Just One Fix

Wow 13 comments, and not one about the meaning of this song.

It's about Al's legendary heroin addiction, in case anyone couldn't figure that out.

The days of Ministry? They released a new album this year you know, and in my eyes, they still rock. But i would say that the song 'Just one fix' and the album Psalm 69 is still the best album. :D

Yeh, don't discount ministry, just because they have faded from the spot light doesn't mean they aren't still doing great stuff.

And anyone that needs this song explained to them has issues :)

This is the Version he is singing LIVE all the time, could the record company have censored the song on Psalm 69? Anyway, we all know it´s about Al´s 18-year long relationship with Heroin and this is precisely what it sounds and looks like in the Video: The search for "Just One Fix" when he is just about to go into withdrawal..

Just One Fix: LIVE Version Lyrics(that makes the meaning a lot clearer):

Life keeps slipping away Silence of desperation Trying to find a highway in vein Couldn't find a destination Just One Fix Clock keeps ticking away Banging on the walls of damnation Organs keep grinding away Monkey is the only salvation Just One Fix Monkey starts driving the train Tries to take it out of the station Tried to find a highway in vein Monkey kills without hesitation Just One Fix

I remember the days of Ministry, back when I was still a teenager. I think they revolutionized alot music, and It's too bad they faded away, becaus I really enjoyed there music. When I was a teenager, Ministry's music was something new, and different. It was the music all the misfits listened to. Ministry was way ahead of it's time, and I dont think people were quite ready for there music. The style of there music is only now beggining to be realized. I see the influence they have on a lot of musicians. I can hear the influence.

Every time I've seen this lyrics on any website I read the line "Driving through New Orleans at night", but I'm pretty sure it's "Driving through the highway at night".

Any comments?

I'd have to agree with you Alieno, to me it's always sounded like "Driving through the highway at night". I haven't listened to every remix available, so I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure you're right.

yeah i third that...and my brain can't handle every remix even if i tryed..

I listened to this album dozens of times, and barely understood a third of what Al was saying, but the songs rock so hard I never cared I guess. It's cool to finally see some of these lyrics. But yeah, you can totally enjoy them all based on the riffs and the sound. Great album, great tune.

On the CD it sounds like "Driving through New Orleans at night", but if you watch the DVD Putas Madres he clearly says "Trying to find a highway in vain (vein?)". Then again, Al isn't one to stick to the rules, so he may just change it whenever he damn well feels like it.
