Paramore on the denial phase of an unwinding bubble

I don't mind lettin' you down easy, but just give it time
If it don't hurt now, a-just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feedin' on

Where you're from, you might be the one who's running things
Well, you could ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See, it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?

Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
Ain't it good
Bein' all alone?

~ Paramore, "Ain't It Fun" (2014)
