Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still

People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through

People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
He'll speak when he's spoken to
She'll speak when she's spoken to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Editors' song "Munich" are about the fragility of people as beings and the ways in which they can be hurt or damaged by others. The protagonist appears to have found something or someone that has brought them joy and relief, but at the same time recognizes the importance of being careful with fragile things. The repetition of the lines "People are fragile things, you should know by now, be careful what you put them through" reinforces the message and serves as a reminder to be empathetic towards others.


The second half of the song focuses on the role of communication in relationships, specifically the dynamic between the speaker and the person they are addressing. The repeated lines "You'll speak when you're spoken to" suggest a power imbalance, perhaps indicating that the speaker feels they are not being heard or respected. However, the lines "With one hand you calm me, with one hand I'm still" imply a sense of intimacy and mutual understanding between the two individuals.


Overall, the lyrics of "Munich" highlight the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, as well as the need for effective communication in relationships.

Not that this is needed but lyrics (b/c I have nothing to do right now): 

I'm so glad I found this. I'm so glad I did. 
I'm so glad I found this. I'm so glad I did. 

People are fragile things; you should know by now. 
Be careful what you put them through. 
People are fragile things; you should know by now. 
You'll speak when you're spoken to. 

It breaks when you don't force it. It breaks when you don't try. 
It breaks if you don't force it. It breaks if you don't try. 

People are fragile things; you should know by now. 
Be careful what you put them through. 
People are fragile things; you should know. By. Now. 
You'll speak when you're spoken to. 

With one hand you calm me. With one hand I'm still. 
With one hand you calm me. With one hand I'm still. 

People are fragile things; you should know by now. 
Be careful what you put them through. 
People are fragile things; you should know. By. Now. 
You'll speak when you're spoken to. 

You'll speak when you're spoken to. You'll speak when you're spoken to. 
He'll speak when he's spoken to. She'll speak when she's spoken to.
