i've always felt like blurryface is tyler's personal lucifer
Yeah, basically.
yeeet thiic area 51 aliens
in the song 'not today' he tells -blurryface not today, by saying,"don't you test me though, just because I play the piano, dosent mean Im not willing to take u down" after he says that, I find it funny, how he says"Im sorry" right after, like he feels he can't tell -blurryface what to do, leading him to apologize.
Tyler Josephisbae23 it's probably because blurry has become such a big part of his life in this album so it's like saying that you wont do something, to your angry mum or something
Alex Rogers i see what you mean
Alyssa Franklin i think he's saying 'sorry', like: 'pardon me' or 'excuse me' to the song listener; like if you belch at dinner, or randomly go off on a rant to your invisible friend (or enemy), then remember yourself, so to speak, and apologize to your companion(s), b/c maybe you interrupted the conversation to do so. (boy, that was a long sentence)
-suki
Ac Gardener : yeah I agree with you thatâs an interesting theory
all of these explanations are how i thought about the album at first and everyone told me i was wrong but its so good hearing someone agree with me. i dont think people realize how much tyler's faith is in his music and it bothers me. but its good to watch someone who agrees with the fact that tyler's faith is instrumental in his music
I dont think the songs are THAT religious, though I could definitely understand why you would think that. These are MY meanings of the songs, and what I choose to believe they're about :3
Heavydirtysoul- Lyrics like "This is not rap, this is not hip-hop, just another attempt to make the voices stop" and "Mindless zombies walkin around with a limp and a hunch, sayin stuff like 'you only live once' (i'll get into second verse later)" make me believe he's talking about how his songs are about... well, depressing things, and it takes time to learn the message of a Twenty One Pilots song. They have their own style! As for the second verse, he's talking about how thrown around phrases like "yolo" are. Agreeing with "yolo" in the next lyric, but giving a deeper meaning to it in the same sentence.
Stressed Out- As you said, its about wishing you didn't have so much pressure on you, and that you just want to be a kid again, when life was pretty much stress free.
Ride- Again, like you said
Tear in my Heart- Of course its about his wife, Jenna (though some people choose to believe its about Josh as a joke). It talks about how she's a "tear in his heart". True love hurts, that's how he know's she's the one.
Fairly Local- I had a different meaning before, but with your explanation, I agree with you! How Tyler and Josh were just like you (the clique) and they were able to overcome, and the clique will too (I included Josh because Josh has extreme anxiety and is able to overcome it on stage).
Lane Boy- Again, like you said, won't go into details because you just need to watch the video.
The Judge- When he is talking about "the judge", I think he's more talking about the media. A lot of the media insults TĂP for being too mainstream/emo. When Tyler says "set me free", he's more talking about how he wants them to let it go, and to just not listen to his music.
Polarize- Same with Lane Boy, just watch the video because I agree
WDBWOTV- The song switches messages for me, the first verse talking about how the media is always lying to you, and to pay attention to real life. The hook and chorus are more about a close friend, either Josh or Jenna or somebody else. The second verse kinda switches back, saying "what if my dream does not happen, would I just change what I told my friends" and the lyrics after suggest as well. He doesnt WANT to pay attention to how big or small the media says Twenty One Pilots is, because he has learned to kill his dreams of becoming successful, in case such thing needed to happen.
Hometown- I believe it is about Columbus, Ohio, personally. When he says "there's no sun", he's talking about how there is no light shed on the beauty of Columbus, Ohio, and that you can honestly make it anywhere.
Not Today- This one (and Goner) are about Blurryface himself. Tyler wanting to fight back against Blurryface, and just saying "no"
Goner- Goner is his way of saying "you think you understand, but you don't" TO Blurryface. The hook "and so I'm weak, and beaten down, I'll slip away into the sound. The ghost of you is close to me. I'm inside out, you're underneath."
Tyler wants Blurryface gone, but instead chooses to use Blurryface to help him, in the sense that Tyler always wants to get better. Blurryface, with the slight insecurities, helps Tyler evolve his music.
Instead of "conquering" Blurryface, Tyler accepts him.
As for who Blurryface is, Tyler has repeated multiple times that Blurryface is a character that represents insecurities. The blurry neck, Tyler explains, is how when you go on stage, how your throat feels like it gets clogged because you're nervous of how the show will go.
The black hands, as Tyler says, his how he is insecure about anything he makes with his hands. Including how he writes his songs, and plays the piano and ukulele.
Pandii i personally think that they aren't very religious either
tylermartinezz I know Tyler and Josh are very religious, but they've said themselves that they didnt want to push their beliefs onto their fans.
they aren't completely religious but they have clear religious undertones that you should acknowledge. Most TĂP fans aren't religious so he's cleverly made most songs open for interpretation
Pandii i agree with all except The Judge. i think it's what tyler was thinking when he wanted to die and when he was suicidal. basically the judge is the devil or whoever is choosing who goes to hell and he is asking them to set him free from earth and send him to hell. "i know my souls freezing, hells hot for good reason so please pick me" he's saying that his soul is freezing on earth and that's okay because hell is warmer.
NSPLG -- thank you. whether you are religious or not, you should acknowledge that the creator is religious and he writes from that perspective. I agree 100%
The judge is based off of Josh Dun. This is because in the song you can hear Tyler scream "JOSH DUN !" in one part of the chorus.
I think that was meant more as a joke / easter egg, not because the song is about Josh. I'm pretty sure I saw a tweet from Tyler once where he said he was supposed to just be shouting something else but when he was recording Josh was outside the soundproof glass and couldn't hear him so he shouted Josh's name.
Great video!
I believe that in "The judge" while he is talking about Blurryface he is talking about Satan and kind of highlighting the similarities between both as they're "the leader of the bad guys" and I think that makes the song so awesome and deep.
Also, in "message man" I always thought he was talking about Jesus as he carries the message that God is alive.
I hear something different when I listen to Doubt. I hear Blurryface telling Tyler, "Don't forget about me." Then I hear Tyler replying, "Even when I doubt you, I'm no good without you," because in a sick way, Tyler needs Blurryface.
Storm I like this theory. It's a new take
I thought he means God with "even when i doubt you, i'm no good without out you"đ€·ââïžđ
Now thats a creative concept
Tyler makes it clear that Blurryface creates many insecurities for him so why would he doubt Bluryface after all the negative impact it has created on him. He is talking about God "even when I doubt you, I'm no good without out you". because he is a Christian.
@Atlehang Buthelezi thank you
All these deeper meanings in their lyrics is what pulled me in and why I love them. Thank you for taking the time to analyze and summarize the songs, it helps me get a better understanding on what Tyler is trying to say :) It's great that no matter how many times I listen to their songs I discover something new always!
Ill never look at blurryface the same after this
Awesome! Mission accomplished.
Anna ayy anna iz meee Natasha
NatiNata i found you atlast
HelÄÄÄ
i find that when you find out the meaning to songs/an album as a whole makes listening to it makes it more enjoyable. people like music that connects with their current mood/emotion. it's all about feeling something. thank you for this video, now i can enjoy the blurryface album even more.
also, if you haven't, please do vessel too. i love TOP, they helped save my life :)
Don't forget to comment your thoughts on these songs, people! This is a community, not just me preaching at you from behind some cheapo camera. ;)
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IN THE JUDGE HE SINGS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS ONE IS ABOUT ME OR THE DEVIL IF HE'S CHRISTIAN
Margarita FaÄini the reason why he says that is because, he is comparing himself to the devil
The Pop Song Professor , in behind the scenes of tare in my hart.. tyler explained that "tare in my hart" is about how some one you love can "take that and crush it at any moment" meaning if jenna really wanted she could crush tyler's hart and hurt him even more... but in some twisted thare relationship works out because jenna understands what tyler's been through in the past

The Pop Song Professor vhbghfe
I really appreciate that you are willing to give the Christan messages! I've seen plenty of people dodge them.
6:15 "TodayÂŽs gonna be a good day" hits different since the new album came out.
This was SOO good! Love the explanations, and your channel!
Glad to hear it! Hope you stick around!
I always LOVE your explanations. Whether I agree or not, this is so interesting digging deepeer and deeper into the actual meaning, or at least what we -as listeners- perceive. TĂžp is my all-time favorite band and all of their songs make me feel a whole other type of way. PLEASE, do the rest of their albums like Vessel or Regional At Best, with the overall explanation!
I'd really love to and thanks. Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
I can't thank you enough! :)
+Osru The Ostrich anytime. :)
I just came across your channel while hunting some cool theories and you, my good sir have earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the good work!
Welcome! And thanks for hanging here. :)
:)
Love your videos, and this album explanation was great!
Thanks, man! Hopefully I can add more videos about this album!
Hey!!! I like the ukulele in the background. Nice touch.
THanks!
wow. some songs like Not Today and Lane Boy are now clear to me, thanks!!
great video I love your twenty one pilots songs explained videos
Happy to help. :)
Dude I LOVE this channel. Really gets me thinking about deep and inspiring lyrics from my favorite band. Keep it up, cause this stuff is what I love about TĂP.PS That line from Not Today is my favorite too, it reminds me of Migraineâs âIâM NOT AS FINE AS I SEEM, pardonâ
I'm 4 years late, but this makes so much sense now!, thank you! I remember listening to Stressed Out and Heathens when I was younger and I was afraid to listen to the band because I wasn't sure if it was bad or not, and when I mean bad I don't mean as in the songs itself or the band itself is bad I mean like making sure it was appropriate, in 2017 or 2018 I was introduced to it again and I started jamming to their songs, and now I love the band. So yes, thank you once again.
Hey, so I really love Blurryface as an album and as a concept and I really loved your explanation of the songs and for the most part, I agreed with most of it; however, when you talked about 'Doubt', that's kind of where my interpretation of the song differs (and that's the beauty of music, that there isn't one set meaning behind a song, and everyone can view it differently). You say that Tyler's signing to God to not forget him, but I personally feel that it's more about him singing towards Blurryface as a character, that he feels he can't be creative without him because he draws on his insecurities and anxities to make music and that even though he wants to overcome him, he isn't sure what kind of person he would be if that were to ever happen, but yeah that was about it!
And that's very fair to have different interpretations. Thanks for sharing yours! I'll have to re-read the lyrics with it in mind.
Definitely, music is all down to interpration and I don't think it'd be that interesting if top just came out and said what all of their songs actually mean. I mean, I think Doubt is him addressing Blurryface because as a concept, Blurryface is the antagonist of the entire album and there's several times where Tyler speaks to him directly, because at the end in 'Goner', he's asking for help in defeating him because he is aware that his insecurities and anxieties are not who he is, and he can overcome it, or at least overcome it for the moment, but that's just the way I see it, and the way I relate to it (and I also really love talking about the meaning of top's music haha).
The more you explain, the better understanding I felt for each song. I appreciate you posting these videos- they help a lot! c:
Expect more TOP vids in the future. They're my favorite band!
The Pop Song Professor Same here^-^
Glad I stumbled across your videos. Definitely subscribing!
Thanks!
I swear these explanations help me so much. I already kinda have figured out what the meaning is to me, and your interpretation is a lot like mine so this is super helpful. And yeah I love the Blurryface album so much thanks for posting this.
Happy to help!
Hey pop song professor! thanks sooo much for explaining this whole album to me. i was so confused what the meanings were, but now you helped me! im so glad i picked this band as my ONLY favirote band
No problem and thanks for watching!
Great video!! I had so many light bulb moments! Thanks
+Adam Kain happy to help :)
Hey man, love watching your Twenty One Pilots videos! I wanted to rattle off my ideas about how I think all of their albums are connected by common truths or ideas (I'm not sure if these are the words I'm looking for). Like how night is always portrayed as the time where some of our more unpleasant thoughts tend to creep out and give us trouble. I have noticed that there seems to be similar ideas in the self-titled album and Blurryface. For instance: in A Car, A Torch, A Death, Tyler says how he "begins to envy the headlights driving south." And how he wants to fall out of that moving car. In The Judge, he talks about leaving a house, and when he''s heading down this route he thinks he's going south. I've always taken that to mean that to him; "
South" is a positive direction. It makes sense too considering their song Polarize talks about "separating them, splitting them up from wrong and right." There are two poles; North and South. It also seems like some of the songs in these two albums challenge each other. Two songs that come to mind are Air Catcher and Ride. Ride is a negative perspective of dealing with these problems with a positive attitude. It's saying I'm falling, I'm losing my way right now, and I'm aware, but right now I'm just going to take time with the fall. Air Catcher challenges this line of thinking by saying "I won't fall in love with falling." Tyler is saying he won't allow himself to get used to this state, in fact he will "try to avoid those eyes." These eyes belong to the subject of the song, which I don't think is a person, but a personality trait, in this case I think addiction is the trait he is talking about. Do you think there's any merit to these ideas? I would love to hear if you have a different idea. ( I have no-one to talk to about all this stuff and I really love taking these songs apart and finding/sharing what I think the meaning is with others.)
Hi, itâs 4 years later, but could âeyesâ mean iiâs, like his tattoo that is a cross, but looks like two iâs? It would tie into the concept of his struggle with God/faith. Just a random thought!
This album is so interesting to me. I remember discovering it after i graduated high school in 2016. At the time i didnt think much of it. But in the last few months i came back to it and gave it another listen for nostalgia really. However, i found that this album resonated with me on a whole new level now that ive grown up and experienced alot more than before. I love this album so much now. It helps me explain how i feel when i cant explain it myself all the time.
learning about each individual song and it's meaning makes me love TOP even more!!
Awesome!
You are a really good explainer at TĂP songs this is great
Thanks! I love that band so much.
Awesome video! TĂžP is my favorite band of all time. Please keep doing videos :)
Worry not!
Nice video! Your channel is getting better!
You mean it wasn't already 100% perfect?!
+The Pop Song Professor No. now its 2000000000000% better.
Dude, thanks. Hopefully, it keeps getting better. Feel free to send suggestions my way. :)
Good job you made my day đ
I'm so glad!
Great video like always fren!
Thanks, Paulo! I'm pretty sure I could have predicted you'd like this one.
hahaha truth, i'm not having time to watch everything and to spend time on the site telling my opinions and everything else, as I've told u but when it's possible I'm always here in CZcams checking Ur videos. anyway, best of luck and my prayers ;)
I would love if you made an explanation like this about Vessel! that woud be super cool! Great videos by the way!
Highest voted request on my list now!
The Pop Song Professor great, hope to see a video soon, I'm a new fan, but let me tell you, you're amazing! #professorgoals
Thanks! It may be a little while, but I promise Vessel will come. My fav album of all time.
Thanks man, JUST THANKS âŁïžâŁïž
Anytime.
You deserve more subscribers!! đ
Thanks!
Also for the song, "We Don't Believe Whats On TV" it is about Jenna. Theres a interview where Tyler is playing super smash bros with the interviewer and he talks about the song. He mentions the song and comments on how everyone thinks its about Josh. He continues on saying its not about Josh and jokingly says how he can look at Josh while hes performing song when Jenna is not there. So that almost confirms that its about Jenna. XD I can send you the link to the interview where he says that if you want!
That would be amazing if you could send that! Thank you thank you thank you!
+Isabel Casson very cool thanks
Hahaha no problem! I was pretty surprised with how much he opened up on the song in that interview. He usually never talks about who the song is about. Maybe the trick is to geting song infromation from hom is to have him playing video games and then just start asking him questions. LOL
You do not understand how much I appreciate and need this video! Thank you so much! Can you maybe explain C'mon by Panic! at the Disco ft. Fun.?
Glad I could help. I'll put it on my list of possibilities.
i knew these lyrics, but is still get chills
Thank youuu sooo muchhh
Wow you did an amazing job explaining this album! You really have a talent at analyzing lyrics. For the song, "Not Today" I always viewed it as Tyler running away from God. I feel like the song showed God as being the one who is telling Tyler not today and puts himself into Tyler's life. Do you think that its possible that for this songs meaning to about Tyler running away from God ?
Oh, dang, Isabel. You may have just invalidated my video... :( Now that I look at it through that lens, I think you really may be onto something. When I do the individual explanation for this song, I think I'm going to revise what I said. Thank you for your awesome perspective.
Aw thank you so much! I still really love your idea on the song meaning for, "Not Today" though. There some parts I find confusing or not accurate to my fit my theory. Honestly I have no idea who or what he is referring to when he sings not to test him just because he plays the piano. That part doesn't really make much sense to me. It fit does better if he was talking to burryface then God. Idk its a pretty deep song that I really enjoy listening too. I'll definitely will be checking out your blog post on it!
I agree with Isabel. In Not Today, Tyler's arguing with God, saying he wants to stay comfortable at home in the dark with the curtains drawn. He wants God to stay out of his mind. He thinks the world is better off without him. But God's like, "get your butt out there and do my will and sing (make a noise/sound) and transform the world" - God's the one who tears the curtains down. And well, if u read the Bible, God is all about tearing curtains đ (I think this song goes well as a companion to Ode to Sleep, which is also an argument with God about God's plans for Tyler. And notice both songs say "I'm sorry" in them.)
Yeah, I always thought that it was Tyler talking to God, mostly because of the part where he says "Don't you test me now... I'm sorry." Like, why would he say I'm sorry to Blurryface. But the explanation in the video is really good also, and makes a lot of sense.
I'm a big fan of yours!!
Wow! I really appreciate!
Wow. I love and find the songs so unique and beautiful while sad bc i understand and love the lyrics and have since the first second i discovered them. It blows my mind that some are confused
Can you explain LA Devotee & Northern Downpour by Panic! at the disco ? I've been trying understand those two, but I can't.
Also, loved the quick explanation for Heathens, my mom thought it was creepy but now she loves the song. Since the beginning, I felt they were going to become successful bc they seemed relatable to others. Spotify said I nailed it on guessing that they wld be signed. Like your channel, will definitely be subscribing & telling all my friends about your channel. đ€đđ
Thanks so much for sticking around and telling others! Here's my blog's explanation of "LA Devotee" if you care to read: cliffordstumme.com/2015/11/27/what-does-la-devotee-by-panic-at-the-disco-mean/
I'll add both songs to my possible video explaining songs.
on point
!
Thanks!
I completely agree with you i've been looking into these lyrics
Thanks for watching!
The Pop Song Professor oh my Goodness you actually replied to me =D I'm gonna start a series like this I'm gonna try to do all the songs a couple of these I see differently then you but I'm a Christian and I accept that Tyler is a Christian so I have different views for all the songs usaully one has something to do with anyi-Suicide or Anti-Depression, Christianity and whatever the album is about (Blurryface) Heavydirtysoul I did research right when it came out same with judge but yeah thanks for replying :)
Anytime. Sounds like a fun series! Let me know when you do it, and I'd love to watch some of it.
The Pop Song Professor thanks :) I will :(
The Pop Song Professor oops I mean't :)
Just what i neededđđ
:)
I love your explanations! Thanks so much for this one. A few of these totally gave me a light bulb moment. Keep up the great work! I want to also add (I don't think you said it?) that the implication is that Tyler defeats or is starting to win against Blurryface by the end of the album. With Heavydirtysoul and Stressed Out, Tyler's admitting he's lost and the various songs explore why. With Goner, Tyler's fighting back. And though he's "weak & beaten down," he gets closer to God (the ghost of you) and wants to stay there. The imagery the band uses for Goner in concerts & on T-shirts (the white doves/Holy Spirit overtaking the red one/Blurryface) echo this idea. I think it's kind of a story arc of the album.
I totally agree with that. I had something about it too, but had to cut it for time. :P
Hey, why do you think, the pieces of paper that rain down on the crowd at the end of their concerts are red, not white? Is it, because Blurryface is defeated, smashed to pieces?
lorkhan610 that could totally be it!
My favourite song in blurryface is tear in my heart, it's just so good
I love this album not only cause it's great, but because I understand it, I have my own blurryface, and this album, plus the others are very relatable to me
You should explain the self titled album!
Thank you doing for this.
Could do "Car Radio" by Twenty-One Pilots. I know it's been out a long time, and there are a bunch of theories for it; but I'm really curious about your opinion on it.
That's my favorite song! It's definitely on my list. :)
This video hits a different vibe ever since French came out of us having no idea this was connected to dema đ
I agree with all of these explanations. I also like to think about the order that the songs are in, particularly how Tear in my Heart comes after Fairly Local. Fairly Local is, as you said, about battling the evil side of yourself and getting through it. Tear in my Heart is about Tyler's wife, obviously, so it makes me wonder about the particular time Jenna came into Tyler's life. Maybe he was going through the struggle described in Fairly Local and Jenna helped him through that. Don't know if that would be true or not, but I think it's pretty safe to say Jenna has helped Tyler a lot, and when I think about those two songs together, it just makes me appreciate Jenna so much (I mean she's already amazing but you know)
:)
This guy deserves 3.6B subscribers
I think how tear in my heart is about Jenna, that doubt is about Josh (I really want to hear both of them singing an entire top song)
Thanks for the video! I've enjoyed it. I saw his lyrics in the same light except for "Not Today". Tyler has a song on Vessel "Ode to Sleep" where he admits his fear of being associated with God (like Peter's) denial. In Ode he states to his fans, "I'm afraid to tell you who I adore. Won't tell you who I'm singing towards. Metaphorically, I'm a whore and that's denial #4."
"Not Today" to me is again his fear of his musical calling. Or possibly the tug of war between fame and faith. The entire song is a conversation between him and God who has "heard" his "voice". A key in the dialog is the change in between hook 1 and 2. First, he is rejecting his call, "You are out of my mind. You aren't seeing my side. You waste all this time trying to get to me but you are out of my mind." The. The second bridge after he calls God out saying, "Just because I play the piano doesn't mean I, I'm not willing to take you down." And immediately Tyler regrets what he said and says, "I'm sorry." Then comes full circle on the second bridge and admits he cannot out run God. "I, I'm out of my mind. I'm not seeing things right. I waste all this time trying to run from you but I, I'm out of my mind."
Even looking at Not Today as Tyler running from God brings it back to illuminate Polarize in a similar light. What or who is he denying? I believe it is God. His religion coupled with his state of mind makes him fear those demons in the night will find out who holds his devotion.
I could be off the mark a bit. Not today resonates with me quite a bit though because I share his feeling of being called but doubting whether or not I could be any benefit to this world beyond my 4 walls. Though, I don't play the piano :)
I don't even understand why I'm listening to Twenty One Pilots. I'm 40 and way to old to be jumping at concerts with the Clique but here I am haunted by the message. Does that even make sense?
Thatâs a great way to look at it! And youâre never too old for music. Twenty one pilots is great and for everyone to enjoy!
That is a great explanation, never saw it like that, I guess you need to know the artist to get a better idea of what the song is
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Anytime. :)
OMG I JUST REALIZED THE BISHOPS ARE MENTIONED IN DOUBT AHHHHH
(you probably already knew this but im feeling pround ahahahah)
For Halloween do you think you could explain Thriller by Michael Jackson?
My dude, that is an excellent suggestion. I will see what I can do.
Goner is my favorite I love this album it has such a deep meaning
awesome video
THanks!
Can you please explain Addict With A Pen, it is a really deep song and I'd love to hear your interperation.
I'll upvote it on my list!
Could you do an entire video on Message Man please?
can you make an explanation about vessel that would be greatđ
I think I will!
I honestly thought that âLane Boyâ wouldâve been about how the older generations, specifically the Baby Boomers, try to stick to their old roots and way of life, as well as Generation Zâs defiance of the Boomers forcing their lifestyle upon Gen Z. i.e. âthey say stay in your lane boy, but we go where we want to/will they be alive tomorrowâ. That also points out how the Baby Boomer generation is on the brink of ending soon, and how Generation Z will soon be out of their grasp.
Theory: The whole album was made by blurryface. As blurryface is the name of the album and also he had paint on his hands and neck. Where as in the trench album itâs Tylerâs perspective as he doesnât have the paint. Heâs fighting against Dema and the bishops.
Thank you
Thank you for this :) can you do clear by twenty one pilots, I love the beat and the melody of the song but I'm not 100% sure about its full meaning
I'd love too. I'll put it on my list and hopefully I get the chance too!
blurryface is one of my favorite albums
I believe it's all about his depression, anxieties, and how he deals with it/ what it does to him and how he DOES fight back and has good days, but that it comes in waves and although he sometimes defeats "blurryface", he comes back to haunt him.
I find this video very interesting, although I do not understand all the subtitles in English (I am French and the automatic subtitles are not very well ...).
In the song "We do not believe what's on TV," as soon as I heard it for the first time, I thought Tyler was talking about Josh because these words make me think of him: "I do not care what's In your hair ... ". I immediately think about the multicolored hair of the drummer ^^
(Sorry for possible translation errors)
You're a legend
Aww, shucks. Thanks, ma' friend.
You should explain self titled
Hey its me again. haha, i just have 1 more question, Why the weird optical illusions on the cover?
Still my favorite band
Blurryface is like Tyler's version of Slim Shady
My favorite albums are
4 reginal at best
3 vessel
2 self titled
1 blurryface
What about No Phone Intended?
bonnie paul ll-// welcome to trench :)
Trench?
I think explaining Self-Titled would be a blast
Hey dude here's an update on who Tyler might be talking about in We Don't Believe What's On TV; If you look up the acoustic version of the song, halfway through the performance Tyler takes a break and says "A lot of people think this song's about Josh. It's not." and afterwards he laughs, so that's pretty much confirmation that he's indeed not talking about Josh in the song, so now we know that he's either talking about Jenna or his fans.
Yeah! I saw something else where he seemed to be saying it was about Jenna.
i could be totaly wrong but what if doubt has double meaning??
let me explain my point of view. so until the whole dema story was out i tought it was about him asking God not to forget about him and stuff cause hes no one without him. but now after listening the song i noticed he referes the bishops, so i tried to interpert this in another way. what if this song is about clancys fear and anxiety because if he doesnt know if he'll be able to leave dema? and maybe theres someone in there he loves thats gonna escape with him (notice the part where he says "Hope you haven't left without me Hope you haven't left without me, please)and since it seams clancy is retinking it or maybe doubting it he maybe getting anxiety and starting to doubt if the person will escape with him?? or maybe that person already escaped, and he's asking them not to forget abou him. idk just a though, idk if its right or if i've made any mistakes (if so please correct me) and yeah i think thats it, sorry if its a bit confusing
(sorry about my english, im portuguese sooooo)
21 pilot is my favourite song from the album DAMN.
i was hoping this video would be like 20 minutes long, i could think about twenty one pilots songs meaning all day
I have 20 minute long TOP podcasts on my website!
yes, i listened to a bunch of them after leaving this comment! thank you for doing what you do, im starting college next year and couldnt decide if i should be a history or english teacher, but now i think ive decided on english!
i really like the intro/outro song to them and i was wondering if you are a christian yourself?
I love how I don't have the same interpretations as you with all the songs although we're both Christian...
now with the new album out, do you find the meaning of the songs more connected with the idea of this Dema world/universe?
I love how I already thought all of these things. Twenty one pilots is my life.
Thank you so much. My family is Christian and my mom doesn't want me to listen to twenty one pilots because she thinks they aren't holy and all that but she doesn't know they are Christian and she doesn't like them but the help me deal with my life. You decoding them helps me explain it to her and to help me earn being able to listen to them again...thank you so much. I'm gonna subscribe and like now
silverstream foxtrot i wouldnât take his every word this album itself i doubt its as religious as he say it is
Don't know about you guys, but this point of view about blurryface itself makes me love this hole album even more. The main reason for this has a lot to do with my entire life. The way he explained the album, showing that Tyler is not a suicidal obssessive, but tormented by this part of him, the fact that he is just as human and as sinful as us, makes me feel a lot more into being a fan. I do love this album and will always have it in my heart.

I might be wrong, but I think for ride Tyler is singing about how he needs to get back in control of his ride otherwise blurryface the character will take over it. Holding on to you backs this up too because it's about getting back with your body and thoughts. In the first lines it says 'im taking over my body back in control no more shotty' Shotty is a slang term for shot gunning the passenger seat in a car. But now blurry has come, he can't do this or else blurry will take over Tyler. Also, at the beginning of ride there are some weird noises. If you edit those to make them a higher pitch, it sounds like Tyler. We know from stressed out that a lower version of Tyler is blurryface. Blurry is making the grunting sounds at the start. Fairly local, the next song in the album, I think is taken over my blurryface because the first verse contains negative things about Tyler. Tyler regains his thoughts in the second verse though as it's positive. Blurryface gets back though because we know Tyler speaking in a lower tone isn't blurry.
Can you explain the song "Ruby", I love it, it gives me chills, I think it speaks of god, but I would like to know more.
So I read "Entire Blurryface album explained" 8:20mins... I think; "No way is he going to explain all of it in 8 mins!" But it's a really good video! You stripped it all down very well and clear. But I think where you say "message man, that's him(Tyler)" that actually is "..use descretion when you're messing with the message, man" He is not talking about himself as the message man (although he is) he is warning people to use these lyrics carefully, because they contain more than you think. It's in invitation to look deeper into it. But I believe you can take that part of the lyrics both ways. I love when he writes like that. It's like in Stressed Out where he says "Out of student loans and treehouse-homes we all would take the latter" you can also hear that as "ladder" referring to the treehouse-home.
Aw, thanks. I always mess that up and forget the comma.
Your explanations are better interpretations than Charles Manson had for the Beatles, by far. It's pretty clear pilots are not a one dimensional group. I'm 55 and have liked everything from Sinatra to dead kennedys. My favorite song and version is take and go in their lowlands concert. Both Tyler and Josh were sharp as ever at the same time.
Please explain hometown in more detail
I wish I had the time to address several of your points and share my thoughts!
