Not Fragile
Unyielding Strength: Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Not Fragile Message
Lyrics
Comin' to you cross country
Approaching from a distant location
Hoping boogie's still allowed
Hoping that a lively, rhythmic music style is still accepted
You ask, do we play heavy music?
Asking if their music is intense
Well, are thunderheads just another cloud?
Comparing their intensity to a thunderhead (storm cloud)
And we do
Confirming that they do play intense music
Not fragile, straight at you
Asserting their strength and resilience, not easily broken
Then we vanish to the night
Disappearing from view
Still in your ears but out of sight
Their music remains in memory but is physically gone
Not fragile
Reasserting their resilience
Don't think we feel hurt or wounded
Denying emotional pain or vulnerability
Or our egos are showing through
Stating that their pride isn't showing
It's our world that's been disrupted
Highlighting how their world has been disturbed
And our strength reflects from you
Their strength is reflected in others
Well, it's true
Confirming their lack of vulnerability
Not fragile over you
Remaining strong despite any challenges
Try us, if you're getting down
Challenging listeners to test their resilience
Feelin' high or just hangin' 'round
Inviting those feeling low or idle to experience their music
Not fragile (yeah)
Reaffirming their resilience
The times we travel in our lives
Life experiences are intense and impactful
Are hard and fast and give us drive
Life moves swiftly and motivates them
We may seem distant most of the time
Appear distant but thoughts are active
But many thoughts are still on our minds
They think deeply despite seeming aloof
Not fragile
Reiterating their resilience and strength
Oh
