Dressed in Black
Sia爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't know who to trust, oh
So I designed a shell
Kept me from Heaven and Hell, oh
And I had hit a low
Was all I let myself know, yeah
Yeah I had locked my heart
I was imprisoned by dark (I was imprisoned by dark)
You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
I was down for the count
Yes I was down, I was out, oh ooh
And I had lost it all
Yes I was scared, I was torn oh
And I took to the night
I'd given in to the fight oh ooh
And I slipped further down
I felt like I had drowned
You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
I was hopeless and broken, you opened the door for me
Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see
That you do for the wounded, what they couldn't seem to, you set them free
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key yeah
You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses
Covered my heart in kisses
The song 'Dressed In Black' by Sia is about a person who has given up on life and love. They have built a shell around themselves to protect themselves from both the good and bad aspects of life. They have hit rock bottom and have locked their heart away, feeling imprisoned by their own emotions. However, someone comes into their life and finds them in their dark state, dressed in black and hiding away in the back. This person then takes their hand and starts to break down their walls, covering their heart in kisses.
The lyrics show the journey of someone who has lost hope in life and love, but then finds someone who helps them embrace it again. The imagery of being dressed in black portrays a sense of sadness and hopelessness, while the use of phrases such as 'covered my heart in kisses' and 'quelled my fears' shows the healing power of love.
Overall, 'Dressed In Black' is a song about finding hope and love after hitting rock bottom.

I had given up
I had lost faith and hope
I didn't know who to trust, oh
I had lost trust in others around me
So I designed a shell
I created a protective barrier around myself
Kept me from Heaven and Hell, oh
I isolated myself from experiences of joy and pain
And I had hit a low
I was at my lowest point
Was all I let myself know, yeah
I allowed myself to stay in a negative mindset
Yeah I had locked my heart
I closed myself off emotionally
I was imprisoned by dark (I was imprisoned by dark)
I was trapped in a state of darkness
You found me dressed in black
You discovered me in a state of sadness
Hiding way up at the back
I was hiding from the world
Life had broken my heart into pieces
I had been hurt deeply by life experiences
You took my hand in yours
You offered me comfort and support
You started breaking down my walls
You helped me to become vulnerable and open
And you covered my heart in kisses
You showed me love and affection
I thought life passed me by
I believed life had left me behind
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
My pain went unnoticed by others
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
I was emotionally shattered
And then you crossed my path
You came into my life unexpectedly
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
You alleviated my anxieties and brought me joy
Then you covered my heart in kisses
You filled my heart with love and affection
I was down for the count
I was defeated and unable to recover
Yes I was down, I was out, oh ooh
I was mentally and emotionally drained
And I had lost it all
I had nothing left
Yes I was scared, I was torn oh
I was afraid and in emotional pain
And I took to the night
I sought refuge in darkness
I'd given in to the fight oh ooh
I had given up and stopped trying
And I slipped further down
I sunk deeper into despair
I felt like I had drowned
I felt overwhelmed and suffocated
I was hopeless and broken, you opened the door for me
You gave me hope and repaired my broken spirit
Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see
You helped me to see the positive in life
That you do for the wounded, what they couldn't seem to, you set them free
You have a special ability to heal those who are hurt
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key yeah
Your actions are delicate and small, yet they have a significant impact
Covered my heart in kisses
You showed me love and affection in a profound way
