Push It
Static-X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tainted by my sin
I'm spilling blood
And I can hardly contain it
Corrosive
Hallowing the hand
Stiffened
I eat away
Eat into the surface
Yeah, you push it
Yeah, you push it
Yeah, you push it
Explosive
More violent more violent
All consuming
Throbbing
Straight to the circle
Explosive
Move on reaction
I slow it down
I slow it
Down down down down
Yeah, you push it
Yeah, you push it
Yeah, you push it
I see it, I need it
I see it, I need it
My mind is corrosive
I trip on corrosive
I freak
See through me
My eyes are explosive
I feed on it
Black out
Crucify me
Yeah, you push it
The song Push It by Static-X is a dark and intense track that explores themes of violence, aggression and self-destruction. The lyrics are graphic, painting a picture of a person who is consumed by their own corrosive tendencies, unable to control their desire to spill blood and cause destruction. The words use vivid imagery to describe the physical effects of this corrosive behavior, such as eating away at the surface or throbbing straight to the circle. The chorus repeats the phrase "yeah, you push it", which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a reference to the idea of being pushed to one's limits or the way that some people push themselves to extremes. Alternatively, it could be a statement about something external that is pushing the singer towards their destructive tendencies, or perhaps a reference to drugs or alcohol.
The verses of the song build up tension and momentum, with the lyrics becoming more frenzied and explosive as the music swells. The chorus acts as a release of that tension, with the repetition of the phrase "yeah, you push it" acting as a sort of cathartic release. The bridge of the song brings in new elements, including the line "my mind is corrosive", which reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling with internal demons. The final line of the song, "crucify me", takes the religious connotations of the word "corrosive" and turns it into a plea for punishment or redemption.
Overall, Push It is a dark and intense song that captures a sense of uncontrolled rage and self-destructive tendencies. It's a powerfully written piece of music that uses vivid imagery and repetition to build up a sense of tension and release, with the singer ultimately consumed by their own corrosive urges.
