Paramore: Hard Times [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

LYRICS
All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I’m alright
That I Ain’t gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright
For me to come out

HARD TIMES
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
HARD TIMES
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
THESE LIVES
And I still don't know how I even survive
HARD TIMES
HARD TIMES
and I gotta get to rock bottom

Walking around
With my little raincloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain’t coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
Hit me with lightning!
Maybe I’ll come alive

Tell my friends I’m coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground

[waochi]

the lyrics: depressing
the rythm: super happy and optimistic

[angelikap.]

This song pumped me up so hard I cleaned my whole room.

[thisandthat]

I love how Paramore always takes sad emotions and makes them into fun songs

[TrippieHippie]

2024 can’t stop and won’t stop listening to all of PARAMORE

[asmokeus]

depression funk is one of the most practically important genres i've ever encountered tbh

[Lentziu]

Hayley is so charismatic. I love how she's goofing around while singing about depression and struggles.

[brettpresta-valachovic]

Man, it's been six years already? Hard times is still a banger!

I just read that Hayley came down with a lung infection and had to cancel the remaining dates of the recent NA tour. Take all the time you need, Hayley. Your true fans understand and will be waiting for your next release. Get well soon!

[pA]

Paramore will never fully understand how this song impacted people.
And that is ok.
They sent out their message and it reached the people it needed to.

[carlosavila]

Can't believe this came out THREE years ago, feels like yesterday.

[paramore]

hello and thanks for waiting. we are pleased to present Hard Times from our new album After Laughter.

p.s. it’s good to talk to you again

[johnwhitaker]

I can't describe it but this music video accurately portrays how it feels to be walking somewhere with the song playing in head phones full blast

[royfablooo]

When your depressed but at the same time being optimistic

[KasheemaSingh]

Lyrics
All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I'm alright
That I ain't gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it's alright
For me to come out
gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times)
(Hard times)
And I gotta get to rock bottom
Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain't coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
You hit me with lightning
Maybe I'll come alive
gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times)
(Hard times)
And I gotta hit rock bottom
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times) (hard times)
(Hard times) (hard times)
gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times) (hard times)
(Hard times)
And I gotta get to rock bottom

Loved how the colors are distinct and really pop up on the screen. Cheers to their excellent songwriting. Hard Times is a testament to how much we try and end up failing or close to failing.

[Frights_and_Film_Finds]

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years already since this came out

[Harry-cyvz]

Paramore is great when you feel sad but not sad enough to admit you're sad

[Yojut]

I am so sad that I missed this song when it was… popular. But so grateful I heard this today. I only ever knew paramore to be one style of music, and this was not it. But this chorus, has such an MGMT, pumped up kicks sound. It just walks me through the entire song and makes me wish for more chorus’s over and over. 🗣️ hard times

[matthewellenberger]

I absolutely love when artists respect each other's work, or better yet, are fans of each other. Covering each other's songs and doing it well just scratches an itch that I never realized I had until hearing them. The same goes for quality mashups.

[Oriielis]

This song is to dance while you're crying.

[asheekelley]

This came out the day after I lost my granny Ruth! I remember crying, listening to this like 10 times in a row! Gave me a little sanity through my hard time! ❤️❤️❤️
