In fact, it's probably infinitely more interesting, perhaps, than what it was initially written about. Which, believe me, is perfectly fine by me. I think people see it as an anthem based on Elton's strong sense of survival in the face of adversity. Said the lyricist: "It's perhaps one more example of the original idea being interpreted by everyone into something quite different. While the song is often seen as a statement of Elton's resilience, Taupin wrote it with a specific person in mind. An uptempo song with some harsh lyrics ("You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use"), it conveys a universal theme of finding confidence after a difficult breakup. With lyrics by Bernie Taupin, this song is directed at a former lover, as Elton sings about how he is still standing strong without this person.
