Background[]

Hayley Williams said she "chose the title "Decode" because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward. Bella's mind is the only one which Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better."

The official music video premiered on November 3, 2008 on MTVu, MTV, MTV2 and on MTV.com and was directed by Shane Drake. The video features the band members walking and performing in the woods, in Nashville, Tennessee (even though in the video, it is clearly supposed to be Forks, Washington). While they play, there are also scenes of the band acting as tracker vampires searching through the woods. There are also scenes showing the wind blowing through Williams' hair (which is red in color). Scenes from Twilight are also inter cut. The music video, along with the film trailer, were shown in the North American theater of PlayStation Home from December 11, 2008 to December 18, 2008.

Lyrics[]

How can I decide what's right? When you're clouding up my mind I can't win your losing fight all the time How can I ever own what's mine When you're always taking sides But you won't take away my pride No not this time Not this time How did we get here? Well I used to know you so well How did we get here? Well I think I know The truth is hiding in your eyes And its hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood But you think that I can't see What kind of man that you are If you're a man at all Well I will figure this one out On my own I'm screaming, I love you so On my own My thoughts you can't decode How did we get here? Well I used to know you so well, yeah How did we get here? Well I think I know Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools of ourselves Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools of ourselves Yeah How did we get here? Well I used to know you so well, yeah yeah How did we get here? Well I used to know you so well I think I know I think I know Ooh, there is something I see in you It might kill me I want it to be true

Trivia[]

  • Aside from being well known as one of the theme songs for Twilight, Decode is also known amongst fans as one of the band's most difficult songs to sing.
    • As well, Decode is also known as one of the many songs which showcase Hayley Williams' vocal talent.
    • That being said, it is a joke amongst fans that Decode is a song that was written only for Hayley for the reason that she is the only one that 'nails' it.
  • Decode is the most viewed Paramore song on Youtube currently at 337 million views.
  • This song was performed by Jena Irene in the 13th season of American Idol. She also performed Ain't It Fun with Paramore in the same season.
