awesome vid broski!
Brraaad my guy!! Thanks for watching! Still getting used to your verified check mark!
Just Brad casually Stanning over here no biggie
paid to hype
I expected this video to be interesting, but it got even better while watching it!
Ey ey
I think it’s interesting that Jenna has a YELLOW phone and Tyler has a red one. She’s outside of dema and because yellow symbolizes hope this could be a metaphor for how Jenna is Tyler’s hope and encouragement that motivates him to escape
Also, Josh's drums had yellow tape and he had yellow drumsticks
The amount of detail put into the live show is astonishing.
@@manicmanatee the drum stick is the Twenty One Pilots logo it is a symbol for the trench album or maybe Clancy is in the concert (livestream)
OMG THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLE, I LOVE YOUR IDEA
YESSS
When my 8 year old son heard Heathens this way, he said “Daddy, he changed it, to make it quieter and more beautiful”
That is freakin precious!
Wow! Hi, The Fold! I'm your fan!
@@lenivoesushestvo so nice to hear ❤️
Favorite songs during the stream too, I agree with your son!
Hey Dan, big fan of your music :D
It's a pleasure seeing you alongside the cliquies
When Tyler Joseph goes and invents a universe that rivals marvel with all of its connections and meanings. 💁🏼♀️
It's so deep and complex and draws me in just as much as Marvel!
Oh I wish they would make a movie out of this story. 🥺
@@reka9235 they kinda did 😅
@@TylerAlexis yesss. Truee. I just wish they would make a full lenght cinematic movie one day. :3
@@reka9235 you never know! 😉
I find it extremely interesting that during Mulberry Street everyone was frozen. It had that WandaVision vibe. And then all of a sudden, when the bridge kicked in when the deep voice joins Tyler singing “Mulberry Street, so good to see you,” that is when all the people start moving. Since the deep voice is Blurryface, it’s just a cool idea that his voice can control everyone in dema.
That's incredible attention to detail
That’s really interesting! Good job pointing that out, I would’ve never thought of that 😂
Лично меня очень сильно затронули строки «When times aren't the best, and I'm on the edge I'll listen for a song in the distant». Мне кажется, они отсылают слушателя к песням Trench и возможно к кусочку "Sahlo Folina". И именно поэтому в песне после этих строк на заднем фоне слышно возмущение людей, из-за которого Тайлер поспешно старается перевести тему, говоря «Mulberry street, so good to see you». Мне кажется, этим он отводил внимание, или что-то такое. Забавно, что на стриме когда он пел эти строки « Mulberry street, so good to see you» можно услышать его недовольный сарказм. Блин, как же я люблю эту группу. Спасибо, что заинтересовались и решили перевести это сообщение, просите, я не очень хорош в английском.
Blurryface is Nico so yeah
Like in pet cheetah, "I wanna stop time"
I think Nico and the Niners might tell the plan for this live stream. "Force a sponsor and start a concert, a complete diversion, start a mob and you can be quite certain. We'll win but not everyone will get out". Album = sponsored by DEMA. Concert = live stream. Diversion = everyone was distracted with the concert until the alarm went off. We'll win but not everyone will get out = The diversion was successful because someone (maybe Clancy) made it out, but Tyler is still trapped.
but clancy is dead, ain't he?
This is perfect
@@gorje_8 I think he's still alive! Since SAI is propaganda from DEMA, the whole "Clancy is Dead" anagram is meant to trick people so they don't believe that he was able to escape!
@@LukeParodiMusic but the anagram was a secret message that only the banditos will catch?
good theory !
Love how they basically released an entire album as a teaser/part of the rollout for the actual next album
actual next album?? wdym
@@mire757 if this is considered propaganda (esp now after more letters from clancy) there’s def gonna be another album when they’re finally out
@@paigedesimone6252 yes, i totally get what you're saying. it'll be interesting to see the shift from the sound and aesthetic of SAI to whatever the new album is.
Welcome back to Trench
i noticed that during the second verse of lane boy they started playing nico and the niners but weren't able to play the whole song because it has the lyric "dema don't control us" in it - while the show was controlled by dema
i hadn't noticed that the first time i watched , but i checked it again afterwards and yeah ! it fucking gave me chills
AND they skipped the nico verse in morph too!
But i really do think he could've played it because he played jumpsuit, which is one of the songs for rebellion
@@DAWNOFHIM counld you tell me please, where can i watch thr whole version of this show?
@OA Gaia Mom I'm afraid I won't be able to see it, cuz it won't be in our country and language. Do you think it'll be available on the internet?
Lets all take a moment to admire tyler and his amazing story telling abilities. This man isn't just an artist. He's a story teller, a producer, a sonwgriter, a vocalist and the author of not just this story, but of all the music, all the details, the letters, the numbers. This man literally spends all of his time planning out eveyr single detail. Not a single stone is unturned when it comes to the possibilites he has when it comes to the lure of the music. This man has done it all.
so well said
Here’s something you might have not caught on. On saturday you can see the 2 bishops telling tyler “remember the collection?” since tyler was playing TOO many old songs not from the Scaled and Icy collection they told him to stop and remember the collection, which then tyler makes a facial expression of “fine i’ll do it” and starts singing the most “fake” and “generic” song of the album, saturday, one of the most perfect representation of the masked good dema is trying to portray
wow im impressed
omg this is spot on
Yeah i believe this song might have been made by dema to distract the citizens of dema of the thought of escaping.
Maybe saturday is THE propaganda song. A distraction essentially
OMG that is SO TRUE! And before that, maybe that's why the bishops look so beaten up after a sequence of Heathens (Clique), Trees (God and clique), Jumpsuit (anthem for the banditos) and Heavy Dirty Soul. That's why they cut the sequence and look more like themselves in this moment than in the entire livestream. So they have to threaten and remember Tyler about the true purpose of the live.
I feel like Scaled and Icy is Tyler Joseph being like, 'I can make your propaganda, and people will still like it'. Because there are so many generic songs, but they also subtly hint at the mind control stuff, like the chorus of "Outside".
Confession: I’ve always ignored this stuff, and taken his lyrics at face value. This video was my gateway drug, I’ve officially been redpilled.
Same
same
Welcome to the darkside. Mwuahahaha
SO GLAD YOU DECIDED TO JOIN. You'll have fun with the Trench Era's lore, that's where I think it was at its strongest.
SJFJFKDKFKCKK THE FOLD IS HERE??? Mr. Castady, you surprise me more every day... :0
this aged like wine after Overcompensate came out and Clancy was announced
Yes! Looking back, my main correction is that Tyler IS Clancy. It’s pretty crazy that they outright confirmed this a couple weeks ago.
noticed that every song that has a scream in it gets cut or the hosts show up. in holding on to you, when tyler screams, the bishops cut it off, in shy away, Tyler screamed and the bishopes showed up and lastly, in jumpsuit/hds, the bishops also showed up with f'd up faces and after car radio, instead of showing the bishops' faces, an alarm occurred. i think the alarm tellls Tyler that the performance needs to end immediately because they are coming for them
maybe because they say to stay low
@@bruna7686 stay low they say
urnansa neek stay low
@@bruna7686 they say stay in your lane boy, lane boy, but we go where we want to
I think the alarm was because The Banditos had been spotted in the city
it is incredible how even though it was an online concert, i had an adrenaline rush after the live experience, just like i normally have with a concert. like how the FUCK did they do that???? the story, the choice of songs, TYLERS HAIR, the choreos, the rooms, the amazingly sung songs........ it was so so f-ing good. it was so much more than i expected. and i cant wait to see them irl. this album is a BOP
also im loving your take on the lore in the livestream
man i felt the exact same way!
So well said. Everyone is rushing back to doing live shows as soon as possible, but they really hunkered down and dreamt this up… It truly is high art!
@@TheFoldMusic It is!!!
I cried and had goosebumps
Really? You like his hair? What do you like about it?
Bro cooked and the pilots ATE, 2 years later and Clancy is not dead🔥
I think the snow has something to do with the bishop Reisdro. His button in the control room is white.
The tempatuREISDROpping frome the song Doubt ⚪❄️ and icy has mabye had something to with that to.
WHOA great catch!!
@@MenacingThreat 😊💗💙
That’s really good! My first thought went to Oh Ms Believer but I think this is too wild for scaled and icy ALTHOUGH I have seen people connect „I feel my saturation leaving“ and the cover of the Self titled album 🙈
@@anneklier4777 oh yes it has to have a connection with the self titled album.
"Paint the town" of Dema with Tyler saturated lyrics on the walls (inside the lyrics experience) 😊
Lyrics from doubt
Temperature is dropping, temperature is dropping
I'm not sure if I can see this ever stopping
Shaking hands with the dark parts of my thoughts, no
You are all that I've got, no
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Even when I doubt you
I'm no good without you, no, no, no, no, no
Gnawing on the bishops, claw our way up their system
Repeating simple phrases, someone holy insisted
I want the markings made on my skin
To mean something to me again
Hope you haven't left…
I don't know if anybody else caught this but when the bishops cut off twenty one pilots I'm pretty sure they constantly say the album is "full of saturation" and "dripping with saturation", but the first words we hear on the entire album are "I can feel my saturation leaving me slowly".
Edit: Also, Fun Fact: in the play All My Sons (the play Tyler got the name twenty one pilots from) they made their aircraft parts in Ohio. Oh and the lead character kills himself at the end.
bold theory but saturation is an anagram of Outran SAI (+t); the host bischops name keeps alternating (the t turns into a different letter)... idk just coins\cidence probably
I dont if I consider that a fun fact...
@@verar4736 what do you mean the names kept alternating?
I was wondering what saturation meant, cause Tyler says it kindof sadly, but it could be a positive if saturated is what the bishops want people to see Dema as. Hmmm...
Tyler is an absolute genius for creating the lore for Scaled and Icy. It's beautifully crafted.
Also fun fact: the double loop in o indicates that its a lie
Why ?
@@michalsam8183 huge inner loops that cross signify that the person is lying.. it normally has something to do with handwriting i think..for example: do you know the movie coraline? Where the fake mom gives coraline a cake that says "welcome home".. the o in welcome is normal whereas the o in hone has a double loop, showing that coraline is not at home in the other world
where’s the double loop?
@@adriana4793 The song title “Good Day” has looped “o’s” (on the CD) and we all know that the lyrics contradict the song title
oh my gosh that's so smart
a thing to notice is that they always play "Trees" at the end of the show but here they didn't do that
or they coundt do that..
I absolutely noticed that!
if they played the actual version of trees, that probably would’ve represented them breaking free of dema, and we know they didn’t lmao
I think Tyler has been quoted saying they will never close a show with another song... so I actually yelled at him when he started it. My family made me hush because it was beautiful. Lol
I think they do trees in person because he can see everyone looking back at him. I was surprised but could understand him keeping that for live shows..
I read a comment somewhere about how during any sai song Tyler and Josh were on the "wrong" sides. Tyler is normally on the right and Josh on the left during performances and promo pics, but for anything sai, they were swapped. And it held true for the livestream event as well. I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it does make everything feel a bit off, and I thought it was cool they paid that close attention to detail.
Edit: mixed up my rights and lefts originally bc wow...
In shy away josh was on the right, good theory though
@@TheSeppies wait, I think I mixed up my rights and lefts in my comment (was I thinking stage right and stage left? Am I just dumb? We will never know). Tyler is normally on the right, so josh being on the right during shy away was odd and different.
Yes!! Also at the end of the livestream, as the credits roll, Tyler and Josh switch positions there! I thought this theory was kinda weak, but you bring up a good point in how Josh is always to the left of Tyler when the audience is facing the stage.
Also, we know that "Josh" in the Choker MV has the power to transmutate (i.e. change his dog and Tyler into figurines). Definitely something sus about "Josh"
Also, didn't Josh make it out of Dema with the Bandito's?
@@Resonosity you suggesting a “fake” (or simulated) Josh?
Me watching this when my fav song is Mulberry Street 👁👄👁
Out of all the songs on the album i find that Mulberry Street keeps getting stuck in my head! All of a sudden im doing dishing singing the song or at the grocery store humming the tune of Mulberry Street 😂🤣
Same
YES me toooo
@Мария Тихонова letss gooo
When Jenna and Tyler are talking on the phone we can see that Jenna’s phone is yellow, which is the rebel colour in the album Trench, while Tyler’s phone is red, which reminded me of Blurryface and I think that it symbolises Tyler is a prisoner of Dema and the bishops, and Jenna is kinda his savior, just as in the song Tear In My Heart.
idk what it could mean but you know, in this era they switched places on stage/photos (josh on the right, tyler on the left) so when they play SAI songs the instruments are in that position but when they play older songs they go back to their usual places (josh on the left, tyler on the right)
When you referred that when the alarm went off it was like someone tried to escape it automatically reminded me of "A complete diversion", like the show was held so the bishops would do their propaganda show, but at the same time TOP had a second intention (maybe Clancy running away and escaping). I recently posted on reddit how Bounce Man reminds me of Tyler speaking to someone in need of help, so he could help him out with some things and he would disappear for good. Clancy seems the perfect character for this escaping, since the bishops want to make him (and possibly fake his death) as an example since his failed escape from Dema
Wait, what the... "force a sponsor and start a concert, a complete diversion, start a mob and you can be quite certain. We'll win but not everyone will get out". Literally the freaking plan for the live stream 😲. Album = sponsored by DEMA. Concert = live stream. Not everyone will get out = someone (maybe Clancy) made it out, it Tyler is still trapped.
I thought about this too... except, I heard Tyler in an interview say he wanted to give us (fans/audience) an escape. The wording in that part of the interview was interesting. And it stood out. And during the show, I felt like the show was a diversion for me/us to make the escape, but he looked like he knew HE was trapped... I took it personal and it warmed my heart.
@@stressbucket9846 That's such a cool way to think about it, he's releasing us but nothing is changing for him. I just saw cinema experience so this stuff is brand new to me.
I was thinking the alarms simbolyised banditos re-entering dema to rescue Tyler, which is why he's calm, and everyone else is freaking out
Knowing what we know now, I like this theory!
@@Stolen.Potential also going back through and re watching the Livestream, we see a lot of the hints at red, from random moments on stage, to the lamps in mulberry street
watching this two years later is insane
RIGHT
Like the part where "the hosts are the bishops" actually meaning that the hosts were killed during the livestream then controlled by those two bishops. Crazy!
I think all the lyrics of the album are wrote with Clancy’s handwriting in walls and letters when you go to the “Inside the lyrics” site
yeah me too
The inside the lyrics was weird the building it was in could be like a prison or something
@@bakeymykakey some are saying that Clancy is imprisoned in one of those DEMA towers and is writing the song lyrics on the wall that we see in the "Inside the Lyrics" site.
@ewolfgirl
maybe this proves that clancy is still alive
@@cryx8390 It's looking more and more like he is! Since 'SAI=Clancy is Dead' and 'SAI is propaganda' according to the Christmas package. I think Jake is correct in that we will start getting more cryptic messages from Clancy going forward. That blew my mind when he said the numbers on the doors on Mulberry St (livestream) is the 404 error code that allowed access to Clancy's writings. Craziness, y'all! 😅
There's another Rosie reference by the way. The curtains behind the fire escape Tyler climbs have roses on them :)
Also isn’t “rosie’s” a reference to Tyler’s daughter?
@@isabelamoore337 Yeah that ones mentioned in the video although not explained that it's a reference to his daughter.
I also find it interesting how the hosts kept saying that the album was so saturated but all the posters and stuff were very desaturated. And a bit of a stretch that the original logo colours of tøp were red and dark blue has been desaturated to baby pink and baby blue.
if you lower the saturation of red and blue the colors of scaled and icy come out
also the literal first lyric of the whole album is Tyler singing 'I can feel my saturation leaving me slowly' like that raises so many questions personally
Holy shit! I just realized that the colors were desaturated versions of the original, this is awesome!
The livestream was so fun Tyler and Josh really outdid themselves Another thing I found interesting was at the most climactic parts of the live stream when Tyler was performing was when the ad for the shirts and then that corner one kept coming up idk if it’s a stretch but I found it interesting
another thing I found interesting was that Dan and Sally did not mention any of the other songs from previous albums but only referred to scaled and icy as if they were trying to rewrite history. Or at least stop the real music from being spoken about ( if we consider scaled and icy was written by Dema this would make sense because Tyler can’t outright talk against it)
DIdn't they mention stressed out right at the start?
@@FunkyFerretJr yes but I’m talking about like They only referring to only the album and stressed out. But really they only did it once and I have only seen it once but I keep remembering that they worded it oddly like as if scaled and icy was the only album
@@Bella_loves_music They also kept calling scaled and icy a classic and classics are usually the older music. also when tyler is cut off from singing holding onto you sacarver and lisden say that they dont play music like this on the radio anymore like they're trying to remove any trace of previous music for the public in dema to find
@@morbidlonging Yes! that is exactly what I meant I found it so odd. Because normally Vessel, self titled and even Blurryface could be considered 'Classics' but Scaled and Icy was only released weeks ago. Which is why I feel that Dema was trying to rewrite history so people would not be aware of the music where they talk against Dema
can you send a link to the full live video please
“Rent a race horse and force a sponsor
And start a concert, a complete diversion”
Horse in Jumpsuit
Chipotle Sponsor
Live concert to serve as a diversion for Clancy’s escape
It’s all coming together 🤨
And then there’s “we’ll win but not everyone will get out”
😬😬😬
The table in shy away might be a reference to “The Last Supper” painting.
They are Christians too so
That can indicate that there is a traitor amidst.
@@griseldag8813 possibly Josh. Since in the Choker video he captures Tyler...
Watching this after watching I Am Clancy 🤯 Damn near spot on my guy! I had to keep reminding myself that this was 2 years ago
Crazy, right! The seeds were planted so early on!
@Stolen.Potential I'm always so impressed with you and the Clique's brains. Lol Mine doesn't work that way 😅 Brilliant 🤌🏾
Good Day Dema's logo is directly inspired by the original Good Morning America logo (from the 70's). It's the same font, most obvious by the slanted A and the overlapping o's (although in the GMA logo these O's are colourful). The Good Day Dema set is also meant to look like a living room, just like GMA originally was set to look like a living room although I'm not sure if that is a particularly identifying feature of GMA or was a common talk show design at the time.
The living room may have some significance because in The Hype music video, the music video starts and ends with them being in the living room. Plus there is a Dema picture hanging on the wall.
Really well put together
I personally think trash represents destruction obviously he has it written on him but also “I created this world to feel control destroy it if it want” obviously Ned represents Tyler’s creative side so trash being a dragon just really makes me think he is destruction
Thought about that too... maybe Trash is the Key to Escape(destroy) from dema, but the bishops get him back every Time and make a little toy out of him(also Josh did as a dema slave in choker)
As long as trash is not free, Tyler can't escape either, so he searches for a Way to free him like his try in choker.
And *WHAT IF* Trash=Clancy!? Im going crazy over my own theory right now🤣
The Alarm starts at the livestream... someone tried to escape... a little Trash Toy on the floor... bishops stopped him?!
Aaaaahhh
@@nadinomusic that’s a lot of good points I didn’t think of
@@nadinomusic if you looked closely at the eyes of Dan and Sally at the third time they appeared, they appear similar to Anakin Skywalker in Ep. 3 when he gets burned.
This would mean the hosts got burned, and who else breathes fire?
Yep, a dragon
@@nadinomusic that was my thought too. That Clancy is trash.
Fun Fact: The initial cut of this upload featured a ton of video clips from the livestream, however CZcams is really coming down on any CZcams upload with footage of the feature performance event, so I had to re-edit the entire thing and had to use screenshots instead. Oh well, I still think it's fun to look at all the easter eggs within the event!
☕ Buy me a Coffee? ► www.buymeacoffee.com/jakealan
Dude I know the pain. The orginal verson of my Josh is Keons theory video had a clip of Dan And Sally asking where Josh was in the beginning and it got blocked. I feel the pain
@@JLAnderson_Music Being a twenty one pilots creator is the WORST sometimes!
I totally love your analysis but if SAI is propaganda by dema, why does the new logo is the East Is Up symbol ?
@@aurbcd1 it's not, it's a Sai, like the weapon, but also as an acronym for Scaled and Icy. Also it's probably the Bishops trying to look relatable for the Banditos to lure them in but also totally missing the point of the East is Up simbol
I loved the live so much, you can really tell how much thought Tyler and Josh put into the performance for us. Honestly the more easter eggs the better, we always have to watch out now in live streams and in the music videos to catch these tiny little things. Sometimes like many I miss a lot, so thanks for making a video like this. You defiantly spotted some that I didn't and its so cool. 👍🏻✌🏻
In the mountain scene, there are 9 chairs, 1 for each bishop, Tyler jumps on the table and jumps on the plates and breaks stuff nodding to trying to destroy the bishops
It could also be him daydreaming because when he first got up to sing, the hosts froze as if the singing was happening in a different reality than the one in which they were talking, and the real reality resumes when he sits back down from his daydream. Also, if it had been the morning show, he would have only performed stressed out, not an entire concert
another thing that could possibly point to clancy still being alive is the lyrics in shy away, “When I get home
You better not be there, we're placing bets you won't” there’s multiple ways you could put that towards clancy, both in a negative and positive way
The livestream was amazing, even if you didn't know any of the Dema stuff. But yes, there were lots of hints about the narrative. One thing you didn't mention is how, as the livestream continued, there were more and more people added to the band, and they were wearing jumpsuits that had Tyler's hourglass tattoo on them, but also had the Dema logo on them. It's like the bishops needed more and more oversight to watch Tyler. Before Lane Boy, when you hear "Why do I kneel to these concepts?" and the rest of that lead-in, the mouth on the Bishops appears to be Tyler's mouth, as if he's the one actually saying those things. Or maybe it confirms that this is in his head. Then when Lane Boy starts, the neon lights make a fence, and that's when they have several more band members. After the two hosts/bishops say "No chances" and that they're sending more people, THAT's when there are MANY more people in the band, including back-up singers. Also, the symbolism of fire and water is used extensively - the bucket, the pond/boat, the torch, the burning car. I like your idea that the scene where Tyler is screaming "Entertain my Faith!" was related to "The Matrix," but I think that looked more like water.... These are symbols of change and baptism. And it was often after water/fire scenes that the bishops looked more beat up. I agree that "Clancy is Dead" is a lie. I also agree that Josh isn't in Dema. Thanks so much for this video!!
i love this! do you know anywhere i can rewatch the live ?
So after scenes that could have something to do with holy cleansing and basically christian imagery the bishops of the fake religion look more beat up. That's pretty interesting. I feel like older songs were much more overt about his religion, so this touch is pretty nice imo.
@@vlvtmnky1142 I do not. I recorded portions of it with my phone - it's crappy, but I have been able to rewatch.
@@julieannelovesbooks Yes. There's also a moment after the first song in the livestream ("Choker") where a bright light suddenly shines from above. It's when Tyler sings "And the rear view only blinds you." Tyler looks up at the bright light above him, but then squints and closes his eyes. (It "blinds" him.) That's when the bishops suddenly come into the set and grab Tyler and take him away from that light. I think maybe that's a veiled message about God and the bishops wanting to keep you away from Him. Also, the first time the "Good Day Dema" hosts interrupt Tyler and switch to a commercial is when he's screaming "Entertain My Faith!!" I don't think faith is the main message behind the Dema storyline, but it's definitely part of it.
@@VanetaRogers1 oh yeah that’s a good one!!
I noticed that Tyler looked up a lot during the livestream, mostly during some lyrics in Lane Boy and some other songs, like 'don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless'. Firstly these lyrics are so important for this album cause they all seem like perfect songs and he's basically saying please don't trust it, cause it's propaganda. More than that, the looking up made me think he was talking to the banditos in his head, like he was hoping they would be there watching over him (like in Jumpsuit)...
East is Up
Ok but what if, the reason Josh isn't in the beginning or end, is because he was at the awards ceremony when they won most dedicated fan base????
the black things that you described as masks is actually black paint, you can see their mouths when they move them
hm, i guess they're true bishops
I think it’s like a parallel to blurryface
I thought they were shadows at the time, could be either.
@@cryx8390 they are! they’re listed as Dan Lisden and Sally Sacarver in the credits which are names of two bishops
That would also explain why in between set changes of each song tyler kept smirking at the camera cuz he knew what was coming
YES!
yesss the livestream felt so wandavision-y (in many aspects... everything being colorful and fun and seemingly perfect, but reality breaking into it here and there, ad intermissions, different styles/ genres being explored), so interesting
What I love besides how AMAZING the livestream was, is that someone who is new to the lore could still enjoy the show and music clueless to the other things going on. 🙋♀️
I feel like since there are 9 towers and 9 bishops, each bishop lives within each tower, the bigger the tower the stronger the bishop. Just a thought I had after relearning all the lore yesterday:)
I theorize that the point of capture to have been the towers of silence for Tyler and Clancy. My evidence is the setting of Inside the Lyrics page. Also, going by the Dema info we have, Tyler explained the theology of Vialism in an official discord interview to be the act of suicide that the Bishops glorify. Your theory that Clancy is the one that escaped makes perfect sense. Considering that the lyrics of Redecorate go against the act of suicide just explains how whoever wrote it defied Vialism and has the will to escape Dema.
Your point about Vialism is very interesting because on the live twenty one pilots website there’s a small black book/pamphlet laying over the nine bishop circles titled “Vialism”
The livestream was impressive as hell. I shared a lot of your theories and spent a lot of this video playing snap with you and that’s more evidence for me that we are correct as lots of us came up with these. Lots of new cool ideas here as well. Amazing video as always man! Keep it up. Can’t wait for more of the story to be fleshed out. One more album connected to the dema storyline then a new story to get stuck into. Scaled and icy is definitely that in between record Tyler was hinting at
You forgot to mention around 5:00 -
The monologue/dialogue in this part ("Why do I kneel to these concepts, tempted by control, controlled by temptation, stay low they say" etc) is the same dialogue used in the lane boy music video and is also played over the speakers when they perform lane boy live. It's a cool little segment!
Someone has mentioned that the "stars" in 8:25 could be representing the clique. Think of how the clique shine their phone flashlights in real life concerts during, for example, Trees. And how it looks all together - little star like dots in the stadium.
And another thing - the lyrics "They want to make you forget" during nico and the niners. Think of how in the livestream, when the clique is showed in videos, their faces are all blurry and distorted. Like Tyler is slowly forgetting the clique.
Finally, Bounce Man could be about Ned. Tyler mentioned in an interview that he hasn't been able to contact Ned. ("I-I-I don't know if you've got your phone'/ Cause this went straight to voicemail"). We can also see a "missing" poster of Ned in one of the store windows ("And my wife saw your face on the nightly news"). Music video for Chlorine was filmed in Mexico ("Float you a couple bands, then you head to Mexico" and "If you don't reply/ I'll know you must have crossed state lines")
Yes! I agree with all of this, and I hadn't thought about the blurry clique + "they want to make you forget". Some further evidence for the Ned thing: Didn't Tyler say in an interview that one of his nieces stops crying when they show her Ned? I have a faint memory of that- If that's true, well, there's the lyric in Bounce Man "she's been crying but I'll tell her you're fine"
The wintery set reminds me of oh Ms. Believers lyrics
crazy to rewatch this after this past week
So true
this is a fantastic video, but I would love to add two things to the details/theory:
1- I don't think the alarms after Car Radio are a sign of someone breaking out of Dema, I think it's the opposite. I believe Tyler sucessfully broke out of Dema, reunited with the Banditos, and the alarms tell the them that the Bishops finally found them. That's why everybody's running in panic except for Tyler, just like on Levitate he apparently got used to being dragged back to Dema. I think that works best because of how aggresive the hosts got towards the camera by that last cutaway. It's like they are taunting Tyler by referencing No Chances, because by that point of the show he's not alone anymore. After the boat section he's sitting comfortably on a living room surrounded by people he apparently trusts a lot, and I think those are the Banditos. Also like you said, the alarm is a sample from 'No Chances', so it's most likely the sound of Bishops arriving, coming for Tyler, and he's got no chances of escaping.
2- I don't think its a dream or a fantasy at all. Like I mentioned, I think he actually managed to leave Dema, and I also think that by the end he was brought back there by the Bishops. That's why he's back to where they started, it's his cell, it's a lie. It loops like someone's never ending struggle with mental health. One evidence I actually have to back this up is the "Explore the Lyrics" section from the presentation website. There we got to actually explore what looks like a Dema prison cell through VR, and we could try and find our way out. While doing so we were able to find many notes on the walls and the floor, all featuring sketches for the lyrics of the album, presumably left from Tyler on his way out.
Sorry about the wall of text I really wanted to contribute to our beautiful hunt for lore
When Tyler is performing Never Take It, as you said, we can see Trash the dragon on the floor. So I am guessing the lyrics "They're trying to weaponize you and I" refer to Tyler and the dragon. Not only does this tell us once again that the album is propaganda, but it also tells us that Dema is also after Trash. Also, we know that Trash signifies destruction, because of the lettering on its wings. Maybe, SAI is propaganda and Trash is some type of problem or deficiency in Dema, that they are trying to cover up and hide. This "problem" is trying to show itself to the world and if it does, Dema will be destroyed. OR maybe, Trash is some type of manifestation of Clancy that they have contained, and it is trying to escape to continue Clancy's works.
Maybe Trash can destroy Dema, but they keep turning him into a toy
so now we know tyler is clyncy :D
Did the bishops ever mention how many songs were on the album? I think they named songs but of course they never mentioned "no chances" or "redecorate".
They quote no chances tho at one point I think
@Hector Mata thanks! Was only able to watch it once.
@@tommygeorge2840 thank you!
But before those 2 songs, there is only 9. They always seem to do things in 9s.
@Hector Mata Sacarver said "We've come for you" and Lisdon said "We've got people on the way, no chances"
This isn't my own observation but someone mentioned the table during shy away looking like the table that hosted the last supper, further proving Clancy to be the Christ figure in this story ^^'
but clancy is evil.
@@aidenlavallee7959 oooo how so? 👀
The table had 9 chairs.
@@hananreshi2346 the 9 bishops
Hmmm interesting, they were all facing the camera right, in that case im like 100% percent sure its a reference to the last supper
@@aidenlavallee7959 Clancy is our protagonist tho
4:48 "The sun moves behind you" - Choker
Am I the only one who things the Shy Away set and costume looks ripped straight out of Blade Runner 2049? Ryan Goslings character where’s the same jacket and sits there in the snow as he realizes he’s been programmed his whole life for a single purpose.
Wow! Didn't think of that
Ned has already appeared in this new era, in the Choker music video
Yes but there it said he was missing s
He's in Mexico😏
@@jacobmoreno9698 Jake says in this video the first time Ned appears in the SAI era is on the Livestream though
He’s also hiding at the sides of the barrels in the background when they played chlorine
Usually he knocks them over but this time he didn’t and someone on Instagram pointed out that he was peeking out from the side of one
Who is Ned?
“Scaled and icy” actually stands for “scaled back and isolated”
Yea, I can’t believe not many people are talking about that
and ofc an anagram for "clancy is dead"
I always thought that when the alarms go off, it was the verse from Nico and the Niners, “force a sponsor and start a concert a complete diversion” that this was the diversion so Clancy could finally leave.
Clancy is ALIVE!! Dude I love this theory. You did a great job putting it together! I can't wait to hear you thoughts on how the storyline might conclude.
Only I think he’s dead ? They throw so many clues that he is dead
@@michalsam8183 dude did you even watch the video 😂
3:50 this was not only reference to ned in the show! When they played chlorine, behing Josh It was a shadow of ned
I think the theme of a loop fits better than a dream because as we've discovered previously, Tyler's music is a vicious cycle of re-entering his thoughts that can be so hurtful, and acknowledging this through the metaphorical battle between Dema.
Something I haven't seen anyone comment about is the part where both bishops are talking calmly as you said, but what you hear is what's important:
After a part of Clancy's letter, there's "Why do I kneel to these concepts? Tempted by control, controlled by temptation. 'Stay low', they say. 'Stay low'." The moment I heard this I was shook because in the minute 2:25 of Lane Boy's official video you can read this exact quotation. And I was shook because ever since I first watched that video, I never forgot those words yet always wondered what the F they meant. That was around 2015-2017, I don't remember exactly, still crazyyy. Makes me think about how many other people memorized that for years...
Although it's kind of confusing, it now ties way better with this context, and I hope we learn more asap.
this was top tier i needed this, i only got to watch that live stream once and then it was gone.
Blown away indeed. Well done TOP. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
This was really really good thank you!
🤯
This was incredible!
when tyler and josh reappear on the stage for Lane Boy, they are now accompanied by more band members, who wear DEMA jumpsuits. i think they appeared because the last time tyler was on the stage, he started to sing Holding On To You, and deviating from what the bishops wanted him to perform, so sending out band members was a method to keep him from trying to revolt even more
When I rewatched the stream I kinda had the thought, what if Trash actually put that car on fire. We have a few overhead shots in nerver take it that really reminded me of something flying above looking down
You can rewatch it?
@@hannahgilbert437 haha yup like nine times the day after when it was still available on youtube... no regrets
@@jjoou so it’s gone now :(
@@jjoou do you have a link?
@@michalsam8183 The one I watched isn’t available anymore. Warner Music have always been extremely strict. I do think they might put out a dvd with maybe additional behind the scenes stuff but that’s just a feeling I have. I don’t actually know if it‘ll happen :/
Incredible show, banger analysis
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO, loved it
the livestream made me fall in love with the album. i’ll admit that at first listen, i didnt really know what to think of it. but of _course_ the album goes way deeper than i thought, what a piece of work this is!
I love how Twenty One Pilots do their storytelling! No one else does things like that.
Also, so many details that I didn't get in the stream.
You did a good job figuring this out!
Great video! It made my day actually
on mulberry street, the bandito tour posters are in the back on a store named dematronix
Y tambien el de Emotional Road Show
Make a video on the "inside the lyrics" on the website 💙💗⚪❄️
Going back to watch this!
Just when you think it couldn’t get any better. The stories are amazing. Smart dudes
The boat scene was literally Scaled Back and Isolated :o
Mulberry Street had SO MANY REFERENCES AHHHH
There also is the street number on the stores that form the violation code😁
amazing work, Thank you and good luck
I havnt seen this anywhere before like I have searched and no one I have seen has noticed this connection. A CAR A TORCH A DEATH. The car set on fire in heavydirtysoul and in jumpsuit, the torch the banditos hold in trench, and a death.
“And then I saw him, torch in hand
He laid it out, what he had planned
And then I said I'll take the grave
Please just send them all my way”
Dema has existed since their initial Twentyone Pilots album.
Implicit Demand for Proof I think is Tyler directly talking to Nico/ Blurryface
“I am simply very perplexed
By your ways
Why would you let us
Use your name?”
Someone in the world of Dema will die, I believe Clancy is dead and Tyler has realised just how dire the situation is, and this next album will be either be his escape from Dema or his confrontation of Dema. No one can keep running from their demons until we face them head on. In trench all Tyler did was run and escape he briefly faced nico in jumpsuit then started to run, showing Nico his fear. He is allowing Nico to take control of his life by running.
And in turn Clancy has died at the hands of Tyler running away from Dema. Not facing his demons and letting fear, pain and anxiety take control by his own hands not demas.
They definitely need to finish the story off with a trench 2 album or with a different name, I love all their songs and albums but trench is by far the greatest album they have made
im pretty sure the A in good day dema is a neon gravestone from the nico and the niners video and the audio video for neon gravestones, but only in the intro of the livestream
Really good breakdown I missed a bunch of things!!
dude i love this video so much! i love ur theories so much
I think you’re right in every aspect except Clancy still being alive. I think Clancy tried to escape Dema (mental health issues) but got caught by the bishops (his inner demons) and on Redecorate he can’t face the fact he lost the battle and is thinking about how the other Banditos(family members) is gonna handle his suicide.
This gives me the potential to throw a wrench in the system as "we" know it. We can break through and break the system together when the time comes guys, entertain our faith guys.
Thanks so much for making this video😊 it gave me so much to think about😅
This is so wonderfully made. I love seeing the lore unfold and this universe come more and more to life. ❤
Woah! This was like so cool! I wasn't able to be there for the live stream so this is like a little recap lol
One thing that I thought of when you mentioned the falling apart of the simulation is in the first music video we saw in this album shy away we get quick looks of everything falling apart and even though it wasn’t shown in the song shy away being preformed I think it has something to do with that especially at the end of the performance when the alarms went off maybe saying that Dema is falling apart and the bishops are desperate so they did the live stream to have everyone think that they are still in charge even though we know in the song Nico and the Niners we are being told that Dema doesn’t control us as I said before my theory is this might be one act of desperation done by Dema to try and get control
i think its funny how the more we get deeper into this era tyler gives us music videos that match to the livestream. AKA the background of shy away in the livestream being the outside of dema that we find out in the saturday music video. So many things are being explained now thta make so much sense from the livestream.
Loved every part of the livestream also nice insight for the stream and the redecorate lyric video
