Chandelier Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Madilada 

Cover art for Chandelier lyrics by Sia

From my point of view, Chandelier portrays an attempt to escape from a broken heart through alcohol. The way Sia sings the lyrics "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier" sounds desperate and hopeful. She wants so badly to not appear broken, but instead glorious and happy. She puts on a show, in hope that the show will truly become her life. However, the love this party girl feels from the people blowing up her phone, taking shots with her, and sleeping with her, will not replace the love that she craves from another person, and ultimately, when the sun comes up, she will have accumulated shame, and an engorged sense of emptiness.

Maybe that's why Sia refused to sing this song showing her face... To portray the negative aspect of her ways of feeling alive through drinking and partying. She fills a void, being stuck, emptiness, while the girl dances and basically shows the happiness, complete side. J don't know....just a thought

@Madilada sorry because my englis.... party girls don't get hurt... I'm a party girl (I'm a dancer for a strip club) Can't feel anything, when will I learn I push it down, push it down ... at the first you feel strange, then you just don't feel anything 1,2,3, drink.... well, it's hard to explain when you don't know the lenguage but when you are talking with someone at the club you sometimes need to forget who you are and become at the person who is in the bar I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't...
