Chandelier - Sia


No one seems to understand how obsessed I am with this song. It has been stuck in my head for about 3 days now, with no sign of unsticking. I have loved Sia since I first heard I Go To Sleep on an episode of Dollhouse, and while Chandelier is very different in both tone and style, it does have a similar effect on my mind. That is to say, I can't get it out. And I love the lyrics, with a dash of narcissism, because they are very much like something I would write. But better.

Party girls don't get hurt
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 blowing up, they're ringing my doorbell
I feel the love, I feel the love

1,2,3 1,2,3 Drink
1,2,3 1,2,3 Drink
1,2,3 1,2,3 Drink
Throw 'em back til 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

And I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
Cuz 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
Cuz I'm just holding 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

And then there's this:
