Trivia
The inspiration for this song was the pain Sting felt from the failure of his first marriage. In a Musician magazine interview later that year, he said:"Fortress' is about appeasement, about trying to bridge the gaps between individuals. The central image is a minefield that you've laid around this other person to try and protect them. Then you realize that you have to walk back through it. I think it's one of the best choruses I've ever written."
