Fix Me
Nicola Roberts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Fix me, kiss me, break me
Tear me apart
Hold me, love me, mend me
Give me your heart
Fix me, kiss me, break me
Tear me apart
Hold me, love me, mend me
Give me your heart)

How many roads did I
Walk down before I knew
I was lost and broken
They all lead straight to you
A pretty Frankenstein
That you taught how to smile
I'm coming undone
You've got got to make me new

I got my skin, got my bones
But I am barren of a soul
My arms stretched out before you

I am every broken girl
Living in a tainted world
You can put me back together
Won't you take me a home
You can fix me up
I am every broken girl
Caught up in a deadly world
You can put me back together
Give me a home
You can fix me up

Fix me, kiss me, break me
Tear me apart
Hold me, love me, mend me
Give me your heart

I try to talk to God
But I'm talking to myself
Through the silent echoes
You can hear my voice
The plasters and the pills
The stitches and the drills
Trade my clock for your heart
I'm not like other toys

I got my skin, got my bones
But I am barren of a soul
My arms stretched out before you

I am every broken girl
Living in a tainted world
You can put me back together
Won't you take me a home
You can fix me up
I am every broken girl
Caught up in a deadly world
You can put me back together
Give me a home
You can fix me up

Fix me up
Oh break me now
Oh you know how
Fix me up
I won't go back
I won't go back below

(Fix me, kiss me, break me
Tear me apart
Hold me, love me, mend me
Give me your heart
Fix me, kiss me, break me
Tear me apart
Hold me, love me, mend me
Give me your heart)





I'm coming home I'm coming home
I'm coming home so you can fix me up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song are about someone who feels broken and lost, and is seeking to be fixed and put back together. The chorus repeats the phrases "Fix me, kiss me, break me, tear me apart, hold me, love me, mend me, give me your heart," suggesting a desire for intense emotional connection and a willingness to endure pain or vulnerability in order to be healed. The verses describe the singer's sense of isolation ("How many roads did I / Walk down before I knew / I was lost and broken") and inner turmoil ("I try to talk to God / But I'm talking to myself / Through the silent echoes"), and suggest that the only solution is to be "fixed" by another person.


The image of a Frankenstein's monster is evoked in the lines "A pretty Frankenstein / That you taught how to smile," suggesting that the singer has been pieced together from various parts and needs someone else to breathe life into them. The repeated refrain of "I am every broken girl / Living in a tainted world" reinforces the idea that the singer's struggles are universal and involve larger societal or cultural issues. Ultimately, the song is a plea for help and connection, a recognition of personal brokenness and a hope for healing through love and intimacy.
