- Fragile LyricsIf blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

✔️
When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, the piece 'Fragile' by Sting is a meditation on the transience of human life as well as the deep effects of violence. The composer leaves us with a very melancholic thought: although the physical traces of an event can be erased, the invisible scars and the frailty of human existence linger on. The metaphor of rain as tears denotes the same hidden and sensitive nature of man and draws attention to the human beings' common but very gentle presence on the planet, which is only visible under the masks of life's uncertainties. Fragile lyrics mainly reflect on, and comment upon, social issues, despair, angst, and, even, rage. Besides, the song highlights the repercussions of violence and the transience of life. At one point, referring to the blood and error, the lyrics become violent and fragile to the point where they are unsuitable for very young kids. Even though there is no cursing or graphic contents, the mentions of blood and violence imply that parents should be around during the listening session.

personal freedom cannot be achieved without some form of violence. I love the tune but... lyrics are way utopic to the point of being stupid, all the while being somehow beautiful

Everytime I hear this song I think about Stockholm, Sweden and riding the train to town every morning. I was 15 and there alone for the first time. I tried so hard to understand the meaning of it..
