Pushing & Shoving

[maddogmj77]

For anyone who is or has been in a difficult relationship. I want you to take the time to listen to this.
You may not be able to relate to it, it may mean nothing to you.
For me, it helped gain a better perspective of my last relationship that went bad.

Try hard not to quickly judge the song; & get rid of any distractions

"We're gonna need your help
and your permission"
...
"I want you to shut your eyes and go there,
and we'll meet you on the other side.."

I want to hear other people's thoughts on this. Can anybody relate to it the way I did?

"Saw that gap again today.
While you were begging me to stay.
Take care not to make me enter.
If I do we both may disappear."

[I saw the gap between us again, while you were begging me to stay.
You always took care to make sure I did not enter, for if I do we both may disappear.]

"Saw that gap again today.
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well, my dear
And you, as well
Pushed you away my dear"

[I've managed to push myself away now, and you as well.]

"But you're pushing me
And I'm shoving you"

[But now you're pushing me, and I'm shoving you]

"Rest your trigger on my finger,
Bang my head upon the fault line
You better take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear"

[You rest all of 'your' blame on me; & shame me for all of 'my' mistakes.
You better take care not to make me enter that gap again, if I do we both may disappear.]

"But you're pushing me
And I'm shoving you
And your pushing me
And I'm shoving you

You still love me

We're pushing and were shoving
And you're pushing and I'm shoving

You still love me

And were pushing and were shoving
And I'm pushing as your shoving"

[So the cycle of push & shove, blame & shame, continues. And you say you still love me.]

"And I'm slipping back into the gap again
I feel alive when you touch me...
I feel alive when you hold me...
...down"

[I'm slipping back into the gap again.
But I only feel alive when I'm with you.]

"Slipping back into you"

[So I slip back into you, I can not leave you]

"Pushing and Shoving and
Pushing and Shoving and
Pushing me

There's no love in fear."

[Pushing & shoving, this is not love, this is just fear of being alone.]

"Staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come."

[Staring down that hole again; leaving you
Your hands are on my back again; "you still love me"
I'm terrified of what may come.]

"Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your fucking throat away.
It will end no other way."

[I will always love you, but this will not end any other way.]

I'm absolutely horrible at explaining anything, but if other's would care to share, I can try to elaborate more.

This really speaks to me. I can relate to this somewhat.
