“Pushing On Through” grabs the listener’s attention at first listen because of the entire song’s essence, offering mounds of emotions. The power stems from strong words inspiring a sense of hope with the ability to push through, as well as touch upon feelings of grief and isolation. The piece serves as motivation for anyone who feels anywhere near helpless and is lacking the purpose to continue with the fight.

Finishing the first verse alone sets the scene of an arduous journey waiting to happen. We often come across lyrics that gracefully describe life, but that’s not the focal point here. For a change, HOLLOWREED captures pain which wears many people down, and instead of getting trapped in that suffering, strive to be better, and most importantly, look past the bitterness towards isolation. This range of emotions is expressed in the verse alone and stems from the urge to move on during the low points in life. Unlike with other songs, the song seems to supports and give proper guidance to pull out of suffering that most people tend to get lost in.

With the first word of the chorus, “Pushing On Through,” we are once again brought back to cloak of hope. With this line being the focal point, HOLLOWREED emphasizes the need to be resolute, fearless, and headstrong.

The chorus has such simple lyrics which makes the song the song astounding. It reminds everyone that no matter the circumstances, change is always achievable.

The new verse is about a new type of struggle, which is darkness and the search for light. The verses talk about chilling and dark nights which represent deep pangs of solitude. Still, HOLLOWREED makes a positive turn by reflecting on the idea that the “light” people have been searching for ever so desperately is actually within them. This is an important line to reflect upon because it shows that people are always in control of their fate, tough times or not. To take a breath and make a move is representative of how people must first learn to walk before they can run.

Giving the strongest quote of motivation increases the general sense of empowerment. The statement “we rise, we climb, we see it through,” calls for action and assertiveness. These words highlight one’s vision and confirm that there will always be a change for the better, thus, fighting one’s demons is ever desirable and can easily be attained.

The phrase “no stopping now” serves to motivate the listener even more by providing a sense of urgency, pushing them to keep going regardless of the situation. The elements “Ooh, ooh” in the song makes the listener feel emotionally attached to the song while also creating a memorable melodic element making the message even more impactful and memorable.
