La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.
Paramore es un grupo de rock alternativo procedente de Franklin, Tennessee formado en 2004, ya que anteriormente el grupo estaba formado por Hayley y Jeremy y se llamaba The Factory. Influenciados por Jimmy Eat World y Sunny Day Real Estate, está formado por Hayley Williams (vocalista, pianista y guitarrista), y Taylor York (guitarra rítmica)
El dueño de la discográfica Fueled by Ramen los contrató tras verlos actuar. Aunque la edad media de los integrantes del grupo no superaba los 20 años, han cosechado un gran éxito.
I settled down, a twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well you would've never known
I had it all, but not what I wanted
'Cause hope, for me, was a place uncharted and overgrown
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this: You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more
Open your eyes like I opened mine
It's only the real world, a life you will never know
Shifting your weight to throw off the pain
Well, you can ignore it, but only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this: You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more
