If anyone was wondering about the meaning of this song (like I was), Hayley explained: "I was writing a story about a girl who escaped reality through pictures and fairy tales and anything that wasn't the real story. This way, she'd look perfect to everyone else and we'd all think that she's got it together. But being that it was all for show, it couldn't last. The lyrics in the chorus finally happened when I pictured her finally doing away with it all - burying everything she'd made up in her mind so she could face the real world for once. For the record, this song isn't autobiographical."

[@xelestial_sky]

She really wrote this song about me huh.

[@Sophia-qq2ys]

[@PoofyKittyPants]

The song is about walking away from the fictions of childhood and becoming an adult.

“Make sure to build your heart brick by boring brick or the wolf’s gonna blow it down” Still one of my all time favorite stand-alone lyrics I’ve ever heard. Apt reference and its meaning itself is consistent with the whole song; find yourself and be able to be emotionally strong willed and resilient or you’re going to get blown over by the curveballs life throws your way. I’ve always liked the candidness of this song, that lyric in particular

I've probably heard this song 50 times and I never actually heard the reference to the wolf until looking up the lyrics; always thought she was saying "world". Basically the same message, but a valuable nuance to pick up on. Far more specific. Thank you for highlighting this.

[@kaleighzavala3450]

I love the profile pic :))

[@bernardparangan9803]

The meaning of the song doesn't just ended up with making yourself strong emotionally by building your heart brick by boring brick. It also tells you that if your going to build a wall around you don't forget to put windows and a door to not loose sight of what reality is. Most people believe that having a strong will is enough to protect themselves. They will not believe in any truth other than the truth they created inside that brick walls of theirs. Try listening to the bridge of the song " if it's not true you can't hold it in your hand...... " the lyrics emphasize that be strong but don't loose sight of what reality truly is. Also, if watch the MV the princess runaway from that castle. She is aware that isolating herself is wrong. But, the more she stayed inside the castle the reality becomes more scary. She becomes anxious about it and run then finally she fell in a deep pit of despair

This song perfectly sums up how I feel about my childhood. I didn't know it growing up, but I had a very dysfunctional family. Terrible things would happen to me and I would tell myself and others "Every family had problems. No family is perfect". I truly believed I had it good, but I was lying to myself. I grew up and saw my childhood for what it actually was, and I realized it wasn't the brightly colored fairytale I thought it was. I had built up a world of magic, because my real life was tragic. Now all I can do is pick up my shovel and dig a deep hole to bury that castle. Its truly exhausting.

Right now I’m going through a tunnel of nostalgic tunes while processing the trauma of my recent car wreck. I remember back in middle school, my skinny body clad with baggy clothes to hide the neglect and pain it went through, blasting this song over my MP3 player towards the middle of the bus while hunched over and hiding while I cried. After going through so much to this day, I’m still alive to hear this song again. I’m sure little girl me thought I’d be dead by now. Hell, sometimes I still feel like I am. But I know now that whatever life throws at me, all I can do is wait for my wings to shed so they can grow back again ❤️

So after reading a very informative article about Monarch mind control, I FINALLY figured out what this song means- it seems that the young girl is a victim of monarch mind control and Hayley is the personality that the girl left behind when she got mind controlled- and Hayley is singing the song to the alternate personality to wake up and face reality to break free from her mind control. When the girl finally figures it out and does so, she "dies" in a sense, and the original personality of pre-mind control Hayley returns, which explains why the girl gets buried in the grave. Am i the only one who thinks this is the message of the song..?

Brick By Boring Brick Well, she lives in a fairy tale Somewhere too far for us to find Forgotten the taste and smell Of a world that she's left behind It's all about the exposure the lens, I told her The angles were all wrong, now she's Ripping wings off of butterflies Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds Well, go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle Bury the castle Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle Bury the castle Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra So one day, he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save her And the rest you can figure out But it was a trick and the clock struck twelve, well, make sure To build your home brick by boring brick Or the wolf's gonna blow it down Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds Well, go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole To bury the castle Bury the castle Go get your shovel And we'll dig a deep hole I want bury the castle Bury the castle Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh, oh, ohh Well, you built up a world of magic Because your real life is tragic Yeah, you built up a world of magic Well, if it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand You can't feel it with your heart And I won't believe it But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes Oh, even in the dark And that's where I want to be, yeah Go get your shovel (you'll be better) And we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now) To bury the castle (ooh) Bury the castle Go get your shovel (you'll be better) And we'll dig a deep hole (off without me now) To bury the castle (ooh) Bury the castle Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa (pa) Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra Pa ra pa pa pa ra pa pa Pa ra pa pa ra pa pa ra Pa ra pa pa pa p-pa pa pa

"You built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic" This line. This one line has described pretty much my entire life. While I was going through the most dark time of my life, I convinced myself I was okay. That I was normal. Because I was so ashamed of myself. I pretended my anxiety wasn't as bad as it really was. I pretended my depressive episodes were normal. I focused so much on other people(my ex friends) because I wanted to uphold this delusion that I was okay, that I was in any place to be that therapist friend, when I really wasn't. *I* needed that help. *I* needed that comfort. *I* needed to be told it was all going to be okay and that they were there for me. Even though that wasn't the case for those ex friends, now I have friends who are really there for me. Friends I can have fun with. Friends that don't make fun of me for being emotional or sensitive. They embrace me with open arms and they accept me for who I truly am. Thank you, to those friends and my dearest older brother and my precious dog. You saved my life. That is no exaggeration. (I am in a better place now and I'm getting better. I'm learning to accept myself and cope with my anxiety. I'm in a far better place than when I used to be so please don't worry about me too much. I'm better than I've ever been and I'm getting where I want to be.)

I thought it was about living in your dreams but Hayley wanted to live reality and she buries the castle with all of the magical things that are not real

[@White_Gravvy]

I thought it was her growing up and leaving her childish thoughts and make believe worlds behind.

[@haleycarter6152]

This song reminds me of; when having a tramatic event in childhood, causing a lost sense of reality, and then growing up with reality slapping you in the face with all the bad memories coming back into play. The castle being buried represents , burying your memories, and when the castle is no longer buried your memories keep coming back.

[@MattyT_86]

Makes it sound like certain traumatic events are being avoided - we can't keep that kind of thing locked up, under layer upon layer of stone-cold hardiness. It comes out eventually, somehow, some way.

I loved how the colors helped represent the two sides of the story in the music video. like Hayley was in the magical fantasy land and the little girl 's world then fell apart causing her to be burried. to me, the song is about the loss of child like innocence, hence Hayley burring the girl and throwing the toy towards the hole

[@yuinyan3387]

I rather thought the 'castle' represented the scary and dark things, as it made the little girl cry and run away, and that the little girl represents 'Hayley's past', and thus the act of 'burying the castle' symbolizes burying all the negative things from the past in order to live in the now and be positive.
