Sia
Diplo/Sia/The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turn my face towards the warm night sky
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above five hundred smiles
Oh I used to think (she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this? (For a moment like this?)
Oh, now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
Now I find myself here, and it's time
Yes this is real, and it's a gold-mine
I'm not afraid to fly
When it's above five hundred smiles
Oh I used to think (she used to think)
What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this?
This moment, this gift (for a moment like this?)
Oh, now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
One thing I know it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So, look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
My big opportunity
I won't waste it, I guarantee

Under the glow of the very bright lights
I am standing under the bright lights and facing the sky
I turn my face towards the warm night sky
I am looking towards the sky at night
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
I am not afraid of being watched by many people
When they're above five hundred smiles
As long as I see happy faces of at least 500 people
Oh I used to think (she used to think)
In the past, I used to believe
What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give)
What wouldn't I do or sacrifice
For a moment like this? (For a moment like this?)
For an opportunity like this
This moment this gift
This opportunity is a precious gift
Oh, now look at me and this opportunity
Now, I have this opportunity in front of me
Is standing right in front of me
Is literally standing in front of me
But one thing I know it's only part luck and so
I acknowledge that luck is also a factor
I'm putting on my best show
I'm giving my best performance
Under the spotlight I'm starting my life
This is the beginning of my dream coming true
Big dreams becoming real tonight
My big dreams are finally coming true tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
Witness this moment and opportunity that I have
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
You are here to witness my big moment, do you see?
Now I find myself here, and it's time
I am here now, and it's time to shine
Yes this is real, and it's a gold-mine
This opportunity is real, and it's a lucrative one
I'm not afraid to fly
I am not scared to take a risk
When it's above five hundred smiles
As long as I see happy faces of at least 500 people
My big opportunity
This is my major opportunity
I won't waste it, I guarantee
I promise you, I won't squander this chance

And another one bites the dust
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might've got to be with one
Why not fight this war without weapons?
And I want it and I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
And let's be clear, I trust no one
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart
And I will stay up through the night
Let's be clear, I won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I walked through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
And I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
You did not break me (You did not break me, no, no)
I'm still fighting for peace
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart...
@zeroprmscs
This was basically the original version. I really love The Weekend vocals in this one, they’re deeply emotional and fits perfectly with those verses
