"She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the 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
Ba da ba ba da ba ba pow
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 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
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"

The songwriter and singer, Hayley Williams, describes the song as about "people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they're living a fantasy life ... you never know where you're standing in the real world." We follow this interpretation, presenting a literal represenation of this fantasy life. We present the story in a context similar to that of Alice in Wonderland and other fairy tales, as the firl or princess of our video flicks through a book of pictures and imagines herself in this fantasy scenario. However, the prince leaves the princess, and she throws away the fantasy objects such as her crown and palace, and she is left alone. The prince returns once she has removed herself from her make-belief lifestyle and they ultimately live happily ever after, presenting the idea that reality is far more beneficial than a fake lifestyle.
