Fixing My Brain
Brad Sucks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filling up on notes and dollar bills
It's the price you pay for feeling okay
You're the strangest girl I've ever met
Sending weird signals to my head
I've been thinking about fixing my brain
But I'm afraid I won't feel the same
'Cause baby it's all I do
I've been thinking about fixing my brain
But I'm afraid I won't feel the same
'Cause baby it's all I do
Spending more and more time up in bed
Thinking â??bout the things I think you said
It's been on my mind and it's hard to find
Bad habits come and come and go
I'm afraid my mind is getting slow
I swear it's not so hard to understand
I just wanna get in the sun again sun again
I swear it's not so hard to understand
I just wanna get in the sun again sun again
In "Fixing My Brain," Brad Sucks explores the experience of mental health struggles and the ways in which people cope with them. The first verse presents a bleak picture of the traditional methods of treating mental illness: being locked up in a "rubber room" and being medicated with "funny pills." The chorus then introduces the idea of "fixing" the brain, but the singer is hesitant to pursue this option because they fear losing who they are as a person. The second verse delves deeper into the singer's thoughts and actions, such as spending more time in bed and obsessing over things said by someone else. The final lines express a simple desire to feel normal again and to be able to enjoy the sun, which is a common symbol for happiness and warmth.
Overall, "Fixing My Brain" is a poignant exploration of the emotional weight of mental health difficulties and the quest to find stability without sacrificing one's sense of self. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their own mental illness and is hesitant to try any potential solutions because of the fear that they may not be the same person after going through treatments.

First heard this track on a German Kayaking video. Tracked it down. Trippy melody and worked fine in the video.
