Push Pull Lyrics


You were young and you'd start
With a reverence incurred
There was an echo far and faint
Beneath the air remained
You were young and you'd stare
Where my limbs hung far and fair
Make a ladder of what folds and climb up in me

You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the vein's growing slow
You push and you pull but you would never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go

There was no light and I swear
I could see a rearing fear
I heard the planes moaning back
I saw the thunder roll or black
There was no light and I swear
We sat still in our fear
Make a ladder of what folds and climb up in me

You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the vein's growing slow
You push and you pull but you would never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go

I carve out the spaces and I
Imparted graces and I
I couldn't shake it and I

I build a constellation lair
Out of the moles that hovered there
A fever billowed with the wind
And I obeyed the sky therein
I build a constellation lair
Out of the moles that hovered there
Make a pardon of what knows and climb up in me

You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the vein's growing slow
You push and you pull but you would never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go

You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
It's like when you lie down, the vein's growing slow
You push and you pull but you would never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go

Push Pull Song Chart
  • The lead single from Another Eternity, vocalist Megan James described the lyrical content to MTV News as a "sort of stream of consciousness." She added: "It was a time when I was moving from one side of Canada, the east side, and driving in four days all the way to Edmonton. It was kind of a big deal for me to move then, so I think it's a lot about linear emotions and driving through landscapes and relating that to an experience where I felt like I was… I was trying to put myself… be where I was, that turned into existing in that traverse."

    "The song travels a lot I think. But at the same I still don't really know what it's about."
  • The song's music video was crafted by Purity Ring in collaboration with photographer and videographer Renata Raksha. We see Megan James spinning and floating throughout the clip as if she's underwater. Asked where the treatment came from by MTV News, she replied: "I don't know where it came from but, like, there was haste to do it, so it had to be a simple concept. Sort of like those videos where the artist is, like, there's often one shot focused on them singing and minimal. We knew it had to be that because we were trying to do it in a short period of time, but we also tried to bring in really simple elements that would create a more intriguing or interesting appeal."

    "And yeah, the movement, we wanted something that would move and also bring an underwater element," James added. "Everything we do has kind of an otherworldly tinge, we're trying to create another, a different place to exist. It was an attempt to make it appear like I wasn't actually on the ground."
