Broke down, thought that I would drown
Hope that I've been found, before I hit the ground
Some days out the corner of my eye, hey
Saw you weeping, saw you creeping
Saw you sneaking in the shadow's long
The fear so strong
Saw you out the corner of my eye
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I'mma savor it
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I remember when
(Reaper)
You came to take me away
So close I was to heaven's gates
But no baby, no baby, not today
Oh, you tried to track me down
You followed me like the darkest cloud
But no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh reaper
(Reaper) Oh no baby, no baby, not today
So come back when I'm good and old
I got drinks to drink, and men to hold
I got good things to do with my life, yeah
Oh, I wanna dance in the open breeze
Feel the wind in my hair, hear the ocean sing
I got good things to feel in my life, yeah
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I'mma savor it
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I remember when
(Reaper)
You came to take me away
So close I was to heaven's gates
But no baby, no baby, not today
Oh, you tried to track me down
You followed me like the darkest cloud
But no baby, no baby, not today
(Reaper) Oh reaper

For me, this song is about depression 'talking' you into committing suicide. But no, she's feeling good and she Has a lot more to see, do and feels still! She's not ready to die, even though her depression says she is. I absolutely love this song, because at first it just sounds like a nice pop song but when you listen to it closely, you find the meaning behind it.
If I were on my left mind I would think this song talks about being young but afraid of death, the fear of dying too young, almost like Sia is looking back at all the possibilities of death and looking at that shadow and just telling it not today I still wanna do more in my life, she doesn't want to die alone and doing nothing she would rather be with a man in her arms or a drink in her hand, anything besides dying alone, where she also keeps saying you tried to track me down and followed me like the darkest cloud.
but in my own thinking looking at how no one knew who Sia was and who she is, the media became so obsessed with her and wanting to see her, she wanted a private life so much almost as though she was afraid of being reaped apart by the world and the media. That could be the reason why she wrote the song and now she opens up about how they become so obsessed with her and she probably regards them as reapers who came to take her away. But I could be wrong.
