Titanium
David Guetta & Sia [SongsCyber.Com] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
Cut me down, but it's you who had further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love, Raise your voice
Sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine guns, firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, those bulletproof glass
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down
But I won't fall, I am titanium, I am titanium
The song Titanium by David Guetta and Sia is an empowering anthem about standing strong in the face of adversity. The opening lines describe how the singer hears the criticism of others, but refuses to let their words bring them down. Instead, they proclaim that they are "bulletproof" and have "nothing to lose." The following lines repeat the phrase "fire away" as a challenge to those who would try to bring the singer down. The chorus repeats the idea that no matter how many times the singer is "shot down," they will not fall because they are made of titanium.
The second verse continues this theme of resilience, describing how even when the singer is "cut down," they have further to fall than the person who is trying to bring them down. The metaphor of a ghost town and haunted love create a sense of isolation and pain, but the singer's determination to "talk loud" and "not say much" shows that they refuse to be silenced. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the singer's indestructible nature.
The final lines of the song bring the metaphor of titanium full circle, calling to mind the image of a stone-hard, bulletproof material that cannot be broken. The repetition of "I am titanium" reinforces the powerful message of the song: no matter what happens, the singer will not be broken.

You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say
Even though you speak loudly, I am not able to hear you
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I am speaking loudly, but not conveying a lot
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
I get criticized, but it doesn't affect me
You shoot me down, but I get up
Even though you shoot me, I still rise
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
I am invincible, with nothing to fear
Fire away, fire away
Go ahead and shoot
Ricochet, you take your aim
Shoot at me, but your bullet bounces off
But I won't fall, I am titanium
I won't be defeated, I am incredibly strong
Cut me down, but it's you who had further to fall

Ghost town and haunted love, Raise your voice
The love we had is dead and gone, but speak up anyway
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Physical harm can hurt me
Stone-hard, machine guns, firing at the ones who run
The attackers are relentless and ruthless
Stone-hard, those bulletproof glass
I am protected from your attacks
You shoot me down, But I won't fall, I am titanium, I am titanium
No matter how hard you try, you can't bring me down. I am powerful
