Song meaning of Pushing It Down and Praying by Lizzy McAlpine

Hey there, music lovers! Today, I wanna chat with y'all about a song that really hit me in the feels - "Pushing It Down and Praying" by Lizzy McAlpine. Let me tell ya, this song is like a punch in the gut, but in a good way, ya know?

So, the lyrics start off with Lizzy in bed, feeling vulnerable and exposed. She's with someone, but her mind is somewhere else. She's praying that the person she's with can't see the turmoil inside her. It's like she's trying to hide her true feelings, pushing them down deep inside.

Then, there's this part in the chorus where Lizzy sings, "I wanna feel guilty, I wanna feel that it's wrong." Man, that line really got to me. It's like she's craving that intensity, that conflict, even though she knows it's not right. She wants to feel something, anything, to break free from the numbness.

And then, in the bridge, she talks about the contrast between the two people in her life - one stable, the other deep. It's like she's torn between what's safe and what's exciting, what's familiar and what's unknown. She knows how to get what she needs from each of them, but she's still searching for something more.

The song ends with Lizzy admitting that she's pushing down her emotions and praying that nobody sees the turmoil within her. It's a raw and honest portrayal of inner conflict and the struggle to keep up appearances.

Listening to "Pushing It Down and Praying" made me reflect on my own experiences of hiding my true feelings and putting on a brave face. It's a reminder that sometimes, we bury our emotions deep inside, hoping that nobody will notice the chaos within us.
