Chandelier
Valentina Franco Lyrics

Party girls don't get hurt
Girls who constantly party and indulge in reckless behavior often do not allow themselves to feel emotional pain or vulnerability.

Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I have numbed myself to the point where I cannot experience any emotions, and I wonder when I will realize the consequences of this.

I push it down, push it down
I suppress my emotions and try to ignore them, forcing them deep within me.

I'm the one 'for a good time call'
I am the person who is sought after when others are looking for a fun and exciting experience or companionship.

Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
My phone is constantly receiving calls and messages from people who want to engage in wild and exciting activities with me.

I feel the love, feel the love
I perceive the attention and admiration I receive from others as love, even though it may be shallow and temporary.

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
I repetitively engage in a cycle of drinking alcohol to escape my emotions and numb myself further.

Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
I continue drinking excessively until I am no longer able to keep track of the number of drinks I have consumed.

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I plan to live my life in an extravagant and uninhibited manner, metaphorically swinging from a chandelier to symbolize freedom and unrestrained behavior.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
I will live in the present moment, disregarding the consequences or responsibilities of the future.

Like it doesn't exist
I will pretend that the future has no significance or impact on my choices and actions.

I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I will soar through the darkness and embrace my sorrows, allowing myself to experience and process my emotions.

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Despite my reckless behavior and refusal to face reality, I desperately cling to this lifestyle, avoiding any introspection or awareness of the consequences.

Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
I continuously replenish my glass with alcohol until the break of dawn, as I am only holding on to this destructive lifestyle for the duration of the night.

Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
I seek assistance and support because I am desperately holding on to this self-destructive path, refusing to confront the reality around me.

Sun is up, I'm a mess
As the sun rises, it reveals the true state of my life, which is chaotic and disarrayed due to my reckless behavior.

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
I realize the urgency to escape from this destructive lifestyle, to distance myself from the consequences and find redemption.

Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Feelings of guilt and regret are approaching, intensifying the burden I carry due to my past actions.

On for tonight
I continue to hold on to this destructive lifestyle for this one night, refusing to face the reality of my actions.

Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
I am merely clinging to this destructive lifestyle for the duration of the night, unwilling to confront the consequences of my actions.
