I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
There are people looking through
The window in the door they know exactly what we're here for
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.
If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, separate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paramore/fences.html ]
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile.
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this, big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this, big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.
Yeah, oh oh open wide,
'Cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.
Its all about a celebrity's life of being unprivate anymore, wherein the star is sort of finding it difficult to live under the limelight but still she has to look happy for the sake of the fans and the people. We all know how hollywood life goes. The sad message is contradicted by the upbeat of the song.. But still it's a good mix... Paramore rocks!

I love this song. This means alot to my boxed up controlled life. I believe this is sort of a powerful song to teenagers.

If fame and fortune is what you've prived yourself on all your life you'll have nothing when its gone when you want to turn back you really cant because you have nothing else left so you pretend to be happy when in reality your miserable and you realize its not all what you thought it would be before its all you had and now that there's no choice but to continue on that path it kills you slowly and painfully on the inside
Well, what i think is basically the same as everyone. It's about someone who's famous wanting to get out of the limelight because the constant pressure is slowly killing them - whether emotionally or physically is left unsaid but the point stands - and they realise that they can't get out. It's kind of a contradiction because they're dying from the fame but it's all they'll ever have, so they crave it too and they can't show what they feel because it'll mean bad publicity. This is honestly my favourite paramore song, followed by let the flames begin and i really, really hope they continue to make songs as good as this, even with the loss of two members. So yeah, don't stop the beat!
But ! I also think that this song coud be like a person in an asylum or prison or like a person about to be convicted and played the crazy card
Like there is a room with walls and that would be like in the straight jacket room . So like there are people around tryin to find out if your fakinbut you have to play it off and you have to play like u arent miserable
But in fact your about to rip your eye sockets off but u cant
cuz u have pride so like to all ur friends and accompaces u pretend ur an ok crazy guy
thats just my interpretation
I totally regret what i just said
i love you hayley. Im sorry. I never thought that about you i swear. Forgive me. Your amazing and so good with you fans what am i talking about?
I kinda feel stupied saying this but, even though i love paramore and being famous is hard, it was a let down to me. To me it sounds like there in a meet and greet place and waiting for the people to come in and they really dont want to be there. I wanted to go to a meet and greet with paramore but now im scared if i do they "wont look up and let me think theres no place else they'd rather be" but secretly behind there smile they'll look at me as if im just another fan and really just want to sign my crap and get out of there. I'm biggest paramore fan but thats just my opinion on the song. I love you forever paramore.
I think they're sitting in a room with big white walls... I also think the meaning of this song is about being a celebrity and their public lives, they have to act like they're always happy. If they don't, they will get shunned by the press and won't "go out in style. " (okay that's a long shot but oh wells. )
