" Biography
Avant-Garde, mystical, and magical are just some of the ways her fans describe KERLI’s music. As Estonia’s most successful music export, this unique artist has defied genre and created a musical world all her own; an eclectic style, drawing on a wide range of influences such as electronic, pop, goth, and experimental.
Her debut album, "Love Is Dead", in 2008 which charted on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Walking on Air," was featured as the iTunes single of the week where it was downloaded over 500,000 times, a record at that time.
Her 2nd album Utopia also charted on Billboard 200. Singles "Army of Love", Zero Gravity", and "The Lucky Ones" entered the top 10 Billboard Hot Dance, two of them peaking at number 1. A song co-written by KERLI for Utopia, "Skyscraper" was recorded by Demi Lovato and become one of Demi’s biggest hits.
In 2016, she released 3 independent singles, while teaming up with the government of Estonia to art direct a tourism campaign designed to promote the otherworldly nature of her country.
Spending most of her creative time in the deep forests of Estonia, KERLI’s evolution as an artist has paralleled her curiosity as a human, exploring the relationship between nature, mysticism, and technology. All of which will be part of her most diverse and eclectic body of work on an upcoming album, titled ‘Shadow Works’, set to release in Feb 2019 on MrSuicideSheep's imprint Seeking Blue"
Many new worlds and characters will be revealed in 2023, starting with a dangerously cute realm of a pink robot named Joy, here to make a big colorful splash on the apocalypse-stricken planet Earth.

Kerli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything that you consider me
You think you know my name
You think you know me
And everything you get a chance to see
You think you know my face
You think you know my face
And everything that you consider me
You think I'm more than you
You think you see me
You like the way I'm strong and stand by you
But I am fragile too
I am fragile too
Yeah I will be fine
As the time goes by
It may hurt at nights
But I will be fine
Yeah I will be fine
They think they know me
And everything that they consider me
They think I never cry
They are thinking
While they're making up their twisted lies
She won't mind, she's nice
She is cold as ice
You think you see me
and everything that you consider me
You think I'm more than you
You think you see me
You like the way I'm strong and stand by you
But I am fragile too
I am fragile too
I am fragile too
I am fragile too
Just like you
The lyrics of Kerli's song Fragile are about the misjudgment and misunderstanding one can face from people who think they know everything about them. The song is filled with emotions of vulnerability, strength, and resilience. In the first verse, the singer talks about how people think they know everything about her including her name and face despite having little or no knowledge about her. The repeated line “You think you know my face” emphasizes the singer's frustration with people's assumptions.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how people only see her strong side and disregard her vulnerability and fragility. The line “But I am fragile too” sheds light on the fact that everyone is vulnerable to pain and that it's okay to embrace and acknowledge our vulnerabilities. The chorus emphasizes the strength and resilience of the singer when she says, “Yeah, I will be fine”, despite the pain she may be facing.
The third verse is about the rumors people spread about the singer, with lines such as “While they're making up their twisted lies, She won't mind, she's nice” indicating that people judge her character without knowing the real her. The final chorus “I am fragile too, just like you” reinforces the idea that everybody has their own struggles and pain, and it's necessary to approach each other with empathy and understanding.
