Last month, Paramore roared back to life with "monster", the first song that they have released since the rather acrimonious departure of founding members Josh and Zac Farro in December.

In the piece, Hayley Williams seems to be singing for , but the Farros (Josh in particular) and how Paramore are without them. But if the song focuses on interpersonal relationships that cause a band to disintegrate (and subsequently to return together), well, then the video - which just created on MTV.com - seems to be on the band itself. Or, more specifically, the band as a kind of machine, which never stops and that seems designed to churn continuously by members. In this case, it is the monster. And it must be nurtured.

Or something like that. Because the "Monster" video is a huge Möbius strip, an endless loop that begins and ends in the same exact location. We follow the band as they make their way through a damaged Hospital (a facility which recalls the opening of "28 days" later), constantly harassed and threatened by gnashing and wailing of another version of Paramore, it trapped in a room, trying desperately to escape. Attempts - thrashing against the walls, crush on floor - cause lift and hold and funnel Williams, guitarist Taylor York Hospital and bassist Jeremy Davis in a dark corridor, a corner low and, possibly, directly in the room where their former me were trapped. Only now, the room is empty except for some instruments and a microphone. As the video comes to an end, we are left to wonder if the whole scenario is poised to play once more.

It seems as if the video is alluded to the fact that the bands are, by their very nature, put in place at the failure, which, regardless of how closely knit that its members are subsequently, because of the distance and stress and all the issues of disease, things start to decompose and the cycle will play out infinite ad. It is not exactly the most uplifting story, but this is certainly an honest representation of the internal workings of the music machine.

Then, perhaps I am just reading into things too much. Perhaps what we see is Paramore break the cycle, but I do not. After all, since the split with the Farros, Paramore were nothing if not honest on their individual shortcomings and pressures encountered. And, with the "Monster", they seem to take this opening to new levels: they may have been through a disaster, but certainly, there will be another one lurking around the corner.
