Push It Up
X.I.B. 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 of X.I.B.'s song Push It Up embody a sense of intense, overwhelming energy that is almost impossible to contain. The first stanza describes a feeling of being tainted by sin, which is causing the singer to spill blood and consume everything in their path. The use of the word "corrosive" paints a vivid picture of something that is slowly eating away at the surface it touches, and the repetition of the word creates a sense of urgency and relentlessness. This is contrasted with the second stanza, which describes a sudden explosive energy that is "throbbing straight to the circle". The shift in tone and imagery from the first stanza creates a sense of release, but one that is equally intense and consuming.
Overall, the lyrics of Push It Up seem to be describing the experience of being overwhelmed by powerful emotions, whether they are negative or positive. The repetition of the phrase "yeah, you push it" reinforces the idea that the singer is not in control of the energy that is driving them, but rather being driven by some external force. The final lines, "my eyes are explosive/I feed on it/black out/crucify me", suggest that this energy is both dangerous and addictive, and that the singer is willing to sacrifice themselves to experience it.
