    brick by boring brick song meaning
    There's a song by Paramore called Brick by Boring Brick. What is it about? The lyrics are:

    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 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 going to 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...
    Hayley x2:
    ba da ba ba da ba ba da...
    out. The lyrics are:

    I came tto this link and website on Google when I was looking for the meaning, I gathered some data before that

    I think it means that a girl is making up an unrealistic fantasy world of her own, because her real life is miserable and stuff, and the part 'Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
    Or the wolves going to blow it down' means you should stop the fantasy and realize your REAL life and make it better before something else bad happens.. and
    "Go get your shovel
    We'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle" means that hey, lets bla bla bla, try to stop what your doing, (doing drugs and making up the unrealism) (bury the castle= get rid of your fake fantasyinstead of your real importannt life) .
    Its so hard 2 explain

    It's helpful to refer to the video for more clues (you can find it on youtube).

    Because of the repetition of the monarch motif, there's been a lot of theorizing that the song has to do with child abuse (check out monarch programming on the web... it has to do with the way an abused individual will eventually disassociate and create a fantasy world to escape the abuse, if only mentally).

    There are also a lot of drug references in the video... the mushrooms, the datura flower that the child admires, the Alice in Wonderland references... all escapes.
