I was wondering what the meaning of Fix You was. And yes, i'm actually posting...i tend to lurk without logging it lol. But erm, here's the lyrics. Thanks for any help with this one

 

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

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 on 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

I think it was a song written either for Gwen or Apple

Artists probe pretty deep into subconscious and conscious mind as thoughts wander in and out. Sounds like serious church music in the beginning.. I think it's about a common person's failings in life - and the loss friends feel when this person dies. And, perhaps, a message about the potential we all have; that we need to rise above our failings, and take energy from the enthusiasm of the music of this song, so we might some day make something of our lives.

And I think, a reference to the spirititual plane, and it's connection to light, and the image often projected as heaven - sunlight streaming down from a break in a cloud. (and the funeral pyre?).

I often thought about the suffering of victims of Chernobyl's disaster - lights from electricity made from Nuclear fuel; and the effects of invisible radiation ("light") on the bones of those who suffered . And modern medicine and remediation will try and fix those afflicted, for generations to come.. Maybe this is woven into the song's fabric as well??

I believe it was written for Gywneth when her father passed away.

 

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

 

 

it's about losing virginity

:laugh3::laugh3:

 

p.s: this song always makes me cheesy :embarassed:

i think it's mainly about a lost love who has died before he could do anything about it. perhaps its written for gwyneths father, but i think its more hypothetical.

Dude Chris himself has said it many times... he wrote it for gwyn after her dad died...
