Fix You (by ColdPlay)
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 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
The song has returned to me ever since I heard it on my pandora station the other day.
I remember I used to play this song alot earlier this year — it was strangely the song that I played when I felt that I was beginning to put my life together: when I started working at Corso, when I felt like I was not just passing through each day but was starting to make plans and think about what I want — the song comforted me. I used to cry when it started playing in the middle of the night, as I am struggling to keep up with them boring law school books. I think I was trying so hard to fix myself then and the song was like me talking to myself.
Hearing it again on the radio brought an errie feeling — a sense of relief, a sort of self-recognition of some sorts of rites of passage that I had experienced — and a sense of loss that the experience seems over. Or is it that I feel like I am once again feeling lost, feeling like I am losing sight of where I want my life to go? And even losing the courage and motivation to explore?
I don’t know.
