Chandelier
B.o.B; Lauriana Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
What’s a song if it don’t have words?
What’s the word if it don’t get heard
You can paint it anyway that you like
What life taught me can’t be unlearned
And every bridge can’t be unburned
You can’t wait ‘til you get your turn
I could try to make it home but you’re still on third
Look, your whole life need a renovation
Yea, let me give you a demonstration
No limitations, no intimidation
I’m tryna live good, that’s an understatement
They say life’s about choices
In the face of defeat I declined
Put your soul into everything, never back down
That’s how you leave a legacy behind
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
The world don’t stop so we don’t quit
The show goes on, tomorrow’s here today
So live your life and do your thing
Enjoy each moment, it could slip away
'Cause nothing is promised, nothing is free
There ain't no receipts or guarantees
When it’s done, there will be no severance fee
Just a far away dream you’ve yet to reach
That’s why you have to go all out for it
No half-time, gotta ball out for it
Full court press, life is the test
Can’t play sick, can’t call out for it
'Cause I don’t wanna fall, no skydive
Stand tall through it all, that’s a high rise
Make a something out of absolutely nothing
That’s the definition of a survivor
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
So let me be like the trees
Where I can rustle my leaves
To join the wind in the sky
If this was all a mistake, I’d rather leave this place
Than be a breathing lie
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
Just keep me shining like a chandelier
Just keep me shining like a chandelier
Hold me when I’m down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
The song "Chandelier" by B.o.B and Lauriana Mae is a powerful expression of resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics urge the listeners to hold on tight during difficult times, to bury their souls deep within the ground and to let their hearts keep beating, shining like a chandelier. The song emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the willingness to do what it takes to achieve one's dreams. The chorus, repeated several times throughout the song, encourages the listener to keep shining, to be a light in the darkness, even when things seem uncertain.
The verses of the song continue this theme, emphasizing the importance of making the most of every moment and never giving up. Life is a test, and one must give it their all, never half-assing anything or calling out when things get tough. The song acknowledges the difficulties and setbacks that one may face in life, but it also instills a sense of hope and belief in oneself. The bridge of the song, "So let me be like the trees, where I can rustle my leaves, to join the wind in the sky," is a beautiful metaphor for the freedom and resilience that can be found within oneself.
In essence, "Chandelier" is a song that speaks to the human spirit, urging us to keep moving forward no matter what. It teaches us to be unafraid of our dreams, to be unashamed of our struggles, and to always keep shining no matter how dark things may seem.

Life is precious and fleeting, cherish it

We have to work hard and be grateful for what we have
There ain't no receipts or guarantees
Success and happiness are not guaranteed, be prepared to face challenges
When it’s done, there will be no severance fee
Life is not fair, we have to accept that
Just a far away dream you’ve yet to reach
Ambition is important, but we have to be patient and persistent
That’s why you have to go all out for it
Give it your all, don't hold back
No half-time, gotta ball out for it
Don't take breaks or shortcuts, give 100%
Full court press, life is the test
Life is challenging and unpredictable, but we have to keep going
Can’t play sick, can’t call out for it
We have to face our problems and deal with them
'Cause I don’t wanna fall, no skydive
I don't want to fail or take unnecessary risks
Stand tall through it all, that’s a high rise
Be resilient and determined, like a skyscraper
Make a something out of absolutely nothing
Be creative and resourceful, turn challenges into opportunities
That’s the definition of a survivor
Overcoming challenges and adversity is a mark of strength
So let me be like the trees
I aspire to be grounded and adaptable, like a tree
Where I can rustle my leaves
Express myself and grow, even in changing circumstances
To join the wind in the sky
Embrace new opportunities and experiences
If this was all a mistake, I’d rather leave this place
I'd rather face my problems and move on, than live in denial
Than be a breathing lie
Living a fake or dishonest life is not fulfilling
Just keep me shining like a chandelier
I want to be a symbol of hope, even in the darkest times
Hold me when I’m down
Be there for me when I'm struggling
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Help me find peace and closure
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Encourage me to keep fighting and never give up

This is actually one of the best songs I've ever heard, and that's mostly because both singers perfectly compliment each other instead of intruding like many other songs. Definitely one of the best adds on my playlist, I'm in love.

I didn't think that any other voice would penetrate my soul, besides the voice of Mylene Farmer. But no. This happened. Now I love this voice and this timbre and the songs of Lauriana Mae. Thank you!!!!❤💚💜

This song has helped me through alot. This was the only song i can listen to as soon as i heard of my uncles death and i never understood why. trying to deal with his death was and still is one of the hardest things i have to endure. Theres even some moments where i still think he is alive. his death hurt me so much to the point that i dont remember nor do i want to remember the day of his death. I had so many thoughts running through my head when this happened and all i wanted to do was end all the pain and suffering i felt. This song was the only way i truly could forget about it all. A year later, i lost yet another uncle and all i could think of is coming back to this song and listening to it over and over while i was alone in my room. Even when my dear grandma mama mickie died, the only comfort i ever found and was able to deal with all there deaths was this song. So i truly want to thank B.o.B and Lauriana Mae for creating such a beautiful piece of art. and R.I.P Tio Marino, Tio Jose, and Mama Mickie. I miss you guys
