Paramore Anklebiters: Band Releases New Video For a 'Special Song' About 'Accepting Who You Are' [VIDEO]
Paramore is having an awesome year so far and there's no stopping their comeback this year, not even Aklebiters.
The pop rock band couldn't be more happier with their apparent success this 2013. Since releasing their fourth album "Paramore" last April, the band has been in every corner of the globe. From Singapore to Manila, London to Norway and all over the United States, Paramore fans are rocking out to the band's newest tunes.
Last Tuesday, Paramore released a new video for their song "Anklebiters" off their self-titled album. The video was exclusively revealed on the band's website and while most people thought the new jam will be P'more's newest single, vocalist Hayley William's was quick to bust rumors.
"It isn't our next single," she tweeted after a fan asked if the song will be their next single. She added, "We just thought we'd like to release something for that song cause it's pretty special to us after the last tour."
The "Anklebiters" video features colorful animations that some may not understand until they fully grasp what the song really means.
Here is a lyric caption of the song from Paramore.net:
Why do you care what people think
Are you hooked up to their leash
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone elsePre-Chorus
Fall in love with yourselfChorus
Because someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
With those lyrics being said (or sung), the video makes a whole lot of sense as small bug-like animations make a ton of appearances on the vid. And while some might think "Anklebiters" is a shout out to Josh and Zac Farro, former band members who left the band in 2010 for being "unhappy," Hayley says it isn't that at all.
"Well, that song is about accepting who you are, about embracing yourself through all your flaws and past mistakes. Or whatever you think that you have a problem with," Williams told Pure Volume. "I'm every day figuring out what I'm okay with and what I like about myself or don't like about myself. And a song like 'Ankle Biters' is about me. About me not accepting who I was at one point in time."
