Paramore’s “Brick by Boring Brick”: A Song about Mind Control
By VC | December 5th, 2009 | Category: Music Business | 479 comments“Brick by Boring Brick” by the band Paramore describes the adventures of a girl in a fantasy land. The wonder quickly turns into a nightmare and the friendly creatures turn against her. What is the meaning of this video? The answer is concealed in the symbolism of the video and alludes to a disturbing practice: mind control.
I’ve been often asked if the symbolism described in my previous articles are found in music videos outside of the R&B genre I usually analyze. The answer is sadly ‘yes’ and Paramore’s Brick by Boring Brick is a stunning example. This pop-punk band, described as “emo without being whiny or bratty” primarily appeals to kids and teenagers.
They have obtained worldwide success and numerous awards for their singles crushcrushcrush and Decode. The band has been featured in numerous movies (Twilight) and video games. The newest album of the band, named Brand New Eyes, introduces to the fans symbolism they are probably not familiar with. Looking at the promotional material, readers of this site will probably recognize signs and symbols used by other pop stars as well. To make it simple: Paramore seems to have been influenced by the Illuminati. Brick by Boring Brick steers away from the usual high school themes of the band to tackle a subject that is totally oblivious to most teenagers: mind control and, more precisely, Monarch Programming.
That Darned One Eye Symbol
As seen with Lady Gaga, Rihanna and other artists using mind control symbolism in their videos, Paramore has adopted the “One-Eye” symbol in their promotional pictures:
Please don’t tell me it is a coincidence.
Monarch Programming
As discussed in previous articles, Monarch Programming is a mind-control technique used mostly on children to make them dissociate from reality.
“One of the primary reasons that the Monarch mind-control programming was named Monarch programming was because of the Monarch butterfly. The Monarch butterfly learns where it was born (its roots) and it passes this knowledge via genetics on to its offspring (from generation to generation). This was one of the key animals that tipped scientists off, that knowledge can be passed genetically.
(…)
The primary important factor for the trauma-based mind-control is the ability to disassociate. It was discovered that this ability is passed genetically from generation to generation. American Indian tribes (who had traumatic ritual dances and who would wait motionless for hours when hunting), children of Fakirs in India (who would sleep on a bed of nails or walk on hot coals), children of Yogis (those skilled in Yoga, who would have total control over their body while in a trance), Tibetan Buddhists, children of Vodoun, Bizango and other groups have a good ability to disassociate.
The children of multigenerational abuse are also good at dissociation. The Illuminati families and European occultists went to India and Tibet to study occultism and eastern philosophy. These Europeans learned yoga, tantric yoga, meditations, and trances and other methods to disassociate. These skills are passed on to their children via genetics. A test is run when the children are about 18 months old to determine if they can dissociate enough to be selected for programming or not.”
-The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave
- Mind Control Victim, 1961
During sexual abuse, electroshock therapy and all kinds of sadistic tortures, mind control slaves are encouraged to dissociate from reality and to go to “a happy place”. The use of fairy tale imagery is used to reinforce programming and to create an alternate reality. The victim’s brain, in self-preservation mode, creates a new persona (an “alter”) as a defense mechanism to the abuse. The blurring of the lines between reality and fantasy makes the slave totally oblivious of his/her true state.
- Paramore’s latest album is called “Brand New Eyes”, which has obvious mind control/Illuminati connotations. The cover features a pinned butterfly with its wings separated from its body … symbolic indeed.
Brick by Boring Brick
Paramore’s song is, at face value, about a girl escaping her problems and acting childish only to realize that it makes things worse. Behind this first degree meaning, lies a second layer of interpretation: the song describes, in chilling detail, the reality of a mind-control slave. The video manages to assemble all of the symbolism usually associated with Monarch Programming in about three minutes, leaving no doubt concerning this secondary meaning of the song.
Right from the start of the video, the subject matter of the song is made very clear. The setting is totally unreal and synthetically created. A little girl, apparently a child version of the singer Hayley, runs towards a strange world, bearing monarch butterfly wings on her back, symbolizing that she is a Monarch slave. She almost reluctantly enters a symbolic gateway, representing the start of her dissociative state. The door violently shuts down behind her, which hints the viewers to the fact that this wonderland is forcibly induced on the child. The lyrics of the first verse describe the reality of the slave.
Well she lives in the fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she’s left behind
It’s all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles are all wrong now
She’s ripping wings off of butterflies
The girl lives in a “fairy tale”, which is her dissociative mind state. It is “too far for us to find” due to the fact that this world can only be found in the confines of her consciousness. The slave has been removed from her family and the real world to live in a confined environment. She has “forgotten the taste and smell” of the the “real world” she has left behind. She lives in a prison for kids, a human rat laboratory and she is constantly manipulated by her handlers. All of her senses are subject to constant pressure and pain and her perception of reality is completely distorted: “The angles are all wrong now“. She is a Monarch slave and is thus “ripping wings off of butterflies“.
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head’s in the clouds
The dissociative state experienced by Monarch slaves is often described as a sensation of weightlessness. While her feet are on the ground, her consciousness is in an alternate reality or “in the clouds“.
The girl in the video walks around this strange world filled with fairy tale characters which are reminiscent of those found in Alice in Wonderland or the Wizard of Oz, the stories most commonly associated with mind control. The blurriness of the scenes and the presence of mushrooms in the background refer to the use of hallucinogenic drugs during Monarch Programming.
The girl enters a castle, representing her inner consciousness. Mirrors, reflections and the girl’s multiplication symbolize the girl’s fragmented/compartmentalized mind state.
The girl stands still while an independent, alternate personality, looking back at her through the mirror brushes her hair. Mirrors and castles are triggers that are often used in Monarch Programming.
“The premise of trauma-based mind control (a version of which was known as the MK Ultra program) is to compartmentalize the brain, and then use techniques to access the different sections of the brain while the subject is hypnotized. Entire systems can be embedded into a person’s mind, each with its own theme, access codes and trigger words. Some of the most common and popular symbolisms and themes in use are Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz, mirrors, porcelain/harlequin masks, the phoenix/phoenix rising, rainbows, butterflies, owls, keys, carousels, puppets/marionettes and dolls,willow trees, tornadoes, spirals/helixes, castles, rings, hallways and doors, elevators and stairs.”

The second verse of the song describes a disturbing reality of Monarch slaves.
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
This is the picture painted by this verse: the slave’s handler enters her “cell”, where she is coiled up and deeply traumatized. The floor is dirty. It has been documented that victims of mind control are forced to live rooms littered with feces (I can’t make this stuff up). Her “prince”, who is in fact her handler, comes in to “save her from her pain”. Handlers are often portrayed as the slave’s savior, who will guide them through traumatic events. The line “And the rest you can figure out” alludes to the worst: the “prince” came to rape her. It was a trick, he was not a prince, only a sadistic handler furthering the girl’s trauma with sexual abuse. During those repeated assaults, the slaves are forced to dissociate from reality. The lyrics of the song’s bridge aptly define this concept.
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
She has built, brick by brick, a wall in her consciousness that dissociates her from reality. She escapes into a world of magic due to the extreme trauma she has to live through on a daily basis.
The Awakening
Probably because the girl’s curiosity concerning her own mind has lead her too far, the world of wonders quickly becomes nightmarish. Creepy puppets make their way out of the mirrors. The characters of her fairy tale world suddenly become terrifying. An evil-looking character, dressed as a thief holding an ax, approaches her. Is she being reprimanded by her handlers for “not following the script” of her programming? The girl is understandably freaked out and runs away. The lyrics explain this difference between reality and fiction.
If it’s not real
You can’t hold it in your hand
You can’t feel it with your heart
And I won’t believe it
But if it’s true
You can see it with your eyes
Or even in the dark
And that’s where I want to be, yeah
The girl runs out of the castle and falls into the grave dug by … Paramore? That is not really cool of them. Hayley gets up, throws the girl’s doll into the grave and they start burying her. At face value, this can interpreted as the burial of the “young irresponsible girl” living in a fairy tale. On a second level, this can be seen as the burial of the innocence of a child after experiencing traumatic events.
If you have keen eyes, you can notice a white rabbit inside the hole. Is it the white rabbit of Alice in Wonderland? As Morpheus says in the Matrix:
“You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. “
Whatever the meaning one attributes to the burial, the message of the video is not to sympathetic to the girl’s quest of self-knowledge and emancipation. Seems like they’re saying “This is what you get for trying to know your real self”.
In Conclusion
After viewing the video a couple of times, I asked myself if the song was actually a denunciation of mind-control practices … maybe it was trying to inform and warn people on the subject. So I visited some Paramore-related sites and forums to see if the song had sparked discussions concerning its deeper meaning. I quickly came back to the reality of things: Young people listen to this music and they have absolutely NO IDEA what’s going on. About 97% of educated adults are totally unaware of the existence of mind control (let alone its symbolism), so to expect high schoolers know about this is totally absurd. Here are some actual comments from fans about this song: “I luv the Badabada part!“, “Hayley looks great in blonde!“or “I don’t like the burying part!“.
So with that in mind I keep asking myself: Why do we use symbolism and triggers associated with mind control in videos aimed at the young people? They are totally oblivious to the reality of Monarch programming, so why do we expose them to it? After realizing that the group has adopted some of the Illuminati symbolism discussed in previous articles, the answer became very clear: They are part of the System, with a capital “S”. This System hypnotically conditions people to accept mind control as part of their daily lives and the trend is becoming increasingly apparent. I can already hear the naysayers saying “nay” to everything and finding ways to rationalize everything that has been discussed here. Maybe they should ponder on those words:
“Even as he dances to the tune of the elite managers of human behavior, the modern man scoffs with a great derision at the idea of the existence and operation of a technology of mass mind control emanating from media and government. Modern man is much too smart to believe anything as superstitious as that!
Modern man is the ideal hypnotic subject: puffed up on the idea that he is the crown of creation, he vehemently denies the power of the hypnotist’s control over him as his head bobs up and down on a string.”

WOW!!!! This is Krazy!!!!
The System?
I followed your article up till that point. If anything, the band is against mind control – as previous posts say – this album is about the band going through a rough patch and what they were feeling. It’s outlandish to make such an assumption.
“Mind control” is a popular theme, no doubt, but that’s pop culture – going along with trends and fads. The Paramore band members are normal people, like anyone of us – there is no “System” – they want their music to be loved, same as any band – and they can accomplish that by going with trends. It’s how records are sold. Get back on your rocking chair.

… Vigilant, these articles are brilliant, but what do we have to look forward to? I’m literally asking, is there any hope? They’re slowly swallowing EVERYTHING.
Yes there is hope. There’s only two sides to all this despite the overload of seemingly conflicting occult entities. There is the deception of satan that overarch’s the illuminati, freemasonry and all false religions etc etc etc… and there is Jesus. The Bible is not a large book. It was designed to be understood. God knew before the foundations of time that you would be asking the question you just have and He has provided the Bible to specifically answer it for you and to tell you about the provision He has made for you.
Read a Bible and a good study guide. Make the Bible you read a King James version (or a New KJV if the thee’s and thou’s do your head in)
THERE IS HOPE… JESUS IS IT!
you know what all these people really are? they are satanists ,heres the kicker the are not who they appear to be , they are dammed souls, living in the body of who that person used to be. There are millions in the united states, you ever wonder why everyone is sop wicked and flashing satanic signs all the time? it is because they are satanic and not who they appear to be, it is true ,it happens when someone goes in for an operation and they get there soul driven out by electric shock.
There is a heaven and hell and we are near the end of time, pay attention for yourself take a good look at everyone and you might start to see , one other thing ,they can read your mind, all sound crazy? it is not and if you pay attention you will realize it is true.
these “people” will lie to the ends of the earth to protect there activities, like many of the people that post comments here, it is all very real. God will get them in the end ,there activities are futiile
Thank you dday! These people treat these celebrities like there so high up above THERE NOTHING BUT SELL OUTS! regular humans who sold out For fame and fortune if you dont know this band personally you dont know what the fuck is going on in there hearts and heads.Stop defending people you dont know because thats exactly what they are.JUST PEOPLE.Everything he says makes sense wether you choose to like or beileve it or not.And if you do not like it you shouldent be on this site?Dont come here hating on what hes trying to inform us acting like hes the one crazy when its you for defending someone SO HIGHLY you dont even know.They have got you under a spell and you cant take the fact hes trying to tell you.Wake your asses up before its to late is were i leave of.
there not humans ,the are devils , be observant and you will see for yourselves, the people who defend all the celebrities and media people are not human either, these people are DEVILS, for real I mean, nyphilium(google it) , they are not people , and they are not aliens, they are dammed souls reincarnated at the end of time, it happened before , before the flood ( noah arc) and it happened again, all of these satanic beings think we are to stupid to figure it out , so they are brazen , they are NOT people, they just look like people. They didnt sell out to Satan to be famous they did it because they are what I say
@BBBB
I agree completely with you.
Vigilant, you should have really done more research on the band, album and song before you wrote this article. They are still so young and they are Christians themselves, and if someone were to tell them about this “Monarch Program” they would be scratching their heads. As the hand symbols are concerned, you may be right in their meaning, but they’re very popular and most people, including the members of Paramore, are ignorant to their meaning because it’s so widely used in the rock world, so do not accuse them of using it for evil purposes, because most teenagers use it too. What, are they evil to? No, just ignorant.
Please, before you write anymore articles, do more research on what you’re writing about, because this article is very misleading and inaccurate.
I was kinda following you with Gaga and Rihanna, but I honestly think this is too far. You can find symbolism in absolutely ANYTHING. The funny thing about symbolism: it’s for you to interpret. A smart person such as yourself could just as easily see that this video needs no analyzing, if you try to look any deeper below the surface than you will only find what you set out to find in the first place. I think it’s slightly biased, for lack of a better word.
Personally, I’m a great fan of Paramore ever since I heard “Misery Business” and since i’m young too, i never paid much attention to those videos. As I grew older, i managed to realize the truth of our surroundings and started to feel more curious about what happens now. Still costs me the fact that Paramore are becoming like many other bands who use symbolisms as publicity without giving a “Bologna Sandwich” for the consumerists.
Odd as it is, it is true. But it is true that a strong mind can always fight against incoming threats or harming messages, no matter where they come from. So, people, there’s no need for being scared and all paranoid about what you hear and see. Keep a strong mind and always remember: Mind is a Man’s Strongest Asset.
OK, for the last time: I HAVE researched that group and even though they claim they are Christian, that doesn’t take away from any of the symbolism in the video. The video was directed by Meiert Davis. He is the one who’ve added that symbolism.
@An Observant Paramore Fan
.. i’m young & i still don’t know half as much as others a lot older than me do about this, but i’m doing my research & i’m asking other people to research it also, because my mission was to prove These people wrong..I also thought it was crazy talk.. but i had a difficult time doing it, because i’m a pretty observant person & the proof is right in front of our eyes… the symbolism once you know it’s there you notice it.. EVERYWHERE. and don’t say that they are too young to be a part of this because they are around my age, plus a few years & they also have people around them saying what they should do & controling their every move.. you aren’t on the inside, therefore you don’t know if their next step could make or break their career & if they are passionate about this or taken in by all the fame and fortune they could be young and naive and make the wrong move… sell out.
I also agree that vigilant should have done more research on the band, i am a paramore fan, but i will delete them off my playlist in a heart beat if i found out they were associated with this illuminati/mind control thing. I’m 18, since the beginning of december
many satanists claim to be christians, by the way vigilante this all goes much deeper, there are many nonhumans
many satanists claim to be christian
many satanists claim to be christian, by the way vigilante this all goes much deeper ,these people are not only satanists , but satanic, not human
@Vigilant
Okay, I understand, it’s just you said that Paramore themselves have been recruited by the Illuminati, of which I highly doubt. You may be right about Meiert Davis though – because I don’t see Paramore themselves incorporating symbolism into their videos. The song, on the other hand, has nothing to do with mind control.
“A brick is such a traditional, tired and plain boring representation of solidity. I wanted the whole song to have this sort of fairy tale vibe… only to twist the point I’m trying to make in the song which is, ‘Stop living in a fake fairytale… like, WAKE UP!’ When thinking how I could really get that across in the song I decided I’d use a house. Someone’s safe place, even in a fairy tale… you can’t forge a refuge out of magic & fairy dust. You gotta build it just as real and as solid as a stupid old brick.” – Hayley Williams, brand new eyes Deluxe Edition Journal
For the record, I completely agree with you on your analysis of Lady GaGa. I knew something was never right about that chick. I guess it was the holy spirit that led me to stay away from her music (even though after one listen, I couldn’t get Bad Romance out of my head). xD
PS – I have this add-on called McAfee SiteAdvisor, and your site has a yellow (!) warning on it. Why would that be?

Okay, ive heard EVERYTHING ppl have to say about this but my question is Can i still listen to their old album, when they werent in the MK thing????
@Tosin
i dont think you have to ask anyone this but yourself.. i have every Paramore album there is and many of the songs have good messages so its all up to you, aslong as you know theirs a limit to all of this and that at the end of the day God is the only answer!
BTW All We Know Is Falling was and still is their best album!
IMO.
oh? i thnk ur wrong about dis.
i love paramore.
Err…at first I was like oh no! not Paramore, but then I kept reading and noticed a flaw. You didn’t print the chorus because it contradicts what you’ve said.
“Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
keep your feet on the ground
when your head’s in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we’ll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle”
Basicaly saying you’ve got to get rid of childish fantasy – the ‘castle’ – and start building your life out of stable things like bricks even if it’s ‘boring’, just like the third pig did in the story of the three little pigs and his house survived the big bad wolfe. So infact the song is talking about the opposite of what you’ve said. It’s saying get OUT of dreaming about fairytales.
Also the monarch butterfly has got to be the most COMMON butterfly used. I’ve used it in my art work hundreds of times does that mean I’m a part of the luminati?? It was nominated in 1990 as the national insect of the USA.
As for the hand gestures she’s not even doing them right, which means she probably doesn’t understand them and is just doing them because of fashion, as you said not many people know about these things.
And FYI the ‘a-ok’ sign is also used by divers…huh they must worship satan aswell…
And how can you say that about Alice in Wonderland it’s a book written in the 1860′s??
Also I don’t think you’re looking for the truth in this article you’re just trying to prove a point, so you’re not looking at the whole thing…have you run out of artists to write about?? is that what this is…seriously??
come of it!
the last thing I have to say is Paramore didn’t even make the video themselves!! the director did everything!! If you saw the interview Josh said that they wish they could have done the video themselves and direct it by themself!! The whole band agreed!!
stupid morons! who honestly belives this stuff? idiots, thats who. you guys are the mind controllers. i would cuss you out but i wont waste my time!
Wow… I guess I needed something to make me laugh – thanks for that. It really is amusing how some people will dig desperately for anything to fuel paranoia about conspiracy theories… did it ever occur to you that this is a bit hypocritical? If this were true (no doubt it is – all those pictures and the ideas you strung together just can’t be wrong!) then Paramore aren’t the only ones trying to brainwash people.
oh, haha. i’m sorry, but this is hilarious!! Paramore….mind controllers? BAHAHA. and all these comments…people listen to you like you’re God, Vigilant. it’s like a cult around here. i hope you use that power for good in the future. and as for the article, props for coming up with all the backing arguments. you clearly spent a lot of time on it. i just think it’s really, really funny.
and thanks for the laugh, Vigilant. you made my day.
whether this is true or not (it’s not), and whether i believe it or not (I don’t), this article has put a bad taste in my mouth for the song. now everytime i listen to one of the best songs by my favorite band, i’m going to think about Monarch Programming.
THANKS so much
…i don’t know how i could possibly live without this VITAL information.
i hope u tasted the sarcasm there
I think you are sadly mistaken. I do not think that Paramore of all people would write a song about a mind control slave. You really worked on this, fitting all the little bits and pieces and moving them just right so they look like they work. But really, this is just like a puzzle. If you have the wrong piece it doesn’t work. You have misguided information, and I’m sorry but this makes no sense and it’s the wrong piece.
All I am going to say is I completely agree with chainmaker, gnome & lily blake.. Although, I am only 17 years old, so probably not as educated about this topic as a lot of the people posting, but I have been doing my research for a couple months now & my whole goal was to prove this theory is false, but the more information that i found, the more I started to see how it all made sense & fitted together.. too well for it ALL to be coincidences. Whether you believe that some of the people that are in our goverment or entertainment industry worship satan or not, or maybe even if you don’t Believe in satan Or God, you cannot deny that there is something shady going on. take the blindfold off your eyes! my mom worked at the capitol in sacramento, california & she worked with a lot of bad people. My mom was not the greatest person then either, she was into drugs & she did drugs with some people you wouldn’t believe.. people you assume you should be able to trust.. not only that.. get this: there motto-”keep the masses stupid”
Jimmay: 9/11 WAS an inside job.. it doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out. Many people who were there, that have absolutely no reason to lie have said that they heard an expolsion from below mere seconds BEFORE the planes crashed into the buildings and can you explain how for the FIRST time in history they couldnt find the black box flight recorders that would have told us everything that happend that day… what the terrorists were saying, what language they were speaking, what the pilots were saying, what they were saying to the people on the ground.. they found TINY little bones to identify the bodies of the people that died but missed 4 big black boxes?! I don’t think so… it was a false flag attack on americans by americans to scare us so we run to our government asking ”what do we do next?” ”protect us!” all these people that testify that were THERE have yet to recognized, you’d think that the government would WANT to hear their stories yea? one man analyzed dust from sept. 11th & said there was residue of an explosive & after he told about his findings he was forced to leave his job..hmm this kind of explains why building 7 that was NOT hit by a plane collapsed the exact same way & just as fast as the buildings that were & that was not as easy building for these ”terrorists” to get into to. why they distroyed the evidence so quickly.. i would think with something as serious as this, our government would want to examine that as much as possible & keep looking until they found those black boxes, but no they were in a hurry to get it out of there… and they say it’s because they didnt want people to have to look at everyday & be reminded? bullshit! people wanted to know exactly what happened! they never got the real answer! Baaaa that’s what sheep say and that’s basically what you are, so lemme hear it BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@ cmartine14: Watched that ”Died another day” video as well… Creeeppyy. I gotta say people who watch all these videos & deny the connection are lying to themselves. also i would like to know why all of the sudden celebs Rihanna & lady gaga (maybe others, but these are just the ones i noticed) think it’s cool to start putting songs out about Russian Roulette, a suicidal game! lady gaga first mentioned it in ”poker face” & now rihanna has a whole song about it & I have to say I didn’t even know what it was until I googled it.. but it’s sick & a scary thing really! don’t you think now kids are gonna be like oh Rihanna plays it so i wanna try it(even if she doesnt they may think she does or shes Glamorizing it anyway) kids & teens think they are invincible.. i should know i did at one point also! they act without thinking about consequence. and rihanna goes on 20/20 talking about how she KNOWS there are millions of young girls that admire & wanna be like her, so she leaves her abusive relationship.. yea yea… what about dressing like a hooker & singing about such horrible things! what about that???
@katy & sam: yet you WASTED your time to comment & call people idiots? ahaha. FAIL.
Oh wow, Vigilant. Paramore uses symbolism in ONE of their videos, and they’re immediately mind controlling, and Illuminatis?
I call bull. That band is very religious.
I believe you with Jay Z, and Rihanna.
But Paramore? Really? They’re good kids. Come off it.
i have to say, i appreciate what you’re doing here my friend, but some people here have made a good point. You can’t just listen to everything people tell you… whether it be the government, the news or even this site here, take in what he says & research it until you discover the truth for yourself. I am a HUGE paramore fan..lol so i gotta look into this a little more for myself.. but all you going ”vigilant what do we do now? we cant listen to any music anymore” c’mon.. you have to think for yourself thats the WHOLE POINT! I did try to ask hayley williams, the lead singer of paramore, to read this article & speak up about it, but no response.. go figure.
watttttttt ??? not paramore ?!!!! how could it be ?!?!? we ! awchiee !
paramore it da best
It is the same for the movie Labyrinth (The title already speaks for itself) and just about every Walt Disney cartoon that brings the young naive mind to a ‘Fantasy Landscape…Disney’s Fantasia has these dark scenarios as well…. Avatar movie hounds on Mother Earth Godess GAIA, pagan chantings and Fallen Angel Hybrids of The days of Noah (Book of Enoch), etc.
The Movie 300 distorts who The Committee of 300 /Olympians/Illuminati/Elite/Establishment really are and portray Xerxes as evil when the bible accounts is the opposite…
Certain Hollywood movies do portray an ‘Almost There & Yet Not Quite There’ scenario or character of a person just to do a ‘Cover Up’………
I’m typically completely with you, but in the case of Paramore, I know the intent is more so speaking against the system. They use various symbolism as a sign to the system that they are well aware of its existence, but wont fall into it. The thing about this programs symbolism is that most of it only warps Biblical symbolism, which Paramore is very familiar with and, they have always sprinkled symbolism in favor of God/Jesus in their music and concerts. Particularly in the song ‘Let the Flames Begin’ which is one of the more popular of these songs. But definitely speaks of how the world, nay-sayers, and kingdom of the enemy [devil] will try persecuting God’s children in the end times (which they identify themselves as by using words such as ‘us’ and ‘we’.)
Having started the journey in this industry at such a young age, I know they have been exposed to its inner workings. I believe however, that they are wise enough to know that all of this shall soon come to a head, therefore they are addressing it early, even if the teeny boppers and their parents don’t get it now. They will eventually. When their ‘eyes are truly opened’.
just remember – directors and writers usually create the scripts and shoot the shots.
also, don’t underestimate the potential for ideas and concepts to transmitted from one place to another ….. and I’ll leave it at that for you to discern.
I am new to all this, and it comes as a great shock to me…
You can have a go at people for trying to put your views in the wrong. But i think the main reason this infact is happening is because, like me, people are new to this information and so therefore it scares them and they want to find any “point” or “evidence” to prove you wrong purely to feel better themselves.
James, a concerned… Citizen (Pondering that title in this world)
And in addition to my comment…
The discovery of the, lesser known to the general public, “illuminati” has taken away all the guilty feelings of downloading music “illegally” as, if true, this money goes straight towards the expansion of them and/or their technology.
Alright, I have to ask the question that no one seems to have brought up yet:
WHY is the Illuminati using “Mind Control”?
Mind you I think this is all a load of bullshit and arguing with idiots only makes you an idiot yourself, of course. However, just on the off chance that I am wrong and Vigilant is right (hahah), someone please tell me WHY the Illuminati is using Monarch Programming? I’ll I’ve seen on this site is “Don’t listen to this artist, they’re bad and use mind control!” but no one ever really says where that’s going. Does the government want everyone in the country to start eating more vegetables? Do they want to turn us into an army of soldiers to complete their tasks of world domination? I mean… it’s easy enough to point out every symbol of the sun or an eye and say it’s about Ra or Horus, or taking everything with a butterfly (a universal symbol for change and luck, by the way, not mind control) and saying it’s a reference to Monarch Programming, or taking everything with two pillars holding up and arch (because apparently nobody realizes that the only way an arch can stand alone is if it’s supported by two pillars) and saying it’s a reference to an esoteric Illuminati symbol…
Anyone can do all this and say that the mainstream media is using mind control, but unless you’ve got anything as to what they want to control our minds for, I have to remain skeptical.
the hole i believe is for her to come out of her fantasy world because u said castle is one of the words that r used for the mind control so burying hopefully would help get rid of it she is trying to save her probably
You’re an idiot, Vaginalint. Why do you want to scare and confuse people like that? So you can get more hits on your retarded website? Gimme a break here.
all u ppl r blind ok with the negative comments when we approach the end of times n u c the whole world is entirely corrupt u will rem everything u said n how u didnt believe but its ok God said many are called but few r chosen so go ahead dont take heed just rem someone made U!n then your creator will come to judge n when he says to “depart from me i never knew you”i hope u have a good save altho it wont work.just be aware please read your bible you will understand what this person is trying to tell us.
The thing I find most amusing about all of this is that while the author attacks mind control, most of the people who read this blogs are puppets of the author. Comments such as “Now I have another thing to delete off my iPod” show that while people are trying to rebel against mind control, they’re not strong enough to do so, as they’re ultimately being controlled by someone anyway. In this instance, it just so happens to be the author of the article in most cases.
I should also mention that taking what the author has written for gospel is amazingly ignorant. The written word, whether it be lyrics from a song, a novel or even a magazine article, can have many meanings, and each person my interpret it differently. The fact that people are willing to abandon their own ideas of what the lyrics of song means in favour of just agreeing with what someone else has written in what will forever be an open debate is baffling.
this is amazing, i was actually very curious to the meaning of this song, and you’ve broken it up piece by piece and helped me to understand. There are alot of different pieces of “analyzised” work on this song, but all just seem so shallow, whereas you’ve completely scanned through the song. Such a dark meaning, who would of thought through just listening to a catchy song…
aww : ( watda : (but y paramore ? i can’t believe itt : ( awchiiee !! im a paramore fan but really can’t believe dat ? should i believe you the ” owner ” of the vigilant citizen ? : (
Hayley Williams explained to Kerrang! magazine that, “this song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they’re living a fantasy life. It’s one thing to have goals and dreams but it’s another thing when you never know where you’re standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that.” She also added: “Brick By Boring Brick is about not accepting reality and understanding that you don’t have to make everything frilly or pretty-sounding for it to be interesting. Life doesn’t have to be some grand production, and some of the boring parts of being alive are actually the greatest. The song is about breaking down those walls and finding out that the centre of it is what really matters.””

Im actually a high-schooler and since the first time i saw the video i knew that it was related to mind control, i’ve been doing research about song meanings and I found it very interesting
I feel like you may have went in depth more than you should. What your saying makes sense and relates quite well, but I don’t think that’s what the band intended it to mean. Here’s a quote I found from the lead singer, Hayley:
“This song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they’re living a fantasy life. It’s one thing to have goals and dreams but it’s another thing when you never know where you’re standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that.”
In the deluxe album booklet, she wrote:
“I believe it’s important to stay young at heart. To have faith in what might seem impossible and to have goals beyond your current ambitions or temporary means. However, there is a huge difference, to me anyways, between acknowledging your dreams and never living in reality. Some people are so scared of being boring— so insecure with who they might be— that they build up this huge lie, it’s all one big distraction. For not only the on-lookers but for their self. To me, it is a selfish way to live. A great means of defense. But selfish nonetheless. I’ve been hurt by this lifestyle. Hurt by people I barely know. I’ve even been guilty of living this way. It’s so common. I’m glad that I’ve found some words to finally speak up about it.
A brick is such a traditional, tired and plain boring representation of solidity. I wanted the whole song to have this sort of fairy tale vibe… only to twist the point I’m trying to make in the song which is, ‘Stop living in a fake fairytale… like, WAKE UP!’ When thinking how I could really get that across in the song I decided I’d use a house. Someone’s safe place, even in a fairy tale… you can’t forge a refuge out of magic & fairy dust. You gotta build it just as real and as solid as a stupid old brick.”
Also, like some people have said, you should research the band before stating your argument.
@ Maddie If Vigilant likes fishticks… well, that would make him a gayfish.
Hahah.
While I agree with, or at least understand, the theory that this song is about mind control, you do force a few of the meanings into the song. “The prince raped her” is quite far-fetched and totally out of nowhere. The song does say it was a trick, but nowhere does it imply the trick was even implemented by the “Prince”. In fact, the wording seems to support that the “trick” were just her own delusions.
Also, 97% of adults? Where’d that number come from?
Now I’m very much in agreement with that final quote of yours, and definitely can believe a conspiracy like this (Especially as an avid fan of George Orwell), but in order to make yourself a little more credible, you have to stop forcing some of this material in there. I’ve seen in other articles too. The message can be spread without jamming inappropriate or simply incorrect meanings onto things.
Paramore are Christians. They are not a part of the Illuminati, or mind control.
They wouldn’t need mind control cause just about everyone loves their music. =}
lol no prob Skye!
Theres what is really going on and then there is stretching the truth and it becomes twisted so all i say is that you have got to be careful what you read and where the informations from.
i dont get that whole one eye sybol thing youre tallking.
she only covers her eye in two pictures.
as my personal opinion, i think people look into things way too hard.
i laughed. but really, if this is true, then i would honestly rather think what they want me to think.
you’re saying that the Illuminati fund a band and implant subliminal messages in the video.
fine… now, why would they create a video that exposes practices that you’d think they’d be pretty keen to keep quiet about ?
remember… this is a video in which they could use any kind of imagery to brainwash and influence the viewer, yet you’re saying they choose to drop loads of clues about monarch programming (in this video) and in other videos they simply drop as many of their (not so secret anymore) symbols as possible, usually with a far vaguer message, but presumably just as an in joke between themselves.
so Vigilant Citizen, why would a powerful elite go to great trouble and expense to try and expose themselves via pop-pawns to the public, when they could remain hidden and really try to manipulate us invisibly ?
sorry, but your reasoning doesn’t make any sense.
(p.s. you’ve also overlooked the fact that most pop artists utilize dark imagery just to look ‘cool’ and to foster an aura of mystery)
I have 3 questions…
1. Why are they all doing this for? what’s the goal? if we teenagers have absolutely no idea of hidden meanings and stuff like that, why would they even bother putting those stuff on videos?
2. What kind of music should I Iisten to now? I mean, I was such a fan of Lady GaGa…is it bad to still listen to her music?…Now that I know this, what should I do? :S
3. I’m from Panamá, my first language is Spanish. Do you think all those hidden messages in songs will get to people even if they don’t speak English? Is it gonna be like a World Domination thing or what?

@Laz
I thought about this too. But the thing is is that the audience wouldn’t read beyond the first level of meaning. They wouldn’t associate this with the Illuminati whatsoever. Hell, most of them probably have no awareness of such a practice in the first place.
So with that said, they can safely conjure these highly metaphorical symbols without any suspicion.
Now, as for why they would even reveal themselves in any way, I think the reason is twofold. One, it’s to allow them to be the Illuminati in the public eye without any sort of scrutiny. People look into Lady Gaga and Rhianna’s radical changes in imagery as style, not conspiracy, and so now the Illuminati can safely act in the spotlight under the same guise.
Also, it’s as simple as desensitizing people and having them fall under the Illuminati agenda without them ever being aware of it.
I only half believe any of this, since a theory so major as this means it’s more likely to be untrue or exaggerated, but the clues are apparent and do make some sense.
Man i hate this videoclip it makes me angry somehow, well its creepy and deep at the same time and maybe because of the fact of the little girl falling in that hole. But also something that made me curious that in the very ending the girl as grown up walks back in direction of the castle..is there any meaning?
in my point of view when they buried her…it’s like that shes buring the past….or trying to forgett, consciously or not ^^ very constructibel acticle^^ 5*
so you think that a christian band that talks about praying and getting rid of their demons is satanic your pathetic you need to find something better to do with your time
I just figured I should add this, and show you guys that not everything is demonic and satanic.

dude you got it all wrong its about Paramore being in a big world at such a young age good try but you just got it wrong if you want to know wat it means ask them on twitter
hi
im 16
im emo, not the bartty depressed kind
i love this song, and i had some speculations on the video so i was clear then i Googled it and came accross this site which confirmed my suspicions im also A HUGE FAN OF LADY GAGA, i am really glad u take time to analyze these videos, it doesnt stop me from listening to their music and i helps me to be more conscious of what im listening too and what the intent of the song and video truly is, keep up the good work and i hope people become more conscious of what their listening too and the true meaning of it.
PS
I LOVE READING ON THE OCCULT I FIND THE TOPIC INTERESTING
DONT WORRY I DONT INDULGE MYSELF IN THEM
I JUST LIKE TO MAKE MY SELF AWARE OF THE MANY VEILS THAT COVER THIS WORLD
It’s embarrassing to share the “Christian” title with so many self-righteous people that just love hearing themselves talk.
Words from hayley herself
I ♥ paramore!!
The time has finally come everything that was foretold has happened . I probably sound like some crazy jackass but its true if you know the first thing about Dajjal /anti-Christ then it fits in so well that its almost ridiculously obvious. The eye of Horus is a major symbol of that and the pyramid eye but don’t take my word for it just wait around and see for yourselves but don’t a mindless victim of the brain washing media paving the way for mankind’s very enemy.
Omg are your serious im well13 and wow i was oblivious to the fact i didn’t really know about that or anything dam not Paramore that’s a disappointment.
So in every way i frighten by the fact. I was curious about what it meant of course but it was always the ending that caught me off guard it just didn’t get the part but like i said before i was oblivious.
i had thought it meant
that the girl thought that everything was a pretty fairytale and then she find out about the horrible truth about life how there freaks and stuff and a fairytale can be very scary. And she died thinking of that
but seriously i never believed that I’m so mot a moron it didn’t add up guess i was always right?
thank you for the wake up call
But still i love paramore i don’t like this but still
nd as the comment before said emo? ugh i hate the word i have seen emo and who there not depress or what not
look on the fact Paramore is Rocking not i don’t really thing this article is very well right but still paramore may have not meant any of this and yes there Christians and what of it?
This is America who cares? Then so what are you going to do tell them not to believe in what they want?
I don’t like this but i don’t like to stay under fact
nor do i want to believe in everything that begin told to me
You know what, this is starting to get out of hand..
Lady Gaga was fine because she didn’t explain it clearly the meaning of her songs.
BUT! FOR ONE THING SHE IS NOT PART OF THE ILLUMINATI!
DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF CINEMATIC??!!!
THEY USED THOSE EFFING SYMBOLS TO MAKE IT LIKE WAtCHING A MOVIE BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT almost “LITERALLY” just because they used those symbols meaning they want to convey something SATANIC or whatever..
But Paramore, GOSH, the meaning of the song is very clear and the reality what she is trying to convey.”This song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they’re living a fantasy life. It’s one thing to have goals and dreams but it’s another thing when you never know where you’re standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that.”
”
STOP MAKING PARAMORE (not just paramore, but other artists as well) LOOK LIKE A DEMON OR SATANIC OR SOMETHING!
Yeah, it maybe about Mind Control (according to Vigilant),
but not even a KID WOULD CARE what the meaning of the song is!
Andyeah, they used such symbols to make it look cool and PARAMORE just used those symbols to make it metaphorical to the meaning of the first layer. ANDYEAH, don’t forget CINEMATIC
And f*ck the hell would even think that music artists are a part of the ILLUMINATI.
Like hell guys..
Stop being so ridiculous.
wtaf, this is probably the freakiest shit i’ve ever read. i literally laughed my ass of, please, paramore being a part of illuminati and that freaky mind contorolling shit? someone has been watching too much some wierd movies.
as many people have already said, paramore is a christian band and brand new eyes is a about the hard times and not about Monarch Programming.
and that “One-Eye Symbol”, well, honey, i can tell you, it IS just a coincidence. why don’t you just ask straight from hayley in LJ or in twitter?
