English term or phrase: push the limits
On our planet there are infinite worlds
Why live in just one when you can immerse yourself in the richness of others
Worlds that will break your heart
Worlds that will put it back together
Within each one there are stories that push the limits

dão asas à sua imaginação / lhe tiram da sua zona de conforto


Explanation:
Penso que há duas possibilidades de interpretação:

1) literal: tirar alguém da zona de conforto. V. explicação da internatura Viola Ash: https://www.quora.com/What-do-people-mean-when-they-say-Push...

2) figurada: dar asas à imaginação. O texto se refere a um planeta com "palavras infinitas" e a um "(mergulho) na riqueza de outros mundos" (em vez de cada um viver apenas no seu mundinho). As histórias têm esse poder mágico de nos tirar do lugar-comum, da nossa zona de conforto (sentido literal) para nos transportar ao mundo (ou melhor, mundos) da imaginação.

Adendo:
O verbo "tirar" é transitivo direto, o que significa que o pronome "lhe" está incorreto. Desculpe a confusão. Os pronomes corretos, neste caso, são "o" (ele), "a" (ela), ou "você" (pronome de tratamento). Penso que "você" é o que soa mais eufônico e natural em PT-Br: tiram você da sua zona de conforto.
