A few years ago I was working at a restaurant and was trained by an employee named Jon. He was very nice and always came into work humming or singing. A few times he asked to hang out with me outside of work but I always came up with some excuse as to why I couldn't. A few weeks after I started Jon didn't show up for a day or two. After the third day my manager was going to call him to fire him, but we decided to wait until the next day. When I came into work the following morning we had found out Jon killed himself a few nights before. One of my coworkers knew something was up when he came to work and wasnt singing anymore. I cried the whole way home and listened to this song on repeat. I still blame myself, thinking all I had to do was just hang out with him or listen to him more. This song always makes me think of him. It's been almost 5 years. RIP Jon, you were a misguided ghost. EDIT: Just wanted to add this happened several years ago. I had nothing to do with the reason why he did what he did. His reasons were personal. Also, when this all happened he was 15 in high school and I was 20 in college. I didn't hang out with him outside of work bc I thought that was weird.
it's not fair for you to blame yourself shit happens and people don't just kill themselves there are always many reasons you weren't the one that put him where he was there is no use blaming yourself an it's not even slightly fair you didn't know, you couldn't know in fact that made you think, which means you cared you are someone who cares so then just take it as a lesson to be more of a listener I know it's not easy but you can do it and if you ever want to talk to someone I may be just a stranger, but I'm always glad to help
I'm so sorry Tera. A similar thing happened with a girl I grew up with, and worked with. She killed herself a few years ago... the last time I saw her, we were both laughing so hard we cried, and then I got the news a couple of days later and it completely blindsided me. Grief isn't logical and I have gone through all the "what ifs" but at the end of the day there's nothing we could have done.
this song is one of Paramore's best songs in my opinion and needs more recognition. In fact most of my favourite paramore songs are the underrated ones; misguided ghosts, when it rains, we are broken, stop this song, grow up etc ♥
I'm going away for a while But I'll be back, don't try and follow me Cause I'll return as soon as possible See I'm trying to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes And run From them, from them With no direction We'll run from them, from them With no conviction Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Traveling endlessly Don't need no roads In fact they follow me And we just go in circles Well now I'm told that this is life And pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it Would someone care to classify, Our broken hearts and twisted minds So I can find someone to rely on And run To them, to them Full speed ahead Oh you are not, useless We are just Misguided ghosts Traveling endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away And there's no one road And we should not be the same But I'm just a ghost And still they echo me They echo me in circles
This song spoke to me in ways no one but Paramore will understand. I changed me in a way. I will never forget this song. It is so beautiful. Thank you so much Paramore!
The full lyric is "Well now I'm told that this is life, and pain is just a simple compromise, so we can get what we want out of it". She's been told that this is just life, and pain is a necessary evil if you want to risk loving, caring etc, all the things that make life worth living. The song is melancholy because of this sentiment of loss of innocence and the sense of saudade and loss that comes with it.
I got the courage to listen to this song for the first time in 2 years. This is the song I was listening to when I’d made my 2nd attempt on my life. I remember just singing the first few lines. To anyone here feeling like I was on that gloomy December day, your time is not up. There are many things to be experienced. I had many experiences I won’t ever forget since then and I never have had many people in my life. They were all still beautiful despite me experiencing them all on my own. I am living proof, better things are just up the road. 💙
I remember listening to this song when I was a teenager struggling with depression, I remember feeling the lyrics and crying to them. Now I'm 27, struggling with depression again (always have been, I guess), but here I am listening to this song, feeling the lyrics. It makes me feel a little better, knowing that I've been here before... I actually feel I'm at my lowest right now, I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it. But at least I got to listen to great music man. I will always love Paramore.
Christ cares for you, honestly… you don’t have to feel like you used to… I used to be depressed also but God helped me… I’m hearing this song right now and I remember how I used to feel but now I know there’s hope and a God who loves us
For me, this album will always carry that same feeling of turning the last pages of a book. You know it's ending, it hurts, but at the same you know somehow that the time for new beginnings is approaching. That middle space between the turning of the last page and the back cover of the book is exactly where this album is at. Especially this song.
I've been in and out of depression for 10 years. I never chase my dreams and now, I don't have dreams anymore. I'm just going with the flow. I feel like I'm just a ghost, going nowhere, always chasing the wind. I hope someday, everything will make sense.
Hi, I’m just looking through paramore songs and had saw your comment. I hope that you’re doing ok and have been given help from those around you like, friends, family, co-workers e.t.c. I hope that you could possibly please reply and tell how you’re feeling and I know I’m just a random but I hope that you’re doing ok , Ruan (roo-wun)
This song made me listen to the entire album for the first time. At 23 years of age. I was definitely a misguided ghost before tonight. So glad to have discovered this.
I listened to this song a lot when I got depression 7 years ago, I played it time after time throughout the years. Tomorrow I'm gonna get a tattoo of a lil ghost. I'm not better yet, but I will start a long intense journey of recovery in 2017 and I will get there.
Hey, checking up on you. Are you doing OK? If you want to talk, I'm here so you can vent to me. I'll be here waiting for you. And no, you wont be a burden if you talk to me, I got all the time in the world to listen to you. :)
Im so down right now. I feel like im a misguided ghost. Im listening to this song on repeat since morning. One day, when i get my peace of mind and happiness back, i’ll come back to this comment and i will just remember how i felt while writing this. I know the universe has something in store for me that i’ll never ever feel this kind of emptiness again. And to all the people out there who are going through a lot right now like me, have faith. Everything’s gonna be alright. ❤️ Edit: i remember writing this comment early 2020. That was one of the loneliest and emptiest day of my life. No family and friends around. Just listening to this song and cried til there's nothing to cry anymore. Now, i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. And i can say that he gave me the happiest day of my life. Hang on, my friends. Better days are coming. Thanks for all the likes and comments. ❤❤❤
This song helped 12 year old me get through life. I was a lost, lonely, depressed 12 year old trying to figure life out and why things happen and why we lose people we love. Paramore got me through all my rough patches in life and I'll never lose my love for this band. Thank you Paramore 💗
The finger screech just makes it sound so much more beautiful. It adds that special something to the song and just holds it together. This is an amazing sing I love it so much,I wish we had more sings like these👌👏💖💗
I literally dont understand. Its quite literally acoustic screeching because of lazy/unclean picking because they were inexperienced guitarists. Its what you get when you switch notes too quickly with your fingers still on the fret. Yes I get what you're saying but you honestly just sound fake deep
@@TimTamSlam7it's been 3 years. I hope you're not so bitter about stuff anymore. Remember that mistakes can be beautiful too. Well, maybe not for you tho. 🤷♀️
Change is so so scary. This song really gave me comfort. Things happen and they happen for a reason. Although I’m straying away from what have always been comfortable, I need to know that things will be okay. If I feel that I should switch paths then I totally should. My life is not throughly planned but the end goal is fulfillment and happiness so I need to change things that holds me back from it. The bad things will come back around but I have to push forward and move on. We might not know how to do it and we don’t know what going to happen exactly, but I’m gonna go with my gut. What makes me happy is only known my me.
Recently me and my partner for a year and a half broke up. We lived together, created a life together. In just one moment it all disappeared and crumbled. I currently feel lost, like a misguided ghost. The song means so much to me, it's currently midnight and this song makes me feel less alone in this world. It's my inspiration, it makes me want to find a way out of this dark time. I don't think any music has touched me more than this song and I want to thank Paramore for it because you've honestly made me feel less alone in the world during this dark time.
2 years and 6 months ago we broke up, I still feel like it was a mistake I'll never get over. I agree that this song makes me feel less alone, but at the same time, makes me realize I am definitely that misguided ghost and I'm just travelling endlessly to find the love I had.
Luke Smith I relate so much to this. I too dated someone for a year and a half. He would literally remind me of the future we would have every night. Everything was planned out. Until one night, everything just crashed, and he left me like I meant nothing to him. This happened a month ago, so it’s still a bit fresh on me. It’s like we were never even a thing. This song really helps me get through this situation, like it’s helping you. Heartbreak is never easy, especially when the person you love doesn’t love you anymore. But flowers have to push through the dirt and rocks to see the sun :) maybe it just wasn’t meant to be with that person. keep your head up, there is hope and there is someone out there who will cherish every bit of you.
Luke Smith 8 years of relationship. One day he stopped being the person he was, he never came back. I left, the person I used to love died for me forever. But I am much better right now, when you accept it and let it go all the pain, you will feel happy, believe me.
This song has been haunting me for some reason lately.. I've heard it awhile ago but today it just seems to be around. It's comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time I guess it's just comforting to know that someone else feels this way even if this way is hard to explain exactly. I wanna stay, but I wanna run away, and I don't even wanna feel this way.
This song made me fall in love with Paramore. It just tells us that we are just humans, we get hurt, we get lost.. and it's okay. This song makes me feel that it is okay to feel vulnerable, I feel like what I feel is valid.
This song is so special to me. And from the comments I’m reading, it’s just as meaningful to other people. It’s helped me through the really dark times in my life. I’ve been depressed and suicidal so many times, and when I feel myself start to sink into that fog, I listen to this song. Thank you Paramore. You were there for me when no one else was.
The comments on this video are extraordinary. I feel so moved. I wasn’t expecting that when I came to read the comments. Uhm, I have a story to share, too. It’s nothing important or amazing like the others I see here. It’s small, but I felt that maybe it belongs here. When I was in middle school, in 7th grade (so I was about 12), I did a project in English class that revolved around this song. I don’t remember the details of the assignment, but the focus/theme were independently chosen by me. The teacher had given us some freedom to do what we chose as long as it fulfilled the rubric. Anyway, uhm, I love poetry and music, so I just had to do project with those things weaves into it. I presented it while shaking and praying that no one made fun of me. I have very bad anxiety and depression, both of which really blossomed around that time of my life. Paramore was like... such a huge part of me and my coping. This project was close to my heart and I tried to present it authentically and with as little visible fear as possible. I wanted to do a good job, and I’m very lucky that I did. My teacher was so complimentary. She actually was a bit speechless. The best and most shocking part, to me, was that she asked me to hand her my papers and said she wanted to keep it/hold on to it because she wanted to look it over again, more closely. She really, really liked what I had presented. She actually really, truly seemed impressed and I felt so good. I felt smart. I felt like I wasn’t such a loser. I felt like my pain and hard work in school was being seen. I felt so... honored? It’s honestly hard to explain well and express correctly, but her intrigue and investment in my project for even that small period of time was so meaningful to me. I felt like I wasn’t just writing poems for nothing. Maybe my overthinking and stress and empathy just all flooded together and created something beautiful. I don’t know. I know it’s just a middle school project. I was a kid. I know. I just hold that experience dear because it felt like I had done well. I felt like I did something good enough for once- and maybe even beyond just that! I was vulnerable and took a chance and it seemed to be worth it. She wasn’t my favorite teacher, but she really gave me a moment to remember for a very long time. Thank you, Mrs. Lewis.
I remember the first time I heard this song and I was just laying in bed calm and kind of sad then she said "oh you are not useless we are just misguided ghosts traveling endlessly the ones we trust the most pushed us far away" and those words made me cry and they still do
At 34 weeks gestation, back in August, 3 days before my 20th birthday, I gave birth to a little boy that I did everything I could to try and save him. He was diagnosed with a bladder outlet obstruction that caused his vital organs to shut down. I held his lifeless body on my chest while the only man I've ever loved, who helped me raise my two year old son, stood next to me. That same man, abandoned me and I grieved alone. I had to choose my sons urn and pick him up in it alone. I cant wait until the day I can find someone who truly loves me and i can run to them. This song hits so deep down in me it hurts.
This hurts me to read, I truly hope that if you haven't found someone by now you will, what he did to you was fucked up, I don't believe any human should have to go through what you have, stay strong
Going back to this song as a person in her early 20's, this song speaks all the things that had been going inside of myself. It truly conveys how life could feel like at times. All the worries, burdens, questions, and the feeling that you had nowhere to go, stucked in a loop. Yet it also reminds me that eventually the moments will pass by again and we would get through it somehow.
I used to always sing this song back in 2013 when I was 14, I never understood the meaning behind its lyrics. 5 years later, after I've gained some more experience in life, I totally get the message that Haley is spreading through this wonderful yet short melody.
I listened to this as a good and never really listened to the words....now that I'm older I realize what it means...anyone who's having self-harm issues please...take a minute to really listen to these words and understand...you are worth it...
Listening to this song just make me think about myself younger, crazy about the bands I loved, just like Paramore... and now I think: things won't come back. It's all changing... for worse. I feel like I've gone away for a while, and didn't come back yet. I miss my dreams and miss being young and alive. I love Paramore so much. It made my teenage a little bit better. Thanks Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor, Josh and Zac.
That's the first time I'm listening to this, when the lyric "You are not useless" I froze. I really needed to hear this. Thank you for this beautiful song, Paramore! ❤️
I would play this song everyday when i first started suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts at the age of 11. Here i am today 11 years later still breathing. Keep going. It gets better 💛💛💛
My interpretation of the song: Someone(perhaps Hayley) has a relationship with someone(romantic, family, or friendship) and person b is trying to help person a with their pain or depression. Person a is going through a really tough time but is trying to get through it themselves without person b's help. Hence the first few lines. While going through this rough patch, person a is still trying to figure out who they are as a person, and they're wondering if they're always going to feel the way they do because that's just who they are(hence the line "in trying to find my place, but it might not be here where I feel safe.) The line could also mean that they fear that their place in life is just to be stuck in their head, a place they don't feel safe. The line "we all learn the make mistakes and run from them" is pretty self explanatory. The next line where person a calls themselves "one of those ghosts" could perhaps be referring to them being someone is always struggling, or, as said before, someone who is just never happy. When in the next line they say they "don't need no roads. In fact they follow me" I believe they are using roads as another words for their demons or mental or emotional struggles. In the second verse, person a has perhaps been put down before by someone who didn't care about them and didn't believe their pain and told them that pain and struggle was a part of life they had to get used to if they wanted to succeed. I've never quite understood the "would someone care to classify" line, but it could perhaps mean finding the difference between having a broken heart and hurting emotionally vs struggling with your mental health and seeking help. This leads into the line "so I can find someone to rely on and run to them" meaning person a is perhaps using person b just for support of some kind. The next lines, "you are not useless," and "we are just misguided ghosts" lead me to believe that maybe person b is having trouble emotionally or mentally but is only focusing on person a and their health, but person a wants person b to take care of themselves. The last chorus of the song makes me think that person a has, at this time, hit a low point and fully believes that they'll never be happy. Person a is trying to let go of person b because they believe person b still has a chance and can be happy with thmselves. The line " there's no one road. And we should not be the same" supports this theory. Person a is going down one path and person b is going down another. Person a knows they aren't the same and never will be. The song ends with person a perhaps reminiscing about how they're messed up as a person and will continue to self destruct because that's the cycle that they're stuck in. "I'm just a ghost and still they echo me. They echo me in circles." Whew that was long. I apologize if that was confusing and for the grammer errors. Hope you enjoyed my theory.
I listened to this song on repeat, nonstop throughout high school. I just remembered it and now I’m here crying. Life is so strange sometimes. Never thought then I’d be here now.
Being only 22 I definitely feel like I'm late to the party regarding Paramore, but that's why I'm so grateful the music they've made is timeless. This song is beautiful.
me! i feel really empty and lost right now and i listen to this song everytime i feel like this, since i was 12. everything's gonna be okay, but right now things are really hard for everybody :(
I’ve come back to this song every once in a while and it just makes me remember people I miss, it doesn’t matter whether they’re alive or not. I just miss them and want to see them again.
They don't usually write slow songs, but when they do, it can always dig up your feelings...
N Lin I could say they are a big part of my heart

You know nothing, Jon
it's not fair for you to blame yourself
shit happens
and people don't just kill themselves
there are always many reasons
you weren't the one that put him where he was
there is no use blaming yourself
an it's not even slightly fair
you didn't know, you couldn't know
in fact
that made you think, which means you cared
you are someone who cares
so then
just take it as a lesson
to be more of a listener
I know it's not easy
but you can do it
and if you ever want to talk to someone
I may be just a stranger, but I'm always glad to help
I'm so sorry Tera. A similar thing happened with a girl I grew up with, and worked with.

You weren't to know. His singing and humming was probably just covering hurt he already had. I do same with daft jokes
im so sorry hearing this dear. :(
Paramore's most underrated song.
Yet, the most meaningful one
+fleurdiorra are you kidding?
it's my favorite too. This song got me through high school.
Damo didn't know Madara had such great taste in music
people say that about literally every paramore song LMAOOJSJS
Believe it or not this was their most emotional album
it's not that hard to believe
that's true
now you should listen to after laughter, because it´s pretty emotional too
Well, actually is After Laughter.
Nah I'd say after laughter is there most emotional album. My opinion tho🤷♂️
you are not useless, we are just misguided ghosts traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
+Emmanuel AL we should no be the same...
This line saved my life.
i cannot stop listening to this song.my dance class has made a dance to it aswell
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
Brand new eyes is just their best album
riot
all we know is falling!!!111111!!!111
nah kidding. they're all really good
all of them.
i can't decide just one, for real
this song is one of Paramore's best songs in my opinion and needs more recognition. In fact most of my favourite paramore songs are the underrated ones; misguided ghosts, when it rains, we are broken, stop this song, grow up etc ♥
ify
True.In misguided ghosts you can really hear Josh style.Beautiful lyrics with beatufil guitar sound.
I feel like I just find a new bunch of (Real) friend hahaha those are the best of paramore
Fer realsies, er um... I mean Fer feelsies.
And Franklin
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run
From them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction
Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles
Well now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Our broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not, useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
And we should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles

If you want to talk, I'm here so you can vent to me. I'll be here waiting for you. And no, you wont be a burden if you talk to me, I got all the time in the world to listen to you. :)
Hei, how are you? I wanna know about ur win after this fight. Would u share?
Hi. I hope you are better now!
Im so down right now. I feel like im a misguided ghost. Im listening to this song on repeat since morning. One day, when i get my peace of mind and happiness back, i’ll come back to this comment and i will just remember how i felt while writing this. I know the universe has something in store for me that i’ll never ever feel this kind of emptiness again. And to all the people out there who are going through a lot right now like me, have faith. Everything’s gonna be alright. ❤️
Edit: i remember writing this comment early 2020. That was one of the loneliest and emptiest day of my life. No family and friends around. Just listening to this song and cried til there's nothing to cry anymore.
Now, i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. And i can say that he gave me the happiest day of my life. Hang on, my friends. Better days are coming. Thanks for all the likes and comments. ❤❤❤
Beautiful soul, you will have that peace. 💖
I hope you are doing better.
I hope you feel better Jen ♡
Awww❤
Awww 🥰 congratulations! I’m so happy you came back and posted an update 🙏🏼
One of my fav songs from Paramore, so chill.
This song helped 12 year old me get through life. I was a lost, lonely, depressed 12 year old trying to figure life out and why things happen and why we lose people we love. Paramore got me through all my rough patches in life and I'll never lose my love for this band. Thank you Paramore 💗
The finger screech just makes it sound so much more beautiful. It adds that special something to the song and just holds it together. This is an amazing sing I love it so much,I wish we had more sings like these👌👏💖💗
Ikr?
it emphasises the rawness and emotion in the song. i love them too.
ITS. A. MISTAKE. ITS NOT POETIC
I literally dont understand. Its quite literally acoustic screeching because of lazy/unclean picking because they were inexperienced guitarists. Its what you get when you switch notes too quickly with your fingers still on the fret. Yes I get what you're saying but you honestly just sound fake deep
@@TimTamSlam7it's been 3 years. I hope you're not so bitter about stuff anymore. Remember that mistakes can be beautiful too. Well, maybe not for you tho. 🤷♀️
Change is so so scary. This song really gave me comfort. Things happen and they happen for a reason. Although I’m straying away from what have always been comfortable, I need to know that things will be okay. If I feel that I should switch paths then I totally should. My life is not throughly planned but the end goal is fulfillment and happiness so I need to change things that holds me back from it. The bad things will come back around but I have to push forward and move on. We might not know how to do it and we don’t know what going to happen exactly, but I’m gonna go with my gut. What makes me happy is only known my me.
Recently me and my partner for a year and a half broke up. We lived together, created a life together. In just one moment it all disappeared and crumbled. I currently feel lost, like a misguided ghost. The song means so much to me, it's currently midnight and this song makes me feel less alone in this world. It's my inspiration, it makes me want to find a way out of this dark time. I don't think any music has touched me more than this song and I want to thank Paramore for it because you've honestly made me feel less alone in the world during this dark time.
2 years and 6 months ago we broke up, I still feel like it was a mistake I'll never get over. I agree that this song makes me feel less alone, but at the same time, makes me realize I am definitely that misguided ghost and I'm just travelling endlessly to find the love I had.
Luke Smith I relate so much to this. I too dated someone for a year and a half. He would literally remind me of the future we would have every night. Everything was planned out. Until one night, everything just crashed, and he left me like I meant nothing to him. This happened a month ago, so it’s still a bit fresh on me. It’s like we were never even a thing. This song really helps me get through this situation, like it’s helping you. Heartbreak is never easy, especially when the person you love doesn’t love you anymore. But flowers have to push through the dirt and rocks to see the sun :) maybe it just wasn’t meant to be with that person. keep your head up, there is hope and there is someone out there who will cherish every bit of you.
Luke Smith 8 years of relationship. One day he stopped being the person he was, he never came back. I left, the person I used to love died for me forever. But I am much better right now, when you accept it and let it go all the pain, you will feel happy, believe me.
This song has been haunting me for some reason lately.. I've heard it awhile ago but today it just seems to be around. It's comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time I guess it's just comforting to know that someone else feels this way even if this way is hard to explain exactly. I wanna stay, but I wanna run away, and I don't even wanna feel this way.
This song made me fall in love with Paramore. It just tells us that we are just humans, we get hurt, we get lost.. and it's okay. This song makes me feel that it is okay to feel vulnerable, I feel like what I feel is valid.
This song is so special to me. And from the comments I’m reading, it’s just as meaningful to other people. It’s helped me through the really dark times in my life. I’ve been depressed and suicidal so many times, and when I feel myself start to sink into that fog, I listen to this song. Thank you Paramore. You were there for me when no one else was.
i wish i could favorite this comment... oh well... i agree though, more than you know
This song is really pretty. I relate to it. I’ve been through a lot in my life
this song has helped me during the times i no longer wanted to exist. thank you, Paramore.
The comments on this video are extraordinary. I feel so moved. I wasn’t expecting that when I came to read the comments. Uhm, I have a story to share, too. It’s nothing important or amazing like the others I see here. It’s small, but I felt that maybe it belongs here. When I was in middle school, in 7th grade (so I was about 12), I did a project in English class that revolved around this song. I don’t remember the details of the assignment, but the focus/theme were independently chosen by me. The teacher had given us some freedom to do what we chose as long as it fulfilled the rubric. Anyway, uhm, I love poetry and music, so I just had to do project with those things weaves into it. I presented it while shaking and praying that no one made fun of me. I have very bad anxiety and depression, both of which really blossomed around that time of my life. Paramore was like... such a huge part of me and my coping. This project was close to my heart and I tried to present it authentically and with as little visible fear as possible. I wanted to do a good job, and I’m very lucky that I did. My teacher was so complimentary. She actually was a bit speechless. The best and most shocking part, to me, was that she asked me to hand her my papers and said she wanted to keep it/hold on to it because she wanted to look it over again, more closely. She really, really liked what I had presented. She actually really, truly seemed impressed and I felt so good. I felt smart. I felt like I wasn’t such a loser. I felt like my pain and hard work in school was being seen. I felt so... honored? It’s honestly hard to explain well and express correctly, but her intrigue and investment in my project for even that small period of time was so meaningful to me. I felt like I wasn’t just writing poems for nothing. Maybe my overthinking and stress and empathy just all flooded together and created something beautiful. I don’t know. I know it’s just a middle school project. I was a kid. I know. I just hold that experience dear because it felt like I had done well. I felt like I did something good enough for once- and maybe even beyond just that! I was vulnerable and took a chance and it seemed to be worth it. She wasn’t my favorite teacher, but she really gave me a moment to remember for a very long time. Thank you, Mrs. Lewis.
That..is such a beautiful,heart touching story. I loved reading it. Thank you for sharing
Jessica Paavani Thank you so much. That means a lot.
Glad I could make someone happy
I remember the first time I heard this song and I was just laying in bed calm and kind of sad then she said "oh you are not useless we are just misguided ghosts traveling endlessly the ones we trust the most pushed us far away" and those words made me cry and they still do
i die its so gewd.
omg how did I run into you here
Howsenselessdeath Howpreciouslife you're on of my fave youtubers

Howsenselessdeath Howpreciouslife me tu
MegaCharizard XY uh huh i9
Aw man, this song...♥
The good old days of Paramore.
amazing band
They’re still good
@@mattryan464 yes they are but to much different for me now :/
My favourite paramore song
This song lowkey just hits different
At 34 weeks gestation, back in August, 3 days before my 20th birthday, I gave birth to a little boy that I did everything I could to try and save him. He was diagnosed with a bladder outlet obstruction that caused his vital organs to shut down. I held his lifeless body on my chest while the only man I've ever loved, who helped me raise my two year old son, stood next to me. That same man, abandoned me and I grieved alone. I had to choose my sons urn and pick him up in it alone. I cant wait until the day I can find someone who truly loves me and i can run to them. This song hits so deep down in me it hurts.
I don't know what to tell you except that you're not alone ❤️
This hurts me to read, I truly hope that if you haven't found someone by now you will, what he did to you was fucked up, I don't believe any human should have to go through what you have, stay strong
Why is this not at a billion views in 2024
Going back to this song as a person in her early 20's, this song speaks all the things that had been going inside of myself. It truly conveys how life could feel like at times. All the worries, burdens, questions, and the feeling that you had nowhere to go, stucked in a loop. Yet it also reminds me that eventually the moments will pass by again and we would get through it somehow.
"The ones we trusted the most pushed us far away"
This song means the world to me, it's be there when I've been alone and a perfect friend to my thoughts.
Just love her soft voice.
I miss you momma... I hope you found your home.

@@eeyoshawty xD tHaNkKKKSSsS
Thank you..you too..
the amount of nostalgia it provokes in me
I FEEL THIS IN MY BONES
Definitely my favorite paramore song.
I was 14 when I first listened to this song and I thought it was cute, but now at 26 it hits harder than ever. Now i understand.
I love this song so much
I always comes back here, when i feel so stressed. Thanks Paramore
Best paramore album without question. Josh and zach were the cornerstone of the band
They were man. They were.
at least one of them is back
Not their best album R!ot or even All we know is falling is easily better than this.
I didn't like self-titled in comparison to brand new eyes, but After Laughter is amazing, easily my favorite
Julian Gray Media amen
Most underrated song in America. I’ve been listening to this song for years.
There is so much love and feeling in these comments... I love and feel them all. Here's to hoping we all find our way
Rachel Pascua Miley Cyrus is so much better
😍
i built a damn playlist over this song. the vibe is so melancholy i hate/love it so much because it never fails to overwhelm me
This song still speaks volumes in 2020, forever helping me on my hardest days. Miss this version of Paramore♥️
Uncanny how this song spoke directly to me and applied to everything that was going on in my life. "We should not be the same."
I used to always sing this song back in 2013 when I was 14, I never understood the meaning behind its lyrics. 5 years later, after I've gained some more experience in life, I totally get the message that Haley is spreading through this wonderful yet short melody.
Definitely one of my fave Paramore songs and maybe even one of my fave songs of all time. So many memories. I’m so much happier now
I listened to this as a good and never really listened to the words....now that I'm older I realize what it means...anyone who's having self-harm issues please...take a minute to really listen to these words and understand...you are worth it...
Listening to this song just make me think about myself younger, crazy about the bands I loved, just like Paramore... and now I think: things won't come back. It's all changing... for worse. I feel like I've gone away for a while, and didn't come back yet. I miss my dreams and miss being young and alive. I love Paramore so much. It made my teenage a little bit better. Thanks Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor, Josh and Zac.
can i just say how much i need the "you are not useless" part whenever i listen to this song, please and thank
This song plays in my head at least once each day, this band has kept me going and I can only wish them the bast. Thank you from my childhood.
I know I'm late but it really shows how good Paramore's songs are. Timeless masterpiece ❤
I always listen to this song whenever I feel hopeless and lost in life
This song literally explains my feelings in a way I cannot! Sadness all the time
That's the first time I'm listening to this, when the lyric "You are not useless" I froze. I really needed to hear this. Thank you for this beautiful song, Paramore! ❤️
*One of my most fav Paramore songs* ♥
I would play this song everyday when i first started suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts at the age of 11. Here i am today 11 years later still breathing. Keep going. It gets better 💛💛💛
My interpretation of the song:
Someone(perhaps Hayley) has a relationship with someone(romantic, family, or friendship) and person b is trying to help person a with their pain or depression. Person a is going through a really tough time but is trying to get through it themselves without person b's help. Hence the first few lines. While going through this rough patch, person a is still trying to figure out who they are as a person, and they're wondering if they're always going to feel the way they do because that's just who they are(hence the line "in trying to find my place, but it might not be here where I feel safe.) The line could also mean that they fear that their place in life is just to be stuck in their head, a place they don't feel safe. The line "we all learn the make mistakes and run from them" is pretty self explanatory. The next line where person a calls themselves "one of those ghosts" could perhaps be referring to them being someone is always struggling, or, as said before, someone who is just never happy. When in the next line they say they "don't need no roads. In fact they follow me" I believe they are using roads as another words for their demons or mental or emotional struggles. In the second verse, person a has perhaps been put down before by someone who didn't care about them and didn't believe their pain and told them that pain and struggle was a part of life they had to get used to if they wanted to succeed. I've never quite understood the "would someone care to classify" line, but it could perhaps mean finding the difference between having a broken heart and hurting emotionally vs struggling with your mental health and seeking help. This leads into the line "so I can find someone to rely on and run to them" meaning person a is perhaps using person b just for support of some kind. The next lines, "you are not useless," and "we are just misguided ghosts" lead me to believe that maybe person b is having trouble emotionally or mentally but is only focusing on person a and their health, but person a wants person b to take care of themselves. The last chorus of the song makes me think that person a has, at this time, hit a low point and fully believes that they'll never be happy. Person a is trying to let go of person b because they believe person b still has a chance and can be happy with thmselves. The line " there's no one road. And we should not be the same" supports this theory. Person a is going down one path and person b is going down another. Person a knows they aren't the same and never will be. The song ends with person a perhaps reminiscing about how they're messed up as a person and will continue to self destruct because that's the cycle that they're stuck in. "I'm just a ghost and still they echo me. They echo me in circles."
Whew that was long. I apologize if that was confusing and for the grammer errors. Hope you enjoyed my theory.
Amazing. Thank you so much
this song reminds us that we are humans, and always hurting.
This song got me through my teenage years traumatic experiences, bless
Honestly my favorite song from the album
One of the best songs by Paramore
I listened to this song on repeat, nonstop throughout high school. I just remembered it and now I’m here crying. Life is so strange sometimes. Never thought then I’d be here now.
Another great song with such a deep meaning.
Best underrated song ever! Give me chills every time!
I woke up to this song and I can honestly say that this song made a huge impact on me in that moment
Being only 22 I definitely feel like I'm late to the party regarding Paramore, but that's why I'm so grateful the music they've made is timeless. This song is beautiful.
Probably my favorite song out of all.
Why is she so perfect omg....... I can't
Is anyone else crying to this song during quarantine? It’s been meaning a lot more to me now than it ever has and I’m grateful for it so much
me! i feel really empty and lost right now and i listen to this song everytime i feel like this, since i was 12. everything's gonna be okay, but right now things are really hard for everybody :(
This song is so underrated and so calmly played on acoustic guitar 🎸😊
it's just a sad song, but makes you understand life
This has been my song whenever I need to relax for the last 9 years. Such a great song.
this is my fav of all times
Really love this song. For the days of my whole life.
This song is amazing, but i wish they would get a video for it
if they did make one it would pull the crap out of the heart strings
It'd be hard to make a video for, it's a beautiful song though
Agree!
This song reminds me of my ex, I just want to get over her so badly
stephany Gomez same
I’ve come back to this song every once in a while and it just makes me remember people I miss, it doesn’t matter whether they’re alive or not. I just miss them and want to see them again.
This song has saved my life so many times.
This song is amazing for you if you recently lost someone. Or, if you're just lost with life and don't really know your purpose
