I Pushed the Button Lyrics

The song to me is literally about self-destruction, emphasized with "I can't help but break it down, I've got a heart that's full of mushroom clouds, When it's self-destructive, Like I'm wired to delete, Anything that might be good for me..."

This showcases that it might be about the self-awareness of self-destruction, and how they can't help themselves so far. It says "self-destructive" and references wrecking balls, mushroom clouds, and "I calculate the best ways to make it fall". This infers an element of self-sabotage also. The hopeful element to this main theme is; "But soon I'll find the way, To build up something beautiful that stays..." and "This could be the last time that I undo, The standing bridge that's taking me straight to you..." This ends with promising to build a bridge that will help better the relationship.

A simple and not-so-subtle song, but a fun beat with a helluva-good chorus!

[Edit: personal self-destruction is redundant.]
