Fragile
Richard Cube and Blank & Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it earth where we belong
No one knows the way to go
No body ever wants to show
You and me had our share
Of these questions to declare
Emotions have to go
The lyrics of the song Fragile by Richard Cube and Blank & Jones explore the concept of human vulnerability and the uncertainty of the human condition. The opening lines, "are we fragile, are we strong," speak to the contradictory nature of humanity's capacity for resilience and susceptibility. The subsequent line, "is it earth where we belong," suggests an existential inquiry into the purpose and meaning of human existence. The final lines of the verse, "no one knows the way to go, nobody ever wants to show," convey a sense of confusion and doubt about the direction and guidance that humanity often lacks.
The second verse of the song turns inward to the personal experience of the artists, "you and me had our share, of these questions to declare, emotions have to go, I just want to know." This verse explores the emotional complexity of the human experience and the struggle to find answers to unanswerable questions. The line "emotions have to go" suggests a desire for some kind of detachment or emotional distance in the search for clarity and understanding.

Are we fragile are we strong
Do we have the stability to withstand the tests of life or will we crumble under pressure?

There is no one definitive path that everyone must follow as life is a journey of self-discovery.
No body ever wants to show
People are hesitant to reveal their vulnerabilities and choose to wear a facade of strength instead.
You and me had our share
We have also had occasions in our lives when we have pondered on these same enigmatic questions.
Of these questions to declare
Questions that we have the liberty to ask but have not yet found the answers to.
Emotions have to go

I just want to know
The longing to unmask the truth, the answers to the mysterious questions, becomes overpowering.

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it
(Owner of a lonely heart)

Growing up in the 80s was about the "coolest" decade anybody could hope for since the 60s, even to this day. I too feel lucky.
