Googlade precis runt lite, Paramore relaterat ofc, och hittade detta (texten är jättelång men jag sammanfattade det längre ner):
there is something that has been on my mind for a while, now, pertaining
the song, "Misery Business". i haven't really known what to say about
it or how to say it... but honestly, after talking to the guys about it,
we feel like what's important is that we try. (whether it sounds "cool"
or not). it might get a little personal but here goes nothing.
(in a week or so, i'm going to take this next paragraph down... so read up while you can, if you like details).
"Misery Business", like we've explained before in interviews - and
even in past LJ posts - is a true story. the song was written at a time
in my life that i felt very bitter towards a girl, who i still haven't
forgiven, for a lot of things that she did a few years ago. until this
person came into mine and my friend's lives, i had no idea what power
someone could have over another. i watched her use sex to manipulate one
of my friends, in particular, to the point that none of us - in our
little circle of friends - recognized him. he went from being someone so
innocent and joyful to becoming someone who was shut off from
everything. needless to say, it hurt. not only because he was a close
friend but because i felt that i was in love with him. (i know, you
can't be in love when you're this young.. right? whatever). either
way... the pain that i felt, i decided to hold inside. i thought that if
people knew how hurt, angry and bitter i'd become, they'd think i was a
bad - or worse, a weak - person because of it. (now, to keep this from
getting any longer or any more personal, i'll finish this part of the
story by saying... he eventually decided that the relationship had
nothing to do with love and after that discovered that our friendship
was becoming something different. we sorta fought it for a while because
we figured it wasn't smart to start dating so young, especially after
what all had happened, but fighting it just made it harder and the next
thing i knew, we were an item. (no one uses that term anymore,
really...)
i can remember exactly where i was and what
everything looked like around me when i was writing the lyrics. i forced
myself to relive some of the very vivid memories that i have of the
times he dated her. i don't think anyone can understand how awkwardly
dark those times were at such a young age. but i do. to finally explain
my side of the story and feel freed of it all... well, i was so angry
and so happy at the same time. every word i wrote was like a thousand
weights lifted off my shoulders. no more burden. what i didn't realize,
as i wrote some of those lines, was that while i was escaping one
burden, i was also giving myself another.
"but god does it
feel so good... to steal it all away from you now. and if you could then
you know you would. cause god it just feels so... it just feels so
good."
i'm ashamed to say that, although i'm a believer in
Jesus Christ and i claim him as my God, when i wrote those lyrics i
wasn't addressing him. i was using his name casually. in vain, to be
blunt. if you know much about the Christian religion (which i'm not too
fond of addressing my faith as), you'll probably know that one of the
ten commandments is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God
in vain"... it goes on to say, "...for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless who takes his name in vain." As a believer in Christ, that
last part scares the hell out of me. i don't want to be held accountable
for being the cause of so many people using his name in vain. you don't
have to believe in what i believe and no one in Paramore is ever going
to go around forcing our faith into people's lives... but believer or
not, i might have led some of ya'll to believe that i take my saviour
lightly. and i don't.
God brought me through everything that
i say in "Misery Business". i believe that i am a stronger person
because those things happened in my life. through that situation, i
learned so much. when i sing that song now, i'm not the same person i
was when i wrote it. when i sing those lines that i used to sing in
vain, i mean them in a different way. i don't want to opportunity to be
held responsible for causing a lot of people to use my God's name in
vain. so, whether or you not you believe in Christ. whether or not you
care if it means something when you say God. just know that as for me,
when I am singing those lines, i'm telling God that it feels good to
stand up for myself and be victorious after long months of confusion and
pain. i don't hurt the same way anymore.
sorry this was so
long winded. i know we don't usually speak out about our faith. mostly,
because our faith is personal to us. but i really felt like i needed to
say something, before it was too late. thanks for reading.
the guys aren't responsible for whatever mess this post could possibly get us into,

Eftersom texten är så lång så förminskade jag den så mycket jag kan, men om du inte kan läsa så kan du kopiera och klistra in någon annanstans och förstora texten.
Och om du inte orkar läsa eller inte fattar, Hayley Williams (sångare i Paramore) erkänner i princip att Misery Business handlar om Josh och så pratar hon lite om hennes religion och stuff.
Hon har tagit bort det här inlägget för länge sedan.
