Playing God Lyrics

Cover art for Playing God lyrics by Paramore

To me, this song has to do with someone, perhaps a friend, who acts critically of you and your opinions, and points fingers at you for it. Then does the same thing and considers it alright. Sort of like a "Holier than thou" complex.

"Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who's holy"

"Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror"

This part I think describes that you've taken a lot of beating because of it, and done nothing about it. But you're now fed up with it and intend to end it by "pointing the persons finger to the mirror". Aka, making them take a good look in the mirror and realize they're not as holy as they think they are.

Just my two cents.
