Just Like Me

I think it's about a girl who just found out that the guy she loves is not what he seems. He liked her only for her image and what she seemed like on the outside. And some lines make it seem like he had some kind of a plan, a particular reason for pretending to love her. After the girl realizes what it was about, she dumps the guy and the lines 'You swallow.......... in the waves' make it seem like the guy realizes that it meant something to him, even though he thought it didn't. So basically, he wanted to love someone like her, not love her... And in the end, he ended up loving her..... But by then, it was too late.......

when i was 18 i had just experienced the most empty, traumatic experience of my life and i told myself i wanted someone like me. someone who would never walk away from what they truly love and wanted to be with me more than anything. i found this but because of the environment it was creating for my daughter, i had to be the one to walk away.

First of all, I'm pretty sure that Hayley wrote this before Paramore, so it's not a Paramore song. And second of all, this song is amazing! The lyrics are self-explanatory if you listen closely but basically I think it's about a girl who fell into this boy's trap and he sort of liked to keep her all to himself. The lines:

And you never said That you meant to save someone, Somebody just like me. And you never told me You wanted to love someone, Somebody just like me.

seem to be saying that the boy didn't love HER, he was in love with the idea of someone like her, and she never really noticed it.

"You swallow your pride as you're left behind Counting stars to name your lies You let the light push you away And now you're drowning in the waves."

The girl has finally gotten rid of the boy and now he's thinking all about the relationship, all the lies he told her, and now how he's sort of 'drowning' in all of those mistakes.

Not sure if this is what everyone else thinks, but I just sort of get the 'Girl likes boy, boy likes girls like her, girl dumps boy, boy realizes how the relationship was.'

Wow, so this is real.

I think I somewhat understand what the "guy" in this song is feeling...

Sometimes I fall in love with people without even knowing them, just because they are like they are. Like, I can tell they are a certain kind of person, or are friends with certain kinds of people, so I want to know them. They might be complete idiots, but I fall in love with them, because I've always envisioned myself being with that sort of person, and always wished I was that sort of person.

If I was more outgoing or something, maybe I might try to bring these people in, like the guy supposedly brought Hayley or whoever in in the song.

So it is real.

Peace. ♥
