Buttons Lyrics

Cover art for Buttons lyrics by Sia

i agree with clairvoyance... and also i didn´t know the term snafu before (i'm not a native english speaker)... but anyway... i love this song, this new record has revived my admiration for sia and turned me into a fan!

i think that when she says: walk away from me, lover... it´s not that she really WANTS the lover to go... at least taken from how i relate to it... i´d say it´s fear, fear of being rejected or f%&ing it up (like you've done in the past: hence the ghosts) and that fear makes you sometimes get into that defensive pattern of pushing the other away even if -maybe- you'd love it if the relationship could work...

snafu! hehe... great...

the humour with which she dressed the topic though, it's so human and real, it's brilliant!

PS. I also love how the first advertisement under this song's lyrics is "Depression Cured in 3 Min" that's right... the three minutes that the song lasts, & then i play it again
