Decode
Paramore搀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
Not this time
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know how
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, "I love you so")
On my own
(My thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know how
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah
Well, how did we get here?
When I used to know you so well.
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me
But I want it to be true

How can I decide what's right
I'm feeling confused and unsure of what to do
When you're clouding up my mind?
Your presence in my life is overwhelming and making it difficult for me to think clearly
I can't win your losing fight
I don't want to participate in this struggle with you anymore
All the time
This issue is constant and exhausting
Not gonna ever own what's mine
I am resigned to the fact that I will not be able to keep what rightfully belongs to me
When you're always taking sides
You're not being fair or impartial, and it's causing problems between us
But you won't take away my pride
Despite everything, I will not let you bring me down or take away my self-respect
No, not this time
I am determined to stand up for myself and not let you get the best of me
How did we get here?
I am bewildered and trying to make sense of how our relationship has deteriorated so much
When I used to know you so well
You have changed so much that I can no longer recognize the person I used to know intimately
Well, I think I know how
I have some ideas about what may have gone wrong between us
The truth is hiding in your eyes
I suspect that you're not being completely truthful with me, and there are things you're hiding
And it's hanging on your tongue
You may be on the verge of revealing something important or confessing
Just boiling in my blood
All of this is causing me immense emotional distress and anxiety
But you think that I can't see
You underestimate me and believe that I'm not smart enough to figure out what's going on
What kind of man that you are
I am questioning your character and integrity
If you're a man at all
I have doubts about whether you're even capable of being honest and doing the right thing
Well, I will figure this one out
Despite the uncertainty, I am committed to uncovering the truth and solving this mystery
On my own
I will not rely on anyone else to help me or guide me
(I'm screaming, "I love you so")
Despite everything, I still have strong feelings for you and want to salvage our relationship if possible
My thoughts you can't decode
There are things I'm thinking and feeling that I'm not willing to share or reveal to you
Do you see what we've done?
We have made mistakes and created problems between us that are difficult to fix
We've gone and made such fools
Our actions have been foolish and unwise, and we need to take responsibility for them
Of ourselves
We are to blame for the situation we are in, and we must work together to make things right
There is something I see in you
Despite our problems, I still see something valuable and special in you
It might kill me
Acknowledging what I see in you may be painful and difficult for me
But I want it to be true
I am hopeful that the good I see in you will prevail, and we can overcome our obstacles together

Science says that when people are experiencing anxiety and depression they revert back to things that are familiar that reminds them of better times. Hello everyone, happy 2020
@claudiaguzman6348
thanks for calling us out🥰
@missdangerrchannel7078
That reminds me of the adolescence I did not have. I liked to imagine myself as Bella and live a romance with this handsome guy by reading the books. Meanwhile, I desguised my wishes and my homossexuality in order to people not notice anithing.
@joserojas9283
and now I know why I hunger for things that make me feel nostalgic...
