Hayley Williams wrote in the journal in the Brand New Eyes Deluxe Edition about Brick By Boring Brick:

"I believe it's important to stay young at heart. To have faith in what might seem impossible and to have goals beyond your current ambitions or temporary means. However, there is a huge difference, to me anyways, between acknowledging your dreams and never living in reality. Some people are so scared of being boring- so insecure with who they might be- that they build up this huge lie, it's all one big distraction. For not only the on-lookers but for their self. To me, it is a selfish way to live. A great means of defense. But selfish nonetheless. I've been hurt by this lifestyle. Hurt by people I barely know. I've even been guilty of living this way. It's so common. I'm glad that I've found some words to finally speak up about it.

A brick is such a traditional, tired and plain boring representation of solidity. I wanted the whole song to have this sort of fairy tale vibe... only to twist the point I'm trying to make in the song which is, 'Stop living in a fake fairytale... like, WAKE UP!' When thinking how I could really get that across in the song I decided I'd use a house. Someones safe place, even in a fairy tale... you can't forge a refuge out of magic & fairy dust. You gotta build it just as real and as solid as a stupid old brick."

This song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they're living a fantasy life. It's one thing to have goals and dreams but it's another thing when you never know where you're standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that."

You can cover up reality and run away into a dream but in the end that's what it is, a dream and no matter what you do you cant run away from your problems no matter what is.
