Chandelier
Coco Jones Lyrics

Party girls don't get hurt
People who live a carefree, party lifestyle try to avoid emotional pain and vulnerability.

Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
Despite trying to numb their emotions, they still yearn to experience true feelings and wonder when they will understand how to do so.

I push it down, push it down
They suppress their emotions and refuse to confront them.

I'm the one 'for a good time call'
They are known as someone who is always up for a fun time and are frequently sought after for that reason.

Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my Doorbell
Their phone keeps buzzing and ringing with people trying to contact them to have a good time.

I feel the love, feel the love
They experience a temporary sense of love and connection during these party moments.

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
They repeatedly engage in a cycle of drinking to the point of losing count to escape their emotions.

Throw 'em back till I lose count
They continue drinking until they can no longer keep track of how much they've had.

I wanna swing from the chandelier
They desire to let loose and have a carefree, reckless lifestyle.

I wanna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
They yearn to live without worrying about the consequences or responsibilities of the future.

Like it doesn't exist
They want to completely disregard the existence of tomorrow.

I wanna fly like a bird through the night
They wish to experience a sense of freedom and escape from their problems, similar to how a bird soars through the night sky.

Feel my tears as they dry
They desire to confront their emotions and let their tears dry naturally, as opposed to suppressing them.

Sun is up, I'm a mess
When the morning comes and they sober up, they realize the chaotic state they're in.

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
They feel the urge to escape from the consequences and shame of their actions.

Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
They anticipate and acknowledge the overwhelming feeling of shame that accompanies their lifestyle.

I'm holdin' on for tonight
They are desperately clinging onto the present moment, refusing to let go.

Won't look down, won't open my eyes
They are determined to avoid facing the reality of their situation and the pain it may bring.

Keep my glass full until mornin' light
They continually drink to keep their glass full until the morning comes, avoiding the need to confront their emotions.

'Cause I'm just holdin' on for tonight
They are only enduring and surviving for the current night, refusing to focus on the long-term consequences.

I wanna fly like a bird through the night
Similar to before, they yearn for the sense of freedom and escape that comes from flying through the night.

I'm just holdin' on for tonight
Once again, they emphasize their desperate clinging onto the present moment and avoiding the future.

Fill my glass full until mornin' light
They want to continually refill their glass with alcohol until the morning comes, prolonging their avoidance of emotions.

Tonight, on for tonight, for tonight
They reiterate their focus on the present night, emphasizing their unwillingness to address the consequences or responsibilities of the future.
