Lyric discussion by Seewa 

Cover art for That's What You Get lyrics by Paramore

Silverchair's "Straight Lines" is absolutely awful in my opinion - but why is this being discussed on a Paramore page?!

Anyhow, I think this song is about the power of the heart. It's almost like she wants to learn to think with her head and act on logic than her impulses. But she knows, no matter what, her heart will "start a riot in [her]", and will often be the dominant force in her actions.
