Pusher
Wax Fang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why don't you come over
And let me show you
All of the... the things you
Can only dream of
You want it?
We've got it all;
Salvation for the tortured soul
Are you with me?
You're not alone
We're all looking for something to call our own

It's all right, it's all right
Keep it together everything will be fine
And it's all right, it's all right
We'll meet again on the other side

She denied everything, oh
Then what are we fighting for?
Is this the end of everything?, oh

Come Hell or high water,
Sisters and brothers
Together we're gonna ride
The elevator into outer space
So why don't you come over
And let me control you
Sit down, shut up
And pay attention
I've got nothing to say

It's alright
It's all right here
Let's stick together and everything will be fine
And it's alright




It's alright
It's altogether in the blink of an eye

She denied everything, oh
Then what are we fighting for?
Is this the end of everything?, oh
Then what are we fighting for?
Is this the end of everything?, oh
But what are we fighting for?
It's the end of everything?, oh

Mouths begin to open up
Begin to open wide
They're opening in stride
And the sound begins to erupt
It sounds like a crowd
Burning alive

It's the end of everything, oh
It's the end of everything, oh

It's the end of everything, oh
And what am I fighting for?
Is this the end of everything?, oh
Then what am I fighting for?
It's all that I'm fighting for
It's all that I'm fighting for
It's all that I'm fighting for

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wax Fang's song "Pusher" seem to describe the invitation of the singer to another person, urging them to come over and experience an alternative reality that can only be dreamt of. They promise to offer salvation to the tortured soul with reassurances that they are not alone in the search for something that can be truly be called one's own. The song takes on a slightly ominous tone, with the singer asking the other person to sit down, shut up, and pay attention. The lyrics are a reflection of the power dynamic being established here, with the singer asserting control and implying that the other person's presence alone is not sufficient. The chorus of the song seems to be a message of reassurance, saying that everything would be fine and that they will eventually meet again on the other side. The song comes to a climax with the line "It's the end of everything, oh" repeated three times, which could be interpreted as an indication of the end of the relationship or the end of reality as they know it.

I just don't understand how this band hasn't blown up the charts yet

I am an 80's person. I don't fit in here, and this guy makes me feel better. Like he was frozen for 30 years.
