Simple Fix
Aimee Mann's 'Simple Fix': Escaping Repetitive Mistakes
Lyrics
Here we go again, around and round
Expressing a sense of repetition and cyclical nature in a situation or relationship.
Here we go again, around and round
Reiteration of the cyclical nature, emphasizing the recurring pattern.
We're babies passing for adults
Describing individuals who appear mature but are still inexperienced or immature.
Who've loaded up their catapults
Metaphorically referring to actions or decisions that can cause harm, likened to loading a catapult.
And can't believe the end results
Expressing disbelief at the negative outcomes resulting from the loaded actions or decisions.
So here we go again
Repeating the idea of the cyclical nature of the situation.
Here we go again, it's obvious
Highlighting the obvious nature of the recurring pattern.
Here we go again, the two of us
Acknowledging the repetition and negative pattern within the relationship.
We've just become our worst mistakes
Admitting that both individuals have become each other's worst mistakes.
The rattles of two rattlesnakes
Using rattlesnakes metaphorically to represent the unsettling and dangerous aspects of the relationship.
The antidote that no one takes
Referring to a solution or remedy that is not taken or applied.
So here we go again
Reiteration of the repetitive nature of the problematic relationship.
But let's call a spade a spade
Suggesting honesty in facing the truth of the situation.
I'm going nowhere
Expressing a feeling of stagnation and lack of progress.
I'm stuck in this hole, afraid to make a move
Feeling trapped and hesitant to take action.
So once more around the track, another lap
Metaphorically describing the repetitive nature of the situation as going around a track.
And I think I can get it back, to where we prove:
Expressing a desire to return to a better state or resolve the issues.
There's a simple fix for the wrong mix
Suggesting that there is a straightforward solution to the problems in the relationship.
It's a simple fix for the wrong mix
Repeating the idea that there is a simple remedy for the issues.
Here we go again, back to the well
Indicating a return to a familiar situation or problem.
Here we go although we both can tell
Acknowledging awareness of the recurring issue.
We're just campaigning for the win
Describing the relationship as a campaign for victory, possibly in a negative or harmful way.
The prizes of adrenaline
Referring to the rewards or excitement gained from engaging in risky behavior.
We act it out, so it stays in
Acting out the negative aspects of the relationship to keep them present.
So here we go again
Reiterating the repetition in the problematic relationship.
But let's call a spade a spade
Encouraging straightforward honesty about the situation.
I'm going nowhere
Expressing a sense of being stuck and making no progress.
I'm stuck in this hole, afraid to make a move
Feeling trapped and fearful of taking action.
So once more around the track, another lap
Metaphorically describing the repetition of the situation as going around a track.
And I think I can get it back, to where we prove:
Expressing hope of returning to a better state or resolving the issues.
There's a simple fix for the wrong mix
Reiterating the belief that there is a simple solution for the problems in the relationship.
It's a simple fix for the wrong mix
Repeating the idea that there is a simple remedy for the issues.
