“Fix Yourself is another ‘fuck you’ song, you know, it’s the anti ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay. Why would somebody want to fix someone else? Therapists make livings out of it, parents want to fix their children, want to mold their children into their own image or an image of what they think is worthwhile. Society tries to make you conform morally and ethically to whatever is accepted as being moral and ethical during that day or that period of history.
The most powerful line for me in Fix Yourself is ‘I’m bored of your Caucasian Jesus.’ I’m bored of the hypocrisy, I’m bored of the bullshit, I’m bored of the lies. I’m bored of people who are as fucked up as I am, making a living fixing other people, I’m like ‘physician, heal thyself, fix yourself first’, instead of walking around, trying to tell everybody else what to feel, how to feel, who to be, what’s right, what’s wrong, what’s moral, what’s immoral. Bullshit! I call bullshit on it all. Just bourgeois societal mores that we all kind of aspire to so that we don’t have to think. I’m bored of it, and that’s what I’m expressing in this song. And for me, it was kind of that was sort of the perfect way to end the record.” – Brian Molko
