15 Paramore Lyrics That Got Me Through Hard Times

Wikimedia Commons

Since my angsty middle school days, I have loved Paramore without missing a single beat in their discography.

Paramore blew up with their "Riot!" album, which made hearts melt everywhere.

Here are some of my favorite lyrics, bottom to top, that helped me through hard times.

“Some things I’ll never know, and I had to let them go. But I’m sitting all alone, feeling empty.” — Pressure

Giphy

“I’ve seen you cry way too many times when you deserved to be alive.” — Emergency

Giphy

“I am nothing now, and it’s been so long since I’ve heard a sound. The sound of my only hope, this time I will be listening” — My Heart

Giphy

“Somehow, everything’s gonna fall right into place. If we only had a way to make it all fall faster every day. If only time flew like a dove. We gotta make it fly faster than I’m falling in love.” — Hallelujah

Giphy

“Take these chances to turn it around. Let’s take these chances. We’ll make it somehow. And take these chances and turn it around, just turn it around.” — When It Rains

Giphy

“This is how we’ll dance when they try to take us down. This is what we’ll be, oh glory.” — Let the Flames Begin

Giphy

“No matter how long, I believe there’s hope buried beneath it all and hiding beneath it all and growing beneath it all.” — Let the Flames Begin

Giphy

“But if it’s true, you can see it with your eyes. Oh, even in the dark. And that’s where I want to be.” — Brick By Boring Brick

Giphy

“The wheels are cranking, turning, as we work toward a goal that’s non-existent, that’s non-existent, but we just keep believin’.” — Turn It Off

Giphy

“It’s just a spark, but it’s enough to keep me going. And when it’s dark out and no one’s around, it keeps glowing.” — Last Hope

Giphy

“It’s not that I don’t feel the pain. It’s just, I’m not afraid of hurting anymore." — Last Hope

Giphy

“You say my eyes are getting too dark now, but boy, you ain’t ever seen my mind." — Rose-Colored Boy

Giphy

“And they say that dreaming is free, but I wouldn’t care what it cost me” — 26

Giphy

“We could let the light illuminate these hopeless places." — Idle Worship

Giphy

“Of all the weapons you fight with, your silence is the most violent." — Tell Me How

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
