Guts over fear
Annotation
Sia has guts over fear, which means, she is ready to follow her true calling and not be subsumed by the fear. When she says "I let you keep me down" she is saying that prior to this moment of realization she let someone else dictate how she should think and feel and that quieted the part of herself that was real (that is, her gut or impulse or unconditioned personality). As the lyrics progress, Sia wants to reiterate that she is no longer a victim to fear but in tune with her true self (again her gut or natural way of being).
