Brick by Boring Brick
Brick By Boring Brick Lyrics
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
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle; bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha
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 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves 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
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
Or even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Guys x2:
ba da ba ba da da ba da......

I am just obsessed with this song and its video. The video starts with A fairy tale- like scenery, but the only funny thing is that that is a grave digger digging a huge hole filled with ornaments that children would find attractive. Meanwhile, a small girl is seen running towards an unassuming door, but when the door closes behind her the knob and keyhole disappears. This is the first sign of the darker side of the video. She ventures towards a alice-in-wonderland type of place where she meets a friendly knight but many other scary animals (at least to me). She enters the castle's doors and finds a place filled with mirrors. But suddenly, horrifying pictures appear before her and she gets so errified that she runs and leaves, but only to find that the setting has changed to a stormy night. She struggles to get through and finally runs to the place where the grave-digger is. however she accidentally falls inside the hole.
But does this song have a message to it? I have done my research and I say yes, there is a meaning to it, and it is the message that attracts me to the song. So what exactly is it? I'll tell you all tomorrow. But meanwhile you can comment on this:)

If you like this MV, I suppose you would also like the 'Walking on Air' music video by Kerli.
As for the meaning behind this song/music video, I suggest this link:

Have fun reading
thank you Tze Han:) i really enjoyed that post about monarch programming. Thrilling yet also compelling. Hmm I should post something about it soon
I doubt that there is any ulterior motive. People as usual, are kicking up a big fuss over nothing at all. Really, songwriters don't have that much time on their hands. If they did, not enough brains or they'd be teaching someplace.
If you ask me, people are simply being overly suspicious. You must have written a billion of those Chinese compositions where you suspect your best friend of stealing your this, that or the other and find out after a big row that it was in your schoolbag, underneath a mound of books, etc, etc. People listen to a song that doesn't really make sense and they start thinking about it and wild ideas form when the mind is idle and all that, and linkages are drawn here, there, everywhere and then people start getting excited about it.
Its exactly the same thing.
By the way, if you didn't already know, I am a great supporter of Paramore and I think that this song is pretty good, the guitar is terrific and the tune is catchy and everything, and the setting is pretty well done. I really doubt that they intended to hide anything, EVEN if they said so when asked; they probably just wanted attention and stuff.
