MEANING BEHIND THE SONG:

"In my eyes, this song is a huge turning point for the band. The truth of it is, growing up is not easy. We’re five different people who have to work towards the same goal on a daily basis. There were a lot of times when I felt really alone or angry or insecure. I don’t always feel good at confronting people, especially people that I love, like these guys. Sometimes it takes songs to get the point across. The song is from one person’s perspective. It’s unfair that I’m the one who gets to talk about it but it helped me a lot. The line ‘ignorance is your new best friend’ is about how I felt I was losing people, and I think the band did too. But it’s okay, we’re growing up. I love that song." - Hayley Williams talked to Kerrang!

MEANING BEHIND THE MUSIC VIDEO:

The video shows Hayley Williams being singled out and ignored by the other members of the band. A single light bulb shines throughout the video and it is constantly on her, no matter how hard she tries to stretch the wire and shine it on the other members. The video cuts between the band preforming in a cramped little room, a larger performance area and Williams being laid bare in white clothes, hair pulled back etc. The video ends with the other members of the band being able to wrap the light bulb wire around Williams, showing how the spotlight is only on her and never on the other band members. - WIKIPEDIA
