Fix This

Russ's song 'Fix This' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and mental struggles that many people face but often keep hidden. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with intense pain and confusion, seeking solace and relief. The repeated plea to 'fix this' directed towards his mother signifies a desperate cry for help, highlighting the universal need for support and understanding during tough times.

The song's narrative reveals a person who feels overwhelmed by their circumstances, to the point where sleep becomes the only escape from their pain. However, even sleep is elusive, plagued by nightmares that exacerbate the feeling of being trapped. This struggle is compounded by the societal pressure to maintain a facade of happiness and success, as illustrated by the line 'rock a fake smile.' The contrast between the external appearance of success, such as 'ballin in a penthouse,' and the internal chaos underscores the disconnect between how others perceive us and our true feelings.

Russ also touches on darker thoughts, including contemplating death, which underscores the severity of his mental state. The mention of the 'devil breathin down my neck' symbolizes the constant presence of negative thoughts and the battle against them. Despite showing happiness outwardly, the internal struggle remains, making the song a poignant commentary on the hidden battles many people face. 'Fix This' serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for genuine support and understanding from loved ones.
