Simmer (lyrics)
Rage is a quiet thing
You think that you’ve tamed it
But it’s just lying in wait
Oh
Rage
Is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when I least expect it
Give in
Control
There’s so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to 10
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down
Control
There’s so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to 10
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down
If I had seen my reflection
As something more precious
He would’ve never
Mmm and if my child needed protection
From a fucker like that man
I’d sooner gut him
Cause nothing cuts like a mother
Give in
Control
There’s so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to 10
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down
Control
There’s so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to 10
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals for armor
Petals for armor
Give In
Control
There’s so many ways to give in
Eyes close
Another way to make it to 10
Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

The coolest thing about a Hayley Williams solo project is that it's basically double the excitement;
1. There's no way of knowing what the hell to expect.
2. There's every reason to believe it's worth the expectation.
Case in point...
Up
@@queenavril all im saying is your name are both of my most fav bands.
@@jamesholley1697 great 🤘 i'm from Indonesia bro .

JOSH that was fast
JOSH ur so early thank you!
Omg thank you😭💝
Crl, mas ja? O q eh flash perto desse povo
Damn that was fadt😂 Thank you!!
here's my analysis of the music video: she mentioned in the annie mac interview that she had this vision of her being covered in petals/flowers and it wasn't the pretty kind, it was painful for her. this new era is about her learning to be more vulnerable despite how it would hurt since she said she has a tendency to push aside/repress how she feels.
there's a lot of imagery of the color red, being nude/naked and the audible presentation of breath sounds. i think the color red is the representation of the rage that comes with the depression she struggled to deal with. the repression she did was shown in how she kept running away from it, quite literally. why she is nude i think presents how vulnerable we feel to our emotions. kind of how the rage is the predator, and we are the prey. we do not want to be eaten by the rage so we run away from it.
there's this part of her in the woods where she's protecting her chest that's shining bright white light. id like to think it's a nice homage to last hope "it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going". we see the red mist see this and get closer and closer to exterminate this light so runs further to protect the light (herself) from dying
hayley now gets into the house and continues trying to hide from the rage that is shown to be constantly lurking, just always almost too close enough to get her. by the latter part of the music video, she enters a RED room filled with candles i.e. fire which is quite the metaphor for anger which i think is a way of her finally confronting the rage she feels. she then starts smearing either red paint or earth all over her body. either way, i think both is her way of embracing the rage (if it's red paint) and by processing that rage, she starts the process of letting the petals grow out of her (if it's earth)
.
as for the breaths being utilized as rhythmic elements in the song, i find it a brilliant way to represent how this song is basically her way of getting this rage out of her chest. id also like to think it's a good way to remind us how breathing literally keeps us alive and without expelling this rage out of us, we will implode and fall apart so this need to breathe out, to release whatever shit we're carrying is greatly shown here by making the breaths such a central point in the song which again, emphasizes the importance of breathing itself
to explain why she killed the told you so version of her (it's also the same house in the music video), i think it's because that version of her was the metaphor of her depression back in the after laughter era. the one that was repressing all the rage she felt. in the end, it is revealed that it was hayley covered in petals who "killed" told you so hayley so going back, im inferring that it's her killing that self as she embraces this new one.
@Papi Dawg i literally looked like this while writing it: i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/022/524/tumblr_o16n2kBlpX1ta3qyvo1_1280.jpg
Genius could never. Well explained for sure 🙌🏼
Perfectly written!
I agree!! Amazed!!! Thank you!
Very well said
Bayley!!! Bring it home!!
Oh bring it home SHE DID!!
i love how the song is about anger yet it's so quiet. it's passive aggressive. it represents what pent up anger looks and feels like.
this!! this is my favorite thing about the song. quiet anger.
Rage is a quiet thing
Giselle Nicole anger is violent. rage is quiet.
Never afraid of the loud, run from the quiet 🤫
Mine doesn't look like this.
When Hayley hit the disguised Hayley with the bowl of good dye young! Wow!
The instrumental itself leaves me feeling sooo uneasy. It's like it wants to build up to something much bigger but restrains itself from doing so. It really captures this "bottled up anger" kind of feeling that this song gives!
Excatly
tame impala vibes
Isn't it a beautiful Illustration.
Cesar M do you hear Taylor in the instrumental? It’s so Taylor York. Love it so much! He’s so awesome!
Yeah like there was so many times I was expecting the music to explode into rock-level riffs and just have her belt out everything... this is much more uneasy. I LOVE IT! I hope she does make an alt version of this song like I said... lol
GO BAYLEY!
🙌🏾🙌🏾
the era we’ve been needing. the era she deserves.
Chelsea Stewart 1000% agree
AHAHAHAHAHAHA It's time for you meds to bumped up AHAHAHAHAHAHa
I just love how honest and real Hayley is with music. We’re literally seeing her heal in real time, just like with After Laughter. “Expression is Survival” really is true.
Funny seeing you here 😂
I appreciate this song for what it is but I'm not sold on loving it yet
Savannah 😂😂 of course I’m on a Hayley thread haha
It took me a minute too because it’s so purposely unnerving, but hearing an interview on everything just made it so much better
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
I’m so proud of Hayley for finally being able to show us her vision. The crazy part is that I know this isn’t even her final form. Straight up one of the most underrated female vocalists of our time. We always knew she had this in her now we get to bask in the glory of her self expression and freedom to be who and whatever the fuck she wants 🌺🌺🌺
Vocalist. Period. Male or female!
this is just the start
And amazing lyricist
Underrated? She is my favorite singer of the 00s and even I think she is msssively overrated.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
the QUEEN has risen. This is too much. My heart is full. I have missed this woman
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
i have no words. the metaphors, the beat, the lyrics, everything. she really outdid herself this time.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
It’s 2020, Hayley Williams is making music and My Chemical Romance is on tour. Let me pull out my eyeliner I guess. Since y’all are twisting my arm here

I want Paramore comes to Peru for the »Vivo x el Rock« (Live for the rock) Perhaps my dream Will be true :')
🌈🐾🌈
It’s the rawring 20’s
Hayley: *breathes*
Me: so true, relatable
Hayley: Ss ss kah eh... ss ss kah eh...
Me: YOU GO GIRL!!!
LMAO SO REAL
so judging by the ending...
she’s killing her former self who has been chasing her up until now, and now what’s left alive is fresh clay, ready to be formed into anything.
On point here
Exactly!
a m 🙌🙌 perfect!!
i understood it as: when you're scared and/or lonely, cover yourself in pudding until you feel better
everybody's got a different perspective tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Grrrreat
I like how while she sings "wrap yourself in petals", "simmer simmer simmer" is in the background. That's kinda how it feels when you try to control your rage.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
i didn’t realise how much i missed hayleys voice until i heard her sing 🥺🥺 i love her
I was so nervous about Hayley doing a solo record and when I saw Paramore members working on it with her I was even more confused. But listening to the album, how personal it is, even more so than After Laughter, it makes sense in a way that doesn’t until you listen to it and hear the lyrics. It absolutely makes sense to be a solo project.
I think the other paramore artists are retired. They helped create the music, but touring is tiresome. They kicking back and letting her do the leg work.
@@loki-of-asgard7877 i think they're currently creating the sixth album, i remember hayley saying that
@@loki-of-asgard7877 there next album is upcoming😀
well do i have news for yall here 😁
I like how she's really experimenting with different aspects of her voice and exploring a different style..
Me too. But what are those word-like sounds she is making? It grows on ya but it is jibberish talk right ?
Hayley can sing err body know she got lungs on her
If I share this with my friends. They will laugh at me and I share Haley Williams with them. Branch out and experiment but if you do. Don't go so fake. Love your voice hate the fake music
Grace Love Hey, so my name is Huddie Elite, I’m an independent artist making primarily dark electronic pop. I write my own lyrics and produce my own beats. My vocals aren’t the greatest but I’m still learning in that field. It would be pretty chill if you checked out my page and listened to a few of my tunes. Who knows, you might even actually like it. If you do, be sure to subscribe; if not, that’s cool too. Just hear me out.
@@hv1461 It sounds kind of like scatting to me. It's kind of a way to create rhythm or a melody without an instrument - your voice is basically the instrument and you don't need to use actual words. Very common in jazz.
My take: She is running in a vulnerable state while trying to escape from something that is chasing her or something that’s trying to overcome her something which I believe she is trying to suppress which is why she’s trying to cover the light that sprouts from her chest.
She finds shelter in the house, which I think stands for the comfort of her past (music, band, etc) but it is an empty house, which doesn’t offer her the safety nor the comfort she’s searching for and instead prevents her from escaping. Inside this house there is a door, which is the only door that sheds light and as she opens it, it isn’t what she was expecting. It isn’t help, or safety but it’s something raw.
Perhaps the moment she finds the mud or clay is when she finally stops and bathes in her feelings of sadness and rage and is somehow her armor; that’s why she covers herself in it, loses herself in the feeling of it.
Her “other” self I think represents her past self, as she seems to be looking for something, wandering not so much chasing her as was the beginning. But like a child that only wants guidance. so when she opens the door to her emotions and her let’s say “angry” finds her and “kills” her it symbolizes the sort of end of “innocence”. And at the end she realizes that after that there is no way of going back. Because she literally opened a door that no matter if she tries closing it she has already consumed.
All just my interpretation or what I feel from this
It has to be this
Hayley's song always tell bout her story
this is one hell of an analysis. even if this is not what Hayley wanted to say, I am still gonna believe this explanation. Nice way of thinking, Misaki Sadhay!
Yes... Yes ... mmm hmmph... So Misaki Sadhay
tell me more - Sigmund Freud
@@kempitseleketep mba indo yak?
My interpretation is that hayley is trying to run away from rage, symbolized in red. She's naked cause its the most vulnerable and pure state of being. Her soul (maybe symbolized by the white light in her chest) tries to forgive/have mercy. Her fear of facing the rage, as it comes closer to catch her, makes her run away. The bones make her even more panicked, maybe she thinks that if she lets herself be caught by rage, this will mean her death/destruction. As she enters a home, a place that should mean shelter and security, but also isolation she feels like growing a thick skin, or covering her body with new layers (as petals on a rose: "wrap yourself in petals"). With that new and thick skin she finally feels strong enough to sneak on the rage and destroy it. But when she looks at the outcome, she's shocked by the fact that she had killed herself. So maybe the message is that you should allow yourself to be in rage sometimes, as maybe "it is in our vains" so is mercy, for the "line between wrath and mercy" is unclear. Instead of trying to run away from rage, or to suppress it, we should allow it to be a part of our nature (maybe her being in nature and seeing death is also a symbol for it). If you try to kill that emotion, you end up killing a part of yourself.
also the constant repitition of "give in" intensifies this impression. To give in and accept our nature with all its facets, good and bad
You echoed my exact thoughts, only with more complete words.
This is very well put
Bravo 👏🏻
No absolutley not your completely off the running naked is deffitnitly a natural state like rage is a natura normal feeling. the light in her chest is the fire of rage burning inside of her, the rage that shes trying to hold down the material she rubs on her face makes her look ugly like this ugly being posseses by rage as weve all been there and what happens? You do something you regret during this rage you get stupid so to speak and the fact that she killed this being wraped in cloaks and lookin evil as could be to her ,then realizes that its an old her is symbolic in my mind im not to sure about this one, as saying were all messed up and think about how you have changed in your life in time and now this person didnt have a chance to change and you feel bad afterwards but there already dead. Youve made a decision under the crazed control of rage and hurt someone. I see the moral of the story as rage is a normal feeling but needs to be controlled because its a primal mind process like you are not anymore you now know better than to let this primal mind set control you but if you let the rage consume you you might make a decision and hurt someone like killing them that you cant take back from THEM.
Had to Shazam this song... Bayley brought me here
I've been a paramore fan since middle school, now I'm almost 30. I grew with Hayley. Went through a divorce when paramore released after laughter and I connected so much and it helped me get out of my toxic marriage. Over the last 3 years I have been creating a whole new life, recreating myself, growing through my trauma. Here I am relating to hayley again!
That's reallly nice to hear 😊
Feel you
That is awesome honey
i'm so happy for you
same here!
This is powerful. This is poetry. Hayley Williams you are a hero to many.
Did you tried to say: most of us?? Anyways, that's not True
Said it like 15 times this week: no one has a way with words like she does. So many things she's said and sung still stick with me
I actually really like this vibe. Her voice sounds so soothing.
Yes.
Yep she’s amazing
Surprising that her solo shit wasn't more popular. She is extremely talented vocally, this track has very nice touches inside the audio, and personally I really enjoyed it.
I think that Hayley wants to separate from the person she was before with paramore, BUT I'm not saying that paramore are going to split up. Hayley is finding herself and I support that.
tottaly an icon.
edit: xd
my intention was that this is so different to paramore and I DON'T SAY THAT SHE ISN'T CLOSE TO THE BAND, I'm just saying that she changed a lot from that "happy girl" with orange hair and that stuff, even in AL era we saw that. and yeah, I know about that the band members were in this project
sorry if I wasn't clear
You know taylor produced this right? Still working closely with paramore
@@lowkeynopressure6739 you know her and taylor have been an item for about a year and a half now right?
I thought Paramore were working on an album as well as Hayley's solo career!
Fina Armania wuhhhh no WAYYYYYY I’d be happy if that was true
In an interview on BBC radio she says she will make more music with Paramore in the future

Artistic Bottle. Not all heroes wear capes
I am always thankful to those people commenting the full lyrics of a song in the comment section of youtube. THANK YOU!
Artistic Bottle. Blimey you were quick
I got the slightly idea that she could've been abused by some guy (?) I don't know but it's too suspicious, the lyrics and everything. Someone explain, pls:(
So... in the bridge, is she referring to Chad as the man? Maybe? “He would’ve never...”
Video interpretation:
She's been running from some demon being completely herself (naked and scared), everything inside of her that she's been denying is trying to come ou t and she's scared to confront it. She get's into this house (which is basically Taylor's house and the same house from "Told you so", the bat cave) there, she finds the some light behind the door and when she opens it up she finds some clay to cover herself up like with an armor(maybe a reference for flower paste, as she says "wrap yourself in petals for armor" which means to stay soft, vulnerable and open to pain to protect herself) and kills the demon, which is basically Hayley herself dressed up as she was in the "Told you so" music video, where she was lonely in that house, sad and depressed waiting for someone, looking oustide the window in the whole video waiting for someone to save her(that happened to be Zac and Taylor of course)
So basically
She killed that girl.
The sad, depressed, lonely, scared version of hers.
wow I love it, what an interpretation!
WoW!
U nailed it ❤️
Present day Hayley killed the old version of herself that was trapped in the house from Told you so. we know the told you so video is inspired by the "bat cave" that she talked about in the lodet interview which represented the dark place she was stuck in physically and mentally
@@ITFNBiteBayKon yes!
bayley! Bayley! BAYLEY!
BE LUCKY YOU WERE ALIVE IN 2020 TO HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF HAYLEY WILLIAMS

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH Delusional children AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit music from a narcissist LMFAOROTF
Music Written by - Hayley Williams, Taylor York & Joey Howard
Music Produced By: Taylor York 😍
I like how the Paramore members still are connected to Petals for Armor.
Maybe they’ll even play on tour?
I also love how Paramore can be derived from petals for armor, hopefully that was intentional 🥺
Yeah I think just like zac's own band, the Halfnoise
Hayley published an insta story in which someone says they have tour dates set up... Lets wait and see😎
@Tay JMN 😂😂😂😊 say it for the people in the back
Tay JMN or they’re best friends who have been creating music together since they were kids but sure
this is absolutely what hayley sounds, looks and moves like, this is her finally being true to herself and im so here for it, so proud of her !!!
Is she solo now?
This fucking comment... YESSS!!!!
Same here
Frances Davis nope. she still loves paramore. she just wants something of her own creation to be out there.
@@francesdavis5734 it's just her career. paramore is still a band
Someone mentioned that been said quickly and in repetition "simmer simmer" can also be heard as "mercy". That's very precise coming after the phrase "Oh how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
" The answer is "mercy down". To let your anger get out of you, being less mercyful with the ones who fuck us up. Love that.
Thanks for sharing this... very deep and insightful
My dumb brain has no idea what you just explained but it sounds amazing.
Mer down
@@DarthUnivers Try saying it to yourself. "simmersimmersimmersimmer" and "mercymercymercymercy".
oh my god
I feel that Hayley's fans are becoming more mature as an audience after this song.
george baklavadakis a lot of us grew up with her so that does make sense
Most people that grew up with songs like Misery Business and That’s What You Get Are in their 20s now, so It makes a lot of sense
We had to after she dropped that "fucker" line
@@WesleyLindsey 😂 true
@@ronstoppable5659 20s!? More like 30s :(
The QUEEN has decided to finally bless us again with her angelic voice that would make even Satan cry and I’m ready to be emotionally destroyed by this song
I really like the message of this song: the only way to deal with rage is to feel it fully, to feel it burn and let it simmer down on its own. Bottling it up, burying it, or taking it out in a violent way is never gonna solve it even if it feels like a release.
BAYLEY brought me here!!!
Love this song love Bayley and love Hayley Williams.
Holy sh*t that was refreshing. A million thumbs up. I’ve been crying on the inside since I heard this was coming out today. Another reason why life is great. Thank you Hayley!
Just.... Same here.
I feel like I havent heard her voice in forever. I mean I listen to Paramore often but when new stuff comes it's like I'm hearing it after years of not. If that makes any sense lol
It completely does make sense. I've been following Paramore and Hayley for years, basically grown up with them, and I agree with this sentiment exactly. She in a way always takes me back home when she resurfaces.
@@chelseathorne4352 yessss glad I made sense :3
Hey i feel you
Same!
okay but why is no one talking abt the cinematography..I’m obsessed
Brooklyn Rose Yeah, actually looks like something from Netflix 😯 I mean the production of the video 😯
SoyEvelyn OtraVez exactlyyyyy
Ffr
the cinematography is from ionna
Cinematography by Iamamiwhoami & ionnale
Always been a Paramore fan, I'm so glad she's fighting her depression well and still making great music. I have all sorts of mental issues and her music helps me through hard times. Love you Hayley, and the new album, please keep being strong and singing that beautiful voice.
♥️♥️
She has depression? Oh my god:((
@@ceshee she did yeah, it’s really sad but she found the strength to keep going and is doing much better now :)
being bipolar and autistic i can relate to depression...hope she focuses on herself,takes care of herself first before being ashamed of her inability to function...i was ashamed 20 first years of my life because i was different and reacted differently than others to things happening in life.i felt so relieved when i let go of being ashamed and sought help not only from shrinks but from friends and family.im alive today because i learned that i was loved💕💕💕and needed.
@@someoneselsesheartbeat2657 haha mental illness is cool and all are the same. I am a psychopath so I can relate. Ops I mean anti social personality disorder or whatever. Haha sorry, not sorry since I'm literally incapable of being sorry. We are the same?
I love how the question "how to draw the line between wrath and mercy" is answered in the chorus when she keeps repeating "simmer" and it starts to sound like "mercy"
Oh snap, you right
When I first heard the song I thought the chorus was "mercy"!
still cant hear mercy lol
Also the beginning of the song sounds like boiling water, and Hayley's voice like air bubbles
Bruh that's genius
This sounds like a dark version of after laughter and I LOVE IT
IF MY CHILD NEEDED PROTECTION FROM A FU**ER LIKE THAT MAN I’D SOON TO GUT HIM COS NOTHING CUTS LIKE A MOTHER I FELT THAT
I kinda feel like she's talking about us? Her fans, and how she would protect us.
S A M E
More like what Chad did to her.
This is the rage u get after being cheated on.
@@saturntheemo i feel that she's talking about herself, like someone who needs protection e also can be her own protector, something like that
@@mikekost4191 That's a good point.
This song gives me chills. I used to really struggle with anger and rage from being hurt in the past. So listening to this now that im entering a better place is just chilling remembering my anger and how damaging it was. This why i will forever be obsessed with Hayley and her talent ❤️❤️❤️
🙏
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
"this is why"
Haven’t waited for a song live ever never felt so satisfied with a decision
Yeah it was great watching this live with everyone!
daaaamn the aura this song creates. it's so unsettling and yet so fresh to the ears. 🥺 only true art can evoke so much feelings. thank you for bringing your music to this world, Hayley. your talent is a gift that keeps on giving 💝
How we are we SO aligned? I swear her music always comes at a time when I NEED it.
After Laughter came out the day I was released from a psych ward! It was everything I needed and more. I would give more credit to Hayley and Paramore for helping me heal than anything they did for me in the hospital.
Same i need to get rid of this rage before it takes control even if it seems right i cant be the one to decide i make to many mistakes
Rachel B. 🖤 yes
Dude I FEEL that. Paramore and Hayley are just tied to my life so beautifully
can't wait for bayley's entrance at wrestlemania!!
The lyrics she sings always seem to be timed in my life just perfectly. From when I was 8 years old to now.
I don’t know why, but my interpretation of this song is that it’s about trauma, ptsd-dreams and acceptance towards your illness. I used to have dreams similar to the visuals in the video when I was at my worst, and the lyrics takes me back to the feeling I got when I started to accept that maybe I wasn’t as strong and tough as I thought I was. I was so angry and frustrated back then, but at the same time it was a good kind of angry. Because after I started to accept my illness and process my trauma it got a little bit easier. Absolutely beautiful song, Hayley. I’m so proud to call myself an old fan of yours. ❤️
This is... Different.
Vaguely reminds me of Paramore's self-titled but it's fresh, personal, really heavy hitting and experimental.
Hayley looks more mature, more confident and sincere than ever before.
For one, I'm hella excited for Petals For Armor as a whole.
Buff McLargeHuge I can hear No Friend especially in this song
@@howwabouttno2037 yeah, I'm feeling some later After Laughter vibes, too. It's somewhere in between Future and No Friend, but it has the almost manic beat from something like Told You So, really fascinating
I see a lot of Thom Yorke influence here. When the last album was more Talking Heads influenced.
Yeah hearing the instrumental at the beginning immediatly made me think of self titled, Part 2 especially

Rage is a quiet thing
You think that you've tamed it
But it's lying in wait
Oh, rage
Is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when, when I least expect it
[Chorus]
Give in
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to ten
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to ten
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down

If I had seen my reflection
As something more precious
He would've never
Mmm, and if my child needed protection
From a fucker like that man
I'd sooner gut him
'Cause nothing cuts like a mother
[Repeat Chorus]
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals for armor
Petals for armor
[Repeat Chorus]
Thanks 🖤
I thought she was saying get in control
@@SupremeM lyrics in the description
Everything she’s ever been involved in, comes out right when I am feeling something similar. This song is everything I needed. It is haunting and strong and I love every single second of it.
I cannot wait for this album.
I feel the same exact way.
me too, it's scaring but incredible
This! Brand New Eyes, when I was at my angriest. Self-titled, when I was moving overseas. After Laughter, when depression started its awful stranglehold. This, as I’m trying to claw my way out of it. It’s pretty bizarre.
@@Tirtougay right? it's just amazing
sunny sunshinee same here!!
Paramore was my artist of the decade on Spotify...
Hayley’s gonna be my artist of this decade. :’)

Me too 🖤

The were second on mine, City and Colour were the only group with higher numbers!
Mine too
Me too!
Why is no one talking about the ending?
... like how SHE ended up fighting herself but realizing in the end that the exact thing you're trying to RUN AWAY FROM is what you have become.
or that you can't defeat anger bc it's who you are
@@alexba1ley ooohhhh! That's good! 🥺
Or maybe that your anger can get the best of you if you don't simmer down
@@baha0nessaa0 oohh 👏 that's good too! 🥺
yeah it's really powerful
y’all better give hayley her solo hit she deserves
AND THATS ON WHATT
@@beeyuhs PERIYAAAAAAT

Good but not enough for a Hit :(
Hayley: breathing
Me: omg omg omg it’s a jam
Orane DUDE SAME
Simmer down now.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Same here 🤣
Orane literally fucking same 😂
If this is what her album is going to sound like, I’m totally on board.
Idk, this wasn't at all my thing. And I'm into a ton of genre's of music, but this just didn't sound good IMO. But I'm glad you'll like it!

CANT WAIT TO HEAR THIS AT WRESTLEMANIA
The most beautiful woman on the planet, Hayley the one and only is back and solo!!!
Damn that was AMAZING!!!
finally sharing her skincare routine it was about time
rage is the best skin care, am I right?
hahahahah
@@vozangelino exactly!
And it was Nutella all along!
Angellino Vinicius I think playing god is the only skin routine Jesus would agree with
Hayley Williams is low-key one of the best frontwomen of today.
Her vocals speak for themselves.
AmazingSmark low-key, high-key tho
remove lowkey and you are correct
@@michellesimpson4352 Trrruuueeee. She's (and all of Paramore) underrated tho. After Laughter should've gotten a Grammy.
Way late, but “low key?” Loll 😜 I’ve been following Hayley and Paramore since Riot! She’s *BEEN very highly* regarded. Edit: neither Hayley NOR Paramore are underrated. Like c’mon 🤪
This does not feel like four whole years ago
Agreeddd
Foreal
Ikr its mental. I remember getting the notification 4 this. Amazing song and amazing album
What a year ago? No way, I swear this last year was weird af. Can we count 2020 and 2021 like the same year?
I SWEAR TO GOD WHATS HAPPENING
This is a side of Hayley we haven't seen and I'm living for it
I listen to this and know I can get through fucking anything. Hayley's lyrics saved my life many times before... and here we are again. My greatest thanks so such an amazing person
Preach.
I could really cry. I didn't realize how much I missed her voice.
She's definitely all grown up. This is next level song writing.
Let's say thank you to the queen mother Hayley
And also say thank you to Taylor and Joey for being so supportive and talented
Hayley Williams is a wonderful lovable soul and emo-pop/punk/rock legend
my purple, blue and black heart goes to her
If you’ve ever been in a mentally or physically abusive relationship then you understand this on another level..
....there now...
@@bluesoda404 hopefully this helps
@@_its_jayla_jam1733 a little
Yup. This, just hit.
Absolutely. Hayley beautifully captures the pain, rage and sadness that I felt when going through abusive and toxic relationships. I’m thankful for artists like her that aren’t afraid of showing us vulnerability.
“If my child needed protection from a f*cker like that man, id sooner gut him, cus nothing cuts like a mother. " *LITERAL CHILLS *
Princess Pea MEEEEE
Princess Pea I was literally about to look up lyrics just to find what she said there!!!! 😱😱😱
judging from the responses, i feel like most people are missing the message. This song is big heartache
"Chances of getting killed by Hayley Williams are low...
... BUT NEVER ZERO."
It’s cringey 🤷🏽♀️
hayley is mazing and always will be
Not only are the lyrics incredibly deep, as well as the message, the imagery is very on point and relatable. Dealing with love and loss, the struggle between being vulnerable. Fighting to protect your heart while being completely open. Sculpting a new identity, growth, and killing your old self. Even using armor of the walls we build up and changes to protect ourselves. Reinvention. Break ups, thinking how you would rather kill the person then subject even a hypothetical child to their abuse. Self worth and self reflection. How we can feel like we've dealt with hurt pain anger rage but it's a constant thing to work on and can resurface. Drawing the line between wrath and mercy. Truely deep and powerful. Layers on Layers. Looking forward to this album.
I weirdly took it to mean that SHE herself, was the child. And or her heart was. And she left it vulnerable to him. And now, she's the mother to her own heart. She realizes what she has done, what she left it blindly open to, and now she's coming for blood.
Interesting take....now with your analysis, I can't wait for the album

@Chocolate Button my last name is literally Seiber not bieber, child. Go tell your parents you're using TH-cam.
@@MissMirokie I was going to give some similar but different theories. But I settled with the fact that it makes a lot of sense that in her marriage one of the things that made her want leave was reflecting on what being a mother would be like and how he would treat that child. But its definitely possible it's a metaphor for that, or just like her child like innocence, self image etc.
DIRECTOR: How many costumes do u want?
HAYLEY: NO
^^Somebody finally found a twist to that joke??
Hayley: "How about none?"
Hayley: Mud

Merci merci madame d'avoir uni, l'intelligence & l'agréable, en une chanson.
Hayley's musical instinct is just genius. There, I said it.
"Honey, you know that blonde woman who moved in next door?"
"What about her?"
"She's...she's running around her backyard naked"
😂😂
😂😂😂
Lmao

Taylor is such a blessing to the world man!
Such a selfless soul❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this song so much cry
same
I've been listening to paramore since I was a very young girl and somehow Hayley is always writing down my inner feelings, so listening to it feels like therapy and inspires me. I am very grateful for her honesty and it's so beautiful to see her grow and grow with her. I'm so excited to see what's coming next!!! 🌺
That "inner feelings"
"I'm not angry anymore well sometimes I am" had a FUCKIN GLOW UP
LMAOO
This literally couldn’t have been any better! Not at all what I was expecting but literally everything I had hoped it would be.
bethanylately THIS!
AMEN SIS 😩
A YEAR!?!? i remember religiously watching her socials for clues and hints. missing this
2 minutes into simmer by hayley williams:

After Laughter Hayley: "This isn't even my final form!"
legion... a man of culture
only the best show ever made.. no biggie
heard the new paramore song ? i got chills and this comment is SO TRUE
I can see now why she decided to release this solo. It feels a little too personal to be released under the Paramore umbrella. I'm guessing this album is gonna be all about her exploring herself, post-divorce. Can't really do that with the expectations that come with a Paramore record.
This is pure genious, a masterpiece of art.
I see shock in her face at the end - the shock of realising that killing her anger is actually killing a needed part of herself. It cannot be done. Or outrun.
Esther Ross I don’t think is her angry self, i think is her sad depressive self from “Told you so”
Could be both. Depression can foster anger.
Yes it goes both ways - suppressed anger can also foster depression. The temptation is to run away from our anger (emotions) - she talks a bit about this on the BBC Radio Simmer interview, as well as on L'odet (a highly reccomended good read). :)
Well said.
Esther Ross Everything you say is so completely on point! Thank you❤️
SHE SAVED 2017 AND SHE’S BACK AGAIN TO SAVE 2020.
Miss Hayley Williams, everyone! Carrying the music industry. Like always.
DON'T FORGET TAYLOR YORK. ♥️
Yeah absolutely not. Calm yourself down.
First thought: that baseline
Second: Hayley’s range
Third: How many contemporary dance videos will be uploaded in the next 24 hours to this
Fourth: Which tv drama will use this first

@@Burcuuuuu what? why?
@Gabriel Bartz but I doubt they managed to squeeze it in given that the season is dropping tomorrow. Whatever gets a new season next will
Gettin back coz this song is underrated what a masterpiece!!
I love Hayley with these dark lyrics. It feels like it’s her element. 10/10 from me!
“I’d sooner gut him....cuz nothing cuts like a mother”
I felt this deep! Chills!
Amazing single!! You did the damn thing Hayley !
RIP Chad. makes sense too that line...about wanting to protect someone as a mother. He's about to marry a very very very young, naive and innocent girl. It's sad.
@@finaarmania1173 I do not know if it is becuase I just watched the Suspiria movie, but I just can´t help feeling like this song was inspired by that movie.
Fina Armania Lisa Cimorelli (the girl who he‘s marrying) is not that young, i just think that they just have not been together long enough but that‘s the case for their whole family, all of the girls in the Cimorelli Family get married after only having dated for 1 year.
@@ani2438 26 is very young when the guy your marrying is almost 40. I feel for her because I have been there. Those are two very different points in your life and mindsets. People will try to make up for it by claiming the female is just "very mature for her age" but they are fully being taken advantage of. I believe they all get married fast because of the whole no sex until marriage thing...
I’m like a proud mother but she is my mom.
So a proud daughter then? Lol
I definitely appreciate that😂
@@zeedee6346 🤣🤣
so I am your second mother because she's my girlfriend
