[Verse 1]
Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear, 'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

[Chorus]
Explain to me this conspiracy against me, yeah, yeah
And tell me how I've lost my power, oh oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Where can I turn, 'cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure of
Tell me why I feel so alone
'Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

[Chorus]
Explain to me this conspiracy against me, yeah, yeah
And tell me how I've lost my power, oh oh, yeah

[Bridge]
I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails, will you be there
To help me through?

[Chorus]
Explain to me this conspiracy against me, yeah, yeah
And tell me how I've lost my power, how?

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
