"Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman."

-Idle Worship, Paramore

I wanted to include items that are connected to Hayley, a rabbit for Taylor, teacups for Hayley's tea rituals, a dog toy for Alf. It's a place of meditation in a way. Parts of a past coming together on a music stand similar to a pedestal. Chairs and ladders to provide a way back down.

i think whats so crazy about idle worship (and no friend) is that there are tons of hardcore pmore fans who CLEARLY didn’t get the meaning of the song

Idle Worship just makes me so crazy because she's insisting she can't save anyone! She's fighting so hard against the idolisation as a musician she's so set on people not turning to her for salvation but! At the same time! She's constantly trying to reassure the listener! You're not as alone as you feel! We could let the light illuminate these hopeless places! She wants to help these people but she knows primarily that if they put their trust in her it will be broken because she's just another girl and so really part of the reason why she doesn't want to be a saviour is BECAUSE of how badly she's trying to save people!!!

Some Thoughts on "Are You Happy In Paris"

I've been working on this song for so long, I feel the need to talk about it.

Towards the end of 2021, I wrote this song. "Are You Happy In Paris?" I was really proud of the lyrics and the tune and everything. But when I went to produce it, I struggled a lot. I wanted it to have this big, angry, electric sound. Because, at its core, AYHIP is a very angry song. However, I couldn't get it to sound right at the level of producing skill I was at back then. And I couldn't get the vocals to sound right either. I worked on it for months before giving up and throwing in the towel.

A few months later, I decided to start all over. I am a big fan of Halsey. On her debut EP, they have a song called "Trouble." It's a very emotional song with this beautiful piano to accompany the vocals. Halsey said that they also really struggled with the production of the song and that the version that ended up on the EP was actually the demo version. Which is why it's called "Trouble - Stripped" even though there is no "un-stripped" version.

I tried to make a "stripped" version of AYHIP. And I thought it sounded much better. The only problem was, it had lost so much of that angry sound to it that I felt even the lyrics felt like they had a different meaning. I'm not sure how to explain this, but for example, this was how the bridge original sounded:

Compared to the bridge in the "stripped" version:

When Solaria is practically screaming the lyrics, it sounds more bitter. And the lines like "do you really think you'll find somebody who loves you like I do?" are more clearly shown to be a toxic statement. However, in the stripped back version, the lines are trapped in this self pitying victim complex that makes it seem as though the narrator is unaware of her own part to play the end of this relationship.

That's what bothers me most about the song. It feels like a pity fest. Which is fine. I know lots of people have felt the same way after a relationship ends. And that's how I felt when the relationship I wrote this song about ended. But in the original, there was meant to at least be some level of self awareness. The answer of "why did this person leave me" is evident in the lyrics, from acting as though the narrator is entitled this relationship because of everything they did for the friend to accusing the friend of be like her mother who she clearly hates.

For this reason, I didn't do anything with the song for a while, even after making the stripped version. But, as I listened to it more, I thought that perhaps it was fine the way it was. Because there is another story being told with this slower, more emotional take. A story of someone who so deeply cared for their friend and was terrified of them leaving that when that friend did leave, they were so blindsided that they couldn't see their own fault in the depression that they were left in. All they could focus on was "how could you leave me?" That makes the ending more healing in my opinion. Because once the narrator realizes that all they truly want is for their friend to be happy, they can move on and learn from their mistakes. I don't know, it's something to think about.

But that's only my own take. I like it when people take their own meanings from my songs. It doesn't have to mean just "one thing." If you have your own take of the song, that's fine too. This is how I personally view it.

In any case, I decided to put this track on the Deluxe version of Idle Worship because I just want to be done with it. I think of it as a prequel to "I Know You're In Town," although from that perspective one must assume that the epiphany the narrator had in AYHIP did not stick as they are still clearly angry at this friend. But that's human nature, isn't it?

If you're read this whole thing, thank you for taking the time to listen to my thoughts! I've got a bunch more music I'm working on. I hope you like the new tracks on Idle Worship. Thanks again for reading.

Remember when we used to like ourselves? What little light that’s left, we need to keep it sacred. I know that you’re afraid to let all the dark escape ya, but we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places.

When Taylor Swift said “Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart” + “You should find another guiding light but I shine so bright” and when Hayley Williams said “Be sure to put your faith in something more. I'm just a girl” and when Eminem said “I’m not here to save the fuckin’ children” and when Dallas Lovato said “[Demi had] to be this icon, this role model that [they] never claimed to want to be in the first place”.
