Paramore - Brick By Boring Brick

Paramore is a well-known ‘emo’, rock band, became very famous after singing ‘Decode’ for Twighlight. Then their new approach to their songs in their album ‘Brand New Eyes’ got a bit of their audiences taken aback, but they still loved their meaningful songs.

However, their song ‘Brick By Boring Brick’ was seen as quite a disturbing video, one that is creepy to look at but you can’t seem to look away from, kind of like a very bad car crash.

If people only understood mind control they would be able to see that the video is full of Monarch Programming symbolism and the lyrics go along with it.

So, straight off you can tell that this is some sort of 'fairy land' it isn''t the real World;

We then see a little girl running in the distance. So we're in a little girl's fantasy?;

Then Haley Williams on a swing wearing a white dress.

White, we know, is to symbolise purity. So this little girl is a younger version of Haley. So this is a fantasy that Haley had as a young girl.

The girl runs passed Haley and a member of Paramore who is digging a grave. She doesn’t seem to notice them, which tells us that to her, they are not there. As well we can see that she is wearing butterfly wings and is carrying a doll.

Now, the butterfly is a huge part of Monarch programming, it is the primary reason it is called Monarch Programming. The Monarch butterfly is a species that is able to pass on knowledge to its offspring via genetics and so scientists learned from this animal that knowledge can be passed genetically.

They then discovered that the ability to dissociate can also be passed genetically from generation to generation. And since the primary important factor for the trauma-based mind control is the ability to dissociate the butterfly is a good creature to use.

Children need to be good at dissociation to be programmed and so are tested at 18months of age is they can dissocoate and if they are able then programming starts.

While being torutured via things like; sexual abuse, electro-shock therapy and other sadistic tortures the mind-control slaves are encourages to dissociate from reality. They are encouraged to create and go to their 'happy place' (heard this before?) They use fairy tale imagery to reinforce the programming and create and alternate reality for the slave. Because the victim is in self-preservation mode it creates a new persona as a defense mechanism to the abuse and so the blurring of the lines between reality and fantasy makes the slave completely oblivious to its true state.

This can all be seen above. This place is the child's fantasy. The reason the girl doesn't notice Hayley or the man digging the grave is because she is in her own 'reality' for now trying to get away from her true exsistence. The butterfly wings on her back symbolises that she is a Monarch slave.

"She lives in a fairytale

Somewhere too far for us to find";

So the "fairytale" is her dissaciative mind state and it is "too far for us to find" because it is in her mind, her consciousness. So even if you want to find the true persona of this child you can't she's too far gone.

"Forgotten the taste and smell

Of a World that she's left behind";

Wanting to forget and so has forgotten about the torture she has and is enduring.

"It's all about the exposure the lens I told her";

The exposure to the prison, the tests as if she's a lab rat. "I told her" her two personas communicating. Talking as if to try and soothe the original persona.

Here the door of her new reality shuts violently behind and she is shocked. So by this we can see that it is forced upon her.

Just as Hayley sings; "are all wrong now" this is flashed;

The all seeing eye.

So her angles are being manipulated by her handlers.

"The angles are all wrong now

She's ripping wings off of butterflies";

All "the angles" she knows are wrong, the Monarch Programming is taking its toll and she's "ripping wings off of butterflies".

In the pircture above you can see that she is scared after the 'gateway' has shut forcing her to stay in this reality. She is unsure and afraid, but continues.

"Keep your feet on the ground";

The dissociative state is often described as weighlessness and so her feet are always on the ground while her "head's in the clouds" so in her fairytale land.

And in this picture you can see that she can't seem to walk straight hence showing that this is unreal, she can even feel that it is unreal.

"When you head's in the clouds";

She can see her bright wonderful fairy-tale land. And since

And since this is her first time, is looking around curiously.

She drops her doll and so is letting go of something from her actual reality and is diving fully into this make believe one.

"Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle";

 As the chorus is being sung we see the child look around at the flowers and then when Hayley says “And we’ll dig a deep hole” we see the butterfly. Thus symbolizing the handlers hold over her and how deep they want her to go into this wonderland, how far they want her from reality.

Things are getting brighter, more colorful, more vivd and as they do we see more butterflys. So the Monarch programming is intensifying the deeper she goes.

We then see Hayley dancing;

It doesn't seem to be a 'happy' or 'fun' sort of dance more of a serious kind of ritualistic thing.

While Hayley dances they show part of the child's face and it looks as if she's smiling. However, they don't show her eyes as if trying to conceal something. Maybe it's not a true smile but more fearful than happy.

"So one day he found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground"

As if trying to re-inact being there Hayley is on the ground. However, she is looking down into the grave as if seeing how deep it is, maybe checking if it is deep enough.

When she says "dirty ground" we see;

We can see that this scene is a bit blurry and there are mushrooms all around her. This refers to the use of hallucinogenics during the Monarch Programming to help the children dissacociate.

Her Prince finally came to save her"

The knight in shining armor as you can clearly see. However he too is quite blurry and is surrounded by mushrooms which tell us that he is from her 'wonderland' and as we know from Alice in Wonderland everything she met in Wonderland is something or someone she knows in her real life but in a sweeter nicer way. So who is the Prince really?

"And the rest you can figure out"

She doesn't seem to have it figured out and yet again we see another butterfly flying in front of her face seeming to be obscuring her vision as to 'figuring it out'.

We then see characters that can be assoociated with Alice in Wonderland and teh Wizard of OZ;

This picture kind of reminds me of the tea party in Alice in Wonderland but the hairy man kind of reminds me of Beast from Beauty and the Beast. But more of a eerie version.

She reminds me of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland but she looks to be more of a princess. She is offering chocolates which could also be a symbol of hallucinogenics.

 This one looks like a ‘munch-kin’ from the Wizard of OZ and maybe the Wizard himself laying down. (too blurry to really figure out) This ‘munch-kin’ however, does not seem to be helpful but is kind of teasing the girl as to her being controlled.

And behind them you see a castle, much like the ones seen in the Disney Classics.

Throughout the clips above Hayley sings;

"But it was a trick

And the clock struck 12

Well make sure

To build your house brick by boring brick

Or the wolf's gonna blow it down"

So from this we can sense that something is wrong and something is going to go wrong soon.

As soon as Hayley says; "the wolf's gonna blow it down";

The girl runs as if sensing that something is wrong, or feeling unsafe, as if she heard Hayleys words as well.

"Keep your feet on the ground"; 

This time Hayley is more serious and still seems to be looking at the grave and the way it is said sounds more like a warning. 

At the same time we see the child fleeing to the castle. So again, as if she heard Hayley and senses something wrong.

 

Again, the castle looks a lot like the ones portrayed in Disney Classics.

This is because the castle in the Disney movies was chosen by Walt Disney from an actual castle. Mad King Ludwig (Ludwig II of Bavaria) built a castle like the ones in Disneys Classics and Walt Disney chose to replicate that castle because Ludwig was part of the Bavarian Illuminati so Walt Disney wanted to keep sharing apart of him.

"When your head's in the clouds";

Again, its more like a warning. As if warning her not to go too far.

At the same time we see;

She enters an eerie looking castle. Is Hayley trying to tell her not to go there?

The castle does not seem so beautiful. It is grand in its size however, seems to have been abandoned and uncared for, for a while. Which could be a metaphor for how the children of the Monarch Programmings are; abandoned and uncared for.

We see the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. However, the rabbit looks afraid and is it trapped in that hole like the girl is trapped in her wonderland? And since they want to "bury the castle" and they keep digging its the same thought "How deep does the rabbits hole go?" Alice was falling for a while, how far do they want the child to fall?

"Go get your shovel"

It's as if Hayley is screaming at the audience to come and help dig. Keep this girl in her fantasy. Let the Monarch Programming set in her mind and soul.

"And we'll dig a deep hole"

There are many versions of her showing that the Monarch Programming is working; she has multiple personas now.

We see her standing and watching a mirror image of her but her persona in the mirror is brushing her hair thus proving her multiple personas.

Hayley's arms are out as if representing curicifiction. So their going to crucify the child?

She sees a sudden change in the atmosphere,

Her 'fairytale friends' have turned on her;

And she fears them now;

But they seem to relish that fact and mock her;

Now we see the castle and weather changes more;

  

Now we know something truly terrible is going to happen.

Her face changes colors too, going grey and she is more and more fearful as to what is going to come next;

"You built up a World of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a World of magic"

This shows again the wall that she had to build in her consciousness to dissacociate herself from her tragic reality. She escapes into her World of magic due to the extreme traumas she has to live daily. But as Hayley sings this her "World of magic" is turning evil and she gets more and more scared but cannot seem to flee or do anything. And the folliwng pictures depict this;

Then Hayley sings;

"If it's not real

You can't hold it in your hands"

Hayley is in the girls fantasy now which says that her wonderland is crumbling and her reality is catching up to her. However, Hayley seems saddened by this. That now she knows what is real and what isn't.

"You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it"

She's in the fetal position, as if in a depression, trying to comfort herself that she has figured out reality.

"But if it's true"

As if she's wiping her hands from the truth as if saying 'reality and life is life you just have to make do.'

"You can see it with your eyes"

Again, in a fetal possition.

"Or even in the dark"

We see that she is now changing as if deterierating

We then see this man, dressed as a burglar. So he's going to steal her away from her fantasy land?

She strips off the butterfly wings as if showing that she has now realized her reality and doesn't want this programming anymore. She wants to get away.


"And that's where I want to be, yeah"

She turns as screams realizing her reality and how much it has and is terrifying her.

As well, behind her we see;

A man with an axe.

Now, looking back at the second verse "Her prince finally came to save her ... But it was a trick" So we now realize "the trick" The Prince was no Prince but her handler. She is coiled up on the ground; traumatized, (as we see hayley is in previous pictures). The floor is dirty because before victims of mind control are forced to live in room that are littered with feces. Her "Prince", her handler, comes to save her from pain. But now that we see him with an axe it is not as it seemed. Handlers came to rape their victims and so we now know that he in fact came to rape her. And so pushing her further into dissacociation but now turning it black.

So she runs from him and the castle;

"And we'll dig a deep hole";

It's as if Hayley is singing to the digger trying to get him to keep going, deeper, deeper.

And as she is te girl keeps running away;

The 'wonderland' does not want her to go though;

But she fights them off and so she is going against her handlers, they are thus getting angry and try harder;

Her doll sits where she dropped her but it is propper up as if waiting for her;

She grabs it and runs off. Thus grasping more of her reality and running with it back the way she came.

The light seems to shine on Hayley, the good persona of this girl. She is the illuminated and thus they like her but because the girl didn't listen to them she was thrust in darkness.

Hayley sits their statuesque, robot-like, waiting for the child to come and fall into the grave that awaits her. As if ready to take her place.

Again, robotically, she just looks down at the girl then gets up, tosses her doll in with her and walks off as the man starts to bury her.

This is all very symbolic of the innocence of the girls that is killed during the Monarch Programming. The innocence is killed and replaced with a robotic persona that would do anything they say because empathy and emotions have been replaced with nothing-ness.

Isn't this what is being taught now on TV? Feeling nothing is better than being in pain? Go to your happy place?

Think about it..
