History Music / Sia

* WordSaladLyrics: "Buttons."

** "Immortal Queen" with Chaka Khan:

You won't forget me, the immortal queen"

* StockRhymes: Together/forever in "I Had a Heart":

* BadassBoast: The chorus of "Unstoppable," as the title would suggest. The verses, however, reveal that the narrator is a StepfordSmiler too scared to let her feelings show.

** Subverted in her cover of Ninah's Cherry's "Manchild", in which Sia not only sings but also raps.

--> ''Babe, I'm gonna drink you in like oxygen, like oxygen\\

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: One does not typically drink oxygen, as "House On Fire" implies.

** Her appearance on Series/TheLateLateShow's "Carpool Karaoke" is introduced by James Corden driving by, to see Sia (in her full wig) [[BlindMistake stumbling aimlessly around a sidewalk and requiring almost a minute of help getting into the car]].

* ChristmasEveryDay: The subject of "Everyday Is Christmas".

* IntercourseWithYou: Her unreleased song, "Testosterone".

-->I'm Eve, I wanna try\\
Take a bite

-->I'm unstoppable\\

I don't need batteries to play

--> I tell you if that's what you're about\\
Friends like you I can do without

--> No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away\\

Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate

-->To make noise I use my breath\\

And when I'm looking for something I use my eyes

-->Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should\\

But they won't love you like a brother, like a lover should

-->Tell me your secrets tonight\\

Got the elves working so hard, make your pain stop

-->Red and yellow and pink and green\\
Orange and purple and blue

-->And I don't care if I sing off-key\\

I shout it out like a bird set free

-->'Cause if Christmas is so green and so red, then why am I so blue, why am I so blue?

-->The crystal ball sees only pain for any man who comes my way

-->Sometimes I'm tempted, sometimes I am\\

He was the line between pleasure and pain

-->But will someone find me swinging from the rafters?\\
From hanging on your every word?

-->If your goal was to love, you scored an epic miss

-->Detonate me (shoot me like a cannonball)\\

Decapitate me (hit me like a baseball)

-->It's such a terrible terrible shame, you keep on judging me in His name\\

He smiled down on me lovingly, lovingly

-->And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die\\
My first love is already dead

-->They say change and pain is a positive thing\\
So have I changed since you died?

--> Witchcraft, voodoo, love spells and Facebook\\
Potions, lotions, perfume to find you

--> Death by chocolate is a myth\\

Death by anger, this is true

--> Secret life of lovers who have others under the covers

--> You talk to loners, you ask 'how's your week?'\\
You give love to all, and give love to me

--> They're so cute and fluffy with shiny coats\\
But will you love 'em when they're old and slow?

--> Gimme all your venom, yeah I love that shit

-->Place your past into a book\\
Burn the pages, let 'em cook

-->I've got a crush, la la la la la la\\
Like a schoolgirl

-->Help me, I'm holding on for dear life\\

'Cause I'm just holding out for tonight

--> Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear\\

I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am

--> I'm unstoppable, until you look the other way

--> I tell you if that's what you're about\\
Friends like you I can do without

--> Yes, it is true, death is everyone's fate\\
But we've made it this far, it's time to celebrate

--> Everybody lives, and everybody dies one day\\
That's life, what'cha gonna do?

-->And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die\\
My first love is already dead

-->I may cry ruining my makeup

* PrecisionFStrike: Most of Sia's catalogue contains no explicit language. She dropped three F-bombs on ''Healing Is Difficult'', and says "shit" in her 2000s songs "This Shit" and "Blame It on the Radio", although neither were officially released. Sia herself would not swear in a song until 2024 with the release of "Incredible" (although it is worth noting that snippets of "Incredible" had surfaced in 2019).

* OddFriendship: [[invoked]] ReclusiveArtist and CelebrityIsOverrated believer Sia has in recent years [[https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a33390187/sia-friendship-kim-kardashian/ become close friends with]] the FamousForBeingFamous Kardashian family, specifically [[Creator/KimKardashian Kim]] and Khloé.

* TheFourChordsOfPop: "Cheap Thrills" is of the minor key version (i-VI-III-VII).
