so, what's wrong?
These lyrics contain an unfortunate and glaring logical inconsistency. Sia sings,"You shoot me down, but I won't fall." However, if she has already been shot down, she implies that she has, in fact, fallen. In order to communicate a similar point (i.e., that she is strong! She is titanium!), she should explain that she has indeed fallen down, but has the strength to get back up (because she is made of titanium). To the credit of whoever wrote these lyrics, titanium is often considered the strongest metal pound-for-pound.

You shout it loud, 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 I am titanium 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 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 |
