Push
Tenacious D feat. DIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you know the feeling
As the ring slips through your fingers
Sometimes you justify it
But there's the sword
And you're bleeding once again
Can't crawl away
Here's a way to save you
You gotta push
Get out of my way and push
You can turn the wheel
Push
One more push
You're master of the broken heart
And so you know the feeling
As your soul starts going under
Sometimes you rectify it
Then out of the blue
The hammer falls again
Before you're in the water
Can't sail away
Here's a way to save you
You gotta push
Break the body down
Oh push
Out of my way I'll push
You better push
You gotta push
Hands against the wall
And push
Out of my way we'll push
You can turn the wheel
Go on and push
Push
Push
Push
Push
The lyrics of "Push" by Tenacious D feat. DIO seem to be addressing the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of pain, heartbreak, and struggle. The imagery of riding a carousel, the ring slipping through your fingers, bleeding from a sword, and being in a corner unable to crawl away all suggest the feeling of being trapped and helpless. The chorus offers a way out through pushing - pushing through the pain, breaking down the body, and pushing through obstacles. The song suggests that while it may be difficult, pushing through and persevering is the only way to move forward and overcome these struggles.
The verses also touch on the cyclical nature of these struggles, suggesting that just when you think you've rectified the pain, the hammer falls again and you're back where you started. However, the chorus offers a message of hope and empowerment, suggesting that there is a way to save yourself - you just have to push.
Overall, "Push" is a powerful and motivating song about overcoming adversity and persevering through difficult times, even when it feels like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of struggle.

You've ridden on a carousel
You have experienced the ups and downs of life
So you know the feeling
You understand the emotional turmoil that comes with life's ups and downs
As the ring slips through your fingers
As opportunities slip away from you
Sometimes you justify it
Sometimes you try to rationalize missed opportunities
But there's the sword
But there are consequences
And you're bleeding once again
And you are suffering the repercussions of your missed opportunities
Before you're in a corner
Before you find yourself at a dead end
Can't crawl away
Unable to escape the situation
Here's a way to save you
There is a solution to your problem
You gotta push
You have to push through the obstacles and challenges
Get out of my way and push
Get out of your own way and push yourself to succeed
You can turn the wheel
You have control over the direction of your life
One more push
One more effort to overcome the challenges
You're master of the broken heart
You have experienced heartbreak and emotional pain
And so you know the feeling
And thus understand the emotional distress of others
As your soul starts going under
As you begin to lose hope
Sometimes you rectify it
Sometimes you try to fix the situation
Then out of the blue
Then unexpectedly
The hammer falls again
The situation worsens despite your efforts
Before you're in the water
Before you are overwhelmed by the situation
Can't sail away
Unable to escape the circumstances
Here's a way to save you
There is still a solution to your dilemma
Break the body down
Push yourself to the limit physically and emotionally
Oh push
Continue pushing yourself to succeed
Out of my way I'll push
I will push against any obstacle in my path
You better push
You must push through the challenges to achieve success
Hands against the wall
Facing the challenge head-on
Out of my way we'll push
Together we will overcome any obstacle
Go on and push
Keep pushing forward
Push
Never give up, always push yourself to succeed
Push
Always keep striving towards your goals
Push
Continue pushing yourself beyond your limits
Push
Press on and don't give up on your dreams
