“i think that there’s a point in everyone’s life where you decide you’re not going to do what they want you to do any longer. for me, that night was about 15 years ago when i was writing the ‘taste of ink’ lyrics. in my mind, that song is about freedom, but it’s also about happiness and allowing yourself to feel how you deserve to feel: happy.”
TASTE OF INK (2002)
“I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my scars Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it’s who we are I’m just a man, not a hero. Just a boy, who had to sing this song.”
“The story of a man and a woman who are separated by death. The man goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she’s still alive. The devil says he can be with her again if he brings the devil the souls of a thousand evil men and the man agrees to do it, and so the devil hands him a gun.”

Hayley Williams on the lyrics of “Simmer”:
“A while ago I went to this cranial sacral masseuse. I was laying on her table and I started having these weirdly creepy visions of flowers growing out of me. And not in a kind of beautiful way, it was kind of painful and very grotesque. But I kinda realized in that moment that there was a lot that was trying to grow out of me but it was gonna hurt to do it.
And I think for me it’s somewhat of a mantra to try to stay soft in a really really hard world. And feel pain and feel everything, like let all of it come to you and try to put out something that can redeem it all, even if it’s ugly at first.
The lyric is “wrap yourself in petals for armor” because I kept feeling like the way for me to protect myself best is to be vulnerable and be okay with having a lot of pain at certain times and also feeling a lot of joy at certain times. As long as I’m staying soft to those things and I’m open to letting those things in and out of me. Then I can actually survive the world a lot easier than if I stay hard and stay with my fists up all the time.“
The album Petals for Armor comes out on May 8th, 2020
Hayley will be going on tour with Joey
Paramore will be releasing another album down the line

Obligatory “not Danger Days, but too interesting not to share”:
In 2003, My Chemical Romance went on tour with the alternative rock band Vaux. Guitarist Kenneth Daniels kept a scrapbook of fliers, ticket stubs, Polaroids, review clippings, and more from the tour, including a review that described MCR as “the blueprint for the future of heavy rock.” He also took pictures of MCR and the various other bands that they toured with. If you’ve seen those individual Polaroids of Bullets-era MCR floating around, this is where they came from.
