calciumwaste Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 i'm sure this is a total n00b question, but anyways... i've seen a lot of people using the lyrics from Brighter to describe Hunter right after he left, and it made me wonder what the original meaning of those lyrics was. is it about Jeremy leaving, or is it about something else?

XMusicDudetteX Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I am not exactly sure what the meaning of "Brighter' is. BUT at the bottom of the booklet somewhere it says: In memory of Lanie Kealhofer You shine brighter than anyone 11.24.'88-5.22.'05 I am not sure if that helps anything. But maybe it is about a friend who died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it is about a friend who died? Yeah...I heard about that as well. Wasn't it some sort of freak boating accident? Its really touching of Paramore to dedicate it to their deceased friend...reminds of of that Ataris song. Great, now I feel like crying, Man...I'm way too emotional.

rewind_xx Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 i guess it does make sense both ways.. about lanie and jeremy. and correct me if im wrong, but i read in an interview that hayley barely had many friends when she was young, and the lines "well this is not your fault, but if im without you then i will feel so small" would make sense seeing as if Lanie might have been one of those few.

ninski Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 woah. that's sad. that line makes me think. "if i'm without you then i would feel so small" that's how i felt when my aunt died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninski Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 wow. that line hit me hard "and if i'm without you then i would feel so small" that's how i felt when my aunt died. it was so hard. you wouldn't think that her songs are so deep. but when you think about it, it really is.

seenothinginthelight Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 i know y’all almost definitely know what Brighter is about but for others on here who don’t, it’s about Hayley’s close friend Lanie who died in a boating accident during a storm.
