Pushit (Live)

I listen to Tool everyday. The are my favorite band As everyone should already know about the use of LSD by the band. Everyone interprets everything differently, I think this song has a lot to do with an LSD trip.

We've been trying something a little different this tour. We've been looking at one of our songs from a different angle, under a different light, so we can hopefully kind of see it almost for the first time. We'd like try that for you tonight, is that okay?

[self explanatory]

We're gonna need your help though. We're gonna need your help and your permission, so we need you to find a comfortable space, that is not only comfortable, but vulnerable. I want you to shut your eyes and go there, and we'll meet you on the other side..

[the other side, meaning in the other life, a new light, a somewhat religious experience]

Saw that gap again today. While you were begging me to stay. Take care not to make me enter. If I do we both may disappear.

[i saw the gap in the space in between my body and mind, if i enter the gap my inner being and outer self may both disappear]

Saw that gap again today. While you were begging me to stay Managed to push myself away And you as well, my dear And you, as well Pushed you away my dear

[i saw the gap in the space between my body and mind, while arguing with myself. I was able to free my body as well as my mind]

I will choke until I swallow Choke this infant here before me What are you but my reflection? Who am I to judge or strike you down?

[there is nothing else i can say, i am just a child inside. who am i talking to but my self? who am i to judge or strike you down?]

But you're pushing me And I'm shoving you And your pushing me And I'm shoving you

[im fighting with myself]

Rest your trigger on my finger, Bang my head upon the fault line You better take care not to make me enter If I do we both may disappear

[talking to self : help me to free myself, let me free myself. if i enter the gap my inner being and outer self may both disappear]

But you're pushing me And I'm shoving you And your pushing me And I'm shoving you

[im fighting with myself]

You still love me

We're pushing and were shoving And you're pushing and I'm shoving

You still love me

And were pushing and were shoving And I'm pushing as your shoving

[im fighting with myself]

And I'm slipping back into the gap again I feel alive when you touch me... I feel alive when you hold me... ...down

[im going back home, into the eye of the journey, i am at my peak]

Slipping back into you

I am somewhere I dont wanna be, yeah Put me somewhere I dont wanna be Push me somewhere I dont wanna be Seeing someplace I don't wanna see Never wanna see that place again...

[he saw himself and the world for what it truly is on this journey]

Saw that gap again today While you were begging me to stay Managed to push myself away, And you as well, my dear

[i saw the gap in the space in between my body and mind, if i enter the gap my inner being and outer self may both disappear]

If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, You minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way

[i am such a bigger person on the inside]

Pushing and Shoving and Pushing and Shoving and Pushing me

There's no love in fear.

[fighting with self]

Staring down the hole again. Hands are on my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come.

[im looking into the mirror, i feel the pressure, the only way out is to live, terrified of what may come]

Remember I will always love you, As I claw your fucking throat away. It will end no other way.

[love/hate relationship between ones self, and ones mind when running wild]

Like I said everyone can interpret it differently, please leave rude comments out of this, my vision may be different than everyone's, but its nice to look at it under a different light.
