SAY SOMETHING
Madilyn Bailey & Runagound 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 criticised but all your bullets, we could see
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 bullet us down
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 song "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia has been interpreted in different ways, but Madilyn Bailey & Runagound's rendition of it brings out its empowering message. The first verse of the song talks about how the singer is being criticized and attacked but refuses to back down. She feels unheard and unappreciated, but her resilience is unwavering in the face of adversity. The chorus reinforces this message by stating that the singer is bulletproof, has nothing to lose, and is unstoppable. She encourages the oppressor to fire away, knowing that she can withstand the bullets and still defy all odds.
The second verse of the song is reflective of the emotional turmoil the singer has faced. She has been cut down repeatedly but doesn't let that stop her from speaking her truth loudly. The bridge of the song explains how the singer has been victimized, and the oppressor is trying to break her spirit. She compares herself to titanium, a durable and robust material that cannot be destroyed by bullets. Therefore, the oppressor can shoot her down but cannot negatively impact her spirit or make her fall.
Overall, the song's message is about standing up for oneself, not giving up, and being strong enough to withstand any adversity. It's a song of empowerment that encourages people to be themselves, speak their truth, and be unapologetically resilient.
