A GIF Reaction to Sia's "Elastic Heart" Lyrics
Sia Furler's new single, "Elastic Heart," is one of the best songs on her 1000 Forms of Fear album. It's fantastic. It's wonderful. It's stupendous! It's an emotional and thrilling pop ballad about resilience and the importance of fighting for love, delivered with all of the tremendous power of Sia's soaring voice. Thanks in part to its stunning music video, which features Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler and actor Shia LaBeouf, "Elastic Heart" is already well on its way to becoming a hit. In fact, it debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart just last week! I'm so happy that Sia decided to release her solo version of the track. (A duet version with The Weeknd was included on the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack near the end of 2013.)
The only thing that could possibly make "Elastic Heart" better would be a series of hilarious, adorable, and sometimes inspirational gifs to go along with the song's already powerful lyrics... right? Right. Gifs make everything better (especially when they involve people dancing... but especially when they involve people falling down). What am I waiting for? Let's do this!
1st VERSE:
And another one bites the dust
Oh why can I not conquer love?
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah let's be clear, I'll trust no one
PRE-CHORUS:
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
CHORUS:
Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard
I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
POST-CHORUS:
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart
2nd VERSE:
And I will stay up through the night
Yeah let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I'll walk through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
CHORUS x 2
POST-CHORUS
Fin.
