Bulletproof
La Roux牥 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm having fun; don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let you in again
The messages I've tried to send
My information's just not going in
I'll break away from something more
I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap
Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun; don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
[Chorus]
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead
Do, do, do your dirty words
Come out to play when you are heard
There's certain things that should be left unsaid
Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
And life's too short for me to stop
Oh, baby, your time is running out
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt
[Chorus: x2]
This time baby
I'll be
Bulletproof
This time baby
I'll be
Bulletproof
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics to La Roux's song Bulletproof convey a powerful message of resilience and strength in the face of romantic disappointment. The singer declares that she has been in love before, but now she is having fun and won't be swept off her feet. She also has a clear message for a particular person who has hurt her in the past - she won't let this person in again, and her information won't be ignored.
Throughout the song, La Roux communicates the importance of standing up for oneself and not settling for less than what one deserves. She won't allow anyone to manipulate her emotions or make her feel inadequate. The phrase "bulletproof" reinforces this idea of being tough and impervious to harm, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics are delivered with a fierce intensity, and the infectious beat and catchy chorus make this a song that inspires and uplifts listeners.

Been there, done that, messed around
I have had my fill of unsatisfactory relationships
I'm having fun; don't put me down
I'm enjoying being single and don't need any judgment for it
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let my emotions for someone get out of control
I won't let you in again
I won't allow myself to be emotionally vulnerable with this person again
The messages I've tried to send
I've tried to communicate my feelings, but you're not understanding
My information's just not going in
You're not listening or taking my feelings seriously
Burning bridges shore to shore
I'm cutting ties with people and situations that aren't serving me
I'll break away from something more
I'm choosing to leave behind something, even if it seems like a 'sure thing'
I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap
I am not interested in love that comes at a cost or is insincere
I won't let you turn around
I won't allow you to backtrack on a dead relationship and give me false hope
And tell me now I'm much too proud
Don't call me prideful just because I won't entertain your romantic advances
To walk away from something when it's dead
I won't cling onto something that is over or not working out
Do, do, do your dirty words
I don't want to hear any hurtful or negative words from you
Come out to play when you are heard
You only say these negative things because you know I'm listening
There's certain things that should be left unsaid
Some things are better left unspoken to avoid hurting someone's feelings
Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
Life is short and I won't waste any more time on this relationship
And life's too short for me to stop
I won't let you slow down my progress or hold me back
Oh, baby, your time is running out
I won't wait around for you to change or make a move
All you do is fill me up with doubt
Your actions and words only make me unsure about our relationship
This time, baby, I'll be
I'm starting a new chapter in my love life
Bulletproof
I won't be emotionally vulnerable to hurt and disappointment

Andrew Dice Clay’s 2 sons. The drummer and guitar player. Nice rocking song but they look like accountants. They need a stylist.
