Mastodon - Pushing The Tides Lyrics

Mastodon Lyrics

"Pushing The Tides"

I think I'm ready to start
I thought I heard you scream
We're all part of this fucked up devastation
(Go!)
Always spinning the wheels
A greater vision in sight
It's not failure if you're trying

Another prick of a thorn
The body reaches deep
As I choke the situation
Seeming clever and wise
Clouded beyond the dark cells
I know not what drips inside me

Pushing the tides
Trying not to go down and taken under
Pushing the tides
Try to keep my head above the water

(Go!)
You try untying the weight
And you continue to breathe
I remove you for protection
And where to go from here
A place you value the most
Such a brilliant realization

Pushing the tides
Trying not to go down and taken under
Pushing the tides
Try to keep my head above the water
Pushing the tides
Leading us to prevail
And all we desire
Pushing the tides
With every ounce of strength I have

"Pushing The Tides" is the first single from Mastodon's ninth studio album, "Hushed And Grim". The song was premiered on September 9, 2021, accompanied by a music video. Drummer Brann Dailor explained Apple Music the following about the track, "The first riff reminds me of early AmRep stuff like Chokebore, Guzzard, or early-'90s Barkmarket maybe. There's some prog influence there, some Killing Joke—all that stuff we're into, being kids of the '90s. We sort of came from that whole scene of underground, mathy stuff that was below the upper echelons of grunge. So it's cool when that stuff pops up. It's a fun song with a big chorus."
