| Paramore – Brick by Boring Brick Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I'm gonna take a stab at this that many people might not understand. i think it's about a girl whose so forgone from reality because of drugs. the building up of bricks is the increased tolerance (bring by boring brick). The girl has to take more to feel normal and a lot more to get high. When you're an addict, you're disconnected from reality. Keep your feet on the ground when your head is in the clouds: Girls on so many drugs that her life is completely ditatched fro reality. A shovel could be something and dig a deep hole is that someone was enabling her. Burying the castle could also mean escaping from life through drugs. -Well you built up a world of magic, because your real life is track, yeah you built up a world of magic - Built up a huge tolereance to drugs. Can't function without them. The shovel, well big a deep hole, to bury the castle -Rehab, someone finally helped her because she couldn't help herself. |

It's obvious. It's about his brother's suicide and how he and his family, and band had to deal with all of the problems it caused. He has to fake a smile because he's bitter and wishes he could have done something differently to prevent it. He blames himself. That's what its about. |

I know this is a song about a friend of Matt's, but there's a lot more too it. It's about vices and addiction. "Worn out all courtsy, we've made out curtain call." (Overdose). Bathroom surgeries" cutting to "cool down" - It realease opiates and endorphins to try and hell the wound so you get an rush" -Ill test poison foods for you - I'll do the first hit, line etc so you're safe I die. "can't put out the fire that resides in you my dear......I've never seen scars like yours" They're both obvious addicts. "You told me once, I made you smile once, we both know damn well I didn't - get hot her hooked. a lot of their songs are about being dopesick |

It's not a love song. "snow" is cocaine. First time: "I needed to hear something that sounded answer, so I wait here, and SOMETIMES I get one." "From here I can hardly see a thing, and I would follow anyone that brings me to you for on and on and on" "And I will promise you I will make it warmer next year - trying to get clean." Second time" I needed to hear something that sounded like an answer, and now I stay here and EVERYDAY I get one. And it's nothing I'll forget when the moon gets tired (Knows he's an addict). Believe in what I am today, because tomorrow who knows where well be?" From here I can hardly see a thing, but I will follow anyone who brings me to you, for now, forever, for on and and on. (Anyone who can get him drugs). |

| Alkaline Trio – Blue In The Face Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Most of their songs are about being dopesick/hooked on drugs. I know they're not personally addicted them, but he's just talking to cocaine or heroine not a girl. "And I don't dream since I can't sleeping, and I haven't slept, since I met you." If you're addicted to cocaine, you can't sleep. If you are getting off cocaine, you can't sleep. It's a monologue to drug abuse and how it's an epidemic in this country. | |
| Alkaline Trio – I Found Away Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Dante's Inferno is one of the best poems ever written, and the clear metaphors and word plays (especially on away) dictate the journey "From this hell." Rather than visiting the nine circles of hell as Dante did in his journey, Matt sings of other methods of "Finding Away" or an escape from the "hell" that's going on around him. Despite the dark and "dead ... night" as well as "we got all worked up" the metaphor of "over the fear and through the flames(the nine circles of hell) he's giving warnings "it's safe don't follow me, etc." to others to not follow the same path he has. The last verse before the ending chorus "From the top of my lungs, the truth shall be sung, sharp and damning. Violently stabbing at secrercy, that look on your face, it's scaring, the living hell straight out of me." is also a metaphor to Dante's inferno in that Matt's escape (which would be Beatrice in Dante's Inferno" is scared for the sake of him and helps him find away, stabbing at the "secrecy" of the personal hell he has been through. |
