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.
From 2013 to 2014, Paramore released several singles from the self-titled album, including the singles Still Into You and Ain't It Fun. 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".
Moving On
Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sit back and let 'em shine
Let 'em rise and rise
'Cause one day they're gonna fall
Let 'em soak in the sun
Sit back and let 'em have their fun
Let 'em spill their guts
Well, I could be angry but you're not worth a fight
And besides, I'm moving on
I've counted to ten and I'm feeling alright
And besides, I'm moving on
Let 'em play their songs
Let 'em say what's right and wrong
Let 'em do their thing
'Cause it'll never be you and me
We got our own style
We got a way of living life
If they can't get down
Well, we don't need them around
Well, I could be angry but you're not worth a fight
And besides, I'm moving on
I've counted to ten and I'm feeling alright
And besides, I'm moving
Yes, I'm moving
Besides, I'm moving on
In Paramore's song Interlude: Moving On, the band is singing about the importance of letting go of people or things that no longer serve a purpose in our lives. The opening lines suggest that it's important to let others shine and have their moment in the sun, because one day they'll fall. This can be interpreted as a warning against jealousy or resentment towards others' success because it won't last forever. The chorus continues with the idea of moving on, letting go of anger, and counting to ten to calm down. It's a message about not getting tangled up in drama or conflict and instead focusing on forging your own path away from the negativity. In the second verse, the band asserts its own uniqueness and individuality, stating that they have their own style and way of living life. They don't need to conform to anyone else's expectations or opinions in order to be happy. The song's message overall is one of resilience and empowerment, encouraging listeners to find their own sense of purpose and move forward with confidence.
