Tool – Pushit lyrics
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.

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

But you're
Pushin' and shoving me. (x4, soft)
Pushin' and shoving me. (x4, loud)
You still love me, still love me,
Push it on me, push it on me.
You still love me, still love me.
Push it on me, push it on me.

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.

But you're
Pushin' and shoving me. (x2, soft)
Pushin' and shoving me. (x2, loud)
You still love me, still love me,
Push it on me, push it on me.
You're pushin' it, shoving me. (x2)

I'm slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
But not when you're shoving me down.
But I'd trade it all
For just a little piece of mind.

Push it on me. (x4)
Your Pushin' and shovin' and scramblin'
To keep my feet flat on the ground

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

Saw that gap again today
While you were begging me to stay.
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well, my dear.
If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
One must persuade you another way.
Pushin', shovin', pushin', shovin, pushin me
There's no love in fear.
Staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your fucking throat away.
There will be no other way,
It will end no other way.

    The entire album is about Jungian therapy. Look at the album title. He's writing to his shadow. The gap is the gap between stimulus and response. With mindfulness you can enter the gap and stop reacting to triggers. If you enter that gap, your unconscious shadow impulse disappears, and so does your ego; you're just mindfulness. Hence, you both (ego, shadow) disappear.

    Its mainly about two people and one wants the other one to stay but the other one wants to get away and they want to love eachother but she shoves him around and treats him like s*t and no matter how hard he tries to make it work she makes it worse and it proves that she will never understand that he can't take the abuse any more cause he says ther is no love in fear and she will never rellize that he can't love her anymore cuz its to much pain for him and if they stay they will both die with faded love.

    I don't think that is it at all. When two people are in any relationship, they end up losing pieces of themselves in that other person. One person notices the change and say that they need a break in order to 'recharge'. The other person in the relationship doesn't see this, and they get scared that they are going to lose the relationship. "If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay, You minimize my movement anyway" The one person does not want to let go for any ammount of time.
    This song can be interprited as putting yourself first in order to improve relationships with others. I can see where rpg3 is coming from with his/her interpritation however, it doesn't completely fit.
