Lyrics for Conspiracy as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Conspiracy Lyrics
Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up, dear, cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

Where can I turn?
Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone
Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
Will you be there to help me through?

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

WOAH, I can't believe there's only like one comment for this song....
Well to me, it seems like she's not sure of what she's supposed to be thinking about in general because poeple have lied to her.
"Please speak softly,or they will hear us,and they'll find out,why we don't trust them"
She doesn't know who to believe anymore. and she is confused
"I need to know, why we don't trust them"
She feels like everything is piling up and like when did she become like this, doubtful and when she realised that she really doesn't actually know what's true anymore.
"Explain to me,this conspiracy against me, yeahAnd tell me how,I lost my power, oh yeah"

She wants answers for what has happened to her and she wants to know when things started to go wrong, whilst she thoguht that there was someone there to help her, a lover that maybe promised her that he would be ther for her no matter what happened between them, and that he'd help her with what she was feeling. She wants to know why maybe he is the one that lied to her.
Meh, probably doesn't make sense, but this song really is beautiful

This song says a lot to me. I promised to keep this secret, but at the same time I'm not even sure what secret I am keeping.


Please speak softly
for they will hear us
and they'll find out
why we don't trust them

Don't say anything too loudly or say too much because the people you don't want to know might hear you.

Speak up dear
'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
why we don't trust them

At the same time, speak a little louder/clearer so at least I know what is going on. I need to know why they can't know this secret.

Explain to me
this conspiracy against me, yeah
And tell me how
I lost my power, oh yeah

When the hell did I become responsible for all of this? It's overwhelming, and I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I have no power because I promised to keep this secret, yet at the same time, telling this secret might be the only way to fix some things.

Where can I turn
'cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertianty
I'm so unsure of...
Tell me why I feel so alone
'cause I need to know
to whom do I owe

I am so confused as to what to do. Whom do I have a loyalty to? This family? Or one of my best friends? I don't know which person deserves to know.

I thought
you would make it
because you said
that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
you'd be there
to help me through

And this is where it hits home. The son (whom was also one of my best friends) passed away. He's the person I originally promised to keep the secret for. And in return, he promised he'd always be there for me because he knew how hard it was to keep the secret. But now he's not here, and it's even harder.

I actually think this is one song where everything starts to go wrong for her, then she just... I dunno... I just know I could relate to this song.

One time, all ten of my friends somehow got into trouble with the school, and when I was asked to tell them (the school's administration) what really happened, I did tell them the truth from my point of view. However, to my "friends" they think I'm lying.

I'm not sure how I could elaborate more...

but I think this song fits for a runaway hahahaha! >_

Okay, I could be totally wrong, but I got something totally different out of this song.

Please speak softly
or they will hear us
and they'll find out
why we don't trust them
Speak up dear
'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
why we don't trust them

I think this is supposed to be 2 people talking. The first one is the one saying everyone be quiet, and then the 2nd one is the one they were talking about.
Now, the members of Paramore are Christians, so I was thinking she was saying it was some people who didnt like them cause of that.

Explain to me
this conspiracy against me, yeah
And tell me how
I lost my power, oh yeah

And here she's talking about how Christians arent as influential as they once were.

Where can I turn
'cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertianty
I'm so unsure of...
Tell me why I feel so alone
'cause I need to know
to whom do I owe

Here, because of all the stuff that people are saying, she's wondering if she's following the right path.

I thought
you would make it
because you said
that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
you'd be there
to help me through

Could be some more doubting herself and her faith here, I dunno. But anyway, this could be totally off, just my take on it.

i think the 1st 2 lines represent that she doesnt want ne1 2 hear them yet she wants 2 hear wat the person has 2 say...in a way it culd b metaphorically showing that she doesnt know wat she wants.
this is one of my favourite songs by paramore and i think the song is beautiful.
i can relate to their music and this song shows how you can loose your trust in someone or something and duno wat to do anymore.

I love this song. I thought it's about gossip and cliques..

Like, in the first verse. People hate and gossip about other people, but at the same time, don't fully know why.

Idn. My interpretation.

this is my favorite song from All We Know Is Falling..I think you all got it basically and I'd just like to add that it's called Franklin because that's their hometown..Stupid little fact, but it's helpful in interperting the song.

I see this song in wo different ways. The first being a typical relationship. FIRST VERSE: They don't trust anyone but each other, but, one wants the other one to show her why he is better than the rest. CHORUS: She feels that he is hiding something, a lack of communication, and it's making her feel unwanted. SECOND VERSE: She is feeling alone because she doesn't feel her partner is into her. She's losing faith in everything she once had faith in. She is starting to blame it on herself. BRIDGE/3rd VERSE: She thought their relationship would carry through the thick and thin..but, he lied and left her.

Second Interpretation, Suicide/depression
FIRST VERSE: She wont let anyone in on her problems except for one person, and also wonders why no body understands them. CHORUS: they don't know to beat the depression, they always feels week and useless, and one person is keeping the other alive a vice versa. SECOND VERSE: Their talking suicide, feeling detached from the world, wondering why there is no one else around..and then wondering if people tried to help but didn't let them in. BRIDGE/3RD VERSE: The only person keeping her alive commited suicide, all the trouble they went through helping each other out wasn't real. She is all alone now

Well, thats what I feel about this song...It's my favorite by them.

i think its about how shes searching for friends
she has noone to talk to

Where can I turn?
Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone

and the friedns she does have have turned againt her thus the conspiracy

This is my favorite song from All We Know Is Falling. It has so much meaning. The definition of Conspiracy is: "secret planning with others to do something unlawful or wrong." So she is asking for them to explain the conspiracy against her.

to me it seems like everything just started to go wrong for her all at once (probably all her friends turning on her or something involving a lot of people in her life), but she knows that things aren't REALLY as bad as she's making them in her head or that a lot of worse stuff could happen.

It seems like the speak softly/speak up thing is like her arguing with herself because part of her wants to feel sorry for herself but then the other part is like "dude, it's not that serious. your life is not that bad."

This song explains so many emotions that have been lost for so long, buried deep inside me, just returning when I hear this song. This is the song that I have yearned to write ever since I started writing. It's impossible to explain the feelings that come along with it. All I can say is that I feel like this sometimes, lost in the world of a public school.

My favorite Paramore song lyrically. Peace.

i also think its two people
her-"Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them"


lover?/friend-"Speak up, dear, cause I cannot hear you I need to know why we don't trust them"

but it also kinda sounds like she was counting on the second person to know what she was talking about. but they don't and so she's like OMG your one of THEM.


sounds like she did something to make herself a social outcast but she doesnt know what she did

"Cause I need to know to whom do I owe"


she thought she was in. she thought everone liked her and it was all good. but sudenly things aren't so clear or secure for her

"Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power "

i think that she's trying to tell someone something possibly whispering because she say's...
" please speak softly for they will hear us and they'll find out why we don't trust them"

maybe a lover/close friend..is the only one who she feels she can tell this to cause she may not have trust in the others.
as the 2nd reply's ...
"speak up dear cause i cannot hear you, and i need to know why we don't trust them"

but then this person is sayin speak up dear..maybe blatently for them (the others) to hear cause somehow she hears why we don't trust them"

the chorus..
(Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power)

she want's to know what this conspiracy against her is...suggesting the person she is speaking with maybe knows, friends may have jelousy upon her or some other kind of unloyalty. but by her saying and tell me how iv'e lost my power, sort of gets us to think that she is losing maybe her self esteem and confidence beacuse of people havin some kind of secret about her but at the same time she's trying to whisper a secret to someone else.

the second verse...tells us about her feeling lonely asking where can she turn and that she's surrounded by uncertainty, possibly friends she has know lost over something probably stupid and if her friends are going to dump her like this she's unsure of other people.
then we see how she is asking this one person if they are going to be their for her to help her..

my opinion x

great song by an awsum band my heart goes out to them
