Fragile Figures is the second album by metalcore band Secrets, released by Rise Records on July 23, 2013. It is the band's second album produced by Tom Denney, and the first and only release with vocalist Aaron Melzer. The album sold over 10,000 copies on its first month, and reached number 59 on Billboard 200 chart in 2013. The deluxe edition of the album was released on May 27, 2014, with 3 new songs and a remix of the track "Ready for Repair".
The band teamed up again with producer Tom Denney (ex-A Day to Remember) who produced their debut album The Ascent. Vocally, the sound was going to be different from the previous album, as the former vocalist Xander Bourgeois who sang on the debut album, left in April and was replaced with a new lead vocalist Aaron Melzer, formerly with the band Author & Finisher. Also Richard Rogers worked on his vocals for this album with Eric Ron who is specialized in vocal production. In the Vents magazine interview, the band explained the album title: "We realize everyone is broken, everyone goes through hard times, and everyone is trying not to break in this world we live in. We thought that 'Fragile Figures' was an appropriate title that encompassed the meaning behind all of our songs on this record."

Fragile is the seventh leader album by Japanese Pianist Junko Onishi, released on September 23, 1998 in Japan. It was released on May 4, 1999 by Blue Note Records.
Fragile is the fourth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released in November 1971 on Atlantic Records. It is their first album recorded with keyboardist Rick Wakeman in the band's line-up after Tony Kaye was fired for having a lack of interest in learning more electronic keyboards. Formed of nine tracks, four are group performances while the remaining five are solo features written by each member. Its cover was designed by Roger Dean, who would design their future band logo, stage sets, and many of their future album covers.
Fragile received a positive reception upon its release and was a commercial and critical success, reaching No. 4 on the US Billboard Top LPs chart and No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart. "Roundabout" was released as a single in the US which reached No. 13 and is one of the band's best known songs. The album is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over 2 million copies.
On 31 July 1971, Yes performed the final concert of their 1970–71 tour of Europe and North America at Crystal Palace Park to support The Yes Album (1971). The line-up during this time consisted of singer Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Bill Bruford, keyboardist Tony Kaye, and guitarist Steve Howe. Following the tour, Yes started work on their next studio record that was originally conceived as a double album with a combination of studio and live tracks. The concept could not be realised due to the time required to make it. Ideas to have the album recorded in Miami, Florida with producer Tom Dowd also never came to fruition.
Lately I've been thinking that I'm not the one to play this part
Cause every sweet word that I write could never fix their hearts
I can't help but think
That someone else is living my dream
Because this means so much to me
Am I the man that you want
Or the man that I'm supposed to be?
Am I the man I'm supposed to be
Or did they get the whole thing wrong?
These days I wish I never wrote a single song
For you to sing along
I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong
Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long
I let the hate of the world fill my head with doubt
I wont let their voices drown me out
You are the reason, I do this for you not myself
Am I the man I'm supposed to be
Or did they get the whole thing wrong?
These days I wish I never wrote a single song
For you to sing along
I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong
Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long
When you want me to fail
And stand in my way
