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.
Insidiously
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You thought you could climb me
I'm sorry to cut your rope
Bu in you I've lost all hope
Mind you mind me
I haven't seen you lately
Oh how many times you liked to phone
To see if your seed I could sow
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
Mind you mind me
I laugh at your transparency
You're my new best friend
Your fucked up life can I mend
Mind you mind me
I find it interesting to see
When I only offer you a smile, oh how
You forget to dial
Believe me, I know you work
Insidiously
Mind you mind me, you smile so sweetly
I'd call you an acquaintance stop with
Your exaggeration
Mind you mind me
How things can change is a good week
Call me ruthless
But you stretch the truth oh yes
I tell you if that's what you're about
Friends like you I can do without
The lyrics to Sia's song Insidiously can be interpreted as a message from the singer to someone who betrayed or disappointed her in some way. The language is sarcastic and cutting, as if the singer is mocking someone who thought they could climb up to her level or who believed they were close friends with her. The first verse suggests that the person had some kind of business or personal relationship with Sia, and that they were trying to manipulate or use her in some way ("To see if your seed I could sow"). However, Sia has lost all trust and hope in this person, and she is cutting ties with them ("Friends like you I can do without").
In the second verse, Sia seems to be enjoying the fact that this person's life is a mess ("Your fucked up life can I mend"). She sees through their attempts to be friendly and sees them for the manipulative liar they are ("But you stretch the truth oh yes"). The final verse is a declaration of independence and self-respect. Sia is telling this person that they are not true friends, and that she has no interest in being around someone who is insincere and insidious.
Overall, the song is a scathing rebuke to someone who probably deserved it. Sia's lyrics are clever and biting, and they express a sense of disappointment and anger that many listeners will be able to relate to.

Mind you mind me
Listen carefully to what I'm saying
You thought you could climb me
You believed you could control me
I'm sorry to cut your rope
I regret to inform you that we're done
Bu in you I've lost all hope
I've given up on you
I haven't seen you lately
We haven't crossed paths recently
Oh how many times you liked to phone
You used to call me frequently
To see if your seed I could sow
To see if you could manipulate me
I tell you if that's what you're about
If that's your intention
Friends like you I can do without
I don't need friends like you
I laugh at your transparency
I find it amusing how obvious you are
You're my new best friend
You're trying to get close to me again
Your fucked up life can I mend
You want me to fix your problems
I find it interesting to see
I'm intrigued by
When I only offer you a smile, oh how
When I'm only pleasant to you
You forget to dial
You stop contacting me
Believe me, I know you work
I understand how you operate
Insidiously
Slyly and gradually
you smile so sweetly
You seem friendly
I'd call you an acquaintance stop with
I would classify our relationship as casual
Your exaggeration
Your tendency to overstate things
How things can change is a good week
How quickly things can turn
Call me ruthless
Accuse me of being cruel
But you stretch the truth oh yes
You lie frequently

All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the nighttime
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Keep my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
And, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Break down, only alone I will cry out loud
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down, yeah, yeah
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
And, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
