Through the spouse, I was introduced to David Guetta‘s music. While I’ve enjoyed most of what I’ve heard by him, my favorite of his songs has to be “Titanium,” which features Sia. There are a lot of interpretations out there as to the song’s meaning — that it’s about standing up to an abusive spouse, coping with verbal abuse, and being bullied. No matter how you interpret it, I interpret it as saying that it will take a lot to knock me down and that I’m stronger than others (and even I) realize. However you interpret it, I think it’s a pretty kick-ass song.
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
I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose / Fire away, fire away / Ricochet, you take your aim / Fire away, fire away / You shoot me down but I won’t fall / I am titanium / You shoot me down but I won’t fall / I am titanium
Cut me down / But it’s you who 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 / 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
Stone-hard, machine gun / Firing at the ones who run / Stone-hard as bulletproof glass
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
