Jason Chen 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
You 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
I am titanium...
Cut me down
But it's you who'd have further to fall
Ghost town, 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
I am titanium...
Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, that 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
The lyrics to Jason Chen's song Titanium are about resilience and strength in the face of negative criticism and adversity. The singer acknowledges that they are being criticized but their words aren't penetrating the singer's tough exterior. They have been shot at with bullets but they keep getting up, proving their strength and resilience. They are compared to titanium, a strong metal that is hard to break.
The second verse seems to address a specific person, who has cut the singer down but would have further to fall themselves. The reference to a ghost town and haunted love suggests a sense of emptiness or loss, perhaps caused by the person who has been critical. However, the singer refuses to be brought down by sticks and stones and keeps talking loud, indicating that they will continue to persevere through adversity.
The final verse uses the metaphor of a stone-hard, machine gun firing at those who run. The singer is still being shot at but they remain unbreakable and bulletproof. The repeating of the phrase "You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium" emphasizes the singer's unbreakable strength and endurance.

Awesome cover. One of the best i have heard so far. On the point, clear, powerful and with an individual note. Great!
@JasonChen
you sing the same line a bunch of times, choose one to set as the lead, then stack the other takes in the back, EQ it differently, pan them left/right to give it a fuller sound
@JasonChen
i use headphones to hear the music, but I stay on pitch better when I can hear myself without headphones so I just use one side
@thefourthchairman4151
I've watched and listened so many covers of this song... Some are very nice, but no one sing the "I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose" part better than Sia herself
@roseheart56
