What is the Sias The greatest Song about?
The verse Sun is up. Im a mess. Got to get out now, gotta run from this. Here comes the shame suggests SIAs conflicted feelings of wanting to stop the ritualistic drinking (1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink), being unable to, and feeling ashamed of herself- not to mention feeling the deep fear of other people shaming her for being an addict.

This oneis my favorite, because it interprets the line in a literal way.
Sia wrote the song for Rihanna but I am so glad that she kept this one for herself.
The creepy end where Maddie bows three times MAYBE the loner girl challenging the viewer/listener to dare come in her life and help her. I say DARE because the girl thinks that nobody in his or her sane mind would like to interact and engage in such a complicated and depressing life.

However, the next verse, Im the one for a good-time call, phones blowin up, theyre ringin my doorbell; I feel the love suggests the party girl in the song only feels loved when shes out drinking.
The girl is sad and just going through her life living one day at a time. She is scared and unhappy. ( Im holding on for dear life, wont look down wont open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light) She wants alcohol to take all of her pain away.

phones blowing up, theyre ringing my door bells, I feel the love
The song talks about people with drug, alcohol addiction. Party girls dont get hurt means that once you have enough alcohol in your system, it numbs your senses. Which is actually true. Maddie Ziegler (the dancer) portrays a girl high on alcohol.
Chandelier is about the menace called alcoholism, mainly SIAs own past struggle with it (and drugs) when she was young and newly starting out in the music industry. Party girls dont get hurt. Cant feel anything- when will I learn? I push it down directly reflects this.
I feel that somehow when Sia wrote this song, she saw into my personal shame and wrote it about me. From my personal experience, this is more about depression and deluding oneself than drinking, even though drinking is a way to avoid the ever persistent sadness. She hates herself for giving into becoming who everyone expects her to be, so she plays the part, but drinks until she numbs away the shame. When the world has given you no reason to go on, you just live very dangerously and carelessly on the edge, just to feel like you exist in the world and you matter. Partly wishing something would just take all the pain away. One day at a time.

Initially, you can see her doing crazy stuff in the video depicting foolish and mindless things drug/alcohol addicts do. Such things may hurt them and they may regret it the next day but since thoer senses are numbed, it doesnt matter at that moment.

Chandelier is a haunting, beautiful song- a cautionary tale by one who knows the subject matter all too well.
Sias raspy vocals tell the story of a party girl with an epiphany. Im the one for a good time call / Phones blowin up, theyre ringin my doorbell… Gotta get out now, gotta run from this / Here comes the shame, here comes the shame / 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 drink, she croons over a reggae-lite beat.

In addition to her own six studio albums, Sia has written hit songs for the worlds biggest pop stars including Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Rita Ora.The imagery associated with Sias sixth album1000 Forms of Fearis right in line with the elites ongoing Agenda, which includes the sexualization of children, the normalization of ritual abuse, and the promotion of mind control. While these are strong words to describe videos of a young girl dancing while wearing a wig, the plethora of symbols surrounding the video trilogy strongly points in that direction.

What does the song by Sia Confetti mean?
The songs meaning is expanded a bit further by the video, where the young dancer depicts the mental strain of addiction, and the eerily dim, deserted, apartment shes in represents the terrible lonliness SIA has mentioned she felt as an addict.
The chorus booming percussion and marimbas back Sias beltingonly a handful of divas could pull off her half-scream vocals and still remain sonically pleasing. Lyrically, Sia is letting go of all inhibitions (Im gonna swing from the chandelier / Im gonna live like tomorrow doesnt exist) while her vocals move from shouty wails to whistle notes.The haunting tale details the Aussies personal struggles with alcoholism and prescription drugs when she was still pushing her solo career. In a rare interview last year, she told Billboard , I was really unhappy being an artist. I was always a drinker but I didnt know I was an alcoholic. Then I got seriously addicted to Vicodin and Oxycodone.

The rest od the song as I said earlier is just enacting the lyrics.
Swinging from the chandelier is a well known and long established metaphor for partying to excess. Although I think the song is autobiographical and Sia had once contemplated suicide, I dont think suicide is the intended meaning. It is about the emptiness and pain that accompanies alcoholism and substance abuse. Party girls dont get hurt and cant feel anything because they push down the pain. Drinking provides an escape, but in the morning light one wakes to the reality of an empty life. The feeling the love is just an illusion because the party friends are only good time friends and there are no meaningful relationships when all your friends have the same addiction problems. In the morning light, the realization that one is trapped in this endless cycle causes shame. If you keep your glass full and dont look down, you can, at least for the night, avoid the painful truth. Sia chooses a child for the video to represent her fragile inner child and the dilapidated surroundings reflect the desperate and bleak mental state of her mind. The forced smiles and the curtsies at the end are the personae that she presents to the world. It is a never ending dance going between the manic and depressive states..
