I am 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
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

感じた痛みはいつか君に fall
戻らない あの日の love
これ以上 言葉なんで意味などない
I'm talking loud, not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
恐れることはない
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
何にも負けない
I am titanium

I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone hard, machine gun, fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
何にも負けない I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
絶対負けない I am titanium

I am titanium

    Pretty simple I think. I laugh sometimes at the crazy meaning suggestions that people come up with on here. Usually a song can mean whatever you want or need it to mean for yourself. In this case I think it is a concrete black and white meaning. Its simply about being stronger than those around you, whether it is a bully, ex, parents, etc. If someone is trying to cut you down, then you have to be harder than that, Titanium. Pretty straight forward I believe.

    My Interpretation

    Its finally here...when you watch the video, you see a child who is special. We all know what many feel about special children: they are generally afraid, scared and withdrawn. This child must create an inner strength in order to survive. No matter the obstacles, keep going, life is hard, but only if you let it beat you down. This song is an inspiration to those in need such as: developmentally delayed, Autism, Down Sydrome, ADHD, Cerebral palsy and more...even when this song is replaced by new songs, this one will remain one of my favorite. The power of both Guetta's beats and Sia's voice bring the lyrics alive with meaning. Thank you both. Yes, I live with Autism.

    to me, this song tells a story of overcoming everything that life throws at you, and coming up on top in the end. personal meaning to me... i suppose.

    I just love it. I see this as a song about not letting other people getting in the way of what you want, and just going for it. A real self esteem booster of a song.

    She is saying I am tough, I can take it, BRING IT....I won't let you tear me down no matter how hard you try. In fact, I will rise above it. Very empowering...I love it!

    I think this song means people can say what they like, but the writer doesn't care and won't take the comments to heart. I love this song. Epic beat from Guetta and awesome lyrics. <3 x

    I think this song is about building a protective shell around yourself and refusing to fall down. I think this song was meant to try to ignore the desperation and fear you are feeling and daring someone to bring it on.

    "I'm bulletproof nothing to lose' You feel as if you have nothing left to lose, and are scared to keep moving on, but you have made yourself bullet proof in your mind.

    I think the meaning of this is people can say or do what they like but don't stand for it you are better then that. You are stronger then that and nothing can stand in the way of what you want.

    This song, at least to me, is about refusing to admit defeat, grinding and pounding your way to the top despite the fears, second guesses and self doubt that one may have.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
