Bulletproof
La Roux攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

I won't let you in again
The messages I've tried to send
My information's just not going in
Burning bridges shore to shore
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 second verse continues with the theme of protecting oneself from heartbreak, stating, "I won't let you in again / The messages I've tried to send / My information's just not going in." The singer has attempted to communicate their boundaries but has not been heard, leading them to take more drastic action. "Burning bridges shore to shore / I'll break away from something more / I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap" further reinforces the idea that the singer is more interested in protecting themselves than pursuing a long-lasting relationship.
