Brick by Boring Brick Lyrics Meaning

The song is about MK Ultra. Monarch Programming. Mind control. The Illuminati use it on children starting as early as two years old to warp them into obedient slaves.

"She lives in a fairy tale" refers to the alternate reality the child escapes to, as opposed to the horrifying reality she actually lives in.

"Somewhere too far for us to find" means that no one knows exactly what goes on in her mind because she's disconnected from reality.

"Forgotten the taste and smell of a world that she's left behind" suggests sensory deprivation, which is occasionally used in Monarch Programming.

"It's all about the exposure, the lens, I told her" is talking about when the child is old enough to be part of the media. You must look and behave the way you are told to front of the camera.

"The angles are all wrong now" means that everything she thought was real - her alternate reality - has turned nigtmarish, or she has discovered that it doesn't actually exist at all.

"She's ripping wings off of butterflies"
has a painfully obvious meaning - she grew up and, no longer the victim, is now the victimizer. She's helping torture children just as she was once tortured.

"Keep your feet on the ground while your head's in the clouds." There's a sense of disconnection or weightlessness when the child escapes reality.

"Well go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle, bury the caste." Simply put, now that she's an adult, it's time to realize that the world she lived in as a child cannot exist anymore. Castles are one of the triggers used in Monarch Programming.

"So one day he found her crying, coiled up on the dirt ground." This could be a flashback, recalling how terrible her life actually was. She lived in a cell that was never cleaned. He was her handler, and one day he caught her crying. Children under mind control are suppossed to grow up tough.

"Her prince finally came to save her, and the rest you can figure out." Her handler was someone she was led to believe was a good guy, but he actually came to make her suffering worse.

"But it was a trick, and the clock struck twelve." He wasn't there to save her. He was there to beat and rape her.

"Well make sure to build your wall brick by boring brick, or the wolf's gonna blow it down." She has to separate what really happened and what did not, and do it solidly, or she could have a very serious mental breakdown. They also threw in a not-so-subtle reference to the Free Masons with the mention of bricks.

"If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hands, you can't feel it with your heart, and I won't believe it." Her fantasy world of her childhood is just that - a fantasy. Nothing real will come of it but delusion or maybe split personalities.

"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, yeah." Hayley Williams is saying that, as a girl and more likely to be a victim of sexual abuse, she would rather stay in reality while being victimized "in the dark" than give up her mind to MK Ultra.

The overall message here can be either of two things: Paramore knows about MK Ultra (perhaps victims of it themselves) and wish to live in reality. Or they know that, having been subjected to mind control, a person has to separate him or herself from that part of their lives to be able to do the same to future generation Illuminati.
