Titanium Lyrics

[Sia:]
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

[Chorus:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire...

    I think it was about someone who had scoliosis and they had titanium put in their back and people are mean to them but they are titanium and now they can't be hurt because they're bulletproof. :)

    The video shows a kid, probably who has been bullied, maybe a bit awkward, surely a bit scaried, who strikes back with his supernatural power (yet without doing bodily harm to anyone),and later,even chased down as a criminal (which obvious an innocent being like him is not), but in the end is the winner even in front of an armed swat team.
    Yet the meaning is more general than about bullying in school or childhood: it's about resisting the duress - which happens also with bullies,but not only - and standing up for your rights. The bullets are just a metaphor: it's about the emotional stress brought by mean behaviour, mean workplaces, mean families. Every person could find the inner "titanium" self when faced agression.

    they were sooo jealouse of his superior sexxiness. that they had to mass orchestrate a hate conspiracy against him.... he brushed it off. ate a heath bar. and boned super hotties the whole time. smirking....than dipped out....with a big metaphorical smack to that society as a whole..... smug as hell and extremely flattered that people would create such a mass ordeal bout him.....then orchestrate it so meticulously. only too have him topple every ones attempt at his sexxxy pride. to no avail. than turn into the number of the beast looking like a male version of cindy crawford with a pen@*s so large that it was prolly hurting ur wifeys tum tum whilst u slaved all day at %werk ye silly lil kraut bergers ; )

    I feel the kid in the video did not realize his powers at first and reached a breaking point, finally releasing his true inner strength against those who have shot him down. He stood up for himself for the first time and feeling unsure he runs home only to have no one there to listen or turn to. He has to turn to his inner strength again for a bigger bully at the end but knows he won't be harmed. Even when you stand up for yourself, bigger bullies may come. Your inner strength of titanium and knowing words will not hurt will make you stronger! Be strong!

    no matter what people did to you, do not blame and hurt yourself. we need to be strong, firm inside out. never let people put u down n keep moving on.

    One good interpretation I was inspired to love was it was about a person who fell in love with someone who couldn't love them back. And after all this time, the tables had turned, (ricochet), and now she won't listen to his confessions because she feels like he's only kidding her. And she stays firm to her notion that they can never be together, no matter what the other says.

    Looks like a kid going overboard after kids bullied him. Standing up for yourself is one thing, this video seems to promote massacre type action. Never forget Columbine.

    This song reminds me of the aurora massacre. "Machine gun, firing at the ones who run". kinda errie.

    as you see in the titanium music video the seen is in the 80's and i bealive that the boy in the video[ryan lee,super 8 star] is supposed to be david when he was a kid.when the boy got angry from being picked on,and he blew up his school and know the cops are chasing him but he blows them away.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    I think it means that your stonger than them in other words your titanium they can't hurt you. The boy is hunted down by the swat team for being different and they want the boy because they think he is dangerous and want to get rid of the outsider. Bully victims remember your titanium when they point out your flaws look for their flaws to.

    For me this song is meant to cry out and demonstrate against the totalitarian regimes of the Middle East. Hold on don’t leave, consider it for a moment! Think out of the box and expand your mind to what happening on the international stage and you will see that this song was released in mid 2011 several months after the bloodiest uprising in Syria began among the Arab states going thru what has been called the Arab spring. It’s a metaphor for the unjust treatment of people who have suffered and their unbreakable resolve to over come. The main character in the video is a young school boy being chased by the authorities and ultimately, at the end by the army. In Syria hasn’t it been reported on the news that children were slaughtered by the army for writing graffiti on their school walls? Hadn’t it stared that way? Because when the mind is young it yearns to remove the wool that has been pulled over its eyes by people who proclaim themselves as central. “I’m bullet proof, nothing to loose, fire away, fire away” to me is a cry by the masses that you can bring it on but we want fall, we’ll continue to fight, what ever may come. Individually we will fall and die but always with the knowledge that someone will take our place and carry on. Titanium is the human spirit and as long as people exist on this world it will never fall, it will never die.

    the song and the video are about how it is ok to be different or a bit odd.thats how the lord made us.the boy[ryan lee,super 8 star]got angry and tired of bulling so he used his supernatural powers to blow up his school because he couldn't hold in his anger anymore.a terified teacher calls the police. the boy puts his hat on and grabes his bike and heads to his home where he thinks he is safe but as he walks threw the door he sees that the t.v. says that their is a "supernatural occurance at local school." he than runs to his room throws 2 stuffed animals off his bed stuffes his backpack with clothes and goes to the back door as the s.w.a.t team tries to go threw the front he ties to open the backdoor but it is locked.he uses his power to move the keys off of the counter.he unlockes the door and steps into the cold late fall air.as the s.w.a.t team inter's they go into the room, they find the 2 stuffed animals flouting in mid air.as the boy walks threw the woods time go's by and it's all ready nightfall.he sees the s.w.a.t team car as he runs threw the woods he gets courward they kick him down then he blows them away.i think the song is about how to stand up to the bullies in life and take a stand even if u are different because we all are different and people should respect and understand,because i am titanium and u can not put me down...
