Paramore: Monster [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

LYRICS
You were my conscience, so solid
Now you're like water
And we started drowning
Not like we'd sink any further
But I let my heart go,
It's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one
And come back for the hope that you've stolen

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain
Despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling

Calling

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

Well you find your strength in solution
But I liked the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world...

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours

Bro I swear once you listen to one Paramore song for nostalgic purposes you go down a rabbit hole that is impossible to come out of

[emmacowling]

I swear it's impossible to hate paramore.

[merkules]

When she screams. "They're calling." Gives me chills. So much power.

[djyoungk]

She sang with so much emotion this song always gives me the chills

[SonPan]

I really don't know why they stopped playing this song. It's awesome.

[elcamel]

I can't believe this was in 2011? Where does the time go?

[ildemaromeroVB]

One of the most underrated songs of this band. Hayley looks gorgeous is this vid btw

[Thewitch]

Lyrics
You were my conscience
So solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning
Not like we'd sink any farther
But I let my heart go
It's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one
And come back for the hope that you've stolen
I'll stop the whole world
I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster
Eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
I'm only human
I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain
Despite what you're always preaching
They call me a traitor
I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling (calling)
They're calling
I'll stop the whole world
I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster
Eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
Well, you find your strength in solutions
But I like the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose it
I'll stop the whole world
I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster
And eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world
I'll stop the whole world
I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster
And eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours

Its a shame Monster does not get talked about a lot. Its literally one of my favourite Paramore songs - well I love all their songs but this is definitely on my top 10. I always end up singing/screaming out the lyrics at the top of my lungs every-time I listen to it.

[SonPan]

Paramore said countless of times that they made this EP to make you understand that if they wanted, they could still make songs with the same old formula. And that's the point: they don't want to. They're not teenagers anymore, they're not always angry at everything and everyone, they're open to experimenting. It's easier to do that when you're 3 and not a 5 piece band. 4 years passed between Brand New Eyes and the self-titled and that's a lot of time. People grow, they change. They lost members and took it as a chance to re-invent themselves. When this song came out everyone was surprise because how heavy it sounded. Now people like to come here and say stuff like 'oh, I miss this sound' when pretty much 3/4 of their discography doesn't come close to the darkness of this song. It's honestly super funny to me. My advice? Listen to the self-titled ALBUM and not its singles. It's different, sure, but do you think that Riot was a natural progression from AWKIF? That BNE was exactly like Riot? No, all of them are completely different from each other. The same band that made Misery Business also wrote My Heart. The band that wrote Ignorance also wrote The Only Exception. The same band that wrote Still Into You wrote Future.

[scarlettvi]

Paramore can do every style they want - as long as it's Hayleys voice I'm in.

[alecframke]

Why can't we get more songs like this in music today just a great blend of vocals, rock, and drums....

[suppsycho]

2020 anyone? Cause everyone loves this song

[louiza]

Transformers recently showed on TV, then the credits rolled with MONSTER as the background song... i'm like: "SH'T THAT'S MY JAM MEGATRONS!!! THAT'S MY PARAMORE!" 💛💛💛

[Laserking-sclm]

This song was played on the end credits of Transformers Dark Of The Moon and is the reason why I got into rock music

[stuartjohnstone]

Many years ago I had an argument with my dad and step-mum, I was left homeless and I stayed in the woods for a couple nights in the cold and dark, I burned books to keep warm but.. there was a couple of teens who played this song as they walked past and that gave me the inspiration and confidence to keep going, paramore kept me going and now I am doing well. Next day I sold almost all the belongings I had at the time to get a train ticket back to my true home.

[AJB]

The fact Taylor and Jeremy were falling asleep in the water still makes me laugh.

[Thecoolven]

the first single after the departure of the farros, and yet paramore is still and forever the best without them. you rock recent paramore!

[danielacarolina]

Não importa quanto tempo passe, sempre volto aqui.
