"Now" - Paramore (Official Video)


Okay. This is nothing but my interpretation, but, to me: the General represents Josh. Mostly cuz at the very begining of the video -when there's just Hayley and him- he's the first one to throw a stone -a bomb, actually, in the video-. Jeremy picking up Hayley shows what we all know, that he kick her side from the very start. Then, when Hayley's getting up, there's a soldier that comes to take her down but he kinda feels bad for her or something and he doubts, and then Taylor comes and tackles him down. Well, that soldier could be Zac, for me. The people that start throwing the orange gas cans represent the fans: fighting in the name of the band, fighting for Paramore. I'm still trying to figure out what it means that the soldiers take Hayley's coat off of her. I think Hayley looking around -at the battle- represents the part of the whole Josh & Zac vs. Paramore part when she realizes that it is her battle and no one else's; that is her place to fix it. And then she looks like she's gonna kick the bejesus outta him, and she just hugs him really hard, like: "why are we fighting?! I love you!". I don't know why but I automatically thought about the "In The Mourning"'s bridge: "and it takes all my strength not to dig you off/from the ground in which you lay/the biggest part of me/you were the greatest thing/and now you're just a memory tonight". I liked the General's expression when he hugs Hayley back and glares at the sky like he's forgiving her. I really liked that part.


On a side note: I never liked Hayley's bangs so short, I think it just looks weird. But, to top it all: her eye zone, eyelashes, and eyebrows are painted white, and it makes her look like she has no eyebrows at all. It's just really, really weird.
Anyways: I really liked the video; I thought I wouldn't for a moment, but I did. I actually cried both times I watched it, and I'm pretty sure I'd cry again if I watched it once more.
