Overload (album)/Fixxxer

These are the lyrics to Fixxxer, a song originally released on American heavy metal band Metallica's "ReLoad" album in 1997. The song is about God not wanting to heal those he pins holes into, and how one in a family wants God to heal them to no avail. On the album Overload, the superstar continues having the painful memories they faced in Where the Wild Things Are and is remembering how hard their life was while trapped in their mental hospital prison.

Lyrics
'' Yeah... Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins One for each of us and our sin

So you lay us in a line Push your pins, they make us humble Only you can tell, in time, If we fall or merely stumble

But tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or fix this hole in a mother's son? Can you heal the broken worlds within? Can you strip away, so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or cut this rope and let us run? Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free, You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

Yeah... Mirror, mirror upon thy wall Break this spell or become the doll

See you sharpening the pins So the holes will remind us, We're just the toys in the hands of another And in time the needles turn from shine to rust

But tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or fix this hole in a mother's son? Can you heal the broken worlds within? Can you strip away, so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or cut this rope and let us run? Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free, Jab another pin, jab another pin in me... Jab it... ("Here come the pins")

Blood for face, sweat for dirt Three X's for the stone To break this curse, a ritual's due I believe I'm not alone

Shell of shotgun, pint of gin Numb us up to shield the pins Renew our faith which way we can To fall in love with life again

To fall in love with life again To fall in love with life again To fall in love, to fall in love To fall in love with life again

So tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or fix this hole in a mother's son? Can you heal the broken worlds within? Can you strip away, so we may start again?

Yeah, tell me, can you heal what father's done, Or cut this rope and let us run? Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free, Jab another pin, jab another pin in me Yeah-eh-eh-h'eah

No more pins in me, yeah No more, no more pins in me No more, no more pins in me No more, no more, no more No, no, no! ''
