Party girls don't get hurt
She thought that they couldn't hurt her if she ignored them.
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
Her body was too intoxicated from all those alcohol and thus was depleting.
I push it down, push it down
All those pitiful emotions attempt to lure her back into agonizing misery, but she represses on.
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Her reputation had gone from village sweetheart to the village's taboo with her excessive impulsive behaviours.
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
There were always those vexations that tantalize the shame back into her wretched life. Couldn't they see that she was happier this way? No more duty, no more honour, just selfishness.
I feel the love, feel the love
Whenever she makes her way down to the party district, she realizes a sense of belonging.
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
There goes her first drink of the night…it was still too young.
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
Then there goes another…keep it coming.
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
And another…she still needs more to numb her pain.
Throw em back, till I lose count
How many did she have already? Things were turning hazy as her vision became blurry, but it doesn't matter as long as she could escape those torments.
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
There was no stopping as the fun was just beginning; it was one club after the next.
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Were there any hopes or aspirations left for her?
Like it doesn't exist
With his departure, he took away her future.
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
It seemed like she was free from love's vicious grasp, but she had never felt so trapped.
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
It was a wound only time could heal, but then again how long did she have left before her abusive lifestyles catches up to her?
And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
No one had seen the fragile side of her…the one where she huddles herself rocking back and forth in a dark corner.
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
They all witnessed the delusional her…the "It" girl who couldn't care less.
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Had no one heard her cries for aid in those eerily silent nights?
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
All they heard was those rumours of how she was up to no good.
On for tonight
Could she endure another dawn and outlast another dusk?
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Miraculously she managed to make it home from another wild night, but the bitter disgust still remains.
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
What was she doing? This isn't her…or at least this wasn't her. How did it all come to this?
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Miscellaneous different sentiments triumph over her soberness…the humiliation, the confusion, and the guilt.
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
Where is the damn sake?!
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
Her anxiety rises as she became short of breath.
1,2,3 1,2,3 drink
What the hell is happening?!
Throw em back till I lose count
Is she finally dying? She thought death was her salvation, but why was she so terrified?
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
She writhed, but it seemed as if some unknown force was cheering for her to fight on.
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Never once had she felt so motivated…to struggle against all odds for a tomorrow.
Like it doesn't exist
She had once wanted to fade away into obscurity, but this was no longer the case.
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
She must withstand, no matter the cost, because it would be what he wanted for her.
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
She dances dangerously close on the faint boundary of life and death.
And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Tears rimmed her delicate lashes…she wanted to live.
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
The past doesn't define her future…the present is what was important.
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Even with him gone…there were still many other who cared sincerely for her.
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
His passing didn't mean that he had abandoned her…it was a wake-up call for her to see all those bright possibilities in her young life.
On for tonight
Metamorphosis.
On for tonight
The mellow rays of warmth shone gently on her frame.
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
The woe was slowly descending into nothingness.
Oh I'm just holding on for tonight
An affectionate voice filled her ears.
On for tonight
Her eyes were met with another's loving gaze.
On for tonight
He reached out and softly caressed her face.
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
How thoughtless had she been not to realize his presence.
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
He had always been there for her.
Oh I'm just holding on for tonight
A weak whimper escaped from her lips as they curved upwards.
On for tonight
He acknowledged her effort with a doting nod.
On for tonight
"I made it (although it had been a strenuous journey).
I'm here (did you wait for too long?).
I'm finally here with you (I will be able to rest in peace now)."
