Sia - Unstoppable Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
The lyrics of Sia's "Chandelier" tell a story of a self-destructive lifestyle and the struggle to escape it. The opening lines, "Party girls don't get hurt, can't feel anything, when will I learn?", depict a persona trying to numb themselves from emotional pain and seeking refuge in partying and hedonism. The singer pushes their emotions down, refusing to confront or acknowledge them.
The repetitive chorus, "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier," metaphorically represents the reckless and chaotic behavior the singer engages in, swinging from one extreme to another. It symbolizes their escape from reality and their desire to live without consequences, as if they were swinging freely from a chandelier.
The mention of counting drinks, "One, two, three, one, two, three, drink, throw 'em back till I lose count," suggests that the singer is indulging in excessive drinking to forget their problems. However, despite this unsustainable lifestyle, they admit to desperately holding on for dear life, avoiding looking down or opening their eyes to the consequences of their actions. The repetition of "help me, I'm holding on for dear life" portrays a cry for support or a lifeline to escape this destructive cycle.
The reference to shame coming and the realization of being a mess imply that there is a knowledge of the negative consequences of their actions, but the singer feels trapped and unable to break free. The song conveys a sense of temporary release and euphoria in the chaotic moments, but ultimately, the persona remains imprisoned by their self-destructive tendencies.
Overall, "Chandelier" by Sia delves into the struggle of addiction, escapism, and the desire for freedom from emotional pain.
