Figure 8

Figure 8
Drained me dry
Down to the last drop
Pearls before swine
All flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut it off

Yeah, once you get me going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Once you get me going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8
I
Won't miss the feeling
My flimsy spine
Unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak
And once I get going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8
Candle light
Candle light
Burning 'til broad daylight
Candle light
Candle light
Burning at both ends tonight
How could I?
How could I?
If I'm made of thin ice
How could I?
How could I?
You'd be wise if you thought twice

All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure
What remains?
And now I think I'm losing my shape
Not a trace
No end and no beginning, figure 8
La canción 'Figure 8' de Paramore retrata los desafíos emocionales de sentirse agotado y utilizado hasta la última gota. Describe cómo, una vez que comienzas en un camino, es difícil detenerte, perdiendo la noción de cómo poner fin a una situación que drena tus energías....
