Eye of the Needle
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling now
And if I move on
I admit you're gone
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms
Your melody's an art
I won't let the terror in, I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
Step and repeat
Tears fall to the beat
Smile through pain
Feel the acid rain
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms, in my arms, in my arms
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I won't let the terror in, I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
My bags heavy
Been filled by me
They weigh me down
Carry them round
It's all mine all mine
I am blinded by the eye of the needle
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I won't let the terror in, I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I won't let the terror in, I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle

I ain't ready
I am not ready to let go of my feelings for you
I'll hold steady
I will remain strong and keep my emotions in check

Through the eye of the needle
I am trying to pass through a difficult time and overcome my emotions
Step and repeat
I am going through the motions of life, but it feels repetitive and never-ending
Tears fall to the beat
My sadness is a constant presence, like a drumbeat in the background of my life
Smile through pain
I try to put on a brave face and stay positive, even though it hurts
Feel the acid rain
I am overwhelmed with negative emotions that feel like acid eating away at me
My bags heavy
I carry the weight of my emotional baggage with me everywhere I go
Been filled by me
My emotional baggage is a result of my own experiences and choices
They weigh me down
My emotions and memories are a burden that makes me feel heavy and stuck
Carry them round
I bring my emotional baggage with me wherever I go
It's all mine all mine
My emotions and experiences are personal and unique to me
I am blinded by the eye of the needle
The effort to move past my emotions and let go of the past is difficult and overwhelming
