Paramore – Feeling Sorry Lyrics 16 years ago
Ah, maybe it was a rhyming device, or maybe Bynum was 24 when she wrote the song?
Who knows? Is Hunter from Franklin too?

Paramore – Teenagers (Hayley Williams) Lyrics 16 years ago
Confusion about being a teenager, dealing with first broken relationship/friendship, da da da.
Pretty straightforward.

Seems like an unofficial Part II of Ignorance. Instead of just being judged, she's turning the finger back on the judge.

Paramore – Feeling Sorry Lyrics 16 years ago
I'm leaning towards Jason rather than Hunter... Didn't Hunter leave to get married? Why would someone hold a grudge over that? Besides, the line "we still live in the same town" leads me to believe it's Jason as he was/is Hayley's next door neighbour...

Death Cab for Cutie – My Mirror Speaks Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree with jkjk13 and teamkantner.

I can only add that it seems like he's realising the negative aspects of that lifestyle when he takes an honest look at himself: how immature ("A child in the body of a full-grown man") and unfruitful ("These eyes don't shine half as bright as they used to do") it can be.

Possibly?

Death Cab for Cutie – A Diamond and a Tether Lyrics 16 years ago
a guy who's half-hearted towards his relationship, and is just waiting on a "better" opportunity; only mustering the effort when suspects he's about to lose her.

pretty straightforward lyrics, but with clever metaphors in true gibbard-style.

Yeah I recognised Alex's voice, but I always thought he said, "talk about Anna" not aliens.

Paramore – I Caught Myself Lyrics 17 years ago
To parawhore!

My initial interpretation was that it Edward's initial feelings towards Bella too in Twilight, except these lines confused me:

"You're not the one I believe in"

"Of you, I knew, I know in my heart
It's not you, I knew, but now I know what I want"

That's why I think it's Bella's feelings towards Jacob. If it were Edward's perspective, the song wouldn't have ended with "I know in my heart it's not you, i knew, but now i know what I want" because he did eventually break all the rules and allowed himself to want her.

If you wanted to keep this as a Bella-Edward song (which I desperately wanted to cause of magic/breathless/hypnotic lines), you could maybe assume this is what Edward was thinking before he left Bella in New Moon. And that despite being “pushed and pulled” down to Bella he had to leave?

I don’t know. My thoughts are weird.

Paramore – I Caught Myself Lyrics 17 years ago
Considering Paramore wrote this about New Moon I’m inclined to believe this is about Jacob from Bella’s perspective.

My interpretation is:

Jacob was there for Bella through a tough time, hanging out practically 24/7, so naturally Bella starts to develop feelings for Jacob (the nature of such feelings are probably what’s confusing to Bella):

“You’re pushing and pulling me down to you…”

Bella is shocked to be thinking about Jacob that way and refuses to believe that she could have feelings for him:

“Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
I'm saying something that I should have never thought”

“I hate this, I hate this
You’re not the one I believe in”

So with the verse, I can see why people can assume it's about Edward as he’s the one who “dazzles” her, but could still be about Jacob as Bella did refer to him as good-looking in New Moon (mind you, it was after she bumped her head lol):

“Did you know you’re soft of beautiful?”

And at the end of the song, like the end of New Moon, Bella’s doubts in Jacob are justified as she realises it’s Edward she really wants, aided by Edward’s return:

“I know in my heart
It's not you, I knew,
but now I know what I want”
