That we shoot across the sky
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
Get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
'Cause you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
What could be worse?
Vamos a cantar juntos, go
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you
Gracias a todos
This is for Tiffany, this song
My family
Oh, high up above or down below
When you are too in love to let it show
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth, no
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Don't stop, hey
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
Let's go, go
Lights will guide you home
Oh, and ignite your bones
(And I will try) to fix you
Gracias, todo el mundo
¿Todo el mundo listo?
¿Seguro?, ¿todo el mundo listo?
No puedo oír, no puedo oír
No lo sé, todavía esto no es...
¿Todo el mundo listo ahora?
¿Ahora?, ¿ahora?
Vamos, todos
About This Song
"Fix You" is Coldplay's deeply emotional ballad about unconditional love and the desire to heal someone who is fundamentally broken by life's disappointments. The song captures the profound helplessness of watching a loved one struggle with depression, failure, and existential despair-those moments when effort doesn't yield success and when achieving goals still leaves you empty. Chris Martin's lyrics explore the paradoxes of modern suffering: being exhausted yet unable to rest, loving deeply yet having that love rejected or wasted, feeling "stuck in reverse" when life should be moving forward. Musically, the track builds from intimate, whispered verses with minimal piano accompaniment to a soaring, anthemic climax featuring gospel-influenced organ and Martin's falsetto reaching toward transcendence. The production mirrors the emotional journey from quiet desperation to cathartic release, with the "lights will guide you home" refrain serving as both promise and prayer. The song resonated powerfully because it articulates the universal experience of wanting to rescue someone you love from their own darkness, while acknowledging the painful reality that some wounds can't be healed by another person. Its spiritual undertones-referencing bones being "ignited" and lights as divine guidance-tap into deeper questions about faith, redemption, and whether human connection can ultimately save us from ourselves. The track became an anthem for anyone who has ever felt the simultaneous burden and privilege of loving someone through their deepest struggles.
