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 lyrics to Static – X's song Push It are filled with imagery and metaphor about the corrosive, explosive, and all-consuming nature of sin and desire. The first verse speaks to the idea of being tainted by sin, and of feeling the urge to spill blood, but being unable to control it. The singer is consumed by their desire, and their hand is stiffened by the weight of it. The image of eating away at the surface of something adds to the sense that this desire is corrosive and destructive.
The chorus repeats the phrase "yeah, you push it," which seems to refer to the idea of being pushed to the limit by this corrosive desire. The second verse continues with the theme of explosiveness and violence, and speaks to the idea of the desire being all-consuming, throbbing, and leading straight to the circle. The line "I slow it down" suggests that the singer is attempting to gain some control over their desire, but ultimately they are unable to do so.
The final verse adds to the sense of chaos and violence, with the singer's mind being described as corrosive and their eyes as explosive. The repetition of "I see it, I need it" suggests that this desire is all-encompassing and all-consuming, and the line "black out, crucify me" suggests that the singer is willing to suffer the consequences of their desire.
Overall, the lyrics to Push It are a powerful depiction of the destructive nature of desire and sin, and the way in which it can consume and overwhelm us.
