The song "Brick By Boring Brick" by Paramore describes a woman who has built an imaginary fantasy world to escape her difficult real life. The lyrics say she lives in a "fairy tale" and has forgotten her past. She has built "a world of magic" and ripped wings off butterflies. However, the narrator wants her to face reality and uses a shovel to "bury the castle" and dig herself out of her fantasies. The song encourages keeping "feet on the ground" instead of having one's "head in the clouds."
