I’d highly recommend watching a video called “How Twenty One Pilots Tell a Story” It doesn’t pertain to this music video specifically, but it explains the baseline of all the lore surrounding Trench in a really easy to understand way. It doesn’t go super in-depth or mention into all the metaphors present, but it does a fantastic job summing up the lore overall up until that point in time
@@MNMHub the chlorine is like a proyect (confirmed by Mark, the guy who records a lot of videos for them and the director from chlorine), something they are creating, and Ned (Neuronal Expansion Device) needs it. The end with the glass is Tyler suggesting a new proyect to Ned but he didn't like it because not all ideas are good. Tyler speaks about using toxic sustances to help his creavity which can be good or bad. Through a lot of scaled and icy he talks about this idea to, and if you watch the outside music video you will have more context about Ned, for exmple, that he is necessary to defeat the bishops. Fun fact: tyler upload a story a few years ago with a lil ned and dark light, saying that he was in a block of creativity and after some months, he uploaded another with a big Ned, a blue/pink friendly lightning, hearts, cute filters etc because he was being very creative during that moment.
ned!! ned!! ned!! he represents tyler’s creativity. ned and josh are the 2 “people” being the biggest help in his journey through dema and even trench (aka his mental health and bad thought)
agree, immaculate production on this track. before they released the Trench album they took a year hiatus to write the album and take a break from all the press and stuff they did after how successful Stressed Out and Blurryface got. The distorted voices at the start 'so where are ya?' 'it's been a little while' was from one of their first interviews when the album was released and then i think the lines 'i'm so sorry i forgot you, let me catch you up to speed, i've been tested like a weathered flag that's by the sea' might also be a sorta apology to their fans for their long absence. tyler also talks about feeling overwhelemed by how fast things were moving for them and needing a break in the final song on the album.

I should probably add a bit of a spoiler warning though, as the video does play snippets of songs deeper in the album
0:15 wait till you see how many Stressed Out has lol
The little guys name is Ned and he represents Tyler's creativity
right, so his creativity was trying to hide. And he was using chlorine as fuel for his creativity. Hope I'm getting this right haha

@@reylui0250 awesome, this really helps with understanding the song more. Love the metaphors he uses tho!
@@MNMHub your welcome, I would explain it better in my native language (spanish) but it's ok
@@reylui0250 didn’t even notice mate, your English is really good!

Yea they definitely thought long and hard for this album!
Music video, yes, but more like a music video puzzle! You really have to dig into the lyrics to get this one!
