Not Fragile
Bachman-Turner Overdrive Lyrics

Comin' to you cross country
We are arriving from a distant location and hoping that our music style is still appreciated where we are.

Hoping boogie's still allowed
We hope that the style of music that we play, which is a form of rock and roll, is still accepted and celebrated in this place.

You ask, do we play heavy music?
You might wonder if our music is loud, energetic, and intense, which is what most people expect from rock music.

Well, are thunderheads just another cloud?
Yes, our music is heavy, but that's just how it is. It's as normal as seeing clouds in the sky during a storm.

And we do
Yes, we do play heavy music, as you might have suspected.

Not fragile, straight at you
Our music is robust and bold, and we are delivering it directly to you with no hesitation.

Then we vanish to the night
After we're done playing our music, we disappear into the darkness of the night.

Still in your ears but out of sight
Even though we've left, the sound of our music is still resonating in your ears, but you can no longer see us.

Not fragile
Our music is strong and powerful, and it can withstand whatever comes its way.

Don't think we feel hurt or wounded
Just because we might seem distant or disengaged, don't assume that we are hurt or upset.

Or our egos are showing through
We're not being distant to show off or appear superior. That's just our way of being.

It's our world that's been disrupted
The way we see and experience the world has been disturbed or interrupted in some way.

And our strength reflects from you
But our strength and resilience come from the people who appreciate and enjoy our music.

Well, it's true
These sentiments are genuine and not simply a facade.

Not fragile over you
Our music remains strong and bold, even in the face of adversity or difficult circumstances because of the support of our fans and listeners.

Try us, if you're getting down
If you're feeling low or depressed, give our music a try, because it might cheer you up.

Feelin' high or just hangin' 'round
Alternatively, if you're already feeling good, or if you're just looking to relax, our music might be a perfect fit for you too.

Not fragile (yeah)
As we've said before, our music is robust and powerful, and we are proud of it.

The times we travel in our lives
Throughout the various phases of our lives, we will encounter different situations that will shape and influence us.

Are hard and fast and give us drive
These experiences, whether difficult or exhilarating, are intense and compelling and provide us with the motivation we need to move forward.

We may seem distant most of the time
Even though we might seem aloof or detached from our surroundings, we have to continue to move forward in our lives, just like everyone else.

But many thoughts are still on our minds
Despite our apparent distance, we still have many thoughts and ideas regarding our place in the world, our music, and our fans.

Not fragile
Ultimately, our music remains robust and powerful, even in the face of significant challenges and hardships.

Oh
This is an exclamation that emphasizes the strength, resilience, and intensity of our music.
