Chandelier
Kain Rivers Lyrics
Jump to: 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
Party girls don't get hurt
Girls who party and have a carefree lifestyle don't experience emotional pain
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I am numb and unable to feel emotions, wondering when I will finally understand
I push it down, push it down
I suppress my emotions and ignore them
I'm the one 'for a good time call'
I am known as the person to contact when someone wants to have fun or a good time
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
My phone is constantly receiving calls and messages, and people are showing up at my door
I feel the love, feel the love
Despite my numbness, I can still sense the love and affection from others
1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink 1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
I count and drink to forget my troubles
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I keep drinking until I can no longer keep track of how much I've consumed
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
I want to let go and live recklessly
From the chandelier
In a wild and extravagant manner
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
I will live as if there is no future, without consequences
Like it doesn't exist
As if the future has no impact on my actions
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
I will soar freely, unburdened, during the nighttime
Feel my tears as they dry
I am aware of my tears, but I let them dry without addressing my emotional pain
But I'm holding on for dear life
Despite my reckless behavior, I am desperately clinging to life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
I refuse to face reality or acknowledge the truth
Keep my glass full until morning light
I continuously drink throughout the night until the morning comes
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
I am only surviving in the present moment
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
I am pleading for assistance while desperately trying to stay alive
Sun is up, I'm a mess
As the sun rises, I realize the chaotic state I am in
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
I feel the urgency to escape and flee from my current situation
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Feelings of guilt and remorse are approaching
On for tonight
I am determined to hold on and survive for the remainder of the night
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Because all I can do is endure and survive until the night is over
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
I am simply trying to stay alive until the night passes
On for tonight, on for tonight
Persisting and enduring throughout the course of the night
