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 ↴
You are the feel, and knew it anyway
Take a chance, it wasn't what you know
Take my hand, and don't let go
Oh, ooh ooh
And you can do it,
Don't break
You're safe
Yes, you can do it
Don't break
Yeah, you'll pull through it,
You're safe
Tell her on how you feel,
Give her every say she needs to hear
Give your heart, and say come take it
And she will see you're a good man
Oh, ooh ooh
And you can do it,
Don't break
Yeah, you'll pull through it,
You're safe
Yes, you can do it
Don't break
Yeah, you'll pull through it,
You're safe
Yes, you can do it,
Don't break
Yeah, you'll pull through it,
You're safe
The lyrics of Salted Wound by Sia capture the essence of empowering someone who has been feeling alone and helpless. The opening lines “Lonely float got in the way, You are the feel, and knew it anyway” suggest that the person has been feeling lost and isolated when the singer steps in as a companion. The singer believes that the troubled individual should take a chance, even if it isn’t something they are familiar with, and they should hold onto the singer's hand, believing that things will turn out safe and sound. The chorus of the song reinforces this positive message, indicating that the person in distress has the willpower to overcome their troubles and come out of it stronger - “And you can do it, Don't break, Yeah, you'll pull through it, You're safe”.
Towards the end of the song, the singer encourages the individual to open up and express their feelings, and encourages them to give their heart to someone who deserves it. The line “And she will see you're a good man” might suggest a specific person that the individual might want to pursue, but it could also be a generic statement about the power of honesty, transparency, vulnerability, and love. Overall, the song Salted Wound by Sia conveys a positive message of support, kindness, and strength during times of difficulty.

Lyrics for people who can't understand her :)
Btw. The way she sings so weird is because she don't want people to hear lyrics. She want to show them her emotions :)

I don't want to buy this song now because I'm giving money to the franchise. Which sucks because it's a nice song.
