About this song: Brick By Boring Brick

Hayley Williams explained to Kerrang! magazine that, "this song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they're living a fantasy life. It's one thing to have goals and dreams but it's another thing when you never know where you're standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that." She also added:
