Hi, what exactly is the song Delilah by the Cranberries about? As I understand it, the singer warns a competitor about taking away her lover and says that she might do her physical harm. Is that right? If so, why does she say ‘push me’? I mean, why would she ask her competitor to push her?[YSaerTTEW443543]
Ah-ha…I also tried to analyze the lyrics of the song when I first listened to it, Torsten. The whole wording of the song is a challenge to Delilah and the singer is definitely in a mood to kick up a fuss. So I suppose “push me” is to be taken in a literal sense so that a fight starts between the singer and Delilah.
