Titanium (David Guetta)

I like this song.

Here's the explanation of this song meaning from http://meaningfulsong.weebly.com

"Titanium is a song produced and co-written by David Guetta and performed by Sia Furler. Titanium has a very pop, techno type of sound, but it is meant to be a ballad. The music and beats associated with this song will often take away the true meaning that the lyrics actually possess. Titanium talks about our inner strength and being strong in ourselves.

The lyrics use many different literary elements to portray the message of the song such as metaphors, imagery, and symbolism. The meaning of this song is to be strong even when the world is throwing its worse at you. When bad things happen we must stand strong and not fall. As the song states, we must be "Titanium" which means to be strong hearted and strong willed. The first lyrics in the song talk about ignoring people who will shout at us and yell at us to put us down. The song uses symbolism that extends throughout the whole song. The song uses guns and bullets as a metaphor for the hateful words that people will say to us. In the chorus Sia, the vocalist of the song, sings about being bullet proof. This means that we shouldn't worry about what people say about us. When we are shot down with bullets, all the bullets ricochet, or bounce off. In verse two, the song talks about how people can continue to shoot us down but it's not us who will be hurting more if we stand our ground.

This song has a very empowering message to give to those who are bullied by people who continue to spew out hateful words and comments from their mouths. Although the song's style of pop, techno music might draw a person away from the meaningful words, it has a very strong morality that more people should learn about."

Here's the lyric of Titanium:

You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you sayI's talking loudly not saying muchI's cinged

But all your bullets ricochet

Shoot me down, but I get up

 

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire awayRicochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

 

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

 

[Sia:]

Cut me down

But it's you who'll have further to fall

Ghost town and haunted love

Raise yourvoice, sticks and stones may break my bones

I'm talking loudly not saying much

 

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

 

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

 

[Sia:]

Stone-hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run

Stone-hard

 

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but Iwon't fall

I am titanium

 

You shoot me down butI won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium
