“One Million Bullets” is a song featured on Sia’s seventh album, This Is Acting. Sia announced the surprise release of this single on November 27, 2015.
Much like her previous release “Bird Set Free”, “One Million Bullets” sees Sia and an unnamed person in a tumultuous and tortured position. It is clear that Sia is willing to take one million bullets to protect the unnamed person but questions the other person if they would do the same for her.
“One Million Bullets” is a soulful and powerful uptempo that Sia is known for. It is also the only original song written for this album specifically.
Lyrics of One Million Bullets
Under the moonlight
Weathering with your warm embrace
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I feel so safe here
Baby we're worth the wait
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I picked the wrong kind
Time after time
I drank from the poisoned wine
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I picked the wrong kind
But baby you're alright
Yeah, baby I seen the light
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Danger is coming, a danger is coming
A danger is coming, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
The war has been won here, the war has been won here, he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he
Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe
Yeah, one million bullets can come my way
But I want you to know that, I'd take a million babe
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
'Cause I'd take (one million bullets babe)
If you were a poet and I was a faultless muse
If you were the hero, yeah, I'd take a bullet for you (oh-oh-oh-oh)
So take me in your arms, take me for all I have (oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I'd give my life for one of your belly laughs (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Danger is coming, a danger is coming
A danger is coming, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
The war has been won here, the war has been won here he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he
Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe
Yeah, one million bullets can come my way
But I want you to know that, I'd take a million babe
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
How many will you take?
'Cause I'd take, one million bullets babe
