a large portion of this album was dedicated to Andrew Wood after his death, and I do think that this song is no exception, but my opinion of the "pushin' forward back" explanation, is that it is not a syringe, but rather, he (Andrew?) is trying to push his way back into his mothers life, but she pushes him away. "I was pushin' forward back."
