In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's usually that something historical has come up
And might've feel really personal to us (yes)
Really rejecting
But I'm really good at helping counsel for that stuff, so
Just always let me know, I'm always here
When the past comes to day
Let your tears runaway
I am here, my baby
Let your wing make me sing
On my firstborn earthling
So much joy, do you bring
Little wind, little wind
Oh, will you, oh, will you
Treat her with the tenderness
I promise you, I promise you
I'll treat her with the kindness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
So when you wanna cry
Just know that I'll be by your side
And when you wanna hide
I'll give you wings so you can fly, oh
Diamond eyes (diamond eyes)
Diamond eyes (diamond eyes)
Diamond eyes (diamond eyes)
Diamond eyes
If I asked you to dance
Would you please hold my hand?
You know I'm such a fiend
Of that old school romance
You're an endless sunset
That I'll never ever forget
You're my heartbeat, my breath
You're my life, you're my death
I promise you, I promise you

Oh, will you, oh, will you

So when you wanna cry
Just know that I'll be by your side
And when you wanna hide

I wanna love you tonight
My baby, with those diamond eyes, oh
