The Palms - Push Off

POND: The song “Push Off” seems to be full of some pretty insightful lyrics about being played with. What was the inspiration for this song?

BEN: The EP was pretty much written during a very interesting period for both of us. It was a transitional phase from a horrible label situation. It was our first taste of the dark side of the music world so to speak. We learned how disgusting and evil people could be. So it was our reaction to everything we had gone through. We’re always trying to dig deep and express ourselves with some anger or whatever emotion we’re feeling from those events. But it’s mostly about forging through the tough times. Everyone goes through his or her own difficult things. The core message is resilience and hope. We don’t wanna let people stop us from what we want to do. That’s our biggest pet peeve, people getting in our lives when they really don’t care much as to how it effects us.

My world, my God
If you're going make it
Then it's time that I speak my mind
You can't take that away - away
So are you going to use me now?
Well you're a motherfucker
Take this, take that, I can take it
But I might just lose my mind
Or my shirt anyway

And if it all came crashing down
Just know that it won't bring me down - well

Put me on the front lines
As you're sitting on the sidelines
Don't think you can play with my mind
'Cause that's all mine
While you're slippin' sideways
I've been making my own way
Don't think I'll waste no more time
'Cause that's all mine

'Cause you're a push off
Go on push off

Take this, fake that, if you want to make it
Now it's time that I speak my mind
You can't take that away
And if it all came crashing down
Just know that it comes back around - well

Put me on the front lines
As you're sitting on the sidelines
Don't think you can play with my mind
'Cause that's all mine
While you're slippin' sideways
I've been making my own way
Don't think I'll waste no more time
'Cause that's all mine

'Cause you're a push off
A little push off
Go on, push off

Put me on the front lines
As you're sitting on the sidelines
Don't think you can play with my mind
'Cause that's all mine
While you've been slippin' sideways
I've been making my way
Don't think I'll waste no more time
'Cause that's all mine
Play with my mind
