There is also a recording of the show at Cleveland Music Hall in 1985, where the intro to this song goes like this:

- Okay. This song's all about being a gurlmmm...
- A girl?!
- Oh, god, sorry, did I say 'gurl'? This is called 'Push'!

Placebo – Lady Of The Flowers Lyrics 1 year ago
He is a man with gender dysphoria.
She is a woman that comes to him in his fantasies.

He wears her clothes and spends the afternoon masturbating (probably to a mirror image). This is an act of objectification.
- "He gets inside to stare at her"
(Cure - Push)

And it lasts for hous, it lasts for days... this masquerade, that he enjoys. And he's slowly realising that she's taking over.
She's the more vulnerable one, she's open with her emotions, hence "wearing tears on her blouse" as in "wear one's heart on one's sleeve".
She buries him deep behind the eye of her mind, taking the key and becoming the real frontman of their body and soul.

- "Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don't know"
(Smiths - Still Ill)

They were both confused and wrecked with self doubt, but the one with hypnotic gaze is winning. She's bigger than him.

- "Oh smear this man across the walls
Its the only way to be
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time"
(Cure - Push)

R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics 7 years ago
You are not like me.
What I will have to go through.
Is long past behind you.
Oh. No. I've said too much.
I set it up.

I am alone.
In the centre of your room.
But you're not here.
And I'm losing my affection.
Like you already did.
But I can't do it.
Inside I am still lit.
But there's no alarm to hit.

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try.

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing what's to say to you.
Trying to see if you still have your interest.
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool.
Wishing that you would have listened.
To my words of misery.

Consider this, consider this
The biggest hint that I could give.
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
They don't set it at ease.

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

I am alone.
In the centre of your room.
But you're not here.
And I'm losing my affection.
Like you already did.
But I can't do it.
Inside I am still lit.
But there's no alarm to hit.

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream, try, cry,
Why try to make you feel it?
This love has ain't no meaning
If you are cold
And I am not
You were all
I could hold
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
Dream
