Fix You
International Classic Rock Orchestra 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
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
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 come streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears come streaming down your face
And I
Tears come streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes
Tears come streaming down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
The song Fix You by International Classic Rock Orchestra is a soulful ballad about a person who tries their hardest to achieve their goals but still fails, and ends up feeling lost and hopeless. The lyrics in the first stanza talk about how it feels when you work hard but still don't succeed, and when you get something you thought you wanted, but realize it's not what you need. The imagery of being "stuck in reverse" adds to the sense of being lost and unable to move forward.
The second stanza talks about the pain of losing something important and how that loss can be devastating. There's also mention of a failed relationship, which can be one of the most difficult types of loss to endure. The chorus reminds the listener that they are not alone, and that they will be guided home and their bones will be ignited by something greater than themselves. The lyrics also highlight the importance of trying, and how the fear of failure can keep us from realizing our full potential.
Overall, Fix You is a song about hope, perseverance, and finding the strength to keep moving forward even when everything feels hopeless. It's a message of love and support, encouraging the listener to trust that things will get better and that they can overcome whatever obstacles come their way.

Arbitrarily began looking for an orchestral cover of Fix You. This is definitely the best version I've found.
