Hellen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
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
But 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
But 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
Oh, 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
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
The song "Chandelier" by Sia is an ode to the power of addiction and its effect on people. The lyrics speak of a party girl who lives for the moment and can't feel anything unless she’s drunk. She’s constantly being called for a wild night and she lives in the moment, dancing the night away without a care in the world. However, when the party ends, she’s left alone and ashamed.
The chorus of "Chandelier" is the most memorable part of the song and is repeated throughout. Sia sings that she is going to swing from the chandelier, when she feels alive and free. She wants to live like tomorrow doesn't exist, in the moment and letting all her emotions out. The lyrics further describe that she's holding on for dear life, unwilling to let go of the high that her addiction brings until daylight, and is overwhelmed by the shame when it's over.
The song is a brutally honest commentary of addiction and how it can turn someone's world upside down. The inspiration of the song came from the stories of a close friend of Sia's who struggled with addiction. The raw emotion and honesty in the lyrics are what makes the song so relatable and impactful.
