Sia Chandelier Lyrics Meaning and Analysis
Why Does Sia Hide Her Face?

[fishytails]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the chandelier line can very easily be interpreted as having committed suicide as well

[TinRapper]

She’s forced back to drinking because the verses are supposed to be the same.
Ahhh… bloody genius.

[yeheyz]

I was obsessed with Sia. When I first heard her at a car ride with friend, I honestly cried hearing Chandelier for it resonated so much with me. She is a god with how she writes and had to know more of her music. Her track "Soon will be found" was my saving grace in a relationship turned sour. I'm lying if I say Sia did not help me go through my depressing life as a 20 year old back then.

I’d love to hear a breakdown of her ‘Elastic Hearts’ music video. It’s garnered controversy but I see that video as much more than one reading, it’s truly fascinating

[virginiademelo]

Can't explain how much this song means to me. Sia might have changed my life

[inaworldfulloftrashbagsbet]

I think you would have a field day if you try to dip your toes of Bjork's discography and how much she held the torch of artpop throughout 3 decades, especially with the release of her new album

[johnwerner]

i always thought it was super clear that it was about drug addiction and suicide and all the struggles Sia sadly has been going through in her youth

[CaseyMeeko]

Sia is a voice of generation. Her poetry is amazing, her voice is soul-touching, she's inspired thousands of us

[ashtonturner]

I remember when I discovered Sia through Zero 7. My friend introduced me to Zero 7 on their debut album where Sia did vocals on a few tracks and I was blown away by voice. I followed her career since 2001 and starting with her third album I bought every single one that followed.

[Kinsfire]

With the suicidal aspect, I find myself wondering if 'swing from the chandelier' has more of a 'at the end of a rope' meaning to it...I'm one of those strange people who listen to the lyrics rather than just bop to the song, and caught the dark side of the song, but got a chill at the revelation about suicidal feelings. I may never hear that song again without seeing the noose in my mind, now...

[datboiderrty]

I’m always listening to the lyrics very very dark….. and relatable

[VIVIEWHITE]

I felt the true meaning of the song when I first heard it. As I struggle with suicidal taughts myself it felt really close to home.

[GermanSailfish]

Chandelier is basically a more radio-friendly (but also more subtle) version of Regina Spektor's Buildings. It's also about alcoholism, it's just as meaningfully repetitive, and it has a similarly ambiguous ending.

[JosephFabs]

Sia have to realize that her greatness shines like a diamond. No matter how much she hides it 🥰🥰🥰🥰 i love her

[minemathijs]

I love these lyrics breakdowns, it gives new meaning to songs i have heard a lot already. I would love more of this!

[artmis]

Damn, another banger from you, i always love your videos even if i do not know the artist you are talking about, i have discovered artists through your videos. Keep up the great work.

[Mr.Burrow]

I always wonder why SIA hasn't transformed into a icon now such as how The Weeknd transformed from just an artist into a global icon, like SIA already has gimmick (Black & white wig) & paired with her vocals she could've been a legend

I just had to pause the video to recover from this.
My god, it has been a long time since I've felt like this listening to someone sing

[johnchiu]

Thanks for teaching me to appreciate songs I already liked, even more.

Check out pre-Chandelier Sia collab with Xtina - You Lost Me, Bound To You, and I Am. from 2010's Bionic. Such gems
