Insights from the New Song
“May never happen again / Stings like sweat on broken skin / And it’s never enough / Tastes like the whole ocean / Exit stage left / What might be the end / Showbiz, showbiz.”
Williams does not clarify what is ending in these lyrics. However, in the previous track, “Good Ol’ Days,” she refers to herself as “Miss Paramore,” implying a future for the band she started at age 15.

The new album’s lyrics also allude to her recent ended relationship with Paramore’s guitarist.
