Fixin'
Walk the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw, a glimpse, a shimmer, a shadow
Of something, I had once but since lost
And now I, I've got a feeling that I'm not complete anymore

Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side

It starts with a glimpse
A shimmer, a shadow
Of something, I had once but since lost
And now I, I've got a feeling that I'm not complete anymore

The salt in my eyes, as I clear the border
Imagining lines, shatter and shimmer
I get to you, to ask you a question
I get to you, to find out for certain
Are you fixin'?
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side

Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side
Just walk, by my side

Are you fixin', to come with me?
Are you fixin', to fix me, fix me?

Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side

Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going




Just walk, just walk, just walk, just walk, by my side
Just walk, by my side

Overall Meaning

Walk the Moon's song Fixin' appears to describe a sense of longing for something or someone that the singer has lost. The lyrics seem to point to a sense of incompleteness that the singer is experiencing, as though they are missing something crucial in their life. The song begins with the lines "I saw a glimpse, a shimmer, a shadow/ Of something, I had once but since lost," a clear indication that the singer had something important in their life at one point, but has now lost it or can no longer attain it. The lyrics then move on to describe a journey of sorts, as the singer searches for whatever it is that they are missing.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer repeating the lines "Don't even tell me where we are going/ Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes/ Just walk, just walk, by my side." This seems to suggest that the singer is willing to go anywhere or do anything in order to find what they are looking for, even if they are blind to the path ahead. The bridge of the song adds a sense of urgency, with the line "Are you fixin' to come with me?/ Are you fixin' to fix me, fix me?" This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it seems to suggest that the singer is looking for someone to accompany them on their journey or to help them find what they are missing.


Overall, the lyrics to Fixin' are ambiguous enough to be interpreted in a variety of ways, but they seem to point to a sense of incompleteness and longing that many people can relate to. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a memorable and enjoyable listen, even if the meaning behind the lyrics remains somewhat mysterious.

I saw, a glimpse, a shimmer, a shadow
Of something, I had once but since lost
And now I, I've got a feeling that I'm not complete anymore
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side
It starts with a glimpse
A shimmer, a shadow
Of something, I had once but since lost
And now I, I've got a feeling that I'm not complete anymore
The salt in my eyes, as I clear the border
Imagining lines, shatter and shimmer
I get to you, to ask you a question
I get to you, to find out for certain

Don't even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, just walk, just walk, by my side
