Push
Navigating Desolation: Gary Jules' 'Push' Unveils a City's Cold Pulse
Lyrics
Don't you know nobody lives here
Nobody resides in this place
By choice anymore
Intentionally, by choice, or desire
Don't you know no one rides for free
No one gets a free ride
Don't you know there's nothing
There's nothing as aesthetically pleasing as it used to be
That's just pretty like before
Nothing retains its previous beauty
Or so you keep telling me
Despite what you claim to me
The ocean ain't breaking
The ocean seems unwelcoming or hostile
It's back to look friendly
The sea doesn't appear approachable or kind
No, the killer sleeps cold
Danger or a threatening force remains dormant
We run through the veins of the city
We, as people, are deeply ingrained within the urban environment
Borrowed cars and frozen shoes
Using things temporarily and feeling trapped
We do as we're told
Obedience to instructions without deviation
Over and over and over again
Repetition of actions or situations
Can't make a circle
Unable to form a complete or perfect cycle
So end over end we go
Continuously moving forward in an imperfect manner
Come away from the window
Step away from the window, as danger is approaching
The dogs will appear
Threats or challenges might become visible
I've seen them around
The presence of danger has been noticed before
And now, as the head turns to hear
As attention shifts, speaking with intensity or fervor
You speak with passion
Having a deep understanding of someone
You know me so well
You understand me extremely well
Why should I build
Why put effort into creating when selling is easier
It's so easy to sell
It's simpler to exchange or profit from something
Push
An urging or compelling force
Push
Another insistence or pressure
It's never just a little
Nothing is minor; everything is significant
It's never enough
There's always a craving for more
It's never enough
Nothing ever feels entirely sufficient
