La mayoría de las veces, cuando alguien utiliza la expresión «a prueba de balas» para describir algo, no quiere decir «a prueba de balas». El verdadero significado del término es invencibilidad, ser inquebrantable e imparable. Estos sentimientos son uno de los mejores refuerzos de la confianza en uno mismo, y por eso hay tantos títulos que hablan de una forma u otra de ser a prueba de balas. En este artículo, vamos a echar un vistazo a 33 canciones geniales que hablan de la invencibilidad y los sentimientos que la acompañan.

1. Bulletproof – La Roux

La canción Bulletproof de La Roux es a la que más se suele hacer referencia cuando se habla de este tipo de temas. Se trata de ser a prueba de balas en términos de ausencia de miedo y preocupación cuando vuelves a la escena de las citas. Dejar atrás traumas y emociones del pasado puede ser difícil, pero hay una sensación liberadora en no preocuparse por enamorarse, por lo que los demás piensen de ti o por actuar a causa de tu pasado.

2. Bulletproof – Godsmack

A veces la gente se cree a prueba de balas cuando se trata de cosas concretas. No te puede morder una serpiente si nunca pillas una, y probablemente no compartas secretos con gente que no confía en ti.

3. What I Got – Sublime

What I Got no es la típica canción a prueba de balas. No trata de ser duro, afrontar dificultades o ser indiferente. Este tema clásico de Sublime trata de apreciar la vida que llevas y a la gente que quieres. Lo que importa son tus relaciones y el impacto que tienes en los demás, no las posesiones que tienes. Conocer y aceptar este hecho te permite actuar con amor y ser a prueba de balas en el sentido de que no te dejarás afectar por cosas que no importan.

4. The Champion – Carrie Underwood Feat. Ludacris

Carrie Underwood compuso The Champion para la retransmisión de la NBC de la Super Bowl LII, y la canción se incluyó como bonus track en su álbum Cry Pretty. La canción está llena de clichés y referencias a ser a prueba de balas y estar en la cima de la montaña después de ganarlo todo. Desde la confianza de vivir para la batalla hasta ser imparable, inquebrantable e incapaz de que te hagan daño.

5. Over – Drake

A Drake no le perturba en absoluto el panorama cambiante de su sector ni su c Over fue un gran éxito, en gran parte debido a la personalidad imperturbable que retrata en la canción, que muestra su amor por «hacerlo» y cómo no le importa lo que piensen los demás al respecto. Continúa diciendo que no puede quejarse porque nada le molesta, ya que está a prueba de sus detractores, de los críticos y de todo lo que le rodea.

6. DNA. – Kendrick Lamar

Si buscas una canción que te haga sentir a prueba de balas, no busques más: DNA, de Kendrick Lamar. La canción es increíblemente segura, con el cantante explicando línea tras línea que está hecho para lo que venga y que puede superar cualquier obstáculo. Ha visto lo peor de la gente y siempre sale victorioso, la definición misma de ser a prueba de balas.

7. Till I Collapse – Eminem

Till I Collapse es una canción sobre encontrar fuerzas cuando no puedes más y convertirlas en un chaleco antibalas capaz de mantenerte en pie hasta que literalmente te derrumbes por el esfuerzo. Proclama el lugar de Eminem en el mundo del hip-hop y su motivación para continuar su carrera.

8. Invincible – Adelitas Way

Hablando de canciones de éxito, ¿qué tal un himno del rock sobre ser totalmente invencible e imparable? Invincible de Adelitas Way es una canción sobre llegar a la cima, sea quien sea el rival. Evoca la sensación de estar por fin harto de todo y ponerse un chaleco antibalas de rabia y esfuerzo para conseguir tus deseos. Fue lanzada en 2009 de su álbum autotitulado y nunca recibió el crédito que merecía como una gran canción de hype, lo que la convierte en una gran opción para las rutinas previas a los partidos en el atletismo.

9. POWER – Kanye West

POWER might have been a clue to Kanye’s eventual slide into delirium, but it was still a banger. It’s one of those songs that makes listeners feel like they’re bulletproof or even a god walking among mere mortals. It’s a song where he describes all the power he feels he has in the industry. He reclaims his memories, his childhood and the responsibilities of his life. It’s a great workout song, and one that’s perfect when you need a daily confidence boost.

10. Indestructible – Disturbed

Disturbed’s Indestructible is as much a battle cry as a song about being bulletproof. The hard rock track is about an invincible soldier who is a master of war and who presents himself as bulletproof, alleviating the fears he would normally have when going into battle. It’s a mindset that helps you perform well, whether in battle or as an athlete, but it needs to be managed carefully to avoid making mistakes.

11. Bodies – Drowning Pool

Yes, being bulletproof seems to be the exact opposite of what most of the people in Drowning Pool’s song Bodies have going for them. What makes this song bulletproof is the narrator’s apparent invincibility. He seems totally in control of his - rather violent - situation, and the only person around him is going to make it.

12. Good as Hell – Lizzo

Good As Hell is the best example of a bulletproof song you can find. It embodies the whole idea of being bulletproof in your life, whether it’s respecting yourself, taking the time to make sure you feel good about yourself, not letting yourself be impressed by other people’s opinions and enjoying life despite adversity. Whatever helps you regain your self-confidence or get back on track, it’s important to take the time to do these things.

13. Tubthumping – Chumbawamba

Even bulletproof vests get dented when they stop bullets, so why do you think being knocked down makes you less bullet-resistant? Tubthumping is the perfect anthem for being bulletproof, a mantra that gets you through any challenge that comes your way. It’s a joyful exclamation that says no matter how many times you get knocked down, you’ll get back up and there’s no way you can stay down. There’s a layer of triumph in the song that adds to the sheer willpower it takes to function in this way.

14. Bulletproof Heart – My Chemical Romance

Bulletproof Heart uses incredible layers of imagery to talk about how lovers can be a safe place for each other. When you’re with the person you love, the stresses of life and the challenges you face somehow disappear. In this song, a bulletproof heart means a shield that protects your partner from things that depress or worry them. It’s a beautiful song about how love can empower people and make them unflappable.

15. Feel Invincible – Skillet

Knowing that someone will support you gives you the confidence to do things you couldn’t do alone. Whether it’s God’s love or the support of a good friend, it can completely change your mindset when faced with challenges. Skillet captured this idea perfectly in their song Feel Invincible, a rock song about feeling unstoppable thanks to the people who support you.

16. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor

I Will Survive may not be a song that particularly mentions being bulletproof, but it’s been an anthem of empowerment since its release in 1978. It sums up what it means to persevere against whatever comes your way, letting you know that there’s no shame in being scared at first, but that standing up for yourself is what gets you through. It’s also a powerful piece about individuality, resilience and being ironclad when it comes to taking care of yourself.

17. Ten Feet Tall and Bullet Proof – Travis Tritt

For as long as there have been bullets, alcohol has been said to make people feel bulletproof. It gives many a confidence they wouldn’t otherwise have, as inebriation makes the part of their mind that tells them certain actions aren’t a good idea disappear. Travis Tritt’s song Ten Feet Tall And Bullet Proof tells of an evening at the bar when alcohol made the singer feel invincible, making him want to dance and fight, all the while looking like a fool.

18. Stayin’ Alive – Bee Gees

Stayin’ Alive is about staying strong in the face of adversity and overcoming all obstacles, and what could be more bulletproof than that? It’s inspirational, both as a dance track that has spawned many a craze, and as a song that helps you overcome difficulties. Interestingly, it also contains the perfect rhythm for giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so take note in case this comes in handy one day. It’s a celebration of life, of being bulletproof and fearless.

19. Survival – Muse

Survival is a song about overcoming obstacles and the power of choosing to keep going. It’s about how the choice to survive and the resilience to see it through are all you need to succeed. It’s a powerful testament to willpower and why approaching life with the right mindset makes all the difference. There will always be a challenge or something to pursue, but you’ll never achieve your goals if you don’t decide to do it first.

20. WILSHIRE – Tyler, the Creator

Relationships are delicate enough that getting involved with someone who already has a lover will only compound the problems. But sometimes people think they’re so invincible that it doesn’t matter and everything will work out in their favor. But in general, if they cheat on you to be with you, they’ll cheat on you. Tyler, The Creator sums this up pretty well in his song WILSHIRE, talking about a time when he felt he could get involved with someone who was already involved and how karma came back to bite him later.

21. Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar

Hit Me With Your Best Shot is a classic rock jam that uses being bulletproof as a metaphor for Pat Benatar’s toughness. The image of Pat Benatar standing and waiting for the shots to be fired, unyielding in the face of danger, is meant to represent the fact that she’s not going to be impressed by her lover’s unfair treatment. She’s not going to break down, no matter what he does or how badly he acts, and this song serves as an anthem of empowerment and strength.

22. Unstoppable – Foxy Shazam

When there’s something important to do in life and you have to devote time to it, everything else seems to pull in the opposite direction. But it’s an incredible feeling to overcome that and achieve your goals. Unstoppable is an ode to the perseverance needed to do something meaningful, and to the importance of believing in yourself in difficult times. These aspects form a bulletproof vest around you that makes you, well, unstoppable.

23. Bullet Proof … I Wish I Was – Radiohead

Radiohead have a unique way of framing things that puts them into perspective in a way that many hadn’t thought of before. Their song Bullet Proof … I Wish I Was speaks to the fact that people don’t protect their emotions in a healthy way as often as they should, which can lead to disappointment when we’re not the heroes we thought we were. Most people want to be bulletproof to provide answers and protection for others, but the reality is that this is rarely the case.

24. Heat – 50 Cent

Rapper 50 Cent is probably not the best representative of bullet immunity, at least if that definition means bullets can’t hit him. But if surviving bullets is your goal, he’s your man. Heat is a song of unrelenting power and a declaration that he hasn’t changed because of the fame he’s acquired. He still acts by the rules of the street, but his fame has put him in a position of power. It’s a warning to his enemies not to mess with him.

25. Titanium – David Guetta Feat. Sia

Titanium is considered one of the strongest metals there is, and it’s the perfect word for the title of this song. Alongside Sia, in Titanium David Guetta describes a protagonist who refuses to be broken or let down when people get in his way. Phrases like “I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet” and “You shoot me down, but I get up” embody the idea of being bulletproof, and are more than enough to motivate any listener when they’re not at their best.

26. Singing in the Rain – Simple Plan

Sometimes, being bulletproof simply means not letting events get you down. The narrator of Singing In The Rain has just had his heart broken, a fortune-teller has told him he’s doomed and it’s about to rain on him. Despite this, he sings and dances in the street, thanks to a smile from the person he’s talking to in the song. Not only is he bulletproof, but the song is about how even small gestures can give us the fuel we need to push on through life’s bad times.

27. Bulletproof – The Score FEat. XYLØ

The Score’s Bulletproof is not a song of confidence or one designed to empower the listener. It serves as an outlet for the singer, the song’s narrator sharing all his doubts, fears and overwhelming sadness. It’s a song that wishes it were bulletproof, that it didn’t feel any of these things. And yet, it resonates with fans because it’s a simple wish that everyone has made at one time or another.

28. As Good As I Once Was – Toby Keith

Feeling bulletproof when you’re not can lead to serious problems. On Toby Keith’s hit As Good As I Once Was, the singer gives in to the urge to behave like a 20-year-old again, drinking too much and looking for fights he can’t win. Things go badly for him, he gets beaten up and wakes up with quite a hangover. In the end, he has to accept that he’s not as good at these things as he was in his youth, proving that age catches up with everyone.

29. Unstoppable – Sia

Sia uses sunglasses and emotional armor as body armor in her 2016 single Unstoppable. These elements make her feel more confident and powerful, helping her to avoid showing her emotions in public and looking weak. The psychological armor has its drawbacks, however, as it ends up cutting off many of her important relationships. Rather than feeling exposed or vulnerable, she chooses to be bulletproof, invincible and cold.

30. Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) – Kelly Clarkson

There’s an old saying that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, and in many cases, it’s true. Kelly Clarkson took this message to heart when recording her single Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) in 2012, a song that describes how she picked herself up after a difficult divorce. The pain and trauma were real, but she survived and learned valuable lessons that will stay with her through life, and nothing is more bulletproof than that.

31. Hold My Beer – Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen

Hold my beer is a phrase almost always uttered just before someone does something stupid, whether it’s a stunt or the start of a fight. This song by Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen evokes the bad decisions people can make when they’re surrounded by their friends and feel confident. It’s unclear whether this feeling of confidence comes from the beer, the friends or the fear of looking like a wimp in front of them.

32. Dangerous Woman – Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande describes a dangerous woman as someone who isn’t afraid to take a stand, be herself and be honest. For her, that’s the definition of a bulletproof woman, and she embodied it in her 2016 slow jam, Dangerous Woman. This track revealed her wild side, unafraid of criticism or opinion, totally locked into who she wanted to be.

33. bulletproof – Jamie Fine

There are many things that can make you feel bulletproof, and some of them give you the characteristics you need to be truly invincible. Jamie Fine’s bulletproof song is about growing up with her family and all the mistakes she made navigating life.
