Not Overly Feeling Like Writing

I suffer from what's commonly known as a "Hero Complex." I wrote about how much of a pain in the ass it is to live with WAAAAAY back in my MySpace blogging days.

Long story short, I have an obsession to be THE guy that gets things done, the one people look to, the one who's know to be reliable. It drives to places where I feel trapped, unable to fix all the problems I see around me, and unable to accept that they won't be taken care of. I tend to feel guilty when it's (whatever it is) not done, terribly guilty. Painfully so.

I'm endeavoring to change this. Part of my "Be Selfish" program.

But, in thinking about this, I think I understand why I like this song so much.

The Fixer

Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there's no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
