30th September
A hit song released in 2014, that made everyone knows her.
Yupe, judging from the title, it's nothing else but the hit song "Chandelier" by Sia.
Noticed that the most spectacular part is in the chorus, where she used a long high pitch to express her feelings in the song.
Shameful, despair, tough, sorrow...
Well ya, in spite the first time watching the MV, no one could know the meaning of this song by judging from the irrational choreography of Maddie Ziegler.
All in all this song left some confusion for me watching through the MV, thinking what is this song about?
Of course, you could Google it and there're lots of different interpretations.
Well, to end the last post of September, I think I want to present my view on this song.
So, basically the first part of the song, is more about alcoholism at a party, where the lyrics depicts a part "I push it down, I push it down", that she pushing herself for drinking alcohol.
Midnight, she's opened for calling, where people invited her out and phone calls non-stop, that made her felt that those people gave her love.
Then, at the chorus, "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier".
At this part, why there's a chandelier?
Mostly this chandelier might refer to the fun, pleasure moment. It might means wealth too, but at the same time, if we look from the word "swing", it may also means the unstable relationship, that this love would crush at anytime.
So, what I think is that she is trying to hold on the relationship, the pleasurable things in her life.
"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."
The next line it might be to hold on that particular night, fearing of losing everything, but it still can't be hold on.
The night is like the darkness of life, flying in darkness, creating loneliness, depression and shame.
"But I'm keep holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes."
"Keep my glass full until morning light, cuz' I'm just holding on for tonight."
"Help me I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open eyes."
"Keep my glass full until morning, cuz' I'm just holding on for tonight, on for tonight."
At the end, she gave up. At this point, she regrets everything she does and the faulty relationship.
Uncovering mistakes are impossible, that she'll just holding on for that night only.
Well, this is just my little interpretation, no copyright on anything lol.
Feel free to hear this song below here, it's really a great song, and guess what? This is one of my favourite songs for sure, but the pitch is too high that I can't get up lol.
And that's the end of September, three more months to the end of 2016!!!
October, here we go!
