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...

   As most of us know Titanium is a strong metal where as it as used to describe how the person deflects insults in this song. " you shout it out but I can't hear a word you say" means how this person ignores these insults. " fire away" is ment to recognize how this person has began to get used to these insults and where as they push them to continue saying these insults( they obviously have been going on a long time ). Finally " sicks and stones may break my bones" we all know that saying but... ( grabs dictionary and hits random jerk ) they still can hurt mentally or physically so this person has been hurt by these insults before.

   I think the song means no matter who you are, you can do amazing things my freind had me listen to this song one day after a couple of girls had made fun of me, it reminded me that i am strong, i am beautiful and i am amazing. so they next day when they would call me names i just sang in my head "shoot me down and i won't fall, i am titanium" i now know that i can just block them out the same with this kid i reallt think this about bullying and i love the song it showed n=me that no matter what i won't fall. I AM TITANIUM. And i CANNOT be stopped EVER. so don't you dare tear me down.

   I love this song because when I’m feeling down I just sing this song in my head. I think the song means that you have been picked on so much that you realise you don’t get hurt by the words because you are used to it. So it makes you feel invisible, you can’t be defeated and I think it is a powerful message to everyone who gets bullied so that’s why love this song. Thanks for reading :)

   not sure to be honest. it seems to be a story about a boy who has paranormal powers. its hard to tell what it is about. so my best interpretation is dont bully.

   When I wrote the song it should be a duet but I asked David to come and sing with me it will be like fun to taught him to use my instruments and we’re so lucky to have him as a writer, he had great voice and amazing songwriter, and he wrote this song and send it to Ben, and obviously we’re going to have the song finished by the time we’ve been heard and we’re glad that David came and we’re going to the beach with Ben and I we will have fun and write our songs and starting performing together it’s like summer vacation it’s our first summer vacation together, that’s why we deciding to go the beach and have fun.

   I think it is showing the journey through experiencing trauma and the story shown is a metaphor. At the start the kids sitting small and alone among tatters while the teacher looks scared and doesnt understand what the kid is feeling then she closes the door. The kid wanders for a bit, finds an exit and leaves feeling scared and exposed. The kid then jumps on a bike and gets to their home, their safe place as quick as possible until the threat finds them there. The kid accepts life has changed, throws away the teddy, the last of childhood innocence, grabs only what they need knowing theres no going back and busts through a very tough door. Acceptance. The kid runs through many scary and unfamiliar places alone while still being chased. Eventually it catches up with the kid and is a very chaotic and confronting moment as everything falls on the kid at once. They fully break (the beginning treatment) then they explode with strength and blow away what has been chasing them for so long. The lyrics: talking loud, not saying much, cant hear a word you say. Trauma can create a brain fog directly after. Its like being underwater. People talk and say things but the disassociation from the real world can in a way mute those trying to help. Sticks and stones break bones, Im bullet proof, I am titanium could be a way of telling the world they just cant touch you because youve overcome so much that now youre as strong and unbreakable as titanium.

    When I wrote the song with David he used the mixer for the dj but I’m being good this year but Jonas brothers are going to write that song to my record but it’s so good to record that song it holds that note and try to sing sias part. She’s such amazing talented young lady, I love her, she’s so inspiring. But her husband is closer to home and also Austria is about 26 miles from Virginia.

    I think for terrifying to face something that we’re closer toward the scary parts. But someone isn’t going to protect me. Accept Jonah. He doesn’t fear of anything of any scary sound. But it made him scared but his brother is there.

    T is about a someone that just feels like they want to die so he is telling this person whith a gun that it woldn't matter if he shooted him.If you want to die that wold just be ending the pain like getting shot wold heal you.

    I think titanium is about maybe a shooting at a school . think this because when they say "talking loud not saying much" it means the screams of all the kids being shot because when you scream you are talking loud but not saying much.Also I think when they say "I'm bullet proof nothing to loose fire away fire away I am titanium stone hard machine gun firing at the ones who run" it means that the souls of the kids will live on forever even though the bodies are dead.But hey I could be wrong you guys have great conspireses are great to!

    You have to be yourself no matter what others say about you...because your story depends on you not them.
