alt-J - Pusher Lyrics
If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Please wait by the line
And you know dispersive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism isn't broken by the light
It crashed through the ceiling on me
And pinned me to the pine
And layer upon layer of hope and doubt
Will crush bones to oil in time
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me
Passed over the blue
A five hour flock, not one dives down
To tell you the truth
As night falls, a quelea crawls
And whispers on his last wings:
So abundant are we, left alone I shall be
But a waited phone never rings
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna
We could hold hands for a pool length under water
I can push and pull
Her
If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Please wait by the line

alt-J Pusher Comments
The second the video started I was like “oh shit this is gunna be a slap”
This song gives me a vibe where I need a hug from someone I love
Teardrops. :(
I thought he was trying to peel his face off for a second
光頭跟著月亮走
In the end he lost to his demons..
Alt j please come to Ireland I'll buy 10 tickets..
We can hold hands for the pool length under water
The landscape looks like my Kyiw...
This wasn't what I was looking for-
I have this playlist on repeat: 10,000,000 views on the way
Oh no, I'm gonna cry again
This song is so elegant ugh idk how to explain how this band makes me feel it brings me back to a time when I was relaxed and happy arfdwyubdtyfrukgdtteeftrgfeugde
Looks like my Chinese PE class in the winter
Important lesson about finger pointing
"If you're willing to wait for the love of your life please wait by the line.."
Ah, damn that's haunting.
I love these guys.
But this song can go fuck itself.
It’s so sympathetic and weak.
In the land of the skin-heads, a man with hair is Fuhrer. Oh, Allied tanks are coming. Suicide.
“As night falls, a quelea crawls
And whispers on his last wings,
So abundant are we,
Left alone I shall be, but a waited phone never rings.”
That is the most lonely verse I have ever heard. I wanted this tattooed on me since hearing this song.
Alt J is a band that gives a durable bandaid and then rubs some battery acid in the other wounds.
Talented band! ❤️
such amazing music!!!!

If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Please wait by the line
And you know dispersive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism isn't broken by the light
The idea of life without company fell suddenly
It crashed through the ceiling on me
And pinned me to the pine
And layer upon layer of hope and doubt
Will crush bones to oil in time
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me
A canopy of red-billed quelea
Passed over the blue
A five hour flock, not one dives down
To tell you the truth
As night falls, a quelea crawls
And whispers on his last wings
So abundant are we, left alone I shall be
But a waited phone never rings
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
I pull the weight towards me
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Unless I have a woman pushing me
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna
We could hold hands for a pool length under water
I can push and pull

I don't know why, but the first thing that comes to my head is the sex positions (top-bottom) of a gay couple.
Just a powerful and beautiful clip. I haven't see a clip as original as this
merde, merde!
Someone please tell me what the chords are for this song 😥
that was terrifying
listening to alt j with a head full of acid is one of the most beautiful experiences i have ever had
Let the annual meeting of Observers commence
rip thomas rhazi, the director of this magical video :(
YO DID HE JUST BREAK HIS NECK O MI GOD
If you're willing to wait for the love of your life

I can't listen to this song without the scream, it's just not the same
To have a real voice just to land upon deaf ears is a sad thing. Think of all those with such a voice, lost to lonliness and the ignorance of others.

Thanks alt-J
Love Alt+j music but for a non English speaker it’s hard for me to make sense out of their songs
As a native English speaker they're hard for me to understand, lol.
i get fucking chills everytime i see this
I'm not sure what the clip means, but the man yells in French things like "violence and murder" or "We can't do anything". I'm perplexed.
Here's what I could hear behing the song :
"You deserve no misericord"
"We ... Perjury ! We live in violence, we commit murder after murder !"
this music video gave me a whole new meaning to this song.
is it only me or at some point the man with the hair yells at the bald man: "are you a pusher or are you a puller?"
is it only me or at some points the man with the hair yells at the bald "are you a pusher or are you a puller?"
who cryin in March?
Did anybody else notice if you pause the video at 1:39 there's a dead guy.
I think he did the same thing as the other guy and also died.

Thank you Victoria
△ HEADS UP ALT-J FANS △
Is Alt-J your favorite band ever? Would you like to test how well you know their music? Would you also like to get one free ticket for Alt J’s concert in Paris in January 11th, 2018? (I just got two tickets for my birthday and none of my friends love Alt-J enough to deserve to go with me)
Well if you’re interested in any of that, you can try to resolve this enigma. Find the videos and put the numbers in the right order following the clues. The clue for the very first song is: Trained to kill…
Be warned, beloved Alt-J fans ! You’ll be tested on how well you know the band…
The songs for finding the numbers are all from Alt-J’s official channel or the most viewed ones if not in the channel, except for one. If you know Alt-J enough, you’ll understand when you read the clue in question…
Pusher
This song’s attached number is: 6

This man needs an award
Schlecht!
What he says, many people already retranscripted - but from the few words people found... this all comes from Louis Segond translation of Hosea 4 (Bible), which in the official english translation is "here is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.".
But if you literally translates from what the man yells, it is more like ; "...because there is no truth, *no mercy, no knowledge of God in this country* . There is only *perjuries* and lies, assassination, thefts and adultery; *we use violence, committing murder after murder* ."
[What is accentuated is what we actually hear him saying ; I preferred making a translation of "on use de la violence" by "we use violence" because it fits better in the context. "On" is impossible to translate in english. This is a mix between "they" and "we", which includes everyone, while in the biblic text, meaning only "they".]
WHY DOES I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS BAND BEFORE?? WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
This video is so heartbreaking but mesmerizing
..like Alt-J's music 😁
We are either pushers or pullers in one relationship or another. This changes as time passes too. Loss of love and loneliness are amplified when we realize this and dwell in the past. Its always hard to move on because we are emotional beings.
seeing them in November !! can;t wait
One of their best songs!
I'm no video analyst, but does the fact that none of them seem to be looking directly at him have any meaning?
0:51 dusting off something you're going to stand on with your shoes. fuck logic.
A frustrated public speaker with nothing to say. These songs and videos are more than different. Daring.
Me encanto :0
Kto od Naruciaka?
i can feel this guys pain without having to know what is actually happening. alt j is absolute magic
does anyone know what the make and model of the car in the video is?
Procuro alguém que ame essa música tanto quanto eu
Como não gostar?
Só pra vc escutar novamente rsr.
Another demonic ritual people who support this band just know you are living listening to devil's words. If you are ok with that and have no REAL faith then please go ahead and watch these illegitimate videos... Please all I would ask is for you to educate yourself. I am not saying Alt J's band members are necessarily 'evil' but they are driven by a force of evil that is for sure! Understand the meaning of this song and video, educate yourselves don't be blind sheep!
East or West.....Alt-J is the best❤❤
Alt-J forever ❤
Libertador, alt-j <3
Did they sample the chorus? I don't think they did but this girl swears it's a song from the 90s
It's not an alt j video if no one dies.
Si vous êtes prêt à attendre pour l'amour de votre vie
S'il vous plaît attendez derrière la ligne
Et vous connaissez les prismes qui séparent la lumière en arc-en-ciels
Mais mon optimisme naturel n'est pas brisé par la lumière
L'idée de la vie sans compagnie s'est soudainement effondrée
Elle s'est écrasée sur moi à travers le plafond
Et m'a cloué de désir
Et des couches et des couches d'espoir et de doute
Vont broyer des os à l'huile dans le temps
Êtes-vous un pousseur ou êtes-vous un tireur?
Je tire le poids vers moi
Et il me manque le zeste d'un citron, et j'ai hâte
À moins d'avoir une femme qui me pousse
Une canopée de quéléas à bec rouge
Passé sur le bleu
Un vol de cinq heures, pas un seul ne plonge
Pour te dire la vérité
Comme la nuit tombe, un quéléa rampe
Et chuchote sur ses dernières ailes
Si abondant nous sommes, laissé seul je serai
Mais un téléphone ne sonne jamais lorsqu'on l'attend
Êtes-vous un pousseur ou êtes-vous un tireur?
Je tire le poids vers moi
Et il me manque le zeste d'un citron, et j'ai hâte
À moins d'avoir une femme qui me pousse
Êtes-vous un pousseur ou êtes-vous un tireur?
Nous pourrions nous tenir la main pendant quinze minutes dans le sauna
Nous pourrions nous tenir la main pour une longueur de piscine sous l'eau
Je peux pousser et tirer
Elle
Si vous êtes prêt à attendre pour l'amour de votre vie
S'il vous plaît attendez derrière la ligne

un français peut expliquer les paroles ?
what's pusher and puller?
This is the same location as in Fitzpleasure, right?
there is something about this video that just i love and pulls me
I Love Alt-J
that actor really needs some type of recognition
Pourquoi l'homme fait-il le discourt en français ? Même si ce n'est pas la première fois que alt-j utilise cette langue cela m'intrigue... dans tout les cas c'est vraiment un groupe que j'adore et cette chanson est juste magnifique !!!!

Does the fact that he pulls hair out of his head have something to do with the bald men?
I don't think it's possible to break your own neck in that fashion. Well, it may be possible but certainly not likely.
the bald "people" are trump supporters and nazis and the man in the center is a proud feminist trying to tell the world about the hardships women face everyday at the hands of the patriarchy, but none of them are truly listening.
all I could think of looking at that guy was Hitler
"La vérité, point de miséricorde... On commet meurtre après meurtre..."
Sooo...the guy was upset because he wasn't bald? That seems like a solvable problem...
can someone make a version of this vid but with captions telling me what the fuck that guys is saying
im just curious
