Having a restless mind or being unable to relax can be exhausting.įeeling trapped, unable to move forward or progress. When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Sometimes what we think we need isn't actually what we need. When you get what you want but not what you need When you try your best but you don't succeedĭespite giving your all, you still fall short of your goal. The final repeated chorus delivers a sense of hope and reassurance that they will be fixed no matter what hardship comes their way. The pre-chorus reassures and inspires the listener to take that leap of faith, as inaction could lead to self-doubt and anxiety. The line, "When you love someone but it goes to waste/ Could it be worse?" hints at the unbearable pain of heartbreak, yet it suggests that there may be worse things that people can go through. The second verse describes the pain of losing someone or something significant, an experience that everyone can relate to. The last lines of the chorus repeated twice emphasize the singer’s promise to fix it all, whatever the problem may be. The wordplay "ignite your bones" is a powerful imagery to suggest that his love and support will reignite the individual's passion for life. The lines "Lights will guide you home/ And ignite your bones/ And I will try to fix you" conveys a message of hope, promising that the light will guide them home even when they feel lost. In the chorus, the singer promises to be a support system for someone who is struggling. The song takes a deeper and more complex turn as it moves into the chorus. The lyrics, "When you try your best but you don't succeed/ When you get what you want but not what you need" convey the idea of being stuck in a rut, unable to move forward despite all efforts. The song's opening lines express the feeling of hopelessness that one gets when they've tried their best, but still can't move forward in their life. I think in the interest of giving each song it’s time in the sun, as well as building a relationship with the audience, a season of singles can be a really creative and engaging way to go."Canyon City's Fix You" is a heart-wrenching ballad that is full of powerful emotions, sung with a stunning falsetto voice. “It’s a bit more of a real-time evolution of the artist in doses that play out like an ongoing conversation. “The singles approach gives me a little more well-rounded day-to-day creative process in that I’m simultaneously tinkering with writing, production and sharing with the audience as opposed to may past routine of taking six months to write, six months to record and then a few months to refresh and restart.”įurthermore, he has found the new routine to be quite “mentally refreshing,” too. “Feeling like that trilogy was complete, I wanted to try a new way of creating and sharing as I move forward,” he said. In the aftermath of his third album, Bluebird, Johnson witnessed his creativity drastically shift. “Irises” is the latest in a string of singles this year. “Hear me out / Did you know that snowflake’s designed like none / Other and your irises’ lines are spun / Alone in yellow color,” he sings. Under four minutes, “Irises” appears to fill the entire expanse of both time and space.
