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 to 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 should not 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 its not us who will be hurt 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 moral
that more people should learn about."
Here's the lyric of Titanium:
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
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
[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 your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud 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
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 as bulletproof glass
[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
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
