Fix
The Start Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm no good
Do you want me to be?
I'm not new
I have never been clean
I need you to purify my endless sin
Wash away the poison
Buried in this skin
I learned the hard way
I couldn't do it my way

You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this mess I'm in

No control
Keep repeating the lie
One more time
I could never deny
It seems as if these limbs belong to someone else
If I could only keep this all inside myself

This'll be the last time
It's what I said the last time

you're no good
you're not new,
you have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this mess I'm in

My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you

My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you

My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats for you

My heart, it beats so hard
It beats so hard
It beats so hard

You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been
I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this
You're no good
You're not new,
You have never been




I need you, oh yeah
I need you to fix this mess I'm in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Start's song "Fix" speak to the struggle of addiction and the need for help to overcome it. The singer acknowledges their own faults and flaws, stating that they are "no good" and not new, indicating a sense of hopelessness and weariness that comes from living with an addiction. However, despite this despair, they ask for help, saying that they need someone to "purify [their] endless sin" and "fix this mess [they're] in."


The chorus repeats the refrain that the singer is not good and not new, and that they need someone else to fix the situation. The repetition of this phrase serves to emphasize the singer's sense of powerlessness and inability to overcome their addiction on their own.


The second half of the song focuses on the physical and emotional toll that addiction takes on a person. The singer talks about their lack of control and their need to keep repeating the same behaviors, despite knowing that they're harmful. They also express a sense of disconnect from their own body, saying that their limbs "belong to someone else" and that they wish they could keep everything inside themselves.


Throughout the song, there's a sense of desperation and yearning for help, both from the "fixer" that the singer is addressing and from within themselves. The repeated refrain of "my heart beats so hard, it beats for you" suggests a deep emotional connection to the person who is helping them, and underscores the vulnerable position that the singer finds themselves in.

This is a great example of someone who never quit and for the amount of success you have had man .. centered mentally , and still have that drive. Appreciate what you do

Best remark is 30-45 min is all you need.!
But an intense 45 min ..
When I would strength train , the best sessions were if you had only 30 or 20 mins til closing or had an appt. You had to get to .
You don't stop really except to change weights ..
That's motivation in itself when you want to skip a day ....
Think it's only 30 effing mins...
Then add some adversity as in a divorce etc
Adversity will test a man or woman.. you find that inner dog.I.
Using that to become a better version of you ....
Stay strong .

Really can relate to this. I was a real bad drug addict, no job, no girlfriend and just a fucking waste of air. Tried to commit suicide, it was bad.


Coming towards my second year off the hard stuff, I still drink on a rare occasion at a party or whatever but its completely in control. Drugs also very much in control now just on a very rare occasion in comparison. But I allow it because of how horrendous my life was before.
Held the same job for over 6 months. Got an amazing girlfriend who actually gives a shit about me and my future so I give her the same back.


My point is I really agree with Joe when he says if you have a dream or goal, write it down, pretend you are the loser stage of your own movie then make it better. It worked for me. I thought I would be dead by now.


Thanks for reading.

I was addicted and lost my driving license cuz of it, I got it back 2 years later, for next year i was struggling to quit weed
Now I'm clean for 4 months
Now I'm trying to get my life together
Now I'm trying to improve myself to be a better person
Now I understand my bad choices
Now im in the process to get my driving license for big trucks
Now I'm trying do go to the gym and work with my body
The thing is people can change once they understand their mistakes
Everyone can be a better person, you just need to take one small step, and then another
You will not even see when these steps will make you better
I wish you all luck
We will do this!

Also another huge underrated thing that gets overlooked: Do NOT tell people what you're about to do. Tell them once you accomplish it. Otherwise, you are taking credit and satisfaction before you even start.

Twix

This is actually 100% incorrect and goes against the grain of what social psychologists have found to be true time and time again. Statistically speaking, people who tell their friends / family about their goals e.g. “I’m going to lose 10 lbs this month” feel accountable, like they have an obligation to not disappoint them. The statistics show a clear discrepancy in favour of people setting milestones & telling their loved ones about them.

Jerry Angel

Put always felt so good to tell my family and friends what I wanted to do and I used to think that it felt so good because I actually wanted to do it until I realized I wasn’t actually doing sh**, this is a fact . It will give you a similar satisfaction to being able to tell your fanily what you accomplished especially when people support you for it and hype you up about it . Stay quiet and surprise everyone and yourself! Be the hero in your movie!

kickwagon

100% agree.

I don't know about that I've had the opposite experience

Basically once I set out to do something and I start asking around how to do it do it I succeeded

Every time I didn't do that I failed
