An Analysis of Meaning Properties and Relation in teh Paramore's Aong Album Brand New Eyes

  APPENDIX 1. Paramore - Careful Lyrics

  I settled down A twisted up frown Disguised as a smile, well You would've never known I had it all But not what I wanted 'Cause hope for me Was a place uncharted And overgrown You'd make your way in I resisted just like this You can't tell me to feel The truth never set me free So, I did it myself You can't be too careful anymore

  When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out a little more More More More, more Open your eyes, Like I opened mine It's only the real world.

  A life you will never know Shifting your weight To throw off the pain Well you can ignore it But, only for so long You look like I did You resist me just like this

  You can't tell me to heal And, 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 out a little more More More More, more The truth never set me free The truth never set me free The truth never set me free So, I'll do it myself You can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out 2.

   Paramore - Ignorance Lyrics

  If I'm a bad person, you don't like me Well I guess I'll make my own way It's a circle, a mean cycle I can't excite you anymore Where's your gavel? Your jury? What's my offense this time? You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me Well sentence me to another life Don't wanna hear your sad songs Don't wanna feel your pain When you swear it's all my fault

  'Cause you know we're not the same (no) We're not the same (no), Oh we're not, the same Yeah we're friends who stuck together We wrote our names in blood But I guess you can't accept that The change is good (hey), it's good (hey), it's good Well you treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out You treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out Ignorance is your new best friend Ignorance is your new best friend

  This is the best thing, that could've happened Any longer and I wouldn't have made it It's not a war no it's not a rapture I'm just a person but you can't take it The same tricks that, that once fooled me They won't get you anywhere I'm not the same kid, from your memory Well now I can fend for myself Don't wanna hear your sad songs Don't wanna feel your pain When you swear it's all my fault 'Cause you know we're not the same (no) We're not the same (no), Oh we're not, the same Yeah we used to stick together We wrote our names in blood But I guess you can't accept that The change is good (hey), it's good (hey), it's good Well you treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out You treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out Ignorance is your new best friend Ignorance is your new best friend Ignorance is your new best friend Ignorance is your new best friend Well you treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go

  I best be on my way out You treat me just like Another stranger Well it's nice to meet you, Sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out Can't be too careful anymore When all that is waiting for you Won't come any closer You've got to reach out More More More More, more

  Can't make my own decisions Or make any with precision Well maybe you should tie me up So I don't go where you don't want me

  You say that I been changing that I'm not just simply aging Yeah how could that be logical? Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror If God's the game that you're playing Well we must get more acquainted Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who's holy It's just my humble opinion But it's one that I believe in

3. Paramore - Playing God Lyrics

  You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror This is the last second chance (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm half as good as it gets (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm on both sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror) Without a hint of regret I'll hold you to it I know you don't believe me

  But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror I know you won't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror

  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 angels 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 Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle, bury the castle Ba da ba da ba 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

4.Paramore - Brick by Boring Brick Lyrics

  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 Well go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To 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 Well if it's true You can see it with your eyes

  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 da ba...

  I scraped my knees while I was praying And found a demon in my safest haven Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts I wanna know what it'd be like To find perfection in the pride To see nothing in the light But turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite

  I'll turn it off And the worst part is, before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff Then in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom The tragedy it seems unending I'm watching everyone I looked up to breaking, bending Taking shortcuts and false solutions Just to come out the hero Well I can see behind the curtain The wheels are cranking turning It's all wrong the way we're working Towards a goal, that's nonexistent, it's nonexistent But we just keep believing And the worst part is, before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize

5.Paramore - Turn It Off Lyrics

  I'm better off when I hit the bottom I wanna know what it'd be like To find perfection in my pride To see nothing in the light And turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite I'll turn it off Just turn it off Again Again, again And the worst part is, before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom And the worst part is, before it gets any better We're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom

  

6.Paramore - The Only

Exception Lyrics

  When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my momma swore that she would Never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist But, Darling, you are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception Maybe I know somewhere Deep in my soul that love never lasts We've got to find other ways To make it alone keep a straight face

  And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable, distance Up until now I had sworn to myself That I'm content with loneliness 'Cause none of it was ever worth the risk Well you are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception and I I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't! Let go of what's in front of me here! I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up! Leave me with some kind of proof if not a dream, but Oh-Oh-Oh! You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception You are, the only exception And I'm on my way to believing Oh and I'm on my way to believing

  We still live the same town, well don't we? But I don't see you around anymore. I go to all the same places Not even a trace of you. Your days are numbered at 24.

  And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you. We're not getting any younger.

  And I won't look back 'cause there's no use. Its time to move forward.

  I feel no sympathy. You live inside a cave You barely get by, the rest of us are trying There's no need to apologize I've got no time for feeling sorry.

  Well I try not to think of what might happen. When your reality it finally cuts through. Well as for me I got out and I'm on the road. The worst part is that this, this could be you.

  You know it too. You can't run from your shame.

  You're not getting any younger. Time keeps passing by but you wave it away.

  Its time to roll over. I feel no sympathy. You live inside a cave.

  You barely get by, the rest of us are trying. There's no need to apologize I've got no time for feeling sorry.

  All the best lies they are told with fingers tied. So cross them tight. Won't you promise me tonight. If its the last thing you do you'll get out.

  I feel no sympathy. You live inside a cave. You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

7.Paramore - Feeling Sorry Lyrics

  There's no need to apologize I've got no time, I've got no time.

  I feel no sympathy. You live inside a cave. You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

  There's no need to apologize I've got no time. I've got no time for feeling sorry. I've got no time for feeling sorry.

  Things are looking up Oh, finally I thought I'd never see the day When you'd smile at me We always pull through Oh, when we try I'm always wrong But you're never right Oh, you're never right 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, no It's not a dream anymore It's worth fighting for Could have given up so easily

  I was a few cheap shots away From the end of me Taken for granted Almost everything That I would have died for Just yesterday 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, no It's not a dream anymore It's worth fighting for God knows the world doesn't need another band Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh But what a waste it would've been Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh I can't believe we almost hung it up

  Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh We're just getting started Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh 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, no It's not a dream anymore, no, oh It's not a dream anymore, no, oh It's not a dream anymore It's worth fighting for I can't believe we almost hung it up Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh We're just getting started Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh I can't believe we almost hung it up Whoa, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh

8.Paramore - Looking Up Lyrics

  We're just getting started Yeah, we're just getting started

  Give me attention I need it now Too much distance To measure it out Out loud Tracing patterns across a personal map And making pictures where the lines overlap Where the lines overlap No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Call me over Tell me how you got so far Never making a single sound I'm not used to it but I can learn Nothing to it I've never been happier

  I've never been happier No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Now I've got a feeling If I sang this loud enough You would sing it back to me I've got a feeling If I sang this loud enough You would sing it back to me I've got a feeling I've got a feeling You would sing it back to me You would sing it back to me No one is as lucky as us We're not at the end but oh we already won No one is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us Is as lucky as us

  I'm going away for a while But I'll be back Don't try to follow me 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible See, I'm trying to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes And run from them, from them With no direction We'll run from them, from them With no conviction 'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Travelin' endlessly Don't need no roads In fact, they follow me And we just go in circles And now I'm told that this is life That pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it

9.Paramore - Where The Lines Overlap Lyrics

10.Paramore - Misguided Ghosts Lyrics

  Would someone care to classify? A broken heart and some twisted minds So I can find someone to rely on And run to them, to them Full speed ahead Oh, you are not useless We are just Misguided ghosts Travelin' endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away And there's no one road We should not be the same But I'm just a ghost And still they echo me They echo me in circles

  Think of me when you're out When you're out there I'll beg you nice from my knees

  And when the world treats you way too fairly Well it's a shame I'm a dream All I wanted was you All I wanted was you I think I'll pace my apartment a few times And fall asleep on the couch Wake up early, to black and white re-runs That escape from my mouth, oh All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you I could follow you to the beginning Just to relive the start Maybe then we'd remember to slow down At all of our favorite parts All I wanted was you All I wanted was you

  All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you

  12.Paramore - Decode Lyrics

  How could I decide what's right? When you're clouding up my mind I can't win your losing fight, all the time How could I ever own what's mine When you're always taking sides? But you won't take away my pride No not this time, not this time How did we get here? When I used to know you so well But how did we get here? Well I think I know The truth is hiding in your eyes And it's hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood

11.Paramore - All I Wanted Lyrics

  But you think that I can't see How did we get here? When I used to know

  What kind of man that you so well you are I think I know, I think I

  If you're a man at all know well, I'll figure this one out

  There is something, I see On my own (I'm in you screaming "I love you so")

  It might kill me, I want it to be true, Ooh-Ooh On my own (My thoughts you can't decode) How did we get here? When I used to know you so well, Yeah-Eh How did we get here? Well I think I know Do you see, what we've done? We've gone and made such fools, of ourselves Do you see, what we've done? We've gone and made such fools, of ourselves Yeah-Yeah, Hey-Hey How did we get here? When I used to know you so well Yeah, Yeah-Hey, Hey- Yeah
