Lyric discussion by Newf17 

This is one of my favorites by Paramore.

In the first verse she sings of how, as a christian, sometimes you go through troubles and sometimes find bad things in a situation that you thought was good and how it seems harder to believe than to just let go and follow your selfish thoughts.

In the chorus She sings of how when we fight against God were just pushing ourselves over a cliff, But as were falling down farther we realise that once we reach the bottom the only way to go is up (In the free fall I will realize i'm better off when I hi the bottom)

In the second verse she says that everyone around her seems to be breaking away from God to try and take shortcuts or "False solutions" to try to get out on top.

In the third verse she sings of how in Gods big plan (Behind the curtain), All the wheels are working but the way that we're living our lives is all wrong because were "working towards a goal that's non-existent" but we believe that its the right way to do it.

The bridge of the song is a little trickier. I think shes saying that it would be so much better if we saw "perfection in our pride" and live as if we were alredy in Heaven therefore "seeing nothing in the light" because it is no better than how were supposed to be living, And if we were able to turn off our spite we would be able to live that way because there would be no more arguments, no more wars, etc...

Very good points, I agree completely
