Paramore - Figure 8 (Official Audio)

This Is Why. Out Now.

[Lyrics]
Drained me dry
Down to the last drop
Pearls before swine
All flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut it off

Yeah once you get me going
I don’t know how to stop
Once you get me going
I don’t know how to stop
I don't know how to

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8

I
Won’t miss the feeling
My flimsy spine
Unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak

And once I get going
I don’t know how to stop

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8

Candle light
Candle light
Burning til broad daylight
Candle light
Candle light
Burning at both ends tonight

How could I?
How could I?
If I’m made of thin ice ,
How could I?
How could I ?
You’d be wise if you thought twice

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
Lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8
What remains
Now I think I’m losing my shape
Not a trace
No end and no beginning, figure 8

The build up, the riffs, the drumming, the explosive chorus, Hayley's diverse vocal pallette. Oh man.. they are unbelievable

[vr]

I am addicted to this song. "Only being kind but you mistook for me weak" is my favorite line. I felt that.

[carlybun]

the drumming on this song (and honestly entire album) is just unreal. Zac is so insanely talented

[tiltikmiztli]

I FELT ZAC PUTTING HIS SOUL INTO THOSE CYMBALS I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ALL THANKS FOR GROWING UP WITH ME SINCE 2005 🫶🏽🫶🏽🥹 3:06

[hayleymesner]

This whole album is so underrated, but this song, I’m shocked it’s not a single yet. The drums build up so well and Hayley’s vocals are phenomenal. This is coming from a fellow Hayley lol

[VSTwisted]

Zac's drums here are incredible! This is my favorite song, I can't explain why, it drives a nostalgia from somewhere I can't pinpoint.

[CrazyfangirlsChannel]

This song is 100% one of my top 5 fave Paramore songs EVER

[SunnyGlade]

This has a very similar sound at the beginning to ‘Pool’. But gives me old school vibes like it should belong on ‘All we know is falling’ album. Might be my fave ❤

[Verse 1]
Drained me dry
Down to the last drop
Pearls before swine
All flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut if off

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, once you get me going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Once you get me going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to

[Chorus]
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure eight

[Verse 2]
I won't miss the feeling
My flimsy spine, unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak

[Pre-Chorus]
And once I get going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to

[Chorus]
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure eight

[Bridge]
Candlelight, candlelight
Burning 'til broad daylight
Candlelight, candlelight
Burning at both ends tonight
How could I? How could I?
If I'm made of thin ice
How could I? How could I?
You'd be wise if you thought twice

[Chorus]
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure
What remains
And now I think I'm losing my shape
Not a trace
No end and no beginning, figure eight

[beccaburton]

When the song starts, the sound sounds like what a figure 8 would sound like!
Wait what...?!
How'd they do that...??

Geniuses!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[mypaulbry]

I badly needed this to be a single. One of Paramore's best song. Periodt

[TheOlivependerghast]

I saw someone on Twitter say this is twilight coded 😂
I laughed cause I agreed if you play decode, caught myself, and figure 8 in succession they sound great together, they all tell similar stories too.
I love how much angst paramore adds to this track, they build the tension fantastically.
I can’t stop listening to this album I’m so happy their back

[xaviercopeland]

This is the best song on the album and I’m gonna have this replaying for a minute.

[FilMaltez]

This song is phenomenal (so is every other one on this album lol). It also feels like Pool part 2. The opening melody reminds me of the opening of Pool, the opening lyric "Drained me dry" seems like a reference, and Pool was a dark take on a love song. This song feels like the aftermath and reflecting on it.

[uttermundane]

This is a masterpiece, I don't know why I fell so nostalgic... 😭

[bloopityboop]

I broke off my toxic relationship a week ago. Imagine my surprise when I first listened to "Figure 8" and was gut-punched by how well it captured how I felt in that relationship.

Thank you, Paramore, for making this song and releasing it exactly when I needed it. ❤️

[NotYurAverageJoe]

Insane how slept on this song is. Killer hook, the fuckin MARIMBA, the shouty interjections, the ambitious high note at the end, the theme of being stuck in this cycle while harkening back to their old sound, illustrating the struggle to change while still innovating and not simply retreading. It’s gonna age really well.

[belhougoldenwind]

This is the song if you are a recovering people pleaser with friends that never truly cared about you or if you burned yourself over a relationship

[alex_harnar_]

This song, The News, & You First are the best on the album. 😎🤘🎸🔥🔥🔥🎸🤘😎

[AlquimistEd]

Easily the best track in the album. This is the one I keep coming back to.
