I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn’t matter if
I’m wrong I’m right
Where I belong I’m right
Where I belong
See the people standing there
Who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don’t get in my door
I’m painting the room in a colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
Ooh ooh ooh ah ah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
And it really doesn’t matter if
I’m wrong I’m right
Where I belong I’m right
Where I belong
Silly people run around
They worry me and never ask me
Why they don’t get past my door
I’m taking the time for a number of things
That weren’t important yesterday
And I still go
Ooh ooh ooh ah ah
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go oh
Where it will go oh
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
Where it will go
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
Exploring the Colors of the Mind
“Fixing A Hole” by The Beatles invites listeners into a world of introspection and creative liberation. The lyrics use the metaphor of repairing a leak to symbolize the process of mending distractions or worries that let negativity seep in. The act of “filling the cracks” and “painting the room” reflects a personal journey toward mental clarity, self-expression, and individuality. The singer acknowledges the presence of external judgment but remains unconcerned, focusing instead on nurturing an inner space where imagination can roam freely. This song encourages embracing one’s unique mindset while gently shutting out detractors who fail to understand.
