LYRICS
Take me down
I'm feeling now
And if I move on
I admit you're gone
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I wont let the terror in I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
Step and repeat
Tears fall to the beat
Smile through pain
Feel the acid rain
I ain't ready
I'll hold steady
I'll hold you in my arms, in my arms, in my arms
You're locked inside my heart
Your melody's an art
I wont let the terror in I'm stealing time
Through the eye of the needle
My bags heavy
Been filled by me
They weigh me down
Carry them round
It's all mine all mine
I am blinded by the eye of the needle

[@chantellelad8619]

true thang ... i love her so much it makes me cry ... :(

[@dinahesham1116]

well said !

[@travisholz227]

LMAO

[@mr.x5374]

Yes

[@itsdon5]

That’s true

[@MsSephoraa]

No words to describe how stunning Sia is. This song is gold. Also, I don't get why people complain about her cracking voice at 3:01? This is the best proof that she sings her heart out and put all the emotion she has in her song. Sia is one of the best artist in the world right now. And the fact that she doesn't show up on stage or TV shows is very respectable as she only wants to be judged on her voice and song writing. Very well done. She deserves the world, and she will get it. YOU GO SIA!

[@MichealNaser]

u right people are f**en Stupid to understand what inside the feelings heart

[@KayleenAffliction]

In my opinion, the voice cracking is always my favorite part.

[@MsSephoraa]

Kaylin Schae same here!

[@Cheeksterton]

The "voice" crack is a signature artistic style Sia has. It's unique sounding and provides emotional value.

[@tara-30]

That's exact!

[@GaGaBjork1996]

does the voice break/crack really bother people? It happens to by my favorite part of the song. pure, raw emotion.

[@kitanolley]

Zach Bond I agree! I love her voice cracks & raspy moments...it's her signature.

[@walkerbait610]

Zach Bond It gives me chills every time she does it. I LOVE IT!!

[@rektdotcom7896]

[@alyssiamedeiros486]

[@Karltonx]

best song on the album. sad it won't be a single.

[@Javialone9]

I am totally agree.

[@BlueSkyMYD]

Why? Sia has only 2 singles so far, a regular album has 3 or 4 singles.. even 5... I really hope Sia chose this AMAZING song for single in the future. Or it is confirmed that this song won't be a single?? Or is just a guessing? Although is a ballad I think would be great in charts, just like the first 2 singles did

[@Karltonx]

BlueSkyMYD well it seems in performances she is favoring elastic heart & big girls cry. i guess there is still a chance, but i have only heard that she wants the next singles to be fire meets gasoline and big girls cry.

[@BlueSkyMYD]

zaza zafstens Hum... well I hope she sing it live at least one time.. this song deserve it, I bet would sound even more epic if Sia do it LIVE!! Thanks for reply!

[@GagaBoy1346]

This is the best one, truly, I almost cried from the beauty.

Her hair really stands out in this video.

[@cosmicdevyt]

Ikr I wonder what product she's using

[@Dimosawr]

It is a representation of our wigs standing on their own after we hear this song

[@kalsoomdarban6955]

Sia should make a music video for all of her songs, that would be awsome. Who agrees?

[@jessicaanimpong7266]

[@ricaro531990]

[@plottwist3364]

beyondthesea96 yeah it's been too much already lol

[@jomamabahama2007]

True that

[@princeokoye2309]

Do people not realize that the voice "crack" was intentional?? Celine Dion who's voice is FLAWLESS "cracked" her voice once.. Why?? THE FEELS.... just letting go, and not trying to control the voice.. Letting it be as it comes out.. Considering how great Sia is, I bet she can sing this entire song all day tomorrow and not "crack" If she chose to.. Raw emotion in music at its finest.

[@1904Ernst]

More like an energy saving technique.

[@Tj-qb8nd]

It's a style choice,it makes Sia stand out-when you think of voice crack sia automatically comes to mind,like how Ariana says yuh 🤣

[@yoopstia]

Sia never fails to give me chills

[@calebaudia6654]

She's one of the best Artists today! She literally can't make a bad song.

[@beckyturner3246]

Smile through the pain....literally crying

[@kyragranroth5935]

Sia has come so far... I've loved her since David Guetta's Titanium, but her new album is absolutely perfect. There's not one song I don't like.

[@GagaBoy1346]

I've been a fan since color The Small One' go through her discography!

[@RobLate]

Kyra Granroth You say "David Guetta's" Titanium but Sia wrote that song for Guetta.. So technically it's her song with Guetta's production, or is that what you meant?

[@bluecupoftea157]

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG AND TITLE!!! I'M CRYING NOW

[@NicoleChristina]

The most incredibly painful, soul crushing, emotion melting, beautiful, perfect thing. .. ever. Sia.. Just. . Thank you.

[@drewwatson6672]

+Nicole Christina Definitely. You've described this song wonderfully. I don't think I've ever heard such a tragically resonating song as Eye of the Needle. Sia found a way to capture the horrible feeling of trying to hold onto a love that you know is gone, faking happiness even though you're dying on the inside, and knowing that even if you do let go, you'll always have the baggage of what once was. This is simply one of the greatest songs about trying (or not trying) to get over someone you love who is gone.

[@daniela914]

THIS SONG IF LIFE! I found her two weeks ago for the Chandelier music video and then i saw her other videos and i was like ''she's weird .. but also interesting'' so i started following her on twitter and then listened to this song and 'big girls cry' and all i have to say now is I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!! SHE SLAYS!

[@MichaelNovotny]

Listen to "day too soon" and "little black saddles" from her older album "some ppeople have real problems" . Its just as good as her new stuff!

[@jimmyrocky3045]

hjust got 1513 instagram followers from *instaPHAMOUS COM* today

i suggest you go out a buy all of her previous albums, they are beyond spectacular

[@briannarose8445]

Yesss!! Where have you been?!

[@nnff5149]

I did the exact same thing !

[@ChrisMiller35]

people are naive.. voice cracks in final production pop songs are intended to be left to show the rawness

[@allanoixgaga]

Can't wait to buy this fucking album.

[@es2430]

Sia's songs sounds like a deep exhale after an eternal suppressing, a divinely reassurance after an endless barrenness and devil's series of victories

[@Jessicad0213]

This album really speaks to me. Sia is a genius!!!

[@giraffegeorge8142]

Sia is one of those singers who sings the passion and joy. Not so much of the huge spotlight, not trying to get her face into magazines. Also, her music has great meanings and listeners can connect to her pieces. Great work Sia!

[@jaredmoleterno1909]

She has one of the best voices of any female singer!!! I LOVE YOU SIA

[@walkerbait610]

SIA is one of the very few artist in this world who's voice cracks the way it does and they sound ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! I love how her voice cracks. WOW!! She is just amazing!

[@CallMeGabi]

The part at 2:50 reminds me of "Titanium". Am I the only one?

[@nacho615]

I thought the same, i think she made that in titanium too, thats why i asociated...

[@FullmetalFury]

sounds like same notes

[@lucysmith622]

Her vocals were featured in 'Titanium'.

[@Sydneylooner2011]

Thats Sia's voice dude, thats why we love her. Trax where she features will sound similar with that brilliant voice - from time to time

[@CallMeGabi]

Lucy Smith I know they did. I'm saying this sounds similar to Titanium

[@Music0Rocks1]

I can see this song playing on Movie tracks, especially a movie with deep meaning .. such a beautiful song.

[@alexaharvenah5163]

If I could retweet this, I would! :D

[@nm-zx1wf]

Her voice cracking is left in on purpose. Don't say her voice is flawed, because if she hadn't done it on purpose, it wouldn't be in this song. Adele did it too, so shut up.

[@1118freeze]

+Vacillation Jr. i love it especially in Alive, because it gives it so much emotion.

[@ukaryotik]

+Vacillation Jr. her voice cracking is what sets her music apart from all others i love it !!! her voice gives me chills when ever i hear it i tell ya lol love her

I’m here again, listening and soaking in all the emotions

[@tomomondi7912]

When I'll get out of this basement I'll play this everyday

[@possiblymike5458]

The bridge of this song into the last chorus is pretty amazing. So much emotion in it paired with a pretty amazing voice!

[@regemo]

This is one of those ballads that make the walls shake. Bass, chorus, powerful notes. Love it.

[@reynforever]

ok. Her voice cracked at 3:01 but that's intentional.. Who likes a song recorded with a cracked voice? Of course they'll repeat it to have no crack. For me, that's her style and it sounds real with that crack. It's like being heartbroken...

[@henriquemalaguti1810]

yeah, I think it sounds good

[@VK-pk8uz]

She does that: it's her way of showing her emotions, of showing she's really crying out. Check out some live performances of Chandelier, you'll hear it too.

[@cardigans98]

it's very revealing on her "breathe me" song as well.

[@reynforever]

indeed! I love breathe me!

[@RobertBustamante]

reynan santos I love that technique, breathe me as well!

[@e.p.6502]

[@roxanneringler4411]

I believe nearly 100% this is Rihanna's voice.

[@roxanneringler4411]

haries everden Thank you, just since this new chandelier song hit, but not before in her other albums.

[@futureflowofficial]

Roxanne Ringler imo she sounds like rih from when they worked together and sia wrote diamonds for her.

[@mockingbird607]

Roxanne Ringler Well Sia did write a few Rihanna's songs, so of coarse there would be some similarities. She's also written for many other artists. so it's actually Rihanna that sounds like Sia.

[@odinsraven1862]

I listen to Black Pagan Metal 99% of the time, but then there's that 1% and that's Sia. This voice, power and passion is unique on this earth. The lyrics are brilliant and expressive, it's amazing. Thanks for your Music Sia, I wish you all the best! 🤘

[@Adaptorzzz]

Glad she kept her best work for herself. She deserves the recognition.

[@bekind-np8rz]

For me, it's extremely hard to get rid of her unique voice in my mind. Such a talented artist!! A must-have album~~^^

[@chikowashere]

I love it when she showcases her vocal range

[@kokowin]

I can't stop thinking how fresh this sounded on the first listen.

[@pranavshrestha4953]

I actually find the voice crack very emotional and real!!

[@AashishDMello]

Best song on an already great album. Love Sia's voice. Sounds the most natural on this song. Sadly, this will never get radio/TV play because it doesn't have a distinctive 'hook' or that it's 'too slow'. The cracking in her voice is a much needed imperfection - something to remind us that there's an actual person singing this, not some f**king computer. :)

[@ethanbromage4964]

A person who truely understands the Artist and music will know at that point she's pushing to get that sound out, and it can be difficult. It's her soul screaming. ❤️

[@traviswright79]

Wooooahhhooo

[@thegirlnextdior8484]

for all the people that say sia sounds like Rihanna... she wrote almost every song for Rihanna. so Rihanna sounds like sia... l

[@maryjanegarcia7264]

When Sia wrote "Diamonds", she sang it for Rihanna, and Rihanna spent weeks trying to master the sound of Sia's voice. Rihanna did such a good job that Sia herself couldn't tell the difference.

[@patienceRachel]

FACT

[@mrjonsey]

Calm down she wrote one song hussie..

[@mrjonsey]

no. Stop lying. She also wrote Cheap Thrills for Rihanna. That’s it. And Rihanna has done nothing that sounds like that. I love Sia’s music, but I’m not going to let y’all fabricate stories.

[@eiskatze]

Such a raw, emotional song...I always find myself stopping whatever I'm doing and just sitting down whenever I put this song on.

[@libiar]

This is actually the most difficult her song to sing 🔥🔥🔥

[@stevechannel6856]

Céline Dion did use this song as her rehearsal song. They obsessed with each other 😂

[@stephen4681]

I thought her most difficult song was Chandelier. She said she only recorded the chorus once, because it was so hard

[@WanDSon-jo5oz]

*Someone listening to this beautiful song in twenty twenty three?*

[@jhypex518]

Sia is my best singer

[@mom2renni]

The scratchy voice is what makes her sound so amazing and gives me goose bumps when she sings. Same reason I love Pink and Janis Joplin...their voices. I also just figured out she sings in Flo Rida's Wild Ones

[@HaleyVic17]

I think Sia's kind of doing the cracks on purpose...with that being said, she sounds AMAZING! I love them. She sings even higher on Chandelier without cracking, so I don't think it's because she's not able to reach the notes. I think it's a personal choice to use them, especially in a melancholic song such as Eye of the Needle. Those cracks make the song more emotionally personal, IMO! Beautiful song. This one and Fire Meet Gasoline should've been singles along with the other two tracks. They are the four best commercial songs on the album.

[@niteshmaj6360]

My queen is still underrated .Sad for all those who could not find it ..they lost this masterpiece ❤️

Her voice is incredible. Throughout history singers have often achieved fame through their looks, or who they know. Sia has talent, depth, and poetry.

[@JesusPerez-oo5rn]

Sia's did it AGAIN. i mean, i think this level of her career is gonna a huge step in pop music, love her ideas, her power vocals, her artworks, style, smile and the way she promote her stuff, this is gonna be epic for Sia this year, and she deserves so much as a singer and as a writer.
