Push from Purple Pyramids by Nathaniel Star

'Push' by Nathaniel Star is a power ballad about perseverance and self-belief. The song speaks to the struggle of fighting for what you believe in, even when the odds are stacked against you. It draws attention to the unseen scars beneath a person's 'armor', showing that people often endure battles that others are unaware of. The lyrics encourage listeners to 'push' on, regardless of the challenges or discouragements they face. The song is also a metaphorical commentary on the sacrifices leaders make, with the world often only seeing their victories and not the struggles endured.

Lyrics

You don't always win the battle
But you lose everyone you don't fight for
Don't confuse it with survival
Cause the illusion is always keeping score

Push
All you gotta do is
Push
All you gotta do is
Push
Keep on believing in yourself, and
Push
All you gotta do is
Push
Don't get discouraged
Push
We all are pulling for you
But you must push

When you finally slay the dragon
The whole kingdom surrounds you
Down on one knee
They're so thankful you saved them
But the scars under your armor
They'll never see

Push
They don't know how hard it was for you
Push
They don't know just what you had to do to
Push
They'll never understand the way you will sacrifice your life for them
Just, push
I gave my people everything
Push
Now the world marvels at your King
Push
