Titanium
Ft. Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
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
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
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
I am titanium
I am titanium
Stone hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone hard, as 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 lyrics of "Titanium" by Ft. Sia, is an empowering and uplifting anthem about resilience and being unbreakable in the face of opposition. The opening lines reveal the main theme of the song - the singer's ability to ignore the negativity and criticism of others. She sarcastically shows that she is capable of talking louder but saying less. The bullets mentioned in the song represent other people's harsh and hurtful words directed at the singer. The line "Shoot me down, but I get up" shows how she bounces back stronger and more fortified every time someone tries to put her down.
The chorus, "I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away. You shoot me down, but I won't fall, I am titanium," is a declaration of the singer's strength and resilience. It is a message to everyone that no matter how many times they get "shot down," they won't give up, because they have something unbreakable within them, just like titanium. The phrase "you shoot me down, but I won't fall," is repeated four times, emphasizing the strength of the singer, and how she will always get back up no matter what.
The bridge of the song brings in imagery and metaphors that allude to the toughness of titanium. The words "stone hard, machine gun, firing at the ones who run," presents an unbreakable and impenetrable force. It represents the singer's invincibility in the face of any opposition. The final repetition of "I am titanium," is a direct statement that the singer is unbreakable and nothing can bring her down.
