building. The final lines of the song suggest a desire for unity and hope that they will eventually "make it to the moon."
Overall, the song seems to be expressing a combination of frustration, anger, and a desire for connection. The repeated use of the phrase "Push, push" could be interpreted as a call to action, urging the other person to break down their barriers and engage with the singer more fully.
