Can't make my own decisions
or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing,
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

Explication des paroles de Playing God de Paramore
La chanson « Playing God » de Paramore aborde le thème de la manipulation et du contrôle dans les relations interpersonnelles. Écrit par Hayley Williams, la chanson reflète le sentiment d’être sous l’emprise d’une personne qui se comporte comme un « dieu » en prenant des décisions pour les autres sans leur consentement.
L’anecdote intéressante est que Williams a expliqué que la chanson est en partie inspirée par une expérience personnelle où elle s’est sentie étouffée et contrôlée dans une relation.
En conclusion, « Playing God » est une chanson puissante et émotionnelle qui dénonce les comportements toxiques et encourage à se affirmer et à s’affranchir des relations abusives.
