Vin and sori hear tool Pushit for the first time

[@ReignSurvives]

This song took on a whole different meaning to me after I lived through a co-dependent relationship with a girl with borderline personality disorder. There’s this weird dynamic where you want to do everything you can to protect the other from pain and so you don’t want to harm them by acknowledging the pain they are inflicting. When you don’t acknowledge it you find yourself becoming distant and resentful. You get the idea that you can endure it long enough for them to heal and you don’t believe they harm you intentionally. But your permitting it is inflicting damage on them as well. The realization that you are as responsible for the abuse as they are is really challenging. You realize that you are choking this beautiful and pure thing that you love by denying it has failed. Think about the lyrics. Place your trigger on my finger. Basically saying we are cooperating in destroying ourselves. Choking this infant here before me. That’s when you find yourself lashing out in self preservation and feel extreme guilt in harming the other person that you still see as pure and innocent. The whole claw your throat out line really hits me because it’s exactly how I experienced it. I didn’t want to hurt her by leaving and I knew it would be deeply painful because she would never end the relationship and the dynamic would never improve. We would always be hurting each other long term. In the end the only way she left was the most painful “hateful” way. I didn’t want to do it but I had to be “cruel” for us each to heal and become well. It killed me inside but as they said there’s no love in fear. Pushit is a perfect name because they fear you will leave them and they try to get proof that you won’t by doing terrible things to scare you off. They push you away. They view the exchange, the argument, the reconciliation as proof of love. The lyrics line up so perfectly. “I saw the gap again today” is the realization that they aren’t truly close, there’s a fissure. She begs him to stay and he’s struggling to push her and himself apart for both of there Health.

[@nathanmessina192]

Lyrical correction: He doesn't say "Push it in me, pushit on me". He says "but you didn't need to pushit on me". Pretty significant difference in meaning lol.

[@jonsnow5230]

kurtrussell most of the tool lyric videos I've seen, have at least a couple mistakes, smh. It detracts from the lyrics significantly...

[@bigmiraclewhips]

@Skankshot Yeah the person who did these lyrics videos that they're using for this album did a pretty poor job

[@Qliphirot]

That's why i hate when bands do not provide the lyrics.

[@ZombieLover84]

@@Qliphirot Actually Maynard has released the official song lyrics he had written done before recording. There's an entire website that basically he has given those to (although I'm not sure he ever released the lyrics for 10,000 Days). Looking at them, there are variances in a ton of the lyrics he provided, and what made it to the record. Because Maynard while recording would feel out his writing and change things on the fly. Tools concert's on most songs have some to a lot of variations from the album releases. Both musically and vocally.

[@HFTVChannel]

Literally official lyrics say otherwise. These ones appear to be correct for the most part (few minor errors elsewhere)

[@normanbreau295]

My favourite part of this song is when they did this song live in 1997 and a stranger decided to climb up on stage and Maynard not knowing how to react he decides through him down and put him in a chokehold, while maynard still continues to sing and do his screams simultaneously. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSXYqKpqZWjg5o

"Is he talking about himself or the other person?" answer; yes! It's about the relationship between his lower and higher being, and the ego trapped in the middle. Third Eye follows along the same theme, but at a different point in the spiritual journey. I'm glad you mentioned Peterson, I have reservations regarding his political opinions, but he has done some good talks on the same Jungian ideas of the shadow self, and of descending the Abyss (the gap) and confronting the Beast, that inspire this song. Peterson even describes the relationship we have with our demons as being like toxic worldly relationships..

[@andrewverrett568]

The lyrics are wrong in the video y'all had.

[@r3wturb0x51]

"You didn't need to shit on me" is what it says

[@danielwade1978]

r3wturb0x / Is this song about child birth?

[@billrobertjoe]

@@danielwade1978 what? how in the fuck? well i guess music is open to all interpretation

[@danielwade1978]

Ethan Peterson - Certain Lyrics “I saw the gap again today... You didn’t need to shit on me (women sometimes shit during childbirth). You minimize my movement anyway. Choke this infant here before me. You’re pushing and shoving me (pushing during child labor) .... “ At first I thought he was using the childbirth experience/mother and child relationship as a metaphor

[@danielwade1978]

Ethan Peterson - One of my favorites is when Maynard uses the inner workings of a coffee pot in The Pot: “ Rob the crave to snow the cradle then burn the evidence down “. “Eyeballs deep in muddy waters (under the influence of caffeine?).”

[@ZombieLover84]

I actually think this song may also be about sexual abuse.

Favorite Song. Not just tool, in general. Been waiting for you guys to get here, even though you listened to the salival version, that one doesnt have that grimy guitar in the middle of the instrumentals while Maynard is dropping the one liners to start it and then it just comes through full force. one of my favorite interludes that comes back hard with Maynards voice so clean in those high notes. 9 months now I dont know what to complain about, but am still happy. Finish the album and I will start pushing for undertow.

[@DaveMustaineShreds]

This song is clearly about jujitsu, think about it every line basically relates to rolling with someone, basically "trying to kill" them but at then afterwards resuming friendship (still love me). "Bang my head upon the faultline" = the little gap between mats. "slipping back into the gap again" = getting past someone's guard. "put me somewhere i dont wanna be" = opponent turning the tables on you and now you're on defensive. "minimize my movement anyway / i must persuade you another way" = basically the thought process during a match. Essentially every line can relate to jujitsu if you look at it, also iirc Maynard practices jujitsu so yeah.

[@durden215]

Interesting take on the song. It does make sense that way....

[@R.Nashoba]

[@MrDuanepalmer]

"Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am i to judge or strike u down?" I believe he is saying she is acting like an infant but perhaps he is as well.

[@ilim4t1c]

I look at this similarly. Except I don't see a girl at all. I think he is talking about his own ego. Maynard has a reputation of being an asshole (I don't necessarily agree), and this song may have been a form of self reflection. He's looking at himself in the mirror, and has nobody to blame but himself. Striking yourself down or judging yourself, will only put you into a deeper hole. Look at the lyrics on the next verse: "Rest your trigger on my finger Bang my head upon the fault line You better take care not to make me enter 'Cause if I do, we both may disappear" I think "we" is his own physical self, and his ego. He loves himself, but he didn't show it in his actions, and kept pushing himself to a low point. If you look at Maynard now vs then, he's a pretty respectful person. Worked on himself a lot. This is just my opinion, I can see both sides though.

This might come as a shocker...but recordings are things that happened in the past. They take time to edit and clean up, render and upload. You might have seen the livestream and more then likely what’s making its way into these videos came from that live session. There’s a near 100% chance that these guys have rendered and uploaded their entire album review already at this point and have the episodes set to scheduled release day by day.

The beginning of this song, with the orchestral bee type sounds. Like a Hornet's nest being stirred up. Overlooked element. The studio version of this song is vastly different than the Salival live versions. Almost like two completely different songs. The live version has a completely different beginning. Has tabla drums implemented and then slowly builds up to the studio version at the end.

[@ChicowitzMcStanley]

Vin and Sori. I wouldn’t be so quick to just plug this song into a man/woman relationship. Think of a child being molested and/or abused by an adult and listen to the song again. By the way, there are hidden tracks during the creepy/melodic part. In the beginning you can hear “you make me do it” and toward the end you can here “in the end, we’ll be alright”. One last thing, some of the lyrics were wrong.

There's an awful lot there, traveling through space & all that. It's not an intro song, and although you guys have listened to a lot of Tool I believe a song like Pushit cannot be fully appreciated in the short run. Over time it might become your mantra.
