Brick By Boring Brick
Appears on:
brand new eyes
Lyrics:

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

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle

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 12
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

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle

You built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic

If it's not real you can't hold it in your hands
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
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle

Sorry, but I need to post a follow up to my last comment. I've given this more thought and I have become rather upset about the article I left a link to. I wanted to leave a comment there, but the comments seem to be full or closed. So, I did leave my comment in another forum making similar accusations. I just don't understand how people could make such serious accusations about a good band when they really don't know what they're talking about. Anyway, here's where I posted: http://pseudoccultmedia.blogspot.com/2009/11/paramores-monarch-internal-world.html I'm comment #65, dated 3/31/10

I absolutely love this song. Can't get it out of my head. For some reason I'm a bit haunted by the meaning of the song. I'm really intrigued and wonder if my gut is on the right track. I did some looking online to see if there are any theories out there. But, I don't accept speculation as fact and would love it if Paramore would tell us here what the real meanings are. I did find this one article... http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2917 The symbolism seems spot on and fit a lot of my theories... however, the author accuses Paramore of actually being a part of the mind control! I am upset at this accusation because it seems so obvious to me that the "we" will bury the castle indicates that they want to HELP the young Hayley get over this painful past. Can anyone validate my theories??
