about
After looking for an intriguing theme, I remembered a particular X-Files episode, in which a man possessed the ability to 'Push' his victims into doing certain acts, etc. Having also recently watched some movies with different takes on the idea of what a 'Pusher' is, or might be, I was inspired. The meaning that I take away from this song is that there are always two powers at play, when confronted by another, or having to confront someone. The most successful of the two minds is obviously the victor of whatever outcome, however, the possibility is there for either the offensive or the defensive position to be found standing in the end. It is all on how you perceive it and what the approach may be. Either way, you have to make a move and thrust forward.
lyrics
The power of suggestion one shouldn't underestimate, (Pusher) has his way when he can look you in the eyes with a calm intent to manipulate, (Oshu) With a drive that is relentless he has force, bending wills to provocate, Unwittingly mesmerized by cloaked, malicious hate, (Pusher) knows that in the art of war you eighty-six the fear of death, yourself, then bet, (Oshu) The opposition has to make a move and choose, whether or not it's time to win or lose, Just a simple twist of fate, each one thinks he'll win the game, You had to push it over the edge, call the bluff and take a chance, over the edge, watch us as we dance, (Pusher) I thrust, I can't see what the outcome will even be, but I know I'll take my chance, this I must to see the end, Over the edge now and I'm looking under my feet and brace for impact, (Pusher) I will thrust.
