Pushed Again
Resisting Conformity: Battling Inner Struggles in Die Toten Hosen's 'Pushed Again'
Lyrics
Whispering voices in my head
Internal thoughts or instincts that are persistently influencing the person.
Sounds like they're calling my name
Feels like external forces or influences are summoning or demanding attention.
A heavy hand is shaking my bed
Suggests a strong, possibly oppressive, influence that disrupts personal peace.
I'm waking up and I feel the strain
Waking up to the pressure or stress caused by these influences.
I'm feeling pushed again
Repeated feeling of being pressured or coerced into conforming.
I'm feeling pushed again
-Why should I go where everyone goes?
Questioning societal norms and expressing discomfort with conformity and control.
Why should I do what everyone does?
-I don't like it when you get too close
-Don't want to be under your thumb
-I'm feeling pushed again
Repeated feeling of being pressured or coerced into conforming.
I'm feeling pushed again
-I'm feeling pushed again
-Why can't you just leave me alone?
Desire for independence, solitude, and resistance against unwanted assistance or interference.
Solitude is a faithful friend
-Turn the lights off I'm not home
-Can't you see, I don't need your help?
-You're going fast when I want to go slow
Conflict between personal pace and external demands causing confusion and discomfort.
You make me run when I want to walk
-You're sending me down a rocky road
-I get confused when you start to talk
-I'm feeling pushed again
Reiterated feeling of being pushed, emphasizing the intensity of the pressure.
I'm feeling pushed again
-I'm feeling pushed again
-Pushed again
-Why can't you leave me alone?
Request for personal space and resistance against being pushed to uncomfortable limits.
You're dragging me right to the edge
-I've got to go when you jerk my rope
-I don't know where the good times went
-'Cause I'm sick of this pain in my head
Expressing mental anguish and fear of recurring pressure.
And I'm scared I'm being pushed again
-It's getting more than I can take
Intensifying pressure causing extreme mental strain and contemplation of drastic escape.
It's like a band tightening around my head
-If you keep pushing, something's going to break
-It's making me think, I'd be better off dead
-Why can't you just leave me alone?
Reassertion of the desire for solitude and personal resolution without external imposition.
Solitude is a faithful friend
-I'll sort my life out on my own
-I just want this pressure to end
-'Cause I'm sick of this pain in my head
Reiterating the mental distress and fear of continuous external pressure.
And I'm scared I'm being pushed again
-'Cause I'm sick of this pain in my head
-And I'm scared I'm being pushed again
