    LYRICS:
    The grass wasn’t green enough here,
    After watering it with my tears,
    I’m not sure where you went,
    Now we are, just past tense,
    And the snakes, they are slithering in,
    Chasing me to my end,
    I can’t say where that is,
    I’m running again

    And when I get there,
    It won’t be far enough,
    I’m a renegade,
    It’s in my blood,
    If ever I get there,
    It won’t be fast enough,
    I’m a renegade,
    I always was.

    And the spark never lit up the fire,
    Though we tried and tried and tried,
    The wind came through your lungs,
    A hurricane from your tongue,
    And I’ll keep your secrets with me,
    Right behind my teeth,
    your anger, your anchor,
    But I’ll sail more further on,
    Ah, on

    And when I get there,
    it won’t be far enough,
    I’m a renegade,
    It’s in my blood,
    If ever I get there,
    It won’t be fast enough,
    I’m a renegade,
    I always was,

    I’ll keep running
    I’ll keep running again
    keep running
    I’ll keep running
    running, running
    Keep running, running
    running

    And when I get there
    it won’t be far enough
    I’m a renegade
    It’s in my blood
    If ever I get there
    It won’t be fast enough
    I’m a renegade
    I always was

    I’m a renegade
    I always was.

    What do you think the lyrics mean?


    Many people have been discussing whether they have a preference towards the live version played at the FBR15 show or the actual studio version.
    I personally prefer the studio version, but that's just me.

Absolutely love this song! Don't know what you all are complaining about - all their songs are edited to some degree....

I love the song because of how optimistic and rebellious it is, which is why I love Paramore in the first place. My only concern is about whether the new album will be about band drama, past or present. I realize that it sells well for many artist including Paramore to make songs based on their problems, but it would be nice to see a little variety and a different message for once.

• It's the best of the singles collection easily taking the overproduced Hello Cold World, Which I do not like at all, There is a snippet In The Mourning studio version out on you tube, I'll post it if I can find it again, which is also stripped of its soul by nonsensical studio production. The live version of Renegade is much better than the studio version just as Taylor and Hayley's rendition of In The Mourning posted in the video's section as well as the live versions crush the studio release. Both songs actualize their potential live.

This song is amazing. I think its Hayley's regret about running from love in the past and her anger at the people who have left her and who have hurt her but told her they loved her, which forced her to run from people who say they care about her.

JonnyLilley's picture

Am i the only one who thinks this song isn't amazing? I don't know what to make of it at the moment, hopefully it will grow on me.

paramanic4ever's picture

one of the best songs in the world only PERFECT bands can write songs like this

@the backwards race

Bullshit you can.
The accusations that are being claimed against it without any real evidence is ridiculous.
Until you know exactly how it was edited I'm just gonna say that your "opinion" is full of shit with no factual basis.

@Audumn: I thought it was "I'll be watching you with my tears" actually :/ I don't know...

MYSTUPIDFEETKEEPMOVING's picture

@paramoreprincess13: it is

@paramorefreak9083: but obviously you didn't get the studio version of in the morning or renegade my friend. If you did you would have bought the singles club. And the studio version of in the morning hasn't even been released yet anyway. We are talking STUDIO versions here lol. And that Hello Cold World thing you found has to be fake. Give me the link:)

@Matt: lol I can judge the sound of any song. It's like how I don't like the sound of Friday (well Friday is 100000000 times worse and not even comparable but you know what I mean) or nails on a chalk board. I just don't like it. And you can't change that. I may not like the sound. But I still adore the lyris and live version, though!

paramoreprincess13's picture

isn't it
"oh when i get there?" :)

Hiddenstar's picture

not my favorite, but i like it(:

Audumn's picture

I think its "After washing it with my tears" it makes sense.

renegade_rach's picture

@ParamoreFreak9083 How do you know it is actually a preview of the song? There are countless fakes on youtube claiming to be unheard songs.

ParamoreFreak9083's picture

But I already have In The Mourning and Renegade recorded on my ipod :( Plus there's a preview of Hello Cold World on Youtube :D

MYSTUPIDFEETKEEPMOVING's picture

@ParamoreFreak9083: if you had ordered the singles club you would've known that in the email with the link to renegade it also said that hello cold world would be released via email on the 7th of nov and in the mourning would be released on the 5th of dec via email.....

ParamoreFreak9083's picture

I agree with Fiona The Human! I WANNA HEAR HELLO COLD WORLD! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! Missa made a comic on it and on In The Mourning and I'm working on Monster's comic :) They're really good.

I honestly like both versions of the song :) AND WHO CRES IF THEY EDIT HER VOICE A LITTLE! Just be happy it's not like Britaney Spears where they use like 1,000 buttons to make her voice sound better and it has no affect :|

Sunny_Christa's picture

I really love this song. It's very different.This song instantly got my attention. The lyrics are great. I luvvv the song played live and the studio version! It's great.......

fearlessmonster's picture

It rocks.

Rachel Fabuleux's picture

I personally really dislike it. I love the lyrics but that's it.

MidnightFelicis97's picture

@The Backwards Race
Oh please. You can't judge that! The style of song is just different completely to other songs.

MYSTUPIDFEETKEEPMOVING's picture

@Rach: but never THAT MUCH -__-

renegade_rach's picture

Hayleys voice is edited in every Paramore song apart from Misguided Ghosts. So quit ya whining about it ;)

MYSTUPIDFEETKEEPMOVING's picture

@Matt: yeah well what ever they did, I am not crazy over it and hope they don't do it again. The end ;)
