Brick By Boring Brick - Paramore

Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure
The lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick and the clock struck twelve
Well, make sure to build your heart
Brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
And we'll bury the castle, bury the castle

Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic

If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it

But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

I just found out title of this song and it does really sound interesting. I've heard it a lot of time before but I just knew it about right now because my friend told me to learn the song. He invited me to join their studio band rehearsals to be thei lead sings. Quite flattering, right?

So, I thought I didn't know this song and when I looked for it on Youtube, it sounded familiar. I didn't have a hard time working on it, so I'll just have to memorize the lyrics and of course the tune and soon I'd be able to memorize this already.

This song tells another story of a girl who once loved and broke her heart. The usual flow of songs, you know why? It's because all those feelings and emotions, all coming out, when someone breaks her heart. That's when you'd be able to compose a song, you want to get off of these bad feelings and so you do it by making lyrics. You inspire your own self now.

For me, the castle she wants to bury is their once successful love life. Since she has lived in a fairy tale, she used the word castle to represent the home of their relationship's feelings and/or love.

She wants that to be buried since it's all gone now.

"You can't see it with your eyes" now, I just need to learn to go get my own shovel and bury my once owned castle. If its even a castle to be considered. I'LL BURY IT DEEPER THAN ANY HOLE ANYONE CAN DIG.

We built up a magic because you once had a tragic life and now you repay me with nothing. Then, I would want to be in the dark than have you by my side, continuing to hurt me.

I have done this once, then I can again.
