Wow, just listened to paramore's new single 'Ignorance' in their new album 'Brand New Eyes' I must say, WOW. Great meaning, and damn catchy lyrics. I seemed to particulary like how angsty she sings this.
"If I'm a bad person, you don't like me.
I guess I'll go, make my own way.
I'ts 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 its all my fault.
Cuz' you know were not the same.(NO!) We're not the same (NO!)
Oh, were not the same.
The friends who stuck together.
We wrote our names in blood.
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good.
Its good...
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... (2x)
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 cant take it.
The same tricks that onced fooled me.
They wont 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.
I dont wanna feel your pain.
When you swear it's all my fault.
Cuz'you know were not the same.(NO!) We're not the same (NO!)
Oh, were not the same.
We used to stick together.
We wrote our names in blood.
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good.
Is good...
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...(4x)
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."
It's like flan (a dessert) for your ears!! Cannot wait to see the other tracks on this album.
For the meaning: I think, it's about someone in a friendship that just ended, maybe because the other person was manipulitave and cold to them, notice the chorus (You treat me just like another stranger...) And so she (or the 'someone') decided to stop being friends with them, and ignore them. Leading to "Ignorance is your new best friend.)
So yeah that's all I got to say on Ignorance, my rating (4/5)
