I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
There are people looking through
The window in the door, and they know exactly what we're here for.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that your dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.
If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, seprate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile.
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.
Yeah, oh oh open wide,
'Cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.

Review about Fences Paramore Is Amazing!! | Reviewer: Tia | 7/13/09
I think this song is amazing..yes I agree with the others that said the song is about fame. Most famous people like to put up restrictions to the life. Like so does every one else so this song can be directed to many others too not just famous people

Big White Walls... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/26/09
I think that this song is compairing being in an asylum to being famus. I can see it bolth ways, which is what makes me beleive it is compairing the two. For the assylum part,
I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
There are people looking through
The win the window, and they know exactly what we're here for.
Because this is like being in solitary confinment, everyone knows why your there, and they watch you.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
This part is saying 'just play along, and pretend to be happy with what you are,' so it goes bolth ways.
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
This goes bolth ways too, but its much more obvious. Everyone watched famous people so that they can immitate them, and people watch insane people to learn how to 'treat' other insane people. Yoou cant just turn away from being famous, and you cant just turn away from being clinacly "crazy".
I would go through the whole song, but I should be doing homework right now, so this is basicly how it goes. Yeah. Paramore rocks. ...
Alright well, first off Paramore is amazingly awesome. Now, about what this song means, I happen to agree with those of you who said it was about being famous. The whole song points to it, in reality. It's like being in a room with people looking at you all the time. You have to make sure they think that you always wanna be there, but it's not true. You can't just be like, K, I'm done with this famous biz, later, no you're there forever. And you gotta smile for the cams or the tabloids will rip your head off. You need your fences and restricitions so that you don't go insane! But fame is all you'll ever have. At least right now. The camera does lie, I mean if you took one look at Hayley knowing nothing you'd be like what a punkrock poser. But she's not, she's really nice and modest. It's all about perspecive. K, well, Hayley is still amazing, and Josh and Jeremy and Zac.
I've always been a big fan of Paramore, and I truly believe Hayley Williams is one of the most talented signers around. This is my favorite song of Riot!, and I love the lyrics as much as the rhythm and tune. A truly insightful and deep song.
One of the best songs out at the moment. ;)
paramore is very lucky to have a super adorable front, HAYLEY. she's sooo cute, and has a very extreme amount of charm (x hope they'll try to visit the philippines someday.. their music is very groovy.. many people like it. this is another gem of western music, especially of the pop punk rock scene. love the whole band.. HAYLEY,JEREMY,JOSH,ZAC and even TAYLOR.. love them all..
Omg | Reviewer: Kick | 7/17/08
It's crazy. I totally love this song more than anyone else. And still I'm not that 14-year-old girl who just loves the songs and want to be a new Hayley. I liste to all kind of music, but this, oh gud, this is something special.
i dont realy agree with wat Mikayla said this song is to me about if u r famous people expect things from u and its almost lyk your FENCED in and the camera somehow is always there every mistake u make and wen it says "ill show u how to build your fences set restrictions, separate from the world..." she was just trying to say being famous or great or watever can suck lyk u need a break from the whole world and jst build ur fences and setrestrictions.
i X3 Paramore!!!!!!!! Paramore kicks some big fuckin ass!!!!!!!!!!=D
and dont forget to pay attention to the lyrics
Yay! Cake! | Reviewer: Mikaylaw | 5/19/08
I'm 10 years old and I think Hayley has so much talent. She's kind of like, my role model. (I got her hairdo. Hair dye is amazing!) I like how she's not self centered. I bet Hayley can walk on a street without everyone going "ZOMG ITS HAYLEY WILLIAMS!!!one!!eleven!" unlike that Miley crap that they call 'sensational'. I think this song is ither abot rehab, or a zoo.
Animals are always on display, just for people to stare at. It's unfair.
Anyway, Paramore Kicks Fucking Ass!
