She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2
Ba da ba da ba
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2
woah woah
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2
Ba da ba da ba...

Review about Brick By Boring Brick What does it mean? | Reviewer: Bob | 10/31/09
Seems to be a story about a girl being betrayed and learning to defend herself. The story appears to start in verse 3 and verse 1 is more of a summary of the whole song. She's ripping butterflies wings etc may be a reference to the fragility of innocence and the anger directed at herself after being betrayed, possibly in a sexual realtionship ( since the reference to the wolf, which is traditionally a male sexual image). However the metaphor is mixed in some ways: the wolf of red riding hood would match the betrayal, but them there is the prince of cinderalla, the moment when her dreams should have come true, the clock struck twelve and see saw the situation clearly instead. Then the image of the wolf changes again, it's added to the 3 little pigs wolf now and joins the story of building a house brick by boring brick. As the story goes the brick house was unable to be brought down the by huffing and puffing, which couls mean the "sweet nothings" of a young romance or even the huffing and puffing of a sexual relationship. So the girl learns, tears the last pieces of fragility away to protect herself and begins to build a stronger mental defence against he betrayals of the world - brick by boring brick - since she clearly isn't enjoying the experience.
Paramore has done it again. I swear, this is the best band ever. I mean.. Hayley's voice is just beautiful. This and All I Wanted are my favorites from Brand New Eyes. She does wonderful in All I Wanted. But this song is the best! Keep up the good work guys!
My fave. | Reviewer: Marquita | 10/5/09
Brand New Eyes is definitely a different album.
At first I thought it would be similar to All We Know is Falling, but I was wrong. You can just tell how much the members have matured as a band, lyrically and musically. Great album.
Brick By Boring Brick is my fave so far from BNE.
Awesome song, so much energy.
