Used to listen to tøp religiously like 5 years ago and I’m having a night where I listen to all the songs I used to be obsessed with makes me feel like I’m 14 all over again
"I'm holding onto what I know" -Glowing Eyes "I want to know you" -Trees "I want to be known by you" -Goner "I'll be holding onto you" Holding Onto You
God the accent he uses when he sings, the way he purposely cracks his voice, the lyrics, the melody, tyler everything about this perfect! kudos to ty and josh !!! love ya'll
His intentional voice cracks add to the song but his accidental ones add to the feeling. You know you're getting the real deal and I love the way he starts lots of his songs with a noise like "la di da da, la di da di da"
"When you're happy, you enjoy the music. But, when you're sad, you understand the lyrics." -Frank Ocean Excerpt from "Not Today" by twenty øne piløts: Listen, I know This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds But the lyrics are so down It's okay though Because it represents, wait, better yet it is Who I feel I am right now
I love Regional at Best the most because the songs usually sound so upbeat but the lyrics are terrifying. But Twenty One Pilots is such a good band because it's one less artist that isn't singing about drugs and sex.
*"I know some people who know people who are flying straight."* I wonder if this line relates to how they got their name. They got the name Twenty One Pilots from the play All My Sons by Arthur Miller, for those of you who didn't know, in which a man sells faulty airplane parts during WWII causing the death of twenty-one pilots. If you're flying straight, then you're all good, right? Life is going pretty good, and you have nothing to worry about. But for the pilots who died, they were falling, and they couldn't control the plane. So like they can't control their lives and the ultimate result of things. Edit: Oh my gosh, this got so many likes and I had no idea.😂 I forgot about this.😅 Thanks for liking and replying.😁☺
Last summer I had anorexia and ended up in a psichiatric hospital, there were more people of my age with mental illines, there was another girl with anorexia, a little boy with esquizophrenia, a boy with depression because of bullying, and more precious people. All of them were different, and all of them had glowing eyes, all of them were pure, and all of us understood each other. We often talked about our parents always tell us that people had always to be right and how them son's friends where all doing good and we all had to do the same. I recovered quickly and I had to go from the hospital, they where my friends and I had to leave them with their problems, I had to say goodbay. But I knew I must let go. For me this beautiful song means this.
Man it feels so fantastic to come back to these songs all these years later. I still know every single word to every single song Tyler/Tøp has put out. They were all I had when I was just a depressed kid
I don't know if there are official interpretations or if Tyler has said anything about the meaning of this song but if not, hear me out. The glowing eyes are (for lack of a better word) demons that Tyler's experiencing. (I know there's been other people saying the glowing eyes represent society and how they're always watching him but this is what I first understood when I first heard this song.) The line "But do I want to say goodbye to all the glowing eyes" really sticks out to me. Speaking from experience, I know that depression is sort of comforting and that sometimes you'd rather stay in the comforting state that you're in, instead of seeking for help and recovering. "I'm holding on to what I know" I have two interpretations of this line, the first being that what he knows there is another way to live, that he hasn't let depression take over him. He's holding onto the idea that he can get better and that he will be happy again and won't let himself drift deep into depression. My second idea is that what he knows is depression and this mental state he's in. And he's holding onto staying where he is. Because recovery is a scary place, so he's holding onto where he's comfortable at. (Not sure if that made any sense). "But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along" with this line, I immediately assume the eyes are his demons. Like his doubt is taking over and he would rather play a song that his demons would approve of, that they would know that they're winning the war. Also the line, "While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again." I take that ceiling fans either a. is relating to suicide in a way, or b. is the time you spend alone in your room. Upon googling the term "idle hands" I've found out it means "the devil makes work for idle hands". I think this relates to self-harm, as when you've found yourself alone in your room with your thoughts, your demons can slip in and take control. but yeah that's sorta my take on the song. Not sure if any of that made sense or anything. stay alive, frens
I just rediscovered this song after about 3 years and I’m tearing up realizing that after all this time I still remember the lyrics. I listened to this song constantly back when I didn’t have a name for what I was feeling but TØP made me feel accepted and understood. Thank you to this community for being such a positive force in my life
bro same. i forgot this song existed. three years ago i was a super edgy pre-teen listening to this all the time. i only forgot about it because its not on spotify 🤷♂️
I had a similar thing happen with ride, when i was younger i heard the song on the radio and i loved it, i just didnt know what it was Then, like 4-5 years later, i had just gotten into tøp, and was listening to Blurryface, and i heard it there, i almost died of happiness
“this room is far too dark for us to stay around” i remember singing these words in the dark 5 years ago. looking back and singing this line again after overcoming my battle at the time makes me emotional. stay alive.
Happens heh. I didn't know about 2 songs from Regional at Best 😄 I was a fan of them since 2015 cuz my teacher was always playing Stressed Out in class 😂
I've been a fan for 2 years yet I know about TB Saga, most of RaB, Trees is my favorite song, and I know a lot of Vessel. I learned most of these songs 2-4 months ago lol oh and I know Coconut Sharks in the Water 😄
You guys talk a lot about how happy it sounds for how dark the lyrics are, (I'm probably not the first to say this) but it's probably because depressed people often don't like to show their depression, in fact they seem happy sometimes.
We're the glowing eyes.Think about it, he'd rather sing a song for the glowing eyes, our screens, our laptops, our phones, our tablets, make our faces glow as we listen to his music. We're the glowing eyes. He wants to keep singing for us, not to move on for what's waiting at him for the door, because it's the unknown. He's going to keep doing what he wants to do. Sing for the glowing eyes.
While I'd love to believe that, glowing eyes have always been a symbol of evil (darkness, demons, fear, bad thoughts), especially in cartoons. This song is about dissociation and being in denial about the darkness in your head; pretending the familiarity is good. The chorus shows this most: "I know theres someone at the door, they called for help of this I'm sure." This is likely referring to his conscience, telling him these "eyes" are bad for him. "But do I want to say goodbye, to all the glowing eyes?","I'm holding onto what I know, and what I know I must let go." He knows the eyes are bad for him, but they're all he knows and he's too scared to let go of the comfort the familiarity provides, although he knows he should. Kind of like "pretending enemies are frenemies" (mentioned in Kitchen Sink). "But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression, while ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again." Again, he knows they're bad for him but he'd rather sit with the familiar depression and lock himself away, staring at the ceiling fan while the thoughts tear him apart.
@@hellfrr I think there is some amount of genuine comfort from "the eyes". He'd rather sing a song the eyes can sing along too. Whether they're entirely good or not the glowing eyes are a part of all of us and there's something to be said about singing a song they can enjoy too. Amazing song and I love how many layers you can take away from it.
guys, i thought about this thing. it's weird. so you guys know what tøp songs like these are like. happy music but depressing lyrics. but what if they did this to represent how you don't know what's going on in someone's life? i mean, someone can seem all happy and bubbly, like this song, but it's truly when you pay attention to the little details that the person, or the song, is actually going through some really depressing stuff. that didn't make sense.
All the lyrics are so important to me, but this one wins. One time, I was really nervous and nothig would calm me down. I was having a panic attack, I was thinking a lot about really bad things and harming myself. And then, I remembered this song (and still don't knowing why I remembered it), and thought that I still have some people who cares about me. Ya know, a best friend, like Josh is to Tyler (and vice-versa). It helped me calm down, a little. Instead of doing something to myself that would make people sad later, I played this song (for the eyes to sing along). And it worked. Thank you. I am sorry if I wrote something wrong, english is not my mother language. I just wanted to pass to some people how important this song is, and not just for me, but for the whole clique. Stay Alive.
I know that you wrote this comment a long time ago, but it makes me feel good to know that this song helped people like this band helped me. Thank you for not hurting yourself
used to listen to this back when i was still in highschool barely surviving life, now that I'm looking back on it I'm glad life didn't end for me at 16, thank you ty and jo
Tyler's voice helps me escape the reality I live in. But when the music stops, the darkness closes in, little by little until the darkness completely consumes me. Music is my only light.
The Last Crybaby Pilot At The Chemical Disco! I feel the same way. My "friends" are starting to bully me for listening to music so often. Today my "friend" pushed my onto the floor really hard and my knee was badly hurt. I'm so sick of these people and school I just want to end my life now. I am hurting so badly but I don't show anyone. Anyway if you need someone to talk to I'm right here. I'll listen and respond.
I thought I had all of Twenty One Pilots with Blurry Face, Vessel, and the TBS.... BOY WAS I WRONG. I am so glad I found there 'underground' music it's so good!
21 Emos at the Fall Out Chemical Disco hello! I just wanted to compliment on your taste of music, profile name and picture :) ,you seem like a really cool person i would love to meet.
I think im overcoming depression Edit august 2019 thank u guys so much for supporting me it really means alot and even tho depression sucks the least we can do is look out for eachother and remind people to stay alive \\-// people will lose alot in life but one thing we will never lose is ourself
Oh my god that's so awesome I'm so happy for you fren congratulations for making it this far we all love you so much and I'm so happy for you! Continue to live on stay strong and most importantly stay alive not just because I want you to but because you need to because you are apart of this world and without you than a piece of this world is gone and we need you 💛
It’s been almost a decade since I first heard this song. And the memories that come with it are sweet because they remind me of times I felt understood. Times I knew I wasn’t alone. And times I promised to make it through. You can make it. Don’t stop fighting. The struggle means you’re alive. Stay alive. It will get better. Trust me.
same, maybe this is what he really means ? like he plays songs for us to sing along while he knows that we all cry like someone's cutting onions actually even worse but lol the point is that we, the clique, is the glowing eyes?
It’s interesting looking back. When I first found this song, I was in a much darker place than I am now. I’m still struggling of course but things have definitely gotten easier over the years, especially as I’ve gotten more used to dealing with these things. And these songs and the clique have been there with me all the way, getting me through those dark nights, reminding me that I’m not alone in what I’m going through. And neither are you frens. We’ve made it this far. Together. Thank you all of you for existing 💛💛
There's a great app called NowTube and it has all of their songs. It's free too, and there's youtube videos on there too, like this one, and no audio ads. I love it, i've deleted spotify
it's kind of funny because my family keeps saying that I listen to TØP for the beat. but its totally different, it's like "family, just listen to the Lyrics"
I just had my first severe panic attack, like I couldn't breathe. So I grabbed my dog, laid down in bed and looked up TOP. When I saw this song, even tho it's been years, I knew it was perfect. It's still the same comfort song it always has been. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of so many memories, good and bad, and I'm so glad I found it again ||-//
do you ever get that feeling of being hit by a thousand bricks because you finally understand a song and realize you relate a little too much? because i just got that with this song and its my favorite and now i know why.
I watched and animation of friend please by "sassy skeleton" and it was beautiful. It helped me to understand the lyrics and I cried the second time watching it. I highly recommend it to anyone suicidal. And everyone else to. It's really good.
@@Emoo Because these songs (regional at best songs) are owned by the music label tøp used to work with called Warner Music and they started taking them all down from youtube
I DEMAND NO PHUN INTENDED AND REGIONAL AT BEST IN SPOTIFY *N O W* Edit: Y'all i said this four years ago and sadly, I'm not waiting anymore. 😔 I love tøps old music, but now I don't like them anymore.
+Cali Latet in be concerned they have a dude who's not in top sing in it. And be concerned is R@B. James and Tyler and close anyway, and iirc they're brothers. Could be thinking of someone else.
The glowing eyes are the people starting at him and the judgement he feel from him and he wants to create music so that they sing along WITH him instead of looking AT him and I think that's beautiful
So, uhm... What if the happy sounds in the background are a metaphor for everyone around the people who are suffering? Like, they're those melodies. Think about it. He says he'd rather make a song for the eyes to sing along to? If the song sounds happy, the eyes(happy people) will sing along, oblivious to anyone's suffering. He also talks about people 'who are flying straight', too. I think the song's about the feeling of alienation when you're depressed, the feeling that nobody understands your pain and you're weird and different. So. That's my theory, thanks for reading :)
I discovered this album during the best summer of my life where it seemed all anxiety just disappeared and everything was great. I probably listened to this entire album at least twice everyday (which is saying something since I had five hour swim meets and two swim practices everyday). Now, I have all my anxiety back and it’s worse than ever, but this album brings back all those memories of carefreeness. This album makes me happy. I FEEL happy now. Stay Alive |-/

James Mercer thank you for re-sharing this. I really needed this right now. School is destroying me. My friend is now bulling me really badly and I can't take it anymore. She's thinks it's funny but it's not. I just have to hide it and smile along with the joke.
That's TERRIBLE. I went through something similar; don't worry. If you haven't yet, stand up to her. I know it can be hard, but it helps once you do it. If it keeps happening, tell some sort of authority about it. If they don't help, talk to your friends about either helping you through it, or maybe they can help you stand up to that idiot. You shouldn't have to hide it and go along with it. Hope this helped! Stay Alive
Is it just me or do you only really truly know what a Twenty one pilot song says when it's late and your crying or having a breakdown the lyrics just hit different
a conversation me and my mum had while this was playing: Mum: is that those, uh, pirates? Me: Pilots. twenty one pilots. Mum: as in *imatates driving a plane* Me: Yes.
@@zephanshell15 the album Regional At Best- it has all these songs on it (well, duh) And don't worry I didn't know what it meant either once upon a time now look at me lol
I stopped listening to top for a long ass time and I came back for this song just now and might do a top binge tonight to revive my love for the babybeans.
Love going through the Depression Loop and returning to all my favorite songs I used to mope to when I was 14. This is a good one. I remember exactly how this made me feel when I first heard it.
aame SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same SAME same
i love this song cuz the way i think of the meaning i find so interesting: personally for me when you’re trying to work through depression you can sometimes purposely try and go back into that depression because you’re scared of getting better and tahts what i think this song is about, he knows there’s a way out he sees it but he rather hold onto what he knows which is that feeling of depression and anxiety and even tho he hates it and wants it to stop it’s what he knows it’s what he’s grown comfortable being in and i find that happening so interesting that you can grow so comfortable in something that hurts you so bad.
I Feel like most twenty-one pilot's haters don't understand the lyrics they just listen to the background music and then us lovers spend hours and hours trying to understand the lyrics then it finally clicks we understand we are proud and you haters we will not listen until you understand why we love them so much💖💖
at first i thought it was "Into rooms of SHIT" Me in the corner: T-tyler...? WHY then i replayed the lyrics and it said "Into rooms at DEPRESSION" What is wrong with me.
it's been four years since i last listened to this song. the nostalgia is real. and, let's just say i'm in a WAY better place than where i was when i first discovered twenty one pilots
people have probably already said this but you know what i noticed? "I'm holding onto what i know" "and i'll be holding onto you" "i want to know you" so, whoever 'you' is/are(?) in his case, is what he knows, and he's holding onto them? and also "while ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again" THE SELF TITLED COVER OMG
But if he's holding on to what he knows, and he has to let go of what he knows, he has to let go of you because he's holding on to you... These songs are puzzling... like puzzle pieces to one another.
*hears cute background music* aw this sounds like a happy song *depressing and terrifying words come out* *is actually crying* why am i relating to this.
Nothing in this world can make me feel more or make me more nostalgic than songs from this album. I come back here every year or so to cry and think about when I was young this band was getting me into music as a whole. The feeling of finding old Twenty One Pilots songs I had never heard before was magical and it’s kinda sad that I’m used to music now and not an 11 year old being blown away by how music can actually have meaning.
is it just me that thinks that the album "Regional At Best" is under-rated? I mean like, "Blurryface" and "Vessel" are the most known bc i barely ever hear tøp fans taking about "Regional At Best" and only hear them talking about the other albums
L. Lawliet A little off course of what you said, but people keep saying Slowtown is like Stressed Out. WHY DONT THEY SEE THE SIMILARITIES OF FALL AWAY AND HEAVYDIRTYSOUL?
I think its besause "no phun intended" and "Regional at best" is not on spotify. I have been listening to twenty one pilots for over a year and i discovered the 2 albums "Npi" and "RaB" just a month ago
The Clique is one of the most loving fandoms tbh, except for you know....Each other, at times. "Your favorite song is Stressed Out???!!1!! AAAA!!!!1" Not saying the whole Clique is like this....A few people I've seen. I love Stressed Out, but my favorite song is Glowing Eyes because....Josh....And Johnny Boy because I relate to it.
I love Glowing Eyes and Johnny Boy too! My other favorite is Friend Please! I remember the first song I heard by TØP was Tear In My Heart, and then Stressed Out. I hate how some fans hate Stressed Out just because it's popular! It's still an amazing, and meaningful song! |-/

"When you're happy, you enjoy the music. But, when you're sad, you understand the lyrics."
-Frank Ocean
Excerpt from "Not Today" by twenty øne piløts:
Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is

But Twenty One Pilots is such a good band because it's one less artist that isn't singing about drugs and sex.

*"I know some people who know people who are flying straight."*
I wonder if this line relates to how they got their name. They got the name Twenty One Pilots from the play All My Sons by Arthur Miller, for those of you who didn't know, in which a man sells faulty airplane parts during WWII causing the death of twenty-one pilots.
If you're flying straight, then you're all good, right? Life is going pretty good, and you have nothing to worry about. But for the pilots who died, they were falling, and they couldn't control the plane. So like they can't control their lives and the ultimate result of things.

Last summer I had anorexia and ended up in a psichiatric hospital, there were more people of my age with mental illines, there was another girl with anorexia, a little boy with esquizophrenia, a boy with depression because of bullying, and more precious people. All of them were different, and all of them had glowing eyes, all of them were pure, and all of us understood each other. We often talked about our parents always tell us that people had always to be right and how them son's friends where all doing good and we all had to do the same. I recovered quickly and I had to go from the hospital, they where my friends and I had to leave them with their problems, I had to say goodbay. But I knew I must let go.
For me this beautiful song means this.

Man it feels so fantastic to come back to these songs all these years later. I still know every single word to every single song Tyler/Tøp has put out. They were all I had when I was just a depressed kid
Me too
Real
Same ❤️
I don't know if there are official interpretations or if Tyler has said anything about the meaning of this song but if not, hear me out.
The glowing eyes are (for lack of a better word) demons that Tyler's experiencing. (I know there's been other people saying the glowing eyes represent society and how they're always watching him but this is what I first understood when I first heard this song.) The line "But do I want to say goodbye to all the glowing eyes" really sticks out to me. Speaking from experience, I know that depression is sort of comforting and that sometimes you'd rather stay in the comforting state that you're in, instead of seeking for help and recovering. "I'm holding on to what I know" I have two interpretations of this line, the first being that what he knows there is another way to live, that he hasn't let depression take over him. He's holding onto the idea that he can get better and that he will be happy again and won't let himself drift deep into depression. My second idea is that what he knows is depression and this mental state he's in. And he's holding onto staying where he is. Because recovery is a scary place, so he's holding onto where he's comfortable at. (Not sure if that made any sense). "But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along" with this line, I immediately assume the eyes are his demons. Like his doubt is taking over and he would rather play a song that his demons would approve of, that they would know that they're winning the war. Also the line, "While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again." I take that ceiling fans either a. is relating to suicide in a way, or b. is the time
you spend alone in your room. Upon googling the term "idle hands" I've found out it means "the devil makes work for idle hands". I think this relates to self-harm, as when you've found yourself alone in your room with your thoughts, your demons can slip in and take control.
but yeah that's sorta my take on the song. Not sure if any of that made sense or anything.
stay alive, frens
Anna Jahn MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
in the beginning, i totally also thought the glowing eyes were "demons". I feel like their songs can be interpreted in so many ways!
I actually really like this interpretation.
Tyler has said many times how you interpret the song is what the song is about to you.
I think this is a great interpretation of what is being said
im highkey worried this is gonna be deleted

I just rediscovered this song after about 3 years and I’m tearing up realizing that after all this time I still remember the lyrics. I listened to this song constantly back when I didn’t have a name for what I was feeling but TØP made me feel accepted and understood. Thank you to this community for being such a positive force in my life
I love this comment
bro same. i forgot this song existed. three years ago i was a super edgy pre-teen listening to this all the time. i only forgot about it because its not on spotify 🤷♂️
I had a similar thing happen with ride, when i was younger i heard the song on the radio and i loved it, i just didnt know what it was
Then, like 4-5 years later, i had just gotten into tøp, and was listening to Blurryface, and i heard it there, i almost died of happiness
@@average_german_lol8623 i've had a very similar feeling about bruno mars' doo wops and hooligans.
“this room is far too dark for us to stay around” i remember singing these words in the dark 5 years ago. looking back and singing this line again after overcoming my battle at the time makes me emotional.

You guys talk a lot about how happy it sounds for how dark the lyrics are, (I'm probably not the first to say this) but it's probably because depressed people often don't like to show their depression, in fact they seem happy sometimes.
Unfortunetly, infront of others they always seem happy. Usually depressed ones will seem too happy.
AM I SECRETLY DEPRESSED?????
@@diamondrg3556 Yes. Yes you are.
LISTEN I KNOW THIS ONES A CONTRIDICTION BECAUSE OF HoW HAPPY IT SOUNDS BUT THE LYRICS SO DOWN
because they fake their happiness
We're the glowing eyes.Think about it, he'd rather sing a song for the glowing eyes, our screens, our laptops, our phones, our tablets, make our faces glow as we listen to his music. We're the glowing eyes. He wants to keep singing for us, not to move on for what's waiting at him for the door, because it's the unknown. He's going to keep doing what he wants to do. Sing for the glowing eyes.
That makes a lot of sense!
You are a genius. I agree.
While I'd love to believe that, glowing eyes have always been a symbol of evil (darkness, demons, fear, bad thoughts), especially in cartoons. This song is about dissociation and being in denial about the darkness in your head; pretending the familiarity is good. The chorus shows this most: "I know theres someone at the door, they called for help of this I'm sure." This is likely referring to his conscience, telling him these "eyes" are bad for him. "But do I want to say goodbye, to all the glowing eyes?","I'm holding onto what I know, and what I know I must let go." He knows the eyes are bad for him, but they're all he knows and he's too scared to let go of the comfort the familiarity provides, although he knows he should. Kind of like "pretending enemies are frenemies" (mentioned in Kitchen Sink). "But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression, while ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again." Again, he knows they're bad for him but he'd rather sit with the familiar depression and lock himself away, staring at the ceiling fan while the thoughts tear him apart.
@@hellfrr I think there is some amount of genuine comfort from "the eyes". He'd rather sing a song the eyes can sing along too. Whether they're entirely good or not the glowing eyes are a part of all of us and there's something to be said about singing a song they can enjoy too. Amazing song and I love how many layers you can take away from it.
I love how everyone can have so many different of their own interpretations of TOP's music and what it's saying.
guys, i thought about this thing. it's weird.
so you guys know what tøp songs like these are like. happy music but depressing lyrics. but what if they did this to represent how you don't know what's going on in someone's life? i mean, someone can seem all happy and bubbly, like this song, but it's truly when you pay attention to the little details that the person, or the song, is actually going through some really depressing stuff.
that didn't make sense.
val I-/ that makes so much sense!!
val I-/ that makes sense to me
That makes a lot of sense to me
If you listen to 'Not today' at 00:41 Tyler himself points exactly this out :DDDD
It actually did
my question is...
HOW IN THE WORLD DO THEY MAKE THIS SOUND SO BUBBLY BUT IN REALITY, IT'S DEPRESSING AF?!!!
Lmao
Because it's TØP and their exists people in this world who can do that.
I thought you were going to say "where are the other 19 pilots"
That's is why I listen to tøp it it sounds happy but its actually depressing
They make it sound like a real person
All the lyrics are so important to me, but this one wins.
One time, I was really nervous and nothig would calm me down. I was having a panic attack, I was thinking a lot about really bad things and harming myself. And then, I remembered this song (and still don't knowing why I remembered it), and thought that I still have some people who cares about me. Ya know, a best friend, like Josh is to Tyler (and vice-versa). It helped me calm down, a little. Instead of doing something to myself that would make people sad later, I played this song (for the eyes to sing along).
And it worked. Thank you.
I am sorry if I wrote something wrong, english is not my mother language. I just wanted to pass to some people how important this song is, and not just for me, but for the whole clique. Stay Alive.
I know that you wrote this comment a long time ago, but it makes me feel good to know that this song helped people like this band helped me. Thank you for not hurting yourself
You said you don't know why you remembered this song, but remembering it helped you. God cares and reminds us of things when we need it
I don’t care about your grammar. The important thing is that you’re okay

Tyler's voice helps me escape the reality I live in. But when the music stops, the darkness closes in, little by little until the darkness completely consumes me. Music is my only light.
The Last Crybaby Pilot At The Chemical Disco! I feel the same way. My "friends" are starting to bully me for listening to music so often. Today my "friend" pushed my onto the floor really hard and my knee was badly hurt. I'm so sick of these people and school I just want to end my life now.

It’s interesting looking back. When I first found this song, I was in a much darker place than I am now. I’m still struggling of course but things have definitely gotten easier over the years, especially as I’ve gotten more used to dealing with these things. And these songs and the clique have been there with me all the way, getting me through those dark nights, reminding me that I’m not alone in what I’m going through. And neither are you frens. We’ve made it this far. Together. Thank you all of you for existing 💛💛

So, uhm... What if the happy sounds in the background are a metaphor for everyone around the people who are suffering? Like, they're those melodies. Think about it. He says he'd rather make a song for the eyes to sing along to? If the song sounds happy, the eyes(happy people) will sing along, oblivious to anyone's suffering. He also talks about people 'who are flying straight', too. I think the song's about the feeling of alienation when you're depressed, the feeling that nobody understands your pain and you're weird and different. So. That's my theory, thanks for reading :)
wOaH
Amazing interpretation I agree
Wom. That makes a lot of sense.

It also makes the ending of the song [where he says make it stop when the voices sing along] make much more sense. It really cuts deep.

Stay Alive |-/
102 Reasons why you should stay alive 1. We would miss you.
2. It's not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you.
3. It does get better. Believe it or not it will eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow.
4. There's so much you would miss out on doing.
5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there.
6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself.
7. You ARE worth it. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise.
8. You are amazing.
9. A time will come, once you've battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won't regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better.
10. What about all the things you've always wanted to do? What about the things you've planned, but never got around to doing? You can't do them when you're dead.
11. I love you. Even if only one person loves you, that's still a reason to stay alive.
12. You won't be able to listen to music if you die.
13. Killing yourself is never worth it. You'll hurt both yourself and all the people you care about.
14. There are so many people that would miss you, including me.
15. You're preventing a future generation, YOUR KIDS, from even being born.
16. How do you think your family would feel? Would it improve their lives if you died?

James Mercer thank you for re-sharing this. I really needed this right now. School is destroying me. My friend is now bulling me really badly and I can't take it anymore. She's thinks it's funny but it's not. I just have to hide it and smile along with the joke.
That's TERRIBLE. I went through something similar; don't worry. If you haven't yet, stand up to her. I know it can be hard, but it helps once you do it. If it keeps happening, tell some sort of authority about it. If they don't help, talk to your friends about either helping you through it, or maybe they can help you stand up to that idiot. You shouldn't have to hide it and go along with it.
Hope this helped! Stay Alive
One of my favorite twenty one pilots song. So deep but the music is so cheerful.
Is it just me or do you only really truly know what a Twenty one pilot song says when it's late and your crying or having a breakdown the lyrics just hit different
you are so right..
Me atmmm
IKR
dam
true dat doe
yes I can confirm rn
a conversation me and my mum had while this was playing:
Mum: is that those, uh, pirates?
Me: Pilots. twenty one pilots.
Mum: as in *imatates driving a plane*
Me: Yes.
my mom calls them plants so at least yours was a little closer lmao
Dude look at my name
Lucy xox your mum's great XD
XD Yep!
Good
I feel like the lyrics kind of describe how everyone feels about all the RAB songs being taken down...
Long live RAB
Serious question - and maybe im just stupid - but what is RAB? Its all over the place in these comments and im clueless
@@zephanshell15 the album Regional At Best- it has all these songs on it (well, duh)
And don't worry I didn't know what it meant either once upon a time now look at me lol
Ah, thanks
*MAKE THEM STOP* (Taking it down)
I stopped listening to top for a long ass time and I came back for this song just now and might do a top binge tonight to revive my love for the babybeans.
That's a great idea.
Not listeng to top for a while (a week or more) is self harm.
I just realized that Twenty One Pilots is basically a meme. Sprinkle some joy over the pain and now we can enjoy it
DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO RAGE BECAUSE REGIONAL AT BEST ISNT ON SPOTIFY???

Love going through the Depression Loop and returning to all my favorite songs I used to mope to when I was 14. This is a good one. I remember exactly how this made me feel when I first heard it.
I went to the TØP concert Saturday, and when they played this song I got so excited lmao
I was there too
THEY PLAYED GLOWING EYES AT YOUR CONCERT?
WHAAAAAT
My fave tøp song:)

" I know this ones a contradiction because of how happy it sounds...but the lyrics are so down"
i love this song cuz the way i think of the meaning i find so interesting: personally for me when you’re trying to work through depression you can sometimes purposely try and go back into that depression because you’re scared of getting better and tahts what i think this song is about, he knows there’s a way out he sees it but he rather hold onto what he knows which is that feeling of depression and anxiety and even tho he hates it and wants it to stop it’s what he knows it’s what he’s grown comfortable being in and i find that happening so interesting that you can grow so comfortable in something that hurts you so bad.

This song is actually quite relatable.🎶 My favorite line is, "We all have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is."

normal people: *keeps listening the song ‘cause there’s nothing of special*
me: OH LORD THIS IS JOSH DISKOSJS WHAT AN ANGEL VOICE *screams*
nøemi. It’s not
Sean Patrick Wait it’s not??
Kailey Cerny no it’s someone names James Truslow
If it is, I'm so happy now!
DKMSKNDJ DKSD OMG HIS VOICE IS SO CUTE I CAN'T
This is the only song that managed to stay alive the longest. I love this song. I'm so glad it didn't get taken down

*cries cuz josh needs more singing parts*
Sheila Ryan YES
He sounds so precious
Pretty sure it's Tyler's brother
I thought it was Chris bc Josh want in the band yet (I may be wrong idk)
This track is from Regional At Best, which was the first album with just Tyler and Josh.
I Feel like most twenty-one pilot's haters don't understand the lyrics they just listen to the background music and then us lovers spend hours and hours trying to understand the lyrics then it finally clicks we understand we are proud and you haters we will not listen until you understand why we love them so much💖💖
at first i thought it was "Into rooms of SHIT"
Me in the corner: T-tyler...? WHY
then i replayed the lyrics and it said "Into rooms at DEPRESSION"
What is wrong with me.
XD SAMEEE
Glad to hear XD
XD HOORAY FOR NOT BEING ALONE
Yaay
XDDDDD
it's been four years since i last listened to this song. the nostalgia is real. and, let's just say i'm in a WAY better place than where i was when i first discovered twenty one pilots
people have probably already said this but you know what i noticed?
"I'm holding onto what i know"
"and i'll be holding onto you"
"i want to know you"
so, whoever 'you' is/are(?) in his case, is what he knows, and he's holding onto them?
and also "while ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again" THE SELF TITLED COVER OMG
meme demon God is that "you"
Finally found the comment I was hoping to find
meme demon
FALL AWAY = HEAVYDIRTYSOUL
SPREAD THE WORD
But if he's holding on to what he knows, and he has to let go of what he knows, he has to let go of you because he's holding on to you... These songs are puzzling... like puzzle pieces to one another.
God
why. is. this. song. not. on. spotify.
*edit* MOM I'M FAMOUS! DO YOU LOVE ME YET?
not a cactus I swear
It is actually a bonus track on vessel on Spotify xx
not a cactus I swear they need to put regional at best on Spotify!!
Eminjay THANK YOU!
Carrie Thurman Preaaach
not a cactus I swear Yeah I know I am super mad but you know, they have a bunch of other good songs on spotify too.
*hears cute background music*
aw this sounds like a happy song
*depressing and terrifying words come out*
*is actually crying* why am i relating to this.
Nothing in this world can make me feel more or make me more nostalgic than songs from this album. I come back here every year or so to cry and think about when I was young this band was getting me into music as a whole. The feeling of finding old Twenty One Pilots songs I had never heard before was magical and it’s kinda sad that I’m used to music now and not an 11 year old being blown away by how music can actually have meaning.
is it just me that thinks that the album "Regional At Best" is under-rated?
I mean like, "Blurryface" and "Vessel" are the most known bc i barely ever hear tøp fans taking about "Regional At Best" and only hear them talking about the other albums
I love all of their albums, and Tyler's solo album.
L. Lawliet
A little off course of what you said, but people keep saying Slowtown is like Stressed Out. WHY DONT THEY SEE THE SIMILARITIES OF FALL AWAY AND HEAVYDIRTYSOUL?
I think its besause "no phun intended" and "Regional at best" is not on spotify. I have been listening to twenty one pilots for over a year and i discovered the 2 albums "Npi" and "RaB" just a month ago
L. Lawliet YEAH Regional At Best is (in my opinion) their best album!! Actually, it’s currently tied with No Phun Intended.
L. Lawliet w
The Clique is one of the most loving fandoms tbh, except for you know....Each other, at times. "Your favorite song is Stressed Out???!!1!! AAAA!!!!1" Not saying the whole Clique is like this....A few people I've seen. I love Stressed Out, but my favorite song is Glowing Eyes because....Josh....And Johnny Boy because I relate to it.
I love Glowing Eyes and Johnny Boy too! My other favorite is Friend Please! I remember the first song I heard by TØP was Tear In My Heart, and then Stressed Out. I hate how some fans hate Stressed Out just because it's popular! It's still an amazing, and meaningful song! |-/
