Paramore, as a quartet, released their debut studio album, All We Know Is Falling, in 2005. The band rose to prominence in 2007 after the release of the hit single Misery Business from their second studio album Riot!. Crushcrushcrush and That's What You Get were released as the following singles experiencing commercial success. The band was nominated for "Best New Artist" at the 2008 Grammy Awards. The band announced the official line-up addition of Taylor York in June 2009 prior to the release of Brand New Eyes due later the same year. Josh Farro (guitar) and his brother Zac Farro left the band the following year, resulting in Paramore to continue as a trio.

The latter became the band's highest-peaking single as well as their first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned the band their first Grammy award for "Best Rock Song" the following year. At the end of 2015, it was reported Jeremy Davis (bass guitar) left the band.
In 2017, Zac Farro officially rejoined the band, prior to the release of their fifth studio album, "After Laughter".

Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you always shut your eyes
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
take this time to realize
that you always force a smile
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
pretend that it's gone
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
and it never ends
it never ends
and it never ends
and it never ends
no, it never ends
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over, it's over
"Circle" by Paramore is a song that deals with the theme of denial and avoidance. In the lyrics, the singer urges someone to face their problems instead of pretending they don't exist. The first lines set the mood for the rest of the song by calling attention to how the person who's being addressed always shuts their eyes during difficult times, effectively ignoring whatever problems they may have. The singer then emphasizes that it's time to win this battle instead of pushing it aside and pretending it's gone, as the other person has been doing.
The chorus repeats the phrase "this circle never ends" multiple times, which could have multiple meanings. One way to interpret it is that the cycle of denial and avoidance never stops, and the person is stuck in a loop until they face their issues head-on. It could also represent the idea that life is full of challenges that won't stop coming, and it's up to the individual to face them and keep moving forward. The chorus ends with a direct plea to the person to face their problems instead of pretending it's all over.
The second verse echoes the first with different but similar lyrics. The singer offers some advice on how to face problems by pointing out that the other person always forces a smile during trials, showing how they're not dealing with their feelings honestly. The words "this battle must be won" are repeated, and the idea of pretending it's gone is mentioned again, emphasizing how damaging avoidance can be. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the message from the first one.
In conclusion, "Circle" by Paramore is a song that urges people to face their problems instead of pretending they don't exist. The repeated phrase "this circle never ends" represents the cycle of denial and avoidance that one can get stuck in, and it takes bravery and honesty to break free from it. The song is a reminder that dealing with our issues head-on is the only way to move forward.

take this time to realize
Use this moment to understand
that you always shut your eyes
You tend to avoid facing adversities
in the midst of trial
When things get tough
and everything is always right
You always pretend that everything is okay
and I think that it's time
I believe that
this battle must be won
It's necessary to overcome this struggle
but you pushed it aside
Yet you ignore the issue
pushed it aside
Ignore the problem
pretend that it's gone
Act like it never existed
this circle never ends
This problem occurs repeatedly
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
It's time to confront it
that it's over
That the issue has been resolved
and it never ends
The problem persists
no, it never ends
It does not stop
this circle never ends
This problem repeats itself
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
It's time to confront it
that it's over
That the issue has been resolved
this circle never ends
This problem repeats itself
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
It's time to confront it
that it's over, it's over
That the issue has been resolved

Take this time to realize
That you always shut your eyes
In the midst of trial
And everything is always right
(and I think that it's time)
this battle must be won
(but you pushed it aside)
Pushed it aside
Pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
Take this time to realize
That you always force a smile
In the midst of trial
And everything is always right
(and I think that it's time)
This battle must be won
(but you pushed it aside)
Pushed it aside
Pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
And it never ends...
It never ends...
And it never ends...
(and it never ends)
No, it never ends
this circle never ends
and it's time you
just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you
just face it, don't pretend
that It's over
It's over

How To Download The B-sides
Important Things to Note About the Download:
- The sound quality is not perfect, but it is the best that I could find
- The download includes 25 songs, three of which have been officially released: I Caught Myself, Native Tongue, and Escape Route
- This will take some time (about 15-30 minutes)
You will need:
- A relatively strong WiFi connection
- An Apple computer (MacBook)
- An iPhone
- An Apple ID/iCloud/iTunes account that is synced across both devices
Note: You may also need a USB cable that can connect your phone and computer.
Step One
On your laptop, visit this link: Paramore B-Sides Dropbox. Or, google search "Paramore B Sides Dropbox" and click the first link that comes up.
Step Two
In the upper right corner of the Dropbox screen, click "Download". A scroll-down menu should come up. Click "direct download". A bar should pop up at the bottom of the screen
Step Three
On the left side of the bar, the screen should say "Paramore The B-Sides ...zip". Click the arrow to the right of this. A scrolling menu should pop up. Click "Show in Finder". A screen should appear that shows all your downloads. Note the folder titled "Paramore The B-Sides [MP3 Format]".
Step Four
Make sure that the iTunes Application is on your Application Dock (If it isn't, use the magnifying glass icon in the top right of the bar to search "iTunes" and then drag it to the dock at the bottom of the screen.)
Use your cursor to select all the song files in Finder. They should all be highlighted in blue.
Click anywhere in the blue area and drag the 25 files until you are hovering over the iTunes icon. Then simply let go of the the cursor. The files should drag and drop into the application.
Step Five
Open iTunes by double-clicking on the application. The album should show up.If the songs aren't downloaded, click the click the cloud button next to the three dots on the right side of the screen to download the album. This will take some time.
When it's done, you now have all the B-Sides downloaded on your laptop!
Step Six
This is important: Some track information might be missing. For instance, a lot of the track titles are blank. Don't panic: there's an easy solution to this.
If you don't know the track listing off the top of your head, look it up. paramore.wikia.com has an extensive track listing. Look at the track number for a song title that is blank.
Next, on iTunes, hover over the track. To the right, three blue dots should appear. Click on these dots and select "Get Info". A box should pop up. The first box says "song". Type in the name of the song. Then hit okay. Do this with the remaining missing songs titles.
Note that track 16 is actually "Here We Go Again", not "Hallelujah (Demo)" and tracks 24 and 24 are "Native Tongue" and "Escape Route", respectively.
You can also add lyrics by selecting "Lyrics" under the "Get Info" window. You can copy and paste from a lyric website- the one I recommend is azlyrics.com. They have all the B Side lyrics. Once the lyrics are pasted into the lyrics box, click "OK".
If a song is missing a cover image, select "Artwork" under the "Get Info" window. You need to save a jpg of the cover. Click "Add Artwork" at the bottom and select the jpg. Then hit "OK".
If you want the B-Sides on your computer, great job! You're done. If you want to listen to them on your phone, keep reading.
Step Seven
This is where things get a little hazy. Check to see if the songs have appeared on your phone's iTunes account. If they have, great! You can hit the cloud to download and you're good to go.
However if they haven't, there are two things you can try:
1) Click the three white dots in a blue circle to the right of the album name. Under the drop down menu, click "Add to iCloud music library." Then wait as the songs appear on your phone.
2) Use a USB cord to plug your phone into your laptop. Then follow the process in suggestion one.
Please note that this works differently for each edition of iTunes on phones as computers.
That’s it!

Almost 2024 and I’m almost 30. Paramore has been so so kind to me. My favorite band as a young teen and still to this day. I feel blessed
@ericwhitaker782
I find gems like these because I search for unreleased songs by artist. I would love to hear songs by major artists that's tucked away on the hard drive because I know it's better than what's released commercially
@teardropluvsparamore
Literally same!

If you are listening to THIS song in the 2020’s, you are a real ass fan.
@endlesswanderer1753
I won't gatekeep new fans, but I heard this back in 2005 at Warped Tour. I was a hardcore metal fan. When these kids got on stage I was immediately repelled. Then this song pulled me in. These days, I'm much less of a 'metal is the only good genre guy' and I might be able to pin that on Paramore for saving me. lmao. forgive the rant. I just felt like sharing this old memory
@robbjay4505
@@endlesswanderer1753 No, I mean, as old as this song is… if you’re still listening today, it’s because you’re a true fan. I don’t believe in that gatekeeping nonsense. Music is for whoever needs it, whenever they need it.
