Hayley Williams on the lyrics of “Simmer”:

“A while ago I went to this cranial sacral masseuse. I was laying on her table and I started having these weirdly creepy visions of flowers growing out of me. And not in a kind of beautiful way, it was kind of painful and very grotesque. But I kinda realized in that moment that there was a lot that was trying to grow out of me but it was gonna hurt to do it.

And I think for me it’s somewhat of a mantra to try to stay soft in a really really hard world. And feel pain and feel everything, like let all of it come to you and try to put out something that can redeem it all, even if it’s ugly at first.

The lyric is “wrap yourself in petals for armor” because I kept feeling like the way for me to protect myself best is to be vulnerable and be okay with having a lot of pain at certain times and also feeling a lot of joy at certain times. As long as I’m staying soft to those things and I’m open to letting those things in and out of me. Then I can actually survive the world a lot easier than if I stay hard and stay with my fists up all the time.“
