Amy Lee has such a great voice. You can hear her grief in the lyrics, in her voice and it gives the song power. It' a song that moves everyone really.
Her sister died at age 3 from an (unknown?) illness when Amy Lee was six, I think. That's where the line 'Has no one told you she's not breathing? ' comes in. From the lyrics, it seems that she forces herself to believe that it's all a dream but something then makes her realise that it's real but her sister is there, always, reminding her of yesterday.
At least, that's my opinion.

Well, what I think is basically the same as everyone. It's about someone who's famous wanting to get out of the limelight because the constant pressure is slowly killing them - whether emotionally or physically is left unsaid but the point stands - and they realise that they can't get out. It's kind of a contradiction because they're dying from the fame but it's all they'll ever have, so they crave it too and they can't show what they feel because it'll mean bad publicity.
This is honestly my favourite Paramore song, followed by Let The Flames Begin and I really, really hope they continue to make songs as good as this, even with the loss of two members.
So yeah, Don't Stop The Beat!
