fact: i am musically obsessed with paramore.
when their newest cd {brand new eyes} came out i liiiterally listened to nothing else for about two months. after a while, my musical coma started to worry me. so i turned on the radio and listened to other music, but i still find myself shoving their cd into my car stereo all the time, particulary when stressed, sad, or upset. which sounds weird, but it's only because cranking up the volume and singing along provides a huge emotional release for me. it's like i get all of my energy out and feel calm again. i totally listen to it when i'm good moods too and just want to get pumped up. hayley williams is an idol. and here, are some of my favorite paramore lyrics from {brand new eyes} - there's others that i like too but i tried to make this as condensed as possible. you get the idea. oh! and to check out more of paramore's work, go here.
we all learn to make mistakes
and run from them with no direction
we'll run from them with no conviction
{from misguided ghosts}
you built up a world of magic
because your real life is tragic
{from brick by boring brick}
next time you point a finger
i'll point you to a mirror
{from playing god}
it hurts remembering
how it felt to shut down
you can't be too careful anymore
when all that is waiting for you
won't come any closer
you've got to reach a little more
{from careful }
i'm always wrong
but you're never right
{from looking up}
seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
{from turn it off}
all the best lies,
they are told with fingers tied
so cross them tight
{from feeling sorry}
taken for granted most everything
that i would have died for just yesterday
honestly, can you believe we crossed the world while it's asleep
i'd never trade it in, cause i've always wanted this
and it's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
{from looking up}
