Anklebiters - ParamoreWhy do you care what people think? Are you hooked up to their leash? You know anklebiters Ate up your personality. Try to remember how it felt To just make up your own steps And let anklebiters Chew up, spit out someone else. Fall in love with yourself. Because someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. Someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. Why you wanna please the world And leave yourself to drop dead? Someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. What do you actually expect? A broken mirror to reflect? You know, anklebiters Gave you a false perception. And why do I defend (C'mon, c'mon) your ignorance? Oh, why do I defend (C'mon, c'mon) the state you're in? You should fall in love With yourself, oh, again. Fall in love with yourself. Because someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. Someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. Why you wanna please the world And leave yourself to drop dead? Someday you’re gonna be The only one you’ve got. Anklebiters! Anklebiters! Someday you’re gonna be alone! Anklebiters! Anklebiters! |
Paramore is an alternative rock band that was formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. The band is led by singer Hayley Williams and backed by guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis. Paramore's song Anklebiters is about Individuality, and not letting people in the world who are trying to change you actually accomplish their goal. So often I see teenagers who will do insane things too be popular and fit in with people they may or may not even like. Girls spend hundreds of dollars on clothes and makeup and spend hours getting ready all to feel accepted by people that probably don't like them either. A lot of people don't see past popularity in high school. They think it is all that matters, even if they have to be mean to people they once may have be friends with to get there. Nobody sees that in real life, it does't actually matter if you were popular in high school or not, no one actually cares about that. When you eave high school, you will most likely leave your fake friends there as well. This is why it's important to make friends that you actually like and get long with in high school, or you will have no one. A line in the song says, "Someday you're going to be the only one you've got." This line is so telling because if you live your whole young life trying to please others and be like everyone else, you're not going to know who you actually are, and one day you're all you're going to have. The main message of this song is to stop trying to please people who won't matter later in life, but to start trying to make yourself happy, and find who you really are and what you want to be. "Fall in love with yourself."
