Meaning
Sia is trying to tell us not to run away from our problems. She runs away through drinking and partying, but it doesn't work as seen in,'Sun is up, I'm a mess Gotta get out now, gotta run from this Here comes the shame, here comes the shame'. She wants people to learn from this and not to run away from your problems cause they will just get worse.

I believe Sia has and alcohol addiction. I believe she is talking about having a glass or alcohol her side to make it through her conflict as seen in the lines, "I'm holding on for dear life", and in, "keep my glass full till morning light".

1,2,3 drink
Throw em back
This sentence shows hyperbole because chances are she isn't actually going to drink that much alcohol . This actually does show tone though, by showing her depression, and how she's prepared to drink till her troubles go away.
