Bulletproof
dotter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me up
When I am old enough to care
About my rusty heart I swear

I will learn
Gotta be gentle say you mean
Whatever you do it's all for me
I'm talking 'bout the wondering
I'm talking 'bout the little things
I'm talking 'bout the hunger
Give me love, my love, my love, my love
You know I'm

I'm talking 'bout the love and pain
It's messin' with my brain
Oh you lift me up a thousand times
But when you hit it hurts like guns

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Ho ho
Bulletproof

When you're gathering up your army
Just shoot me in the middle
Where my heart's supposed to be
The choir sings forever rest in peace

Care for me
Though it's too much for you to heal
Show me your love and hold me near

Don't back down
You lift me up a thousand times
But when you hit it hurts like guns

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Ho ho
Bulletproof

When you're gathering up your army
Just shoot me in the middle
Where my heart's supposed to be
The choir sings forever rest in peace

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Ho ho
Bulletproof

When you're gathering up your army
So just shoot me in the middle
Where my heart's supposed to be
The choir sings forever rest in peace

I'm talking 'bout the wondering
I'm talking 'bout the little things
I'm talking 'bout the hunger
Give me love, my love, my love, my love

You know I'm, I'm talking 'bout the love and pain
It's messin' with my brain oh
You lift me up a thousand times
But when you hit it hurts like guns

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Ho ho
Bulletproof

When you're gathering up your army
Just shoot me in the middle
Where my heart's supposed to be
The choir sings forever rest in peace

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Ho ho
Bulletproof

When you're gathering up your army
So just shoot me in the middle




Where my heart's supposed to be
The choir sings forever rest in peace

Overall Meaning

The song "Bulletproof" by Dotter is a powerful ballad about vulnerability and the pain that comes with it. The singer begins by acknowledging that they are not yet old enough to truly care about their emotional wellbeing, but that they will work to be more gentle with themselves and ask for the care they need. The song then delves into the struggle of relationships, where love and pain can both lift us up and tear us down. The singer expresses that they are not "bulletproof" and cannot withstand everything that comes their way. They ask to be cared for and held close, even when it feels like too much.


The chorus repeats the message of the singer's vulnerability, stating that they are not "bulletproof" and cannot withstand the hurt that comes their way. The lyrics "Just shoot me in the middle where my heart's supposed to be" paint an image of being so exposed and vulnerable that they can almost feel the physical pain of being shot. Despite this, the singer acknowledges their own strength in continuing to fight and ask for what they need.


Overall, "Bulletproof" is a poignant reminder that vulnerability is not weakness and that it is okay to ask for help and love in the midst of pain.

@dripple1991

it's harder to win melodifestivalen than eurovision....

@Andreasodebrink

Fr

@nitroschannel1597

and once you win MF you're immediatelly a favourite to win ESC. Sweden doesn't play when it comes to music.

@noopnoop1195

@Alex Amarelo - Music So what happend in 2010?

@nitroschannel1597

@Noop noop first of all, I'm not swedish. Second, 2010 and The Ark were the only swedish ESC entries I didn't like that much, all others were perfect. So don't speak about 2010 when you damn know that the great majority is good. I'm not talking about 2010. So I don't really care. What I care is the majority of the good songs they sent and respective good results.

@patrikedstrom8425

@Nitros Channel Anna won that year
