Story Behind The Song
In the vein of weekend party anthems, this pop rock song was inspired by the desire to escape the realities of everyday stress. The day job, problems with the wife, the bills, and the stress that faces each of us every morning of everyday: These sources of frustration often lead to and warrant drug and alcohol abuse. And although, these fixes are temporary and are effective only in so far as deferring conscious awareness of the issues manifest, they are the popular solution of choice. This song is a tribute to those temporary fixes.
Song Description
This up-beat contemporary pop song is about escaping the everyday stresses of life through music and partying. A relatively relaxed chorus features intricate guitar and piano melodies under smooth lead vocals. Tension is built in the verses with over-driven guitars and exciting drum fills. The lead and harmony vocals in the second verse climax into an instrumental bridge setting up the interlude. The song ends with a captivating electric guitar lead.

Lyrics
I need a temporary fix
A way to lose control just for kicks
Give me my temporary fix
Take my mind and my body
Away from all the pain of this reality
I need a temporary fix
A way to deal with all the heartaches
Give me my temporary fix
Take my mind and my body
Away from all the pain of this reality
How far away can you push
The things that haunt you the most
Let?s leave all these things behind
And rock the T- dot all night
I need a temporary fix
A way to lose control just for kicks
Give me a temporary fix
Take my mind and my body
Away from all the pain of this reality
I need a temporary fix
A way to deal with all the heartaches
Give me my temporary fix
Take my mind and my body
Away from all the pain of this reality
Incessant drama prevails
The stress is making me pale
It?s like I?m barely alive
Until the weekend arrives
Sometimes life can seem so unfair
When all your dreams linger out of reach
So many times I?ve felt the grips of despair
And yet the reasons remain unclear
The only comfort is the crash of the drums
That blissful rush from your head to your feet
For one moment I escape all the pain
Cause it?s my temporary fix
Give me my fix
