Bulletproof
La Roux畯 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
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
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time baby
I'll be
Bulletproof
This time baby
I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be
Bulletproof
The lyrics to La Roux’s song “Bulletproof” tell a story of a person who has experienced heartbreak in the past and is determined not to let it happen again. The person has been hurt before and is therefore “not turned on to love until it’s cheap,” meaning that they will not invest themselves emotionally unless they believe that the other person is genuine and truly cares for them. The lyrics also suggest that the person has tried to communicate this to their partner, but their message has not been received (“My information’s just not going in”).
The song includes a message of strength and determination, with the singer declaring that they will not let themselves be hurt, as they have in the past. They will not let their partner “sweep [them] off [their] feet” as they have done in the past. The idea of being “bulletproof” suggests a level of invincibility, with the person being impervious to the pain that love can sometimes bring.
Overall, the lyrics to “Bulletproof” express a sense of self-assurance and the desire to protect oneself from past hurt. The person has learned from their previous experiences and is determined not to repeat their mistakes in the future.

Lyrics
Contemplating, isolating
And it's stressing me out
Different visions, contradictions
Why won't you let me out?
I need a way to separate yeah
But I promise you that I'll make sure you never forget me (Never forget me)
Now that you want it
Now that you need it
I'm too far gone
You're trying to blame me
But I'm not breaking I'm telling you,
I'm bulletproof Believe me,
I'm bulletproof You make me so bulletproof
And now I'm too far gone
You're addicted and so twisted
That it's freaking me out
Distant eyes, it's no surprise
You can't do anything now
I need a way to separate yeah
But I'm telling you that nothing will ever be the same
Now that you want it
Now that you need it
I'm too far gone
You're trying to blame me
But I'm not breaking I'm telling you,
I'm bulletproof Believe me,
I'm bulletproof You make me so bulletproof
And now I'm too far gone I'm too far gone
You're trying to blame me
But I'm not breaking I'm telling you,
I'm bulletproof Believe me, I'm bulletproof
You make me so bulletproof
And now I'm too far gone I'm telling you,
I'm bulletproof Believe me, I'm bulletproof
You make me so bulletproof
And now I'm too far gone

@Mr._Flunky
I first heard this song one week into my 2 week notice of the job i was leaving.
Every day i had left i would play this before i got to work, to remind myself to stay strong against their attempts to keep me there.
The last day i left i played this song at full volume in the parking lot to drown out my crazy angry boss who was calling the police on me for idk what reason.
Now i make more than double $$, and am able to see me kids more than 1 day per week.
Stay strong of will Brothers and Sisters!
Thank you Godsmack for this inspiring track!💪🤘

I am in the final stages of lung cancer (non-smoker, go figure) and currently in hospice care. Weeks only left amongst you all, brothers & sisters. This album has carried me for months, giving me the strength to face what's coming. Thank you, Godsmack, for providing the soundtrack of the rest of my life. I have been sharing these on FB with family & friends so they will think of me when they hear them.

I came across this song for its amazing power and strength. I glanced down to read the message left by Dan Jordon. I will never hear this song the same way again. Often we leave behind a message for the world to hear. I heard it. Rest In Peace Dan. Shine bright above us all.⭐️👍♥️
