The lyrics to "Paperface" tell the true story (inasmuch as it was related to Cuomo) of an ex-classmate of Cuomo's personal problems. The song is very characteristic of Cuomo's [[Avant Garde|earlier]] [[Fury|music styles]], as it is basically a heavy metal rock song. Cuomo screams several times on both released versions of this song. However, the breakdown of the song is very indicative of Cuomo's future song writing styles, as seen in songs like [[Holiday]] and [[Lullaby for Wayne]]. A notable whisper of "scratch check, momma, scratch check momma" begins the ''Alone II'' version. | The lyrics to "Paperface" tell the true story (inasmuch as it was related to Cuomo) of an ex-classmate of Cuomo's personal problems.

"Paperface" has been received very well by fans. It is fairly obscure, and has only significantly been received by Weezer's more die-hard fan base, but is still well-liked. It received recognition in "The Very Best" category of [[Teenage Victory Songs]], a Weezer songblog. It is often asserted, however, that Paperface is a song that Weezer "could never perform today." | "Paperface" has been received very well by fans.
