Push & Pull Lyrics

Cover art for Push & Pull lyrics by Nikka Costa

for me, 'Mr. Nothing' is a person who hides his true self in front of others ("Gives nothing away; Another day goes on by ; And he never speaks his heart ")...He feels he loses himself in this role he's playing, he cannot rearrange what he did/what he's faking, he drowns in desperation and loneliness ("It's too late now to stop", "He's running out of time ; He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign") In the chorus Nikka describes this. 'Mr. nothing' wants to be able to handle his life, wants to know what life is all about, if it's worth living...he searches for answers:"Looks to the sky above For a glimpse of what it means And never never never make Make no sense to him" Maybe he looks for someone he can show his true self to,too, but he didnt find this person til now. Maybe Nikka wants to tell him with the chorus that she understands why he's faking.

wow... how do get lucky enough to find a person with this kind of insight... I think that an amazing interpretation... very true .And ,yes the song fit nicely with the movie,I disagree about the drugs, drugs may have been involved but not the issue there .... I think Agatha,u hit this nail on the head
