2000년 시아는 2집 활동을 하며 영국에서 살고 있었지만 2집 앨범이 흥행을 하지 못해 시아는 별로 기분이 좋지 않았다고 한다. 그래서 이후 자기 매니저를 해고해 버린 뒤 소니 뮤직을 탈퇴해버리고 "Go Beat!" 레이블에 가입하게 된다. 이후 발매한 첫번째 앨범이 "Colour The Small One"이다.
해외로 발매된지 2년 후, 시아의 세 번째 정규 앨범이자 미국에서의 솔로 데뷔는 "Six Feet Under" 드라마 마지막 장면에 삽입된 트랙 "Breathe Me"에 힘입어, 마침내 미국에서 히트를 쳤다. 호주에서 자란 시아는 이전에 듀오 "Zero 7"에서 활동하며 노래를 부르고 여러 노래들을 작곡했으며, 3집 "Colour The Small One"은 그때의 노래 스타일과 비슷하게 느린 템포, 약간 흐릿한 보컬, 셔플링 비트, 부드러운 분위기를 가져다 준다. "Breathe Me"는 노래의 힘과 인기를 바탕으로 세상을 초월해 나가지만, 여기에는 그런 종류의 관심을 요구하거나 받을 만한 다른 것이 없다. 시아가 중얼거리는 저음, 부정확한 딕션 등으로 자신을 오버더빙[1]하는 경향은 그녀의 존재를 분명한 존재로 만들어 주었다. 또한 시아기 "Zero 7"에서 카메오로 등장했을 때 자신의 앨범에서 빛났었던 것보다 더 별처럼 빛났다.

How you been feeling It's not about marbles, sweets or glue How you been healing Now that we cannot win or lose So how you been keeping It doesn't matter whose dads richest now How you been sleeping From the top bunks further to fall down
You turned that around on me You turned that around on me You turned that around on me You turned that around on me
What you been doing Still make the world a better place Never stopped rueing Making those tears fall down your face Making you suffer Wondering how you got your scars And only in hindsight I wish I had taken you in my arms
Taken you in my arms Taken you in my arms Taken you in my arms Taken you in my arms
You turned that around on me You turned that around on me You turned that around on me You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me (forgiving the bully) You turned that around on me You turned that around on me (forgiving the bully)
She cooks you sweet potato, you don't like aubergine She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from Grease She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure And so she stands and waits, stands anticipating your thoughts
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
He brushes thoroughly He know she likes fresh breath He rushes to the station He waits atop the steps He's brought with him a Mars bar She will not buy Nestle And later he'll perform A love-lorn serenade, a trade
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
So give her information to help her fill the holes Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled Help her to acknowledge the pain that you are in Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin
Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call I'm failing and placating, I berate myself for staying
I'm a fool I'm a fool
He greets the stranger meekly, a thing that she accepts She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps He senses she is lonely, she's glad they finally met They take each other's hands, walk into the sunset
Faint light of dawn I'm listening to you breathing in and breathing out Needing nothing You're honey dipped You are beautiful, floating clouds, soft world I can't feel my lips
I'm going down, I don't want to change I'm going down, going down the drain
Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down
Then all of that's annulled and I'm anyone's everyone's We are one Your face becomes the sun And I'm addicted to the joy that the little things Those little things The little things they bring
I'm going down, I don't want to change I'm going down, going down the drain
So now for restless mind, I could go either way
Oh but, I'm going down, I don't wanna change I'm going down, going down the drain
Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, don't let me Don't bring me down, Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down,
There's nothing left to choose Oh I fight a word, I am right here Stay the night, protect me
I'm in the wars Can't speak for crying Close all the doors Since I am dying Pick up the phone Attempt to call her I'm all alone Until she answers
Momentarily she brings peace to me Momentarily she brings peace to me
She barely speaks But I hear her breathing That's all I need Someone who's listening And still she stays Her time is precious Until I am safe She gives her presence
Momentarily she brings peace to me Momentarily she brings peace to me Momentarily she brings peace to me Momentarily she brings peace to me
We've been to the top, we've been to the bottom. We've known everything and forgotten, yeah. You've kicked me around, you've wrapped me in cotton. You've carried our load and you've shot them, yeah.
Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there.
We've argued by the baggage claim. We've accepted and we've laid blame. We've drank Sangthip in monsoonal rain. We've felt separate and we've felt the same.
Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there.
We've shared joy and we've shared pain. We've shared guilt and we've shared shame. We've bought into stupid games. We've freed each offer and we laid claim.
Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there. Oh yes the butterflies are still there.
Because we came from the same cocoon… https://lyricstranslate.com/ko/sia-butterflies-lyrics.html
I watch you spin from afar, I drink you in and breathe you out. I'm camouflaged by the time line, I'm camouflaged when the sun shines. Two ships passing in, in the night, Two lips pressing ground the tides. I believe the world it spins for you. We will never be, I am the moon. I believe the world it spins for you. We will never be, I am the moon. I long to be a part, I isolate my heart. You've drawn me into your world, Now, I too spin limbless. One hand clapping, where's the wind. I stand spanning at your distant wings. I believe the world it spins for you. We will never be, I am the moon. I believe the world it spins for you. We will never be, I am the moon. I believe the world it spins for you. We will never be, I am the moon.
Without truth 진실 없이 With ruth 슬픔과 함께 Yet we want to spare the feelings of lovers with love 아직 우린 사랑과 함께 연인의 감정을 공유하길 원해

전곡 모두 시아가 송라이팅했다. 이중 5곡은 사무엘 딕슨과, "The Bully"와 이 앨범에 수록되지 않는 나머지 두곡은 미국 뮤지션 벡 한센과 함께 공동 작곡했다. 백 보컬같은 경우엔 "Natale's Song"은 소피 바커[6]가, "The Church Of What's Happening Now"는 영국 가수 이본 존 루이스가 맡았다. #
디럭스가 아닌 보너스 트랙 버전도 존재한다. 커버는 기존 커버에 회백색 필터를 씌운 느낌이다.[7]
[1] 이때 오버더빙 (Overdubbing) 이란 일종의 음향녹음에서 사용되는 기술을 뜻하는데, 기존의 노래에 가수가 헤드셋을 끼고 그 노래를 들으며 더빙을 하는 기술을 뜻한다.[2] 전 앨범 히트작인 'Taken for Granted' 보단 낮은 순위지만 빌보드 차트 중 하나인 빌보드 록 디지털 차트에는 이 노래가 처음으로 진입하였다.[3] 인터네셔널 버전에서만 들을 수 있다.[4] 나머지 두곡도 찾아보면 다른 유저들이 올린게 보인다.[5] Sea Shells는 동영상을 볼 수 없다고 뜬다. 삭제된 이유는 불명.[6] 시아의 전 그룹 "Zero 7"의 싱글 "Destiny"를 같이 작업한 가수이기도 하다.[7]
