(Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug)
(Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug)
(Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it)

Ayy, I'm the one to take you home
I let the rain wash down, clean up my bones, yeah
I'm not the one to stay long
Call me on the weekends when you're feelin' alone
I keep two guns by my arm
Dance in the dark like the sapphire stones
This girl won't leave me alone
She say I'm too much, I don't care, I'm a dog to the bone

Pink pants, dancing, two pills, I'm romancin' (come on here, baby)
All up in my face and she acting all manic
Champagne and your dress, got me acting all romantic
I don't feel like talking, we can listen to the static

Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it
Chandeliers on chandeliers, I know you love it (love it)
Baby girl, you're my drug and you deserve it (deserve it)
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it

I'm a product dressed in products
You got problems, we got problems, let's solve 'em
Girl, I know times like these get harder
Money team, Sadboys stay green dressed in Prada
For a sellout never changing shots, I call 'em
Where am I now? What I did? I don't deserve this
Where I leave my heart, is my home
I let the rain wash down, clean up my bones 'cause I earned it

Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug
Chandeliers on chandeliers, my love, 'cause I love it
Chandeliers on chandeliers, I know you love it (love it)
Baby girl, you're my drug and you deserve it (deserve it)
Chandeliers on chandeliers, I know you love it (love it)
Baby girl, you're my drug and you deserve it

Pink pants, dancing, two pills, I'm romancin' (come on here, baby)
All up in my face and she acting all manic




Champagne and your dress, got me acting all romantic
I don't feel like talking, we can listen to the static

Overall Meaning

The song "Chandelier" by Yung Lean seems to be about a love-hate relationship with drugs and addiction. This is clear from the repeated line "Chandeliers on chandeliers, my drug" and the reference to two pills being taken while dancing in pink pants. The singer seems to be using drugs as a way to cope with loneliness and pain, but also recognizes the negative effects they have on their life. This is expressed in the line "this girl won't leave me alone, she say I'm too much, I don't care, I'm a dog to the bone." It's like he knows the drugs are hurting his relationships, but he can't stop.


The chorus seems to suggest that the singer's love for drugs is like a love affair, with chandeliers being a decadent symbol of excess and luxury that parallels his addiction. He also acknowledges that his drug use is a problem, but he still loves it. The second verse talks about the difficulties in life, but also acknowledges the rewards that come with hard work, as symbolized by the line "I let the rain wash down, clean up my bones 'cause I earned it." This alludes to the idea that he's willing to suffer through the negative effects of drug addiction because he feels he deserves to reward himself for his hard work.
