The Box Lyrics

I am a box
I am a scream
I'm every nightmare
I'm every dream
I am the window
Over your land
So turn me on
Come take my hand

Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push

I offer you scandal
I offer a wealth
Of gratuitous violence
Hazardous to your health
I give the vision
Of what life should be
I choose your heroes
Come follow me
Follow me

Come follow me

Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push

It's just a box
It's just a screen
It's only a nightmare
It's only a dream
We give the vision
Of how life should be
We choose our own heroes
Come follow me

Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push
Ooh

Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me
Don't push me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't push
Don't push
Don't push
Don't push

Don't push!
Don't push!
Don't push!
Don't push me!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The box is a metaphor, for TV, stating its powerful and influential force that presents both positive and negative aspects of life. It tells of its ability to captivate and control individuals by offering a range of intense emotions and sensations. The box is a window that provides a view of the world full of scandal and violence, while also offering a vision of what life should be and what heroes to follow.
