October 2, 2009 asked vocalist and lyricist Hayley Williams to explain
her theory in this song that everyone is just a misguided ghost. She
replied: "Some people might think that I actually know what I'm doing
but I'm just 20 years old and figuring myself out on a daily basis. The
greatest thing about it is that I know now that I don't have to live up
to someone else's expectations of me. It's freeing when you finally
realise that you don't have to have all the answers."
Hayley Williams (from Alternative Press):
"This is the redheaded stepchild of the record. No offense to any
actual redheaded stepchildren - I was one. Taylor [York, rhythm guitar]
wrote the music for this while we were on tour in England. It was after
we'd 'come back' from the break. But I think, mentally, we were all
still pretty checked out. All of 2008 was pretty hard, and even though
there were a lot of amazing things happening, life felt really
complicated for the first time ever for me. So I wrote about that. I
like it because it sort of embodies every random, confusing emotion that
I've ever had about living in this crazy world."
