Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 107

Sounds like it's asking the other person to just be on their side even when they're not feeling 100%

 

I think that line's mostly just fun. But I take it as, "Hey buddy! Can you actually sit with me in my mess for awhile instead of piously telling me everything rocks?" That's basically the whole song.

Also, I feel this way a lot when I'm depressed.

 

Ugh I still hate that line so much

 

Yea to me it's like "Hey I'm not really feelin it right now so just bear with me while I'm in this funk, but no worries you don't have to feel obligated"

 

Like I've said, this album has a lot going for it, but the lyrics are so poorly written with some truly cringe worthily lines. Like:

"If I go out tonight, and dress up my fears, do I look alright with these mascara tears"

I think there needs to be some lyrical evolution next time around.

 

Low key, no pressure? That makes no sense...

 

Are you just not familiar with the phrase? That seems pretty clearly to me like it's just something she wants to keep on the down-low and not make a big deal of, thus "no pressure", but she's just not gonna see the world in this happy-go-lucky way that this other person is right now.

 

"Low key, no pressure" is saying that the request to "hang with me in my weather" is really quite simple and straightforward. It highlights the fact that the speaker isn't asking for much more than understanding and empathy from their partner. It makes a lot of sense.

 

I feel like those two things are pretty tied together in vernacular.

 

Also RCB may be my favorite (or at least tied with "Fake Happy"). I love the chants.

 

Doesn't sound low key to me haha

 

I mean if you don't think asking one's partner for empathy/understanding/compassion as they navigate their mental health struggles should be a low key request (in the sense that it would be kind of absurb for the partner to deny that request and refuse empathy, etc.) I feel like you're just not going to relate to the song.

 

Yeah, I actually really like that line. I also love the meaning when you flip the first words:

"No key, low pressure, just hang with me and my weather"

No idea what I'm doing, storms ahead, etc.

 

"Low key" and "no pressure" are two very common phrases. If you don't understand what she's getting at that's on you, not her.

 

Goddammit, @SLADE775.

 

Everyone just ignore Slade. Mascara tears line is great. Slade is awful

 

What's wrong with that line?

 

Sigh. This got awkward quickly.

 

Today's episode, in which literally ap.net's most notorious troll ever stirs the pot somehow still in 2017.

 

"See I'm gonna wear my lipstick wider than my mouth, and if the lights are low they'll never see me frown" is brilliant.

 

I can't even remember how many times the banhammer was brought down on slade. Perhaps 774 times...

 

Yes it is.

 

Also the lyrics in Tell Me How are phenomenal.
"You don't have to tell me if you ever think of me/I know you see my dancing wildly in the fog of your memory/you don't have to tell me/I can still believe"
Kills me

 

Rose-Colored Boy has the best lyrics of any song ever:

Exhibit A:

"You say "We gotta look on the bright side"
I say "Well, maybe if you wanna go blind"
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind"

 

I was gonna comment on how the mascara tears line is great but I thought it was more trouble than it was worth haha, decided to just stick with why I like low key no pressure. Good to see he's a known troll though.
