Pusher
Walking Shapes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Views that we share from rooftops
Trees blowing south
I've become your bad guy
I don't want to drown in silence
Innate fears to crown my sadness
Brighter moment that we shared
Weight of words
Only fear
I've become your bad guy
I don't want to drown in silence
Innate fears to crown my sadness
The lyrics to "Pusher" by Walking Shapes present a complex portrayal of a relationship between two people, likely romantic in nature. The opening line, "Plane overhead do you see?" sets the stage for a contemplative reflection on shared experiences, both positive and negative. The songwriter asks if their partner notices the same things they do, suggesting a desire for connection and intimacy.
The third line, "Trees blowing south," highlights a change in direction, possibly implying a shift in the couple's dynamic. The following line, "I've become your bad guy," continues this theme, suggesting a sense of guilt or responsibility on the part of the songwriter. This could be due to a specific action or behavior that they view as negative, or simply a sense of feeling like they are to blame for the tension in the relationship.
The chorus of the song, "I don't want to drown in silence / Innate fears to crown my sadness," speaks to a fear of isolation and a desire for emotional vulnerability. The songwriter seems to be admitting that they have internal struggles that they don't want to keep hidden, and that they want to break free from a pattern of withdrawing or avoiding difficult conversations. Overall, "Pusher" presents a nuanced perspective on the complexities of relationships and the importance of communication and honesty.
