Fix You
Instrumental Chillout Lounge Music Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
The lyrics of "Fix You" by Instrumental Chillout Lounge Music Club are about being there for someone when they are going through a difficult time. The singer starts by acknowledging that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things don't always work out the way you planned - you might get what you want, but not what you need. This can leave you feeling exhausted and stuck, as though you're going backwards. The chorus of the song is an offer of support, with the singer telling the listener that they will do their best to "fix" them - to help them find their way back to a happier place.
The second verse speaks directly to someone who is experiencing heartbreak. It can be devastating to lose someone you care about, especially if you feel like you could never replace them. However, the singer offers a glimmer of hope - even though it feels like things couldn't possibly get any worse, they will be there to help. The bridge of the song emphasizes the importance of taking chances and trying new things, even if it's scary - you never know what you might be capable of. Ultimately, the song is about the power of friendship and empathy, and the ability to help someone in need.
