- Chandelier Lyrics

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink

Throw em back, till I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

And I'm holding on for dear life,
Won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink

Throw em back till I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

And I'm holding on for dear life,
Won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light,
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life,
won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light,
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

What is the meaning behind Chandelier lyrics?


When we look deeper into its meaning, Sia's 'Chandelier' depicts a character who, using the metaphor of swinging from a chandelier and living like there is no tomorrow, manages to deal with emotional suffering through a wild and carefree life. The chandelier serves as a metaphor for an alluring but sensitive retreat from the world, while the phrase 'one, two, three, drink' that is heard throughout the song points to the act of drinking to forget and not wanting to cope with life's bitterest realities. The main message of the Chandelier lyrics is a mix of party, love, angst, celebration, and joy. However, the song also highlights the need for escapism, emotional struggles, and partying as a means of temporary relief.

To me this song is about someone that lost something precious or someone special to her and she is trying to escape from that sad situation with drinking much and trying not to completely lost her happiness in her life. This is such a tremendous song with a meaningful lyrics that tries to explain the war between your brain and heart in our sad days of this life.
