Fragile
Imperia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My sking fractured
Cause of all I kept inside
For so long got out in the open
Like a snake changing skin

I'm fragile
I'm so fragile within
What was before
Is everything now
Here I am
Without my skin in flesh in blood

Crawling along the highway of life
Was filled with pain
It left scars, that fractured my skin
I'm so fragile within

I'm fragile
I'm so fragile within

What was before
Is everything now




Here I am
Without my skin in flesh in blood

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Imperia's song "Fragile" suggest that the singer has gone through a period of keeping things bottled up and not expressing them to others. This has caused them pain and has ultimately caused their "skin" to fracture, or break open. It is suggested that this expression came out of them like a snake shedding its skin. The singer describes themselves as fragile, emphasizing the idea that they are vulnerable and easily broken. The pain they have gone through has left scars, both emotional and physical, and has made them very fragile on the inside. They are now crawling along the highway of life, wounded and broken, without their skin and their protective outer layer.


The song seems to suggest that it is important to express one's emotions, even if it is difficult or painful. Keeping things bottled up inside can lead to a breakdown, both internally and externally. The metaphor of the snake shedding its skin suggests that this expression is a natural process and can ultimately lead to growth and renewal. The haunting melody and emotional vocals highlight the raw and vulnerable nature of the lyrics.
