Conspiracy
Paramore搀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For they will hear us
And they'll find out
Why we don't trust them
Speak up dear
Cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
Yeah yeah yeah
And tell me how
I've lost my power
Oh yeah
Where can I turn
Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty
I'm so unsure
Tell me why
I feel so alone
Cause I need to know
To whom do I owe
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
Yeah yeah yeah
And tell me how
I've lost my power
Oh yeah
I thought that we'd make it
Because you said
That we'd make it through
And when all security fails
Will you be there to help me through
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
Yeah yeah yeah
And tell me how
I've lost my power
Oh yeah
The lyrics of Paramore's song Conspiracy tell the story of someone who feels betrayed and is questioning their own power and alliances. The singer is worried about being heard and discovered, implying that there is a greater danger lurking. They are desperate to understand the conspiracy against them and to know whom they can trust. The lyrics encapsulate a feeling of paranoia, loneliness, and questioning of truth.
The repetition of "explain to me this conspiracy against me" conveys the desperation of the singer to understand what's going on. They feel like they have lost their power and are surrounded by uncertainty. The lines "where can I turn, cause I need something more" and "tell me why I feel so alone, cause I need to know to whom do I owe" express a desire for clarity and support, but there is no one to turn to. The song ends with a plea for help when all else fails.
