LYRICS
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

If anyone was wondering about the meaning of this song (like I was), Hayley explained: "I was writing a story about a girl who escaped reality through pictures and fairy tales and anything that wasn't the real story. This way, she'd look perfect to everyone else and we'd all think that she's got it together. But being that it was all for show, it couldn't last. The lyrics in the chorus finally happened when I pictured her finally doing away with it all - burying everything she'd made up in her mind so she could face the real world for once. For the record, this song isn't autobiographical."
She really wrote this song about me huh.
Thank you!
The song is about walking away from the fictions of childhood and becoming an adult.
and then in 26, she became the person she was talking about in this song.
I was racionalizing about this, thanks for the explenation.
As someone who used an incredibly active imagination to escape from the hardships of real life for as long as i can remember this always hit so close to home
I feel this!
Same here. First time I heard this I didn't know how to react. Listed to it some more and found wisdom and comfort.
as a writer this song hits me hard too
same
- from Indonesia -
Lyrics is everything
" you built a world of magic because your real life is tragic" that hits u better when its true
That line is a bit too accurate
This comment hits from a direction I wasn't expecting
It hits different when you finished OMORI for the first time
@@makmakg242 So true
no [;
This song actually made me cry, it was so emotional by the end with lyrics clearly describing this little girl's life and her problems.
Yes😢
i literally have chills rn as I type this
@@sinctyslayr 🤩
My media studies teacher put this on in class so we could study hidden meanings and connotations in the entertainment industry back in high school and i cannot thank him enough for that day as he opened my eyes and ears to now my favourite band of all time... so if you're out there... Thanks Mr Martin! - Kurtis Lowe
Kurtis Dudeson I wanna know what your teacher taught you about this video.
^^
word lol
I hope he sees this

Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
possibly, so inane, how are these people even allowed to teach?
The "ba ba ba ba" part just gives me absolute life
same
It reminds me of maccas

+Sakara Chan Same especially the last one. I rarely like those shortcuts in song but in this song it's just great !
I love that song.
Para pa para pa para*
XD
*Dances*
Aged like fine wine. One of the most poetic, lyrical genius, hell of a song.
I'm 37 and yes it did💯
I know right. Pure art
I just was listening to “Emergency” off Pandora (“Fences” Radio respectively) & for no reason whatsoever I turned it off to come listen to this classic. Something about this one. “Brick by Boring Brick” oozed a truly different type of passion. I’ll take more “glasses” for years to come 🍷🎶✨
Especially the "Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha" Part is genius
@@EragonBa that Badaba Badaba bada is magic!!
I started listening to paramore as an emo teenager in about 2007/08. Now, this is my three year olds favourite song. She requests it every time we get in the car. The circle of life is complete!
“Make sure to build your heart brick by boring brick or the wolf’s gonna blow it down”
Still one of my all time favorite stand-alone lyrics I’ve ever heard. Apt reference and its meaning itself is consistent with the whole song; find yourself and be able to be emotionally strong willed and resilient or you’re going to get blown over by the curveballs life throws your way. I’ve always liked the candidness of this song, that lyric in particular
@@buzzcutseason142 No u
I bet ya love smelling your own farts too don't ya
I've probably heard this song 50 times and I never actually heard the reference to the wolf until looking up the lyrics; always thought she was saying "world". Basically the same message, but a valuable nuance to pick up on. Far more specific. Thank you for highlighting this.
I love the profile pic :))
The meaning of the song doesn't just ended up with making yourself strong emotionally by building your heart brick by boring brick. It also tells you that if your going to build a wall around you don't forget to put windows and a door to not loose sight of what reality is. Most people believe that having a strong will is enough to protect themselves. They will not believe in any truth other than the truth they created inside that brick walls of theirs. Try listening to the bridge of the song " if it's not true you can't hold it in your hand...... " the lyrics emphasize that be strong but don't loose sight of what reality truly is. Also, if watch the MV the princess runaway from that castle. She is aware that isolating herself is wrong. But, the more she stayed inside the castle the reality becomes more scary. She becomes anxious about it and run then finally she fell in a deep pit of despair
This song perfectly sums up how I feel about my childhood. I didn't know it growing up, but I had a very dysfunctional family. Terrible things would happen to me and I would tell myself and others "Every family had problems. No family is perfect". I truly believed I had it good, but I was lying to myself. I grew up and saw my childhood for what it actually was, and I realized it wasn't the brightly colored fairytale I thought it was. I had built up a world of magic, because my real life was tragic. Now all I can do is pick up my shovel and dig a deep hole to bury that castle. Its truly exhausting.
13 years old me screaming in the school's hallways "BADABABADABABADA" to say hi to my emo's friends. Such a great memory *sigh*.
I'll always love Paramore :)
How beautiful that memory is.
I love that badababababa part! It's like me shouting the last part of Taylor Swift's Love Story "It's a love story baby just say yes!" People don't believe me when I say I will but I do.
Whenever I mention Paramore people know it. I first heard it from the Twilight soundtrack. I LOVE decode.
how times have changed
I love the ending where she screams it.
para papa para papapa
One of their best songs in my opinion in terms of song structure, lyrics, and production.
That bridge hits so hard 🔥
thats how I feel about ignorance
I'll give Ignorance another try, but Emergency (for LP) was the deal for me. And for her singing, Monster but is for Twilight soundtrack (as well Caught Myself)
_YOU BUILD A WORLD OF MAGIC,_
_CUZ YOUR REAL LIFE IS TRAGIC_

girlinthegalaxy the part used to speak to me the most when I was younger because it was so accurate. It still hits me right in the feels now.
Sabes que no
You and the likers of your comment are certainly 14 year old white girls.

Sometimes we do that :(
Nostalgia is the best and worst feeling ever, who is with me?
I tear up

Same
@@retnugnahte noob
It's the best because you remember the good times, it's the worst because your home sick for a time/place in your life you can't go to
I love the shuttle implications that this is a fantasy world created by the little girl to get away from her abusive father as shown when she's in the room with the TVs and as the man with the axe appears in a more realistic background then anything in the video; the girl also seems to mouth "Dad" before finally running off out of fear about to cry when before she just watched the other images in fear when a few were literally peoples faces being melted off, dont you think its abit off the thing that breaks the camel's back and has her run away almost in tears was just random guy with an axe who she even mouths too.
But that's my guess free feel to add anything or reply and I'll be happy to respond when I can!
@@theoneandonly8403 I don't appreciate your grammar.
Ok einstein chill
You're right, the song is about monarch programming. When you are young you can fall victim to being mind controlled easily. In order to escape the trauma, she gets monarch programming but then she realizes it looking back at her childhood.
Also note how the album cover is a monarch butterfly with it's wings plucked off and pinned down.
Shuttle implications is wild
When I first watched this video I was the same age as the girl in the video. I came to Hayley for comfort heartbreaks from crushes, bullies, and not fitting in.
14 years later I have found the love I had been dreaming of. It is real and I can see it with my eyes.. even in the dark. Thank you Paramore for bringing an axty preteen so much comfort. This song made me feel so much less alone.
Anxty*** (won't let me edit my spelling errors)
Yea I feel ya I'm going through the same 😢
@@sashanova719it’s actually spelled angsty (I understand the error tho lol)
Right now I’m going through a tunnel of nostalgic tunes while processing the trauma of my recent car wreck. I remember back in middle school, my skinny body clad with baggy clothes to hide the neglect and pain it went through, blasting this song over my MP3 player towards the middle of the bus while hunched over and hiding while I cried. After going through so much to this day, I’m still alive to hear this song again. I’m sure little girl me thought I’d be dead by now. Hell, sometimes I still feel like I am. But I know now that whatever life throws at me, all I can do is wait for my wings to shed so they can grow back again ❤️
Any songs you wanna recommend?
U got me crying woman...life is a gift do your best to hold on...💞💞💞
🎼❤
I’m so sorry.keep hanging on live with these peoples songs and life gets much better:)
After reading all of that, it feels like looking in a mirror. It's never easy.
Regardless, hang in there.
You can hear the honesty in her voice! Thank goodness that all these incredible videos are still available!
There old stuff are timeless
Paramore: Brick By Boring Brick
[Verse 1]
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure

Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic
[Verse 3]
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
Then you can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
[Chorus]
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
(You'll be better off without me now)
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

I was hoping someone had put up the lyrics. Thanks!

The worst part of nostalgia is the more you turn to it, the duller the emotion becomes.
thank god someone understands
@ same god finally someone understands
Don't wanna be that person, but I'm gonna be. Who else is listening to this masterpiece in 2021?
Me-
It popped into my head today out of the blue and now I can’t stop reliving my childhood days 🖤
Me. This song just does it’s thing
YEEEEESSSS
☺
I love this song, because to me, it's a depressing song hidden behind happy chords, happy progressions and optimistic lyrics.
Yes! I thought the same...
+Ashlee Nicole Awesome! :)
lol you should listen to "hollywood undead - bullet" then
now that is a confusing song
+JezDayy That sort of defines this whole album to me... its very interesting
+JezDayy well there was a reason behind the existence of this very song, if i remember correctly...
beruntung nya generasi 90-an dimanjakan oleh serial kartun di tv dan lagu2 berisi lirik penuh arti
I wonder how many people are like me and discovered this band within the last couple years and are now a fan for life!
Lmao meeeeee
They were one of the first bands I got into in 2021, and they’re pushing my top 10 bands already
@@69JMAN420 That says heaps considering how wide of a range of music you listen to. I saw your playlist on your channel. You have some bands on there I am going to have to check out.
@@69JMAN420 ima have to check out your playlist too lol
@@henryjones3872 I used to edit it quite frequently, but I’ve been going back to bands I’ve already listened to to either relisten to their discography or finish their discography, although I will get into more bands during that
So after reading a very informative article about Monarch mind control, I FINALLY figured out what this song means- it seems that the young girl is a victim of monarch mind control and Hayley is the personality that the girl left behind when she got mind controlled- and Hayley is singing the song to the alternate personality to wake up and face reality to break free from her mind control. When the girl finally figures it out and does so, she "dies" in a sense, and the original personality of pre-mind control Hayley returns, which explains why the girl gets buried in the grave. Am i the only one who thinks this is the message of the song..?
You're not the only one. Take it from someone who's been there.
Thats de
Alphazon deep
Emily Marcin You are insightful. This is much like the video _"Katy Perry - Wide Awake"_. There are many of the same elements,
- Smaller 'Katy Perry'
- Butterfly symbolism
- Fracturing
- Dissociation
- Alice in wonderland references
- Countless mirrors
- "illumination"
- bad "men"
- Little girl disappearing at the end.
This crap everywhere. I am glad there are more people out there that can see it for what it is.
Thank you. :) first I was like wow cool song,but what is the message and what is wrong now, why is the girl killed? And now I read your comment and it was changing my thoughts like THAT MAKES THE SONG EVEN BETTER 😁
Btw I'am german so my English is not the best xD sorry for that
11 years later, I'm appreciating this masterpiece
same! I never realized what this song is about
same
Song yes, 360p NO :D
WTF The song Say that was upload 10 years ago
Ggggggggggģgggģģ
Her blonde hair was so pretty, idk how she can pull off literally any color 😭

Paramore was so 🔥 back then. I still love them. But this era was on a different level.
Peak Paramore
Right 🔥🔥@@b_f_d_d
This will always be my favorite Paramore song
emo mcr me2

Its good highway music for sure....
For me, it's a tie between The Only Exception and this. Brand New Eyes was a damn good album, man.
@@myozawtun4783 still their best album imo! ignorance, brick, exception my fave paramore songs
This whole song is really about giving up your childhood that’s why the little girl gives up her butterfly wings and falls in a hole only to get buried by and older version of herself
I never realised that's what it meant XD
How we can do it, if we keeping hear them!
I believe the song can have many different meanings for different people. I always have a different image in my mind of what I think the song is about until I see the video.
Thanks for the likes I’m glad y’all appreciate good nostalgic music
Well that's a little bit creepy, though I see the point
This is no longer my favorite Paramore song, but it was the first one I ever heard, and just listening to the opening music notes gives me chills to this day.
Her hair looks so pretty in this...I mean she looks pretty in general but you know...
Bambi yeah, she's fucking stunning in this video.
i prefer her red hair..that's more her personality..here she looks just like another taylor swift..
It's a change from the usual . I'm just saying its pretty and I respect your opinion.
Bambi i respect urs too, just saying my personal fav of her hair, that's all, peace!
True so true. Especially in Now.
It's so refreshing to hear a song that's not about goddamn love for once.
Too many songs about love, drives me crazy.
Fantastic rock song is like pizza, absolutely everyone enjoys it!
*watch?v=el3cHidIiAU*
The music is outstanding!
UA-cam the video URL today!!!
actually most of Paramore's songs aren't 'bout love...I presume
misscuntstrewed Yup, except for Still Into You?
Maddie Cutester And The Only Exception. And Lovesick Melody. And All I Wanted... They have many love songs and there's nothing wrong with that.
"You built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic" This line. This one line has described pretty much my entire life.
While I was going through the most dark time of my life, I convinced myself I was okay. That I was normal. Because I was so ashamed of myself. I pretended my anxiety wasn't as bad as it really was. I pretended my depressive episodes were normal. I focused so much on other people(my ex friends) because I wanted to uphold this delusion that I was okay, that I was in any place to be that therapist friend, when I really wasn't. *I* needed that help. *I* needed that comfort. *I* needed to be told it was all going to be okay and that they were there for me. Even though that wasn't the case for those ex friends, now I have friends who are really there for me. Friends I can have fun with. Friends that don't make fun of me for being emotional or sensitive. They embrace me with open arms and they accept me for who I truly am. Thank you, to those friends and my dearest older brother and my precious dog. You saved my life. That is no exaggeration.
(I am in a better place now and I'm getting better. I'm learning to accept myself and cope with my anxiety. I'm in a far better place than when I used to be so please don't worry about me too much. I'm better than I've ever been and I'm getting where I want to be.)

My favorite Paramore song of all time. It's even my ringtone for many years now. Paramore for Life!!!! Rock On!!!!
Sos fan de diez
Only perversity this song
not rock anymore :p
I never realized how “dark” this was as a middle schooler
Yeah, it's really bleak video!
Xavier Vanity same! 😂😂 things were simple then
Same
Can someone explain pls i watched the video but cant piece together what it means?
Daniel churchill it’s about dead little girl or dying little girl. The video not the song.
This song reminds me of; when having a tramatic event in childhood, causing a lost sense of reality, and then growing up with reality slapping you in the face with all the bad memories coming back into play. The castle being buried represents , burying your memories, and when the castle is no longer buried your memories keep coming back.
Makes it sound like certain traumatic events are being avoided - we can't keep that kind of thing locked up, under layer upon layer of stone-cold hardiness. It comes out eventually, somehow, some way.
Glad im not the only one..cheers!
DUDE, I HAVE THE SAME REALITY ISSUE
As long as she holds the Microphone, we're still into you Hayley. I love PARAMORE :)
I see what you did there lol 👍

agreed lol
People might disagree with me on this. But when you look at the number of underrated deep cuts, hit songs and absolute bangers compared to other albums. Brand New Eyes is the best album that this band has produced
Paramore -
Great drums
Great riffs
And vocals hot enough to melt a diamond
I'm going back to my old emo/punk days and listening to all these old-school Paramore songs. I miss songs like this, I miss the time of the 2000's when all the legendary punk bands came out. I miss this & that legendary 2007-2009 punk sound. Ah, what a time it was to be alive.
I wasn't old enough to enjoy it when it was new 😭
Azarel Doroteo I kind of was. I was in the middle. I was about 10, around this time, and I had went through some shit. Plus, I've always been a lot older, mentally, so.
Who else is here beacuse of the quarantine? I'm in a Paramore Maraton to bring me back memories
Same fam , sam
E*🤣
same ! just thinking about how Hayley Williams is probably the best vocalist and I don't know why I stopped listening :')
I'm always here darling
Me! I'm in a nostalgic moment. The feelings :')
I used to own this cd when it came out. Singing alone in my room at 16. Memorizing all the songs. Skipping dinner just to learn the lyrics 😂❤
I had a zune. Punk and goth was in full power. It was awesome. Gaming and music and movies, everything was so much better.
I was going through all of my paramore songs and I swear it's like every song flipped a different switch that triggered not specific memories necessarily, but memories of things I felt in my early teenage years when all I really had was my music. I fucking love Paramore.
I know right!!@hale to the PARAMORES!!
AND THIS FN QUARENTINE SHIT!!!🤟
I never realized how beautiful hayley and her voice was, and still is
what I understand from this video
you lived a life where you tried to fit in with the rest
you shrouded yourself with glitz and glamour
you gave them an illusion that somehow your fooling them
once they found out who you are
you tried to forget it, so you dug a hole for your mistakes
but you suddenly became part of your own burrial of mistakes
Woop.
i agree
wow that's deep, dude.
I thought it was about living in your dreams but Hayley wanted to live reality and she buries the castle with all of the magical things that are not real
I thought it was her growing up and leaving her childish thoughts and make believe worlds behind.
the drums in this music is out of this world
Paramore has notoriously had good drums
I'm a 30 year old heterosexual man, married, with two beautiful kids; but I stan Paramore till I die!
BAHAHA YESSSS
Yaseen Baker I aspire to become that
Damn right!!!
Are you me?
@@tamarocker90rl6 Are you awesome too?
I remember walking my high school halls singing "Bury the queso, bury the quesooooo" while listening to this song my MP3 player. Few years later I got my hearing checked. Turns out I'm deaf and been singing wrong lyrics for YEARS!
😂 Glad you got it checked!
Awwww baby! At least you're better and more in tune with your other senses.
Lol hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
By the way, this song taught me how to pronounce correctly the word castle.
My mom still sings bury the Quesoo too hahahahahah I'm dead 🎉🤣🤣🤣

Like music with lyrics? can see my channel :)
Ill never forget being in fourth grade when this song came out, and I would watch the music video so intently when it would come on MTV's music video compilations in the morning before school. I would imagine the little girl was me and Haley was my future older self watching over me- and now I am that age. Such sacred memories
*eternally crying because I didn't appreciate hayley's blonde hair more in 2010*
same here. I can't find any high quality pics of it anywhere.
+Juan Monter Look up "Blonde Hayley Williams". there's actually quite a few
+Juan Monter look up hayley williams brick by boring brick, then it has her and her hair everywhere!
I prefer her orange hair
I like the blonde but loved red to
This song takes me back to my high school days and when I started having a crush for Hayley. This is nostalgia man. Good old days that won't be back.
I know this song through a girl I talked to 15 years ago, called Tamara kuper, she was German, we talked through an app I don't remember for sure the name anymore, but she had a good taste for music, today I have no more contact with her, but I wish you the best of this life!
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest she can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Woah
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba da ba ba
This song simultaneously slaps me in the face and gives me a big warm hug, and it hurts like heck but it feels like home…ya know?
Here it is 2022…. Me at nearly 34 yrs old in my bed like old times just jamming out to one of the best bands of my generation, taking me back to a much simpler time! This album was my escape in a very dark time of abuse…. I’m so grateful to have been there for every single album this band put out from All we know to self titled… all of them have been inspiring and helped me through something in one way or another!
I'm also almost 34 and reminiscing about the simple times in my life. 😢 I wish I could turn back time.
Lot of good vibes❤
I was... Almost 16, music was definitely the only reason i made it through everything.
Thank you Paramore for all your music that you made. You are one of my most favourite music interpretes. Greetings from Czech Republic.
It took me all these years to understand how deep this actually is......growing up takes off your wings and makes you want to fcking die.
True
I agree and that’s why I’d rather be in the fantasy world than the real world.
As someone who grew up in a bad home- nope. Growing up freed me from chains.
Where's the retweet button? This comment is the fucking true
None of you get it at all. The song is literally about how somebody who has a bad life so creates a fantasy world and becomes numb to reality, but now she instead of the victim she becomes the agressor because she can't care for those who are weaker than her and now she's realizing she needs to destroy her own fantasy and get in touch in reality again if it's hurts, because reality it's still better, life is still better than death. Read the lyrics, that's why she buring the castle. Her years as child hidden from the world. She doesn't need that anymore because she is an adult who can defend herself.
I like how Hayley clapping at the end looks kinda like her dusting off her hands after digging the hole. Nice little touch.
But she didnt even touch the shovel throughout the whole video :/
In my opinion, the little girl is Hayley as a child. and she has a very bad childhood including her dad abusing her. And now she's grown up, she wants to bury all the sad memory and forget about it.
it was her stepfather.
I thought the story was about running away then it feeling ok at first then it just getting harder but when she wants to come back home they dnt let her back in. *dont attack me for my opinion please lol*
derick majors Why should we?
It's her way of burying the past. Seems correct.
not sure how u got about being abused but yeah lel
"Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic"- this hits me so hard.
I loved how the colors helped represent the two sides of the story in the music video. like Hayley was in the magical fantasy land and the little girl 's world then fell apart causing her to be burried. to me, the song is about the loss of child like innocence, hence Hayley burring the girl and throwing the toy towards the hole
I rather thought the 'castle' represented the scary and dark things, as it made the little girl cry and run away, and that the little girl represents 'Hayley's past', and thus the act of 'burying the castle' symbolizes burying all the negative things from the past in order to live in the now and be positive.
How I got addicted to Paramore:
Me: *looks for song online* Hm. Paramore... I've heard of them.
*twenty minutes later*
Me: dear lord I have an addiction
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY
I love paramores music but for me it's more of a hayley Williams addiction. She so hot
me too =)
XxCharlotteGuineaxX This pretty much explains any new Paramore fans these days...
Including me!
XxCharlotteGuineaxX thats exactly the same thing
Hayley Williams- vocals
Josh Farro- lead guitar
Taylor York- rhythm guitar
Jeremy Davis- bass
Zac Farro- drums
09/06/23 - the man who introduced this song to me way back 2011 just died and it's tearing my heart real hard. I will be missing you, my world full of magic. rest now, babe.
I don't care what year it is I'm always going to be listening to paramore. 💕
Same here
Old paramore for me, not diggin their new stuff
@@valixiya Its ok for loving their old stuff but we should appreciate their new stuff too, cap
Man I miss the innocent days listening to this not even knowing shit about life 😂
@Drew R fucking for real 😂😂😮💨
guessing your real life is tragic?
Yea these songs all hit differently now we are no longer teens haha
I've literally never seen this video before, these videos were recommended to me based on what I watch, still super young and I hate it like I wanna skip this whole being a teenager phase and just be an adult already, its the worst.
@@tochukwuudu7763 nah but I got stresses & thinking I had it tough then vs now lol
Let's take a moment to appreciate 1.) 2009 special effects and 2.) back when Hayley was blonde.
Teddi Darling she dyed her hair blonde now
Teddi Darling i was forget about her hair colors for the first time I knew paramore 😫
Her hair is dyed color blonde now
To be specific platinum blonde
she's blonde now.
This song came out when I was 12- It kind of reminds me of simple times when nothing was difficult and I was running around in my family home and things were somewhat put together and we all got along. :(
If Alice and wonderland ever became a TV series, this should be the theme song
@@IamNektar Yess I know right, still pissed that it got cancelled :(
YES
Shut up
@@NucIearChrist Whoaaaa man, who pissed in your cereal?
@@TheJpiscool Darc Entity your right. I should have said that "it's all about the exposure, the lens I told her. The angles were all wrong now, She ripping wings off of butterflies."
A partir de este video, Paramore empezo a hacer videos muy muy horribles. Ejemplo esta Still Into You o Now, esos videos no son gratos de mirar. Prefiero sus videos de antes, la verdad!
a partir de este video?? The ONly Exception, Playing God y Monster son de los mejores vídeos que ha tenido Paramore y salieron después de este...
Lyon Rg Solo Playing God, por que los otros ni al caso...
Diego Ceron Monster es muy bueno :c
que conetario tan boludo... a partir dle ultimo disco se mandaron una boludes. pero los videos y temas de sus primeros 3 discos...son barbaros
***** No salio primero Ignorance que BBBB? Porque Ignorance segun yo salio antes y ese video esta buenisimo! :D pero despues de BBBB los videos estan muy feos, a excepción de Playing God :3
I'm so glad I had older cousins they showed me Paramore when I was like 6 and we used to listen to everyone of there songs now I'm 14 and I get emotional listening to this
got to bless older relatives for exposing us to such gold
Camar Davis omg same but it was my older sisters, now i’m 14 and the nostalgia omg
the exact same happened to me 😶 except it was my sister
Same 4 me except my mum
God bless your older cousins for introducing you to Paramore.
when life seems tragic people run to castles in order to cope but when you realize that castle is actually a dungeon that's when you need to run out of there, mourn if you have to, scream if you need to, but after that stand up firm, the man digging the hole represents a true friend who will be by your side like a brave warrior in this battle called reality, and this warrior will be your fuel of continuous courage and unlimited light giving you success to carry on, that friend is a sibling, a stranger, a spouse, God.
It's 2022 and three years into the pandemic, but this song reminds us to "Keep your feet on the ground, When your head's in the clouds". Brick by boring brick we continue to build our heart!
Still fall in love with this song
I listened this song when I was 15 and now I am 25..... whenever I feel lonely or sad this song always helps me to recover..thank you so much for creating this amazing song❤️
❤
Literally!😩
My current fave. I'm crying, I can relate. I'm still waiting for the day that I'll get my own shovel, to dig a deep hole and bury my own castle of imaginations, then bring it to real life.
This song means soooo much to me,
It came on the tv right after the break up with the mother of my kid. I had to learned to play it. When my daughter was just a baby in her pack-n-play. I would play it for her and sing it while she bounced around in it. I would have hidden tears in my eyes while playing while she did. Now that she is older. I still play it and it has new meaning. This song is powerful af
This song takes me back to the good old days of my late preteen and early teen years, one of those eras of my life that I'd always love to go back to.
Ainda choro sempre que escuto essa música, de tão boa que é, é nostálgico e ao mesmo tempo emocionante... As coisas eram tão simples.
Paramore tem que voltar a fazer música desse nível .
Essa musica era febre no lançamento junto de Nightmare do Avenged.
Até que enfim! Brasileiros nos comentários 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@SergioWolf843era febre na MixTV e na MTV, voltava da escola e ia assistir o Top10. Época maravilhosa!
When I first heard it, I didn't know English. Now I understand the song and it's much more SAD Then I thought :/
"You build up a world of magic because your real life was tragic."
My High School Emo Fucking Days I remember I was bullied at school and my parents were going through separation having to go home to them always fighting and throwing stuff around and then at school my classmates were doing shit to me and my assignments. I was trying to escape my fucking reality back then.
paramore is friggin amazing(:
and Hayley is just soo pretty I wish I was that pretty
Sierra Rogers You obviously learned nothing from this song.
Jenn Fiorentino hgg, knot
Dawn Williams and perfect
*was
I was 18 when I first heard paramore songs now im 32😂 time flies so fast but paramore's songs never gets old
You must be born on 1990 rights?
We get old but Paramore never does
Hahaha 90's generations are the best..
They inherited the Hard Work of 70's people and passed down lots of technology upgrade to genZ...
@@CF-gv3bi We are the greatest generation! We were raised oldschool.
We saw the rise of the internet and everything it created.
We got to see all the best video games & movies when they come out!
Nintendo/Rareware...Pokemon...Lord of the Rings...Harry Potter!
We got to witness the greatest things that ever happened in media.
It was new and kids today will never know what's it was like to have been there!
Same! Born in 1990 babayyy
Been listening to this so much lately.
still listening this song till now . i miss hayley voice
but hayley is not mute, wdym?
Haley still sings she just sold out for the making shity pop music
hayleys voice is stronger than it ever was. if you dont like the direction the new music has taken, fine. but you can't deny hayley is still an incredible singer.
They didn't sell out, plus there missing a band member.
@@theepicethangamer8941 WTF? If you listen this music when this record was out I sorry to tell yo that YOU was listening to comercial music too.
will forever be known as the period where Hayley's hair was a relatively normal color
thought that was a wig?
+GovernmentProperty 115 nah
I went from Beyonce to Paramore. Idk how this happened lmaooo
#throwingbackbeforeThursday #1eaSBHD2ssA
her hair is blonde now
She looks so good with orange hair 😍😍😍😍😍
Man, really 14 years ago... time frickin flies, i miss sitting at home after school, on myspace, AIM messenger, sneaking out at night with my two best friends, both who have passed now... im getting older now, just miss these days. Beautiful song 🖤
I can't help but feel that there's a deeper meaning to this song that I'm missing
Childhood trauma, and the desire to escape from those memories
The things aren't as we want these.
to me this seems like mind control
Monarch programming
Tempo que eu tinha 16 anos!!!! Melhor época da minha vida!!!!
Saudades dessa época.....
AF saudades
This song came from God it’s so good. It’s immaculate. Everything from the guitars to the lyrics to the vocals. Tied together seemlessly. Paramore and Hayley are astounding
Brick By Boring Brick
Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens, I told her
The angles were all wrong, now she's
Ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra
So one day, he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick and the clock struck twelve, well, make sure
To build your home brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
I want bury the castle
Bury the castle
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, ohh
Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic
Well, if it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel (you'll be better)
And we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now)
To bury the castle (ooh)
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel (you'll be better)
And we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now)
To bury the castle (ooh)
Bury the castle
Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra
Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa
Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra
Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa (pa)
Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra
Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa
Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra
Pa ra pa pa pa p-pa pa pa
keep your feet on the ground, when your heads in the clouds 💜
We're living in a Beautiful Dream and we don't wanna wake up. 💛💛
Tap tap tap , excuse me , but it's time to wake up !
