Paramore - Ignorant
Just make up your own words and sing along – that’s how Paramore’s flaming red-orange-yellow haired vocalist, Hayley Williams, starts her performance of this track in one of the live concerts of the band. And it’s true. The chaos in this song can welcome a mosaic of lyrical interpretations. It’s got so much passionate guitar whipping, you don’t know if you’re just venting rage or riding high on exhilaration. Of course you also don’t know what she’s really singing about either but it’s just one of those songs where the music is just so darn good, you just wanna crank it up and pretend you know the words or at the very least, make up your own and pretend its your song.
It’s not just the lyrics but the context of the song itself is open to a myriad of interpretations. Some might even say the song is not just an angry dose of rock and roll howls and crunchy guitar, but could even be about the band breaking up, as Williams said the song ‘is about feeling "judged, singled out, and betrayed" by her bandmates.”
The song is taken off the band’s album, Brand New Eyes, which is set to be released in September.
