i think ophelia got it right. There's one night in my life which I call the most profound experience of my life. I was at work, retail, and was a borderline heartbroken man from the unrequieted love whom I worked with for over a year. That night, in a perfect storm of events, I was just ready to surrender to my brain and move on, which was hard to think over, but I wanted my love (who was working with me that night) to kill my misery. All of a sudden, a customer who I saw came in and was going through something like me, something I could recognize only because it was universal, she was hopelessly heartbroken too. Her face was "elegant" and "tired." Still beautiful, with her "wild" eyes. I beieved I saw her "crime" so easily cuz I was guilty of it too. We were two of a kind, universally speaking. That was 7 years ago. It's funny what I guy remembers. I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since then when I haven't thought of that young girl. |

| that's exactly correct. People don't give RHCP enough credit in their lyrics | |
| Linkin Park – Pushing Me Away Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| To me the song is about a man at the start of a changed mind and learning his tragic flaw, that's he doesn't love her the way he did anymore, and that it's the "last time" he'll be someone else to be with her. He is too tired of hiding the lie and wants to tell her, the sacrifice is too heavy. Their relationship was based on both parties lying (I tried like you to do everything..) and the adult thing to do is to finally walk away ("I never walked away"). And the larger meanin he's learned that's echoed by the back-up chorous is that everything has to end at some point. | |
