Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 89

The lyrics on this album really connect with me, and I know I'm not alone (I've even seen other say it) that it's kind of a right album at the right time situation. If someone disagrees, that's fine - it won't take away from my experience, but I certainly wouldn't change the lyrics on here.

 

confession my buddy showed me Paramore before their first record came out, I think it was demos on Purevolume or something and I was not a fan.. I said "the singer is great but the band can't keep time" hahaha I was so wrong.. I certainly recognized their potential though

 

Quickly typed it and noticed my error a little after, my bad

 

Yo, fuck "Let It Be". Everyone writes about their dead moms. Give me something novel.

 

Every song has to be Sting or Morrissey level verbose to be good of course

 

Can't wait for Paramore's next album where Hayley analyzes Iberian literature for 12 tracks!

 

Y'know I've never thought of Sting as verbose, but now that you mention it...

:glass shatters:

 

I couldn't quite find the term for the literary references in Don't Stand So Close To Me and Wrapped Around Your Finger

 

Another thing I learned about myself today:

I have never really listened to the lyrics of "Wrapped Around Your Finger". Haha

 

That must have some deeper meaning though.... "rolls eyes"

 

people are so easily baited by the lyrics post holy lol, let alone any time someone says they don't like something. i feel like there's some trolling going on though.

 

It means she's dancing to music, probably on stage while performing.

 

overall i find quite a bit of paramore more sing-along than just "WHOA DEEP LYRICS". some are clever and witty, some are just ok and there, but i don't find any of them really embarrassing or bad.

 

Hahaha

 

I've always found it interesting that people have such a hard time admitting that anything is bad about something they like. I like this album, it's good. But the lyrics are not. Like I said. No big deal.

 

There have definitely been lyrics that one could describe as bad that have been meaningful to me, everything is personal

 

Sure, that makes sense. I felt the same about the last Pentimento album. But I can still admit that the lyrics aren't very good even if they mean something to me.

 

Lyrics have never been the strongest aspect of a Paramore album for me, but I do think this is their strongest album lyrically.

 

Oh I actually quite like the lyrics on this album, or I guess more what the lyrics are discussing and the themes? They're super relatable and just in general down to earth which is really cool.

 

Yeah this definitely doesn't have close to the best lyrical work I've heard. But most of my favorite music doesn't have lyrics that would generally be considered great, so it's whatever.

 

I'm sure it's been said before, but Caught in the Middle is the best chorus. So fun.

 

Are any of these songs about Chad? I feel like no bc they seem uber happy but I get sad sometimes when I listen to the lyrics. Hayley and Chad being on the rocks breaks my heart.

 

Pool for sure is the "love song" of the record, in interviews she's talked about it as such. But as with all Paramore "love songs" it's not completely uber happy there's always some spin

 

I don't believe any of it to be about Chad. Grudges I felt was maybe her feelings on Zac returning to the band. Tell Me How could be her current stance on her friendship with Jeremy?

 

Pool sounds like a song about someone having an affair.
