Chandelier is a song written by Sia Fuller off her sixth album' 1000 form of fear' 2014.the track is the first release off that album and the writing is amazing!!! which is an understatement ofcourse. Sia has written for stars like Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna ,she has also made some appearances on hit records by David Guetta, ,Flo Rida …….so we know her writing skills has to be dope to write for this artists. I for one am glad she hasn’t passed on all of her talents on other people(YES!!!) …

Chandelier ! Chandelier!!,..this track is one of those ballads that mean different things to different people,I am sure If my old anty listens to it she wld think she can relate..hehehehehe

So with my little understanding I am going to break it up in my own way, leave your opinion after, thank you.




Chandelier
I think chandelier represents a sort of high,a high point probably in a negative way.

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down
Meaning: based on the ususal notion that party gals choose that life by choice and they don’t get hurt(always high on life),but as a ‘practicing’ party gal she has her own unique battle that she is fighting buh she chooses that life as a font as opposed to what reality is..she drowns he self in all this bad behavior which has become habits, she knows its bad fr her obviously but fuck it she does it anyway to keep the awful reality far
We all have our bad escape places, where we run to, avoiding our issues ,because of the temporary relief it offers we want to stay there alil bit longer .. And we do.

I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, I feel the love
I like the fact that she further paints the picture on how we all see party gals aka runs gals…she is loving it,to obviously not deal wth her own reality

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
Throw them back, till I lose count
Meaning:the lyrics here is pretty understandable,..
CHORUS

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, '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
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Meaning:she obviously is starting to reason her reality but she is still adamant about not wanting to face it,
All she wants to be is happy,free like a bird,happy,free,happy…she wants to remain in this euphoria

Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Meaning:after the euphoria wears off ,reality starts to set in,she realizes the problems have not gone away,they are still there. There is really no running away from it..buh screw it she WONT deal with it so she starts her nite again..drowning erryting in the party gal euphoria
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
Throw them back till I lose count
Meaning:after the high wears off,reality starts to set in,she realizes the problems have not gone away,they are still dere.there is really no running away from it..buh screw it she WONT deal with it so she starts her nite again..drowning erryting in the party gal euphoria


CHORUS

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, '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
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
Cause i'm just holding on for tonight
No, i'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
Cause i'm just holding on for tonight
Cause i'm just holding on for tonight
No, i'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

Lesigh! This track is depressing for people with real issues….the ‘123 123….. touch up is nice, makes you feel a part of the story of the ballad.
To top it all off a video fr the track came out and wow /sadden me ,the ballerina in the video Young Maddie (11yrs) did justice to it…she makes you question how talents are been found and nurtured in this part of the world, that is IF
Thumbs up to Sia

These are some of my favorite quotes by him, I tweaked some :) 1. We are all fated to die alone on a certain day, but we are given the freewill to do ‘us’ not ‘them’ until that day comes. 2. Don’t waste your time looking back, not even to measure how far you have come but forward to visualize where you are going. 3.I don’t know how I am going to win; I just know I am not going to lose. So, I just start.. 4. I came to the world kicking and screaming while covered in someone else’s blood. I have no problem going out the same way (this one is so sadistic and pessimistic in nature and I love the quote too much to alter...

15 Things Only an INFJ Understands: The lazy perfectionists

She said “Darling, please make enough money for us to leave on” “Why” he asked “I just want to change the world” She replied Have you ever felt like you understand everyone but no one ever truly understands you but most people claim they do …… but they usually don’t ! Crazy is the fact that sometimes you don’t understand yourself too even when you do…. Does that make sense? …. No?.... Yes?.......errrr…… We are that complicated I live mostly in my head because I don’t pay rent, most days I feel i haven’t done anything in life and I am not able to live in the moment, only for me to check my best friends post on instagram saying she is proud of me… of what ??

10 THINGS NEVER TO SAY TO A DEPRESSED PERSON

Image
10 THINGS NEVER TO SAY TO A DEPRESSED PERSON D epression is neither a normal nor an easy journey. Some people are more prone to it than others. I have been ‘normal’ and I have felt depression, so I can say i have been a player for both teams and I understand to an extent what each team is about. This list was born out of my feeling ‘sick’ each time my best friend would ask me “how do you feel today?”   I wince every single time I see that message and I draw back from her a little bit farther. I started to talk to some of my people and they also too said some shitty things that just drove me in deeper. Although I know people generally mean well, these are things you should not say to a depressed person. This is not a standard list but I hope it serves to shed light on some emotions and means of communicating between players of both side.  “Why are you feeling depressed?” When asked this question, I look at the person and think … I don’t know, job? Friend? Boyfriend? ...
