Chandelier
Normandie Lyrics

Party girls don't get hurt
Girls who are always partying don't really care about getting hurt or the consequences of their actions.

Can't feel anything, when will I learn
Despite being reckless and not caring about getting hurt, the singer is still unable to fully numb the pain they feel.

I push it down, push it down
The singer copes with their pain by trying to ignore it and suppress their emotions.

I'm the one "for a good time call"
The artist is seen as a party girl who is always up for having fun.

Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
The artist is very popular and constantly receiving calls and visitors from people looking to party with them.

I feel the love, feel the love
The attention and popularity the singer receives from partying is a form of validation and love for them.

1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 drink
The singer is counting the number of drinks they are having, implying they are drinking excessively.

Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count
The artist is drinking so much that they are losing track of how many drinks they are having.

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
The artist is using the image of swinging from a chandelier to represent their wild and reckless behavior while partying.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist
The artist is living in the moment and not thinking about the consequences or the future.

I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
Despite their reckless behavior, the singer is still deeply emotional and feels their pain even as they try to ignore it.

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
The artist is in a state of desperation and is holding on to their lifestyle for dear life, but is afraid to confront the reality of their situation.

Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cos I'm just holding on for tonight
The singer is clinging to their partying lifestyle and trying to avoid facing the consequences of their actions by drinking all night.

Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
The singer is admitting that they need help, but is still too afraid to face their problems head on.

Sun is up, I'm a mess
As the night goes on, the singer becomes more of a mess and their problems become more apparent.

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
The artist is feeling overwhelmed and wants to escape from their problems and the consequences of their actions.

Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
The artist anticipates feeling ashamed and guilty about their behavior once they sober up and face reality.
