Fits may mean:
Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, singer-songwriter, electric guitarist, recording engineer, record producer and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, orchestral and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band The Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for percussion-based avant-garde composers such as Edgard Varèse and 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands; he later switched to electric guitar.
He was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often impossible to categorize. His 1966 debut album with The Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages. His later albums shared this eclectic and experimental approach, irrespective of whether the fundamental format was one of rock, jazz or classical. His lyrics—often humorously—reflected his iconoclastic view of established social and political processes, structures and movements. He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, self-education, political participation and the abolition of censorship.
In a desperate attempt at appearing new and unique to those who already know us or to those who've yet to see us, we destroy ourselves at the mirror and inside our respective closets everyday. Our degenerate sense of self propels style and fashion through a never-ending revolution of hip couture. In its wake we're left permanently discontent and looking to improve. FITS, tells a story of a woman who wants out. Sam needs to be OK as is. For a night she is willing to try her seven friends and hope the truth doesn't break them.

could be the difference in our age
been charged with reckless driving, oh and pardon our rage
albeit, i know it, these fits are made of change
the skins, the texture of our page
our nest of shredded paper strewn in our cage
albeit, i know it, these fits are made of change
