The song is about her boyfriend that got killed by a taxi when she was 21 then getting real depressed. Then she started to sing an got real famous to be yelled at for being ugly then got depressed again ordered alot of drug to kill herself but waited for the right moment and drank all day everyday till she got into rehab and survive the shit she has been going trough. This song tells the story of the second depression the moment i knew the story my whole view on the song changed
Bruh, simply putting her soul in those vocals ❤ Extremely powerful voice (the rasp, crackles, ALL of her inflections only matched by a beautiful message
@@ValeriaGarza44 if you read the lyrics, basically this girl is drinking and pushing her feelings down to ignore the pain and just party like tomorrow doesnt exist. She got rejected, got told shes not gf material but just for fun. Maybe shes the mistress and caught feelings. or maybe shes a prostitute forced to party with clients and telling herself to just push past the pain. Whatever the case, the storyteller's tale is sad, but Sia hides it with incredible singing. Its very artistic
I noticed that alot of comments mentioned that the lyrics sound like they have a depressed tone to them. But if you look at it from another angle, it also sounds like they talk about the fear that comes when embracing true freedom, hanging from the chandelier, fly like a bird in the night! It's an uncomparable sensation to let yourself go and follow your hearts desires even though others will obviously see you and think of you as crazy. "Sun is up, I'm a mess, gotta get out now. Gotta run from this. Here comes the shame, here comes the shame" is the sudden realization that there were some things we might've done in the heat of the moment embracing that freedom that might've been a bit embarrising but hey nobodies perfect🤷🏽♂️! Just gotta learn to live life with no regrets or "won't look down or open my eyes" as Sia put it! To be free is to be brave🦅 It'll be ok guys! don't mind what people have to say! Usually it's because they were to afraid to "live like tomorrow doesn't exist"😉🪽
I understood the lyrics when I realized I was in a never ending cycle of partying and doing drugs. I was a “good time boy” and slept and partied with a lot of people, but never made any real human connections. I thought I only deserve love for my body and couldn’t seek out anything not physical. I tear up every time I hear this song because I remember that after great fun you have to pay a very big price. It hurts so much to be stuck in vicious hands of addiction. With every new party you tell yourself you will change, but then the lonely weekend comes and you suddenly found yourself at parties where only broken people go. Every break of a promise to yourself, every hard drug, every meaningless sex, every rape feels like a part of the souls dies. It’s a heartbreaking song and I hope only a very small percentage of people understand its meaning.
Hi I wanna tell you Jesus Loves You So Much He Gave His Life for our sins so we can be forgiven from our sin and Go To Heaven! Gods Love For Us Is Unconditonal I respect your beleifs!!!
6 months sober and just found this. Really needed to find this at the exact time I found it 🙏 If anyone is struggling you can get sober, it is possible I promise xx
@@andrewwoodley8912 I'm so sad that you're going through this personal hel. I really hope you'll find the strength to break away from this destructive way of living 😢❤. All the best 👍🏻 💝💕
As a kid i was joking about the high notes and the lyrics. Now i truly understand them anf what the lyrics describe "im gonna live like tomorrow dosent exist" represents my impulsivity and "im holding on for dear life" represents me at the brink of mental collapse
Ever since I was a kid I have always been a fan of sia and her music Sias music just hits harder than songs combined I am excited for all her new songs 😍
Brutally beautiful song. When you contemplate the lyrics you understand why it was chosen for the movie Talk to Me and what the main character is doing to herself.
Tell me why I'm about to have a job interview and this song just comes to my head and I decide to play it after a loooong time😭it just gave me comfort and more confidence...May you feel loved from wherever you are this day ❤coz I know i am passing my interview and the excitement I'll feel will spread as love and motivation to you❤️🇰🇪
the fact that i was a kid listening to this song was a bop it still is but now that i am older i can understand what the lyrics actually mean its sad that i can relate
Fact about this song: Sia originally wrote this song for rihanna but later changed her mind and kept it for herself after hearing how good she sounded.
"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" This part hits me at such a deep personal level
Jesus can fill that empty void.... we try to fill it with temporary things, like money, clubs, you name it, I understand how you feel, trust, I suffered with depression and suicide for years, I gave my life, my heart and everything I am to Jesus. . . I got saved, life isn't easy by any means but I definitely was made new and all the anger, depression, suicide and everything negative left me, life is beautiful and Christ has given reasons to live, shown me my worth, and worked in my life more times than I can count, do the same thing I did and I promise you, you'll be healed, God is so real.
Sia is the best singer ever.I have heard this song on a clip and have been trying to find this song for a month or so.I was listening to unstoppable by sis which is an amazing song!I finally found this masterpiece and you have too.I am so glad I have made it here!!!!!!
For ppl who don't get it. Sia literally sings about suicide. "Im gonna swing from the chandelier" literally hanging. Getting so drunk and doing it and this is the last night you are holding on to your life. Living the last night because tomorrow will not exist. She says get out now, won't open my eyes. She literally says "Help, me Im holding on my dear life". Those who dont see this have never been depressed
Recovering alcoholic, fighting to get my life back ever since i put that last drink down and this song breaks my heart for the old me every time i hear it.
This song represents my life! For years and years it was benders hangovers and tears ... I was a total party girl and I was drowning and although I may still stumble I can honestly say I've made it to a place that's better just know if your struggling you can too
@erofimhristov Not every guy!😠 Every time I see someone who's completely lost control of their senses/life because of drugs and/or alcohol, my heart breaks.
@@boefjespost well, you went into the seriousness. I absolutely agree. My reply is stupid and shallow on the context of this amazing song. Just a stupid “guy thing” to say to other guys for fun. Ashamed and embarrassed. Love that song though, it’s one of the greatest in our times by all means.
@@penultimania4295 What are you being so rude for? Keep your comments to yourself I highly doubt you don't know what they actually go through. I know I don't know you or your age but you was being highly childish and disrespectful for saying that
Fun fact: Sia actually asked many singers to sing this song as she was originally a songwriter. They declined it cause they said it was to hard. Then someone said why don’t you go ahead and sing it? And Sia did and it came out as a big sucess.
Put this song as my school alarm and let me say it definitely did it's job on waking me Like after that started playing I letterlly was fully awake I was not sleepy and I was trembling 🤣 But it was a Monday morning with no school so
