Titanium
Run Liberty Run Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You shout it out,
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
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
You're 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
Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Titanium" by Run Liberty Run, performed by David Guetta and Sia, touch on themes of resilience, courage, and self-confidence. The singer of the song appears to be someone who has faced criticism and negative feedback from others, but rather than being defeated, they remain unbreakable and "bulletproof." The opening lines of the song "You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say" suggest that the singer is trying to block out the negativity and focus on their own strength and willpower. They recognize that they are "talking loud not saying much," meaning that their actions and perseverance will speak louder than any words they could say in response to their critics.


The lyrics continue to explain that while the singer is being targeted and attacked ("You shoot me down, but I get up"), ultimately they will not be defeated because they are unbreakable ("I am titanium"). This repeated phrase serves as a sort of mantra, emphasizing the singer's resilience and determination. The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "fire away," acknowledging that others will continue to hurl insults and criticisms, but the singer will remain strong and unyielding.
