    the pantaloon is about going through the adolescence era and realising that getting older is just another phase that won't make a difference in your life.

    Fun fact: so I'm traveling with my family and we were visiting my grandma's old friends; they were talking about how everything started hurting them when they got older (because of arthritis) and how they've lost so many friends over time. So I was just in the corner having a mini existential crisis about growing old. This video really helped, thanks!

    Woah I actually never thought about it that way. I always though the pantaloon was the voice of society and pressure. (it seems too on the nose and dramatic) like for the first verse maybe the grandfather killed himself or I guess it works w other things like that, but all the adults in Tyler's life told him that he lost his mind (and thy was how he died. Then in the second verse Tyler's dad tell him he need to to get a wife and build a home. Both are pressuring him to be normal and to not think the way he does. Then by the end, Tyler has listened to them for so long that he starts to pressure himself and he becomes the pantaloon. But now that I listened to yours/ it makes so much more sense! 😂

    Thank you!! They played Pantaloon last night at the Schott and I was curious about its meaning.. Tyler mentioned it was about his grandfather!

  • @AceMusicFreak
    @AceMusicFreak Pƙed 7 lety +5

    I think the grandpa part is not that Tyler himself made the discovery but that his grandpa told him those amazing stories and his parents or whomever had to destroy his fantasies and tell him that he can't trust his grandpa because he's crazy. But Tyler actually feels this way already because his mind doesn't work like anybody else's and people think he's crazy so I don't think he's writing as this old person character but that he projects what he saw happening to his grandpa when he was a kid to how he feels now.

    And I'm sorry you missed out on Tour de Columbus! I went (my first TØP concert), and it was AMAZING! If you haven't seen them live, you need to!

  • @dylanneal9470
    @dylanneal9470 Pƙed 7 lety

    I also think that the meaning of a chair now line is talking about The Pantaloon's isolation (being a tiny island in a sea of people). I think that it's like he's being completely ignored and nobody takes any notice of him or goes out of their way to ask what's wrong or anything. It reminds me of an old song from a musical I saw a long time ago. The song was called "Mr Cellophane" and the most prominent line of the song is "you can look right through me, walk right by me (something like that) and never know I'm there".

    I know I’m about 1 year behind here but I feel like “you like to sleep alone/ it’s colder than you know/cause your skin so used to colder bones/it’s warmer in the morning/than what it is at night/your bones are held together by your nightmares and your fright” is a reference to Sundown Syndrome which is common for people with dementia suffer. The syndrome causes people to get disoriented and scared in the evening. Maybe I’m way off.

    ●Smithereens
    ●Cut my lip
    And practically the whole album of Trench,
    Um... The whole album Vessel, All of Regional at best, Blurryface, all of their albums realy. You know what would be awesome? Just a song were Josh Dunn sings and Tyler does the drums! Ha

      dewd this connects to legend a bit. we feel this is about an elder with perhaps alzhiemers. In legend there was a quote "when your eyes did not know me like I know you". of course that was meant for his grandfather. I think his grandfather had alzhiemers around when Tyler wrote this and he finally died of it.

      cate engle Fall Away has lots of religious ties to it. The song explains how he knows the people in America are VERY sinful and asking God to shine his light on him so he won't go to hell. When he says 'I will keep the lights on in this place' he means that he will try to spread the gospel around. When he sings 'I don't Wanna fall away' he's basically saying ' God, please don't cast me away'

    For All you guys wondering what fake you out is about, It's very similar to Screen where he is saying he has been pretending that he is fine but he is broken on the inside. When he says ' I'm so afraid of what you have to say, cuz I am quiet now and silence gives you space' He saying he wants to fake how he really feels inside because he is afraid of what the public/fans will say to his inner problems
