We Are So Fragile
Fragility Unveiled: Navigating Deceptive Realities in Tubeway Army's Anthem
Lyrics
We are so fragile
We, as individuals, are delicate and vulnerable.
Advertising lies that are whiter than yours
The media promotes deceptive messages that seem purer than our own experiences.
We are so fragile they could give us a war
Our fragility is exploited to the extent that a war could be initiated just for entertainment purposes.
Just to keep us amused
Wars are initiated to keep us distracted and entertained.
We are so fragile
Reiteration of our vulnerability.
I could stay here inside and
One could withdraw from the outside world and claim that everything has already been experienced.
Say it's all been done we are so fragile
Reinforcement of our delicate nature, suggesting that we are easily influenced.
Just pretend I never tried
Suggesting a passive approach, pretending that one never attempted anything.
I'll leave it up to you
The decision is left to the listener or a higher authority.
We are still so young
Despite being young, we may engage in actions that society deems inappropriate or unconventional.
And it must be wrong but I'd
Acknowledging a potential wrongdoing, but expressing a willingness to repeat the same actions.
Do it all the same we are really so shy
Despite shyness, there is a determination to proceed, with a sense of inevitability.
There's nothing I can do
Feeling powerless to change the situation.
Except believe in you
The only option is to have faith or trust in someone else.
We could always go home
Suggesting the option to retreat or return to a familiar place.
But everyone says this is the place to be
Despite the option to go home, societal pressure insists that the current situation is more desirable.
We are so unnatural
Highlighting the unnatural or artificial nature of the current environment.
But you wouldn't understand
Implying a lack of understanding from others, particularly those who only interact with men.
You only deal with men
Suggesting a limited perspective and interaction, possibly with a bias towards dealing only with men.
