Ignorance
Paramore搀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life.

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same
(Hey)
We're not the same
(No)
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah but we used to stick together,
We wrote our names in blood,
(Hey)
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend

And this is the best thing that could have happened,
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same
(Hey)
We're not the same
(Hey)
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together,
We wrote our names in blood,
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend.
Ignorance is your new best friend,
Ignorance is your new best friend.

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir




I guess I'll go,
I best be on my way out

Overall Meaning

In Paramore's song "Ignorance," the lyrics depict a feeling of being misunderstood and not fitting the mold that someone else wants them to be. The verse "If I'm a bad person, you don't like me/Well, I guess I'll make my own way" suggests defiance and a determination to be true to oneself, despite others' opinions. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, with lines like "We're not the same" and "I don't wanna feel your pain." The bridge acknowledges that the singer has changed and grown, but the other party is still clinging to old tricks and expectations. Overall, the song is about the struggle to move on from a relationship or situation where someone is holding you back and trying to force you into their idea of who you should be.


Line by Line Meaning

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me Well, I guess I'll make my own way
If you disapprove of my actions and character, I will create my own path


It's a circle, a mean cycle I can't excite you anymore
Our relationship is a repetitive cycle and I can't make you feel enthusiastic anymore


Where's your gavel? Your jury? What's my offense this time? You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me Well sentence me to another life.
Where is your authority and indictment for this supposed crime? Even though you're not a judge, go ahead and sentence me to a different existence


Don't wanna hear your sad songs I don't wanna feel your pain When you swear it's all my fault Cause you know we're not the same (Hey) We're not the same (No) Oh, we're not the same Yeah, but we used to stick together, We wrote our names in blood, (Hey) But I guess you can't accept that the change is good It's good, it's good
I don't want to listen to your melancholy music or take responsibility for your anguish anymore. You and I are not alike, even though we used to be a team and had a strong bond. But you seem unable to acknowledge that change is beneficial.


Well, you treat me just like another stranger Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out You treat me just like another stranger Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me as if I'm a stranger you've just met, which is fine with me. I'll say my goodbyes and be on my way.


Ignorance is your new best friend, Ignorance is your new best friend And this is the best thing that could have happened, Any longer and I wouldn't have made it It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture I'm just a person, but you can't take it The same tricks that, that once fooled me They won't get you anywhere I'm not the same kid from your memory Well, now I can fend for myself
You prefer being ignorant and oblivious to the truth, and that's helping both of us move on. If things had carried on any longer, I wouldn't survive. This isn't a conflict, nor is it an end-of-the-world event. I'm just an individual who you can't control anymore. Attempting to use the same methods that previously worked on me won't aid you in any way. I'm not the same inexperienced person you once knew, and I can take care of myself now.

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (no)
We're not the same (no)
Oh, we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)
It's good (hey), it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go
I'd best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could have happened
