adore
Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But every time you come around
I feel more alive
Than ever
And I guess it's too much
Maybe we're too young
And I don't even know
But I know I've never wanted anything so bad
I've never wanted anyone so bad
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
Help me come back down
From high above the clouds
You know I'm suffocating
But I blame this town
Why do I deny
The things that burn inside?
Down deep I'm barely breathing
You just see a smile
And I don't wanna let this go
Really I just want to know
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adore
Would you go all the way? (Stay)
Be the one I'm looking for
The lyrics to Paramore's song "Adore" convey a longing for connection and a fear of vulnerability. The singer is torn between the intense feelings of being alive when around the person they are singing to and the uncertainty of whether it's right or simply due to youth and inexperience. There is a clear desire to be loved but also a hesitation to fully embrace it and let someone in. The recurring chorus, "If I let you love me, would you be the one I'm looking for?" is a plea for reassurance that this person won't hurt them and that their love will be reciprocated.
The song also touches on the feeling of being trapped or suffocating in a small town, which could be symbolic of feeling trapped in a certain mindset or way of life. The singer is aware that they are putting up a facade and hiding their true emotions with a smile, but they can't help but deny the things that burn inside. There is a sense of urgency to break free from this stifling atmosphere and find a connection that feels real and genuine.

I don't mean to run
I don't intend to escape your presence
But every time you come around
But whenever you appear in front of me
I feel more alive
I feel invigorated with more energy
Than ever
More than anything else
And I guess it's too much
And it could be excessive
Maybe we're too young
Perhaps we aren't experienced enough
And I don't even know
And I am not sure
What's real
What is genuine
But I know I've never wanted anything so bad
But I am certain I've never needed something this badly before
I've never wanted anyone so bad
I've never desired someone this much before
If I let you love me
If I allow you to love me
Be the one adore
Be the only one I admire
Would you go all the way?
Would you accompany me on this journey?
Be the one I'm looking for
Be the individual I seek
Help me come back down
Assist me in returning to my normal state
From high above the clouds
From a place of happiness and joy
You know I'm suffocating
You understand that I am feeling trapped
But I blame this town
But I attribute it to this location
Why do I deny
Why do I refuse to acknowledge
The things that burn inside?
The intense feelings that are present inside me?
Down deep I'm barely breathing
Deep inside, I am hardly alive
You just see a smile
You only see a smile on my face
And I don't wanna let this go
And I don't want to lose this feeling
Really I just want to know
Actually, I am just curious to find out
If I let you love me
If I permit you to love me
Be the one adore
Be the one I cherish
Would you go all the way?
Would you stay with me throughout it all?
Be the one I'm looking for
Be the one I am searching for
If I let you love me
If I allow you to love me
Be the one adore
Be the sole admiration in my life
Would you go all the way?
Would you support me unconditionally?
Be the one I'm looking for
Become the person I am seeking
If I let you love me
If I permit you to love me
Be the one adore
Be the one I idolize
Would you go all the way? (Stay)
Would you stay until the end?
Be the one I'm looking for
Be the one I am attempting to locate

When I was a kid, lagi tong pinapatugtog ng kapatid ko. Lalo na kapag nagrereview siya, gumagawa ng assignment, and all..
Last time ko tong narinig sa kanya 2018 pa ata. Nasa byahe kami non at pinatugtog nya.
Mag2 yrs na syang wala samin physically. Dahil sa COVID-19. Lahat ng paborito nyang kanta pinapakinggan ko. Gumawa pako Playlist nya sa Spotify. Kaso wala to sa Spotify eh. 😂
I miss you, Ate. Mahal na mahal kita! ♥️
