to much of a good thing? - craving normality/ordinary

though adventure and spontanity are things the majority of people love and look forward to, having to much of a good thing can make you crave 'normality'.

celebrites for example, do they ever wish they could have a normal life?

this song by sia is about someone who wanted something so bad but, now wishes for there life back.

actor Shia LaBeouf is the dancer in this video, and it is said that sia chose him to participate in the video as he him selves has/is struggling with being in the public eye, and finding a balance between he's public life and private life.

though the film is made for a music video to entertain and engage a audience, after hearing about Shia laBeouf's problems, and potential mental health issues, i find he's performance in the video very believable, almost like a cry for help, especially at the end when he is trying to get out of the cage (cage is the public eye) but once he has been in it, he can't escape it.


lyrics:

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

You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace

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

I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart

And I will stay up through the night
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

You did not break me
(you did not break me, no)
I'm still fighting for peace
