"I don’t think that it was an intentional thing to write a sequel to Let The Flames Begin, but I started writing music to a song and it just had a really similar feeling, a similar emotional connection. And I think, when Hayley started writing to it, that theme just kind of came out. And some of the lyrics kind of mirrored, kind of alluded to Let the Flames Begin. It definitely wasn’t planned. We didn’t go into the record thinking we need to make a sequel to this. It just kind of organically happened. Actually, real talk, me and Hayley’s favorite band in the world mewithoutYou, which is on this cruise, we worship everything they do, they always kind of write Part IIs to their songs, and as mega-fans it’s always like OHHHH it’s so cool. It’s always a special thing for us as fans. So we were like, maybe we can do something like that." - Taylor York
Part II
Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such fragile, broken things
A beauty half-betrayed, butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places deep in my heart
What once was blazing light now there's a tiny spark
Oh glory, come and find me
Oh glory, come and find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory
Here
What a mess, what a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it wasn't our mistake
I question every human, who won't look in my eyes
Scars left on my heart formed patterns in my mind
Oh glory, you will find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory
Like the moon, we borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
So if you let me, I will catch fire
To let your glory and mercy shine
"Part II" is a song performed by Paramore, a rock band from Tennessee. The lyrics weave a complex tale of hurt, longing, and redemption. The song begins with the lines "What a shame, what a shame we all remain, Such fragile, broken things," setting the stage for a narrative that deals with the delicate nature of the human condition. As the song progresses, we are presented with vivid imagery of "butterflies with punctured wings" and "darkened places deep in my heart," underscoring the idea that we all carry scars, but that there is still beauty to be found in the brokenness.
The chorus of the song is a call for salvation - "Oh glory, come and find me" - a plea for something greater than oneself to intervene and rescue the singer from their isolation. The imagery in the chorus is striking, with the singer "dancing all alone to the sound of an enemy's song." The theme of isolation is continued in the next verse, as the singer laments being "lost until you find me" and fighting "a war that's already been won." But there is a glimmer of hope in the closing lines of the song, as the singer invokes the image of the moon borrowing light and pledging to "catch fire" in order to let "your glory and mercy shine."
Overall, "Part II" is a song that explores themes of vulnerability, resilience, and transcendence. It is a reminder that even in our brokenness, we are capable of finding beauty and hope, and that sometimes we need outside help to do so.

What a shame, what a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places deep in my heart
Where once was blazing light, now
There's a tiny spark
Oh, glory
Come and find me
Oh, glory
Come and find me
Dancing all alone
