Push Your Head Towards The Air Lyrics

Cover art for Push Your Head Towards The Air lyrics by Editors

"If I lay, face down..would you walk all over me" This makes me think of someone letting another treat them bad(abuse) and not doing anything about it.

"Have we learned what we set out to learn.." Not learning from your mistake of letting people walk over you, and just accepting it. Like being in an abusive relationship and not doing anything about it.

"Now don't drown in your tears.." This sounds like it comes from the abuser...just giving that person a bit of hope-that they do love them really-but the person is still down and being abused.

"If you fall..."Reminds me of someone trying to escape, but it's pointless, because that abusive person will always find them.

"But I will tear the prize...."Again, someone promised that they would keep them safe, but instead "There's people climbing out..."so they are dead. Maybe emotionally, from the abuse.

Probably way off! but that's just what it said to me :) Really love this song!
