Chandelier
B.o.B (feat. Lauriana Mae) Lyrics

Hold me when I’m down
When I hit rock bottom, I need someone to hold me and support me.

Bury my soul underneath the ground
When I die, bury my soul in the earth so I can return to nature.

Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
I want to keep living and feeling alive, even in difficult times.

Shining like a chandelier
I want to be a bright and beautiful presence in the world.

What’s a song if it don’t have words?
Songs are made to convey messages and emotions, and without words they lose their meaning.

What’s the word if it don’t get heard
Words only matter if they are listened to and understood by others.

You can paint it anyway that you like
You have the ability to shape your reality and perception of the world.

How can you get the picture if it come out blurred
If things are unclear or uncertain, it's hard to understand what's going on.

What life taught me can’t be unlearned
Experiences shape who you are and what you know, and you can't forget or undo them.

And every bridge can’t be unburned
Once you sever a connection, it can be hard or impossible to rebuild it.

You can’t wait ‘til you get your turn
You can't just wait around for good things to happen to you; you have to make them happen.

I could try to make it home but you’re still on third
There may be obstacles or setbacks that prevent me from reaching my goals, even if I'm trying my best.

Look, your whole life need a renovation
Sometimes you need to shake things up and make changes in your life for the better.

Yea, let me give you a demonstration
I can show you how to change your life and make it better.

No limitations, no intimidation
There should be nothing holding you back from achieving your goals, and you should not be afraid to try.

I’m tryna live good, that’s an understatement
I'm doing my best to live my best life.

They say life’s about choices
People often say that your life is defined by the choices you make.

In the face of defeat I declined
Even when things are hard or seem like they're going poorly, I won't give up.

Put your soul into everything, never back down
To succeed in life, you need to put all your effort and passion into what you do, and not give up when things are tough.

That’s how you leave a legacy behind
If you do your best and work hard, you can leave a lasting impact on the world even after you're gone.

The world don’t stop so we don’t quit
Even when the world keeps moving forward and challenges seem insurmountable, we can't give up or stop trying.

The show goes on, tomorrow’s here today
No matter what happens, life keeps moving forward and we have to keep going with it.

So live your life and do your thing
Everyone should live their lives in their own way and do what makes them happy.

Enjoy each moment, it could slip away
Life is short and unpredictable, so it's important to appreciate every moment.

'Cause nothing is promised, nothing is free
There are no guarantees in life and everything requires effort and sacrifice.

There ain't no receipts or guarantees
You can't expect to get anything without first putting in the work and taking risks.

When it’s done, there will be no severance fee
When your time is up or you reach the end of something, there is no going back or chance to try again.

Just a far away dream you’ve yet to reach
Some things in life may seem impossible or far off, but they are still worth striving for.

That’s why you have to go all out for it
If you want to succeed in life, you have to give it your all and try your hardest.

No half-time, gotta ball out for it
You can't go halfway; to succeed, you have to give it your all and put in the effort.

Full court press, life is the test
Life is challenging and requires constant effort and hard work.

Can’t play sick, can’t call out for it
You can't take a break or give up when things get hard or you don't feel well.

'Cause I don’t wanna fall, no skydive
I don't want to fail or fall short of my goals when it matters most.

Stand tall through it all, that’s a high rise
To succeed in life, you need to keep standing tall and not give up, no matter what obstacles come your way.

Make a something out of absolutely nothing
Sometimes you have to start with very little and create something amazing through hard work and effort.

That’s the definition of a survivor
If you can overcome challenges and succeed despite adversity, you are a true survivor.

So let me be like the trees
I want to be grounded and strong like a tree.

Where I can rustle my leaves
I want to be able to express myself and show my strength and resilience.

To join the wind in the sky
I want to be able to move and change with the circumstances around me.

If this was all a mistake, I’d rather leave this place
If life isn't worth living or things seem hopeless, I would rather not exist at all.

Than be a breathing lie
I would rather not pretend that everything is okay and live an inauthentic life.

Just keep me shining like a chandelier
No matter what happens in life, I want to keep shining and being a bright presence in the world.
