    Tyler writes all of the songs. Many of which focus on his personal battles with depression and insecurities and seeking God. TOP has very deep biblical themes in many of their songs that are written in a way to be interpreted by non believers in relation to their own demons or problems. Tyler battles a lot with the theme of flesh vs spirit, his two sides of the real him and “Blurryface” which is the darker thoughts.

    I don't know if it's just me, but when I see someone appreciate Tyler and/or Josh, I feel really proud. Like I'm showing a parent a video of my best friend singing, and feeling proud of them.
    I don't know Tyler, but still feel so connected with them, and really happy when someone can appreciate his creativity.

    Tyler is not a drug addict. That is not what he’s talking about. He was raised evangelical Christian and still is. Much of his writing is, at it’s core, an expression of the internal war between the flesh and the spirit, between doing what God calls you to do, and doing what our sinful nature wants to do. It’s also a struggle with faith and the frustration that comes from dedicating your life to something you cannot perceive with your senses. This is a young man crying out to God, asking Him for direct evidence of His existence. It is a rare, open expression of doubt, and continuing to believe in spite of those doubts. It is faith.

      I thinkk something thats so unique and interest about TØP is that their music can be interpreted in so many ways, no matter the theme was. Tyler encourages people to find their own meaning in the words he writes so the meaning can be whatever they want it to be to best help to the listener

    I totally get why the title implies the addict is a drug addict. From what I understand, and my interpretation is that he is crying it for help from God because he is struggling with his mental illness. The cycle thing still applies with the addiction and people who battle mental health issues. It could be either. He did write it. He writes all his own music. He's amazing. Watching him sing this breaks my heart. There is so much feeling and pain and anguish in his voice and on his face. I just want to give him a hug. I love your reactions to the boys. Please keep going! Kitchen Sink, Forest, Goner (live at the Fox theater). All amazing. Anything by then is amazing.

      Agree, fren! 😉 It's not a concert when you experience TØP live... It's a community; a connection. It's crazy-hard to verbalize this particular vibe, unless you've been a part of it. It's like you just KNOW you're in a room full of perfect strangers who all feel things on another level: no ego, or not to sound like I'm exalting the 'clique,' bc I think most TØP fans would not consider themselves above someone else based on this musical interest or standard. No, not a "better/higher level," just a "different" level.... A shared intimacy in a melodic form, if you will.
      I do not know one person who has attended alive show who WASN'T brought to tears at some point. Those two bøis carry something in their spirits that reaches into the depths of their fans' souls! It's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

    Tyler’s addiction in question is writing letters like songs to God, because he is almost committing the crime of self harm and suicide in Christianity. He is apologizing to his god for doing those things and asking him for help even though he haven’t been recently focused on that. The way he calls it an addiction is crazy because this means that is pretty common to him writing songs apologizing.
    I really like twenty one pilots, all their lyrics are pretty deep and relatable if you have some of these alterations like depression, anxiety and stress. Personally one of my favorites is addict with a pen but you should listen to Holding on to You.
    Holding on to you is pretty deep too, it talks about how everything is just too much for him, and he needs the company of someone who can be with him in those situations, he also talks for us. You should react to this one.
    Keep going and, thank you for your work, I really like your reactions! We are thankful

    This song always brings me to tears, as a fellow Christian searching for God. I struggled with my sexuality a few years ago and you know, being a Christian doesn't really go well with being anything but straight, so I had given up on my faith. And I was so empty inside, so miserable, trying to hold onto the last drops of life in my hands...
    Then I found Twenty one pilots. And I was no longer alone, Tyler's lyrics represented so well what I was feeling, so I clinged onto them. And this is probably what saved me.
    So, thank you for reacting to them - I am certain they have helped many others as well with a wild variation of problems and sharing more of their songs might help more people, thank you!

    I've seen them in concert three times and it is so magical. The first time was back in 2014 and I was so unbelievably depressed back then. I remember they were playing "screen" and everyone was just screaming "we're broken people" over and over again and I just started sobbing. That was the moment I decided that I wasn't alone and that life was worth living. Twenty One Pilots is so much more than music to so many people and I am so grateful for them because they are a big part of the reason I'm still here today.

    Thank you so much for this. I haven’t heard this song in a really long time, so this brought me back to my high school years. This song, and this band, were one of my strongest anchors in some really really rough parts of my life. I’ve moved from them to other bands for comfort (mostly My Chemical Romance) but they will always have a special meaning to me.
    I’ve seen them twice, and plan to see them again this next fall. There’s nothing quite like hearing crowds of people you don’t know shouting together, “We made it!”

    • @larissa1770

      As a Christian this song is INCREDIBLY personal for someone with a religious background like Tyler. When he says “I’m just lying here screaming..wash me with your water”. Almost every religious person I’ve talked to has been in this situation because you are expecting this greater power to rescue you. In many churches (well at least the ones I’ve been too) we do not talk about the “frustrations” “doubts” “desperation” “fear” and “sadness” …we feel when our faith becomes questionable because we think God doesn’t care or hear us. I remember having dreams of being in a dessert just like Tyler mentioned the dessert!
      Thankfully I’m no longer in that situation and I feel closer to God ☺️

You can listen to nearly every song and find another meaning( layer) that you didn't notice before.

    I highly suggest No Children by The Mountain Goats.
    It's such an interesting song for how the lyrics are sung.
    And I never completely understood it, even though I relate to it.
    Two people, who used to be married are on a mutual path of self destruction.
    Like hoping the fences with mended come crashing down.
    That the last few friends never forgive them.
    It's a very angry song, but the delivery is not what you'd expect. And imo the psychology behind the scenario would be fantastic for you to analyze.

    You should check out some of his newer songs too. I think it's a lot less obvious in his newer songs and some people say that it has no meaning anymore but I think it's just a lot more subtle and if you look into it you discover more and more. I'm not saying you need to get into right now but the world of TOP is so much bigger than you can imagine. Every song is part of a story line of him battling his feelings and it gets pretty crazy. Great vid btw!

    Truly love all the comments here, really adds clarity and perspective, even though I have never been into "religion" I have had my extremely deep moments of spirituality., I started playing guitar and singing because of music from Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, etc... I grew up loving Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, AC/DC etc... But something about those previously mentioned Christian groups has from time to time opened my heart enormously at times, even though I don't believe in a Sky Daddy, maybe it was all the insanity I grew up in. I apply Addict With A Pen to my estranged relationship with my 21 year old Son. It has been extremely challenging, and every time I hear this song that is exactly where I go. It moves me deeply and causes me to think about him. Just amazing to me the many different ways music touches different people, wish you all the very best in life, love & relationships.

    A lot of Tøp’s music is meant to be interpreted how you see it and theirs tons of ways to interpret. I see this song as not only a biblical song but using writing his songs as a form of escape. That’s soemthing that’s truly great about Tyler’s writing, it holds a different message for everyone. A whole concert could be singing along and it would each have a different meaning.

  • @joecyr5836
    @joecyr5836 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So Tyler Joseph is a very religious person especially back then and a lot of his songs have to do with his relationship with God. The doubt he has in his own faith in the fact that he isn’t a good “son”. He’s in a constant struggle of his doubt about his place and what he believes is God‘s plan. In here, he sings about how he doesn’t have a drop of “you” (God) and how he feels empty without him. Almost as if his life didn’t have meaning with his depression. But he still holds onto his belief in God. He sings in another song, “ don’t forget about me, cause even when I doubt you, I’m no good without you”. Really a poet and an amazing musician. Loved the video! And hope to see more :)

    @sleepy_tvv4802 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    To me this song has to deal with his depression and happniess. The desert is his mind, the drop that he i reffering to is his happnies. When he mentions life( "I haven't found a drop of life.") it's talking about how depressed people usualy have a harder time with motovation, idea's, and just happniess. He talks about how he was running through the sand with the water in his hand, this atleast to me represents how he is trying to not fall back into depression. Again when he says "the waves mean nothing to me." he's saying that all he needs is just that drop of happniess to keep afloat. Then he talks about how the sand (his depression) slows him down and the water in his hand (his happniess) will drain. Then he says "im just being dramatic agian as an addict with a pen who'se spinelss and pretend." that to me is him talking to others about his drepression and not being open about it and then he talks about "but you specialise in dieing, you hear me screaming father so wash me with your water." is him trying to take his life.
    Conclusion
    I find this interpretation verry basic and doesnt scratch the surface of the meaning. This is a great song and I cannot wait to watch the Rest of Reaction Therapy's video's to get a further sense of were he is coming from. All in all, Basic not deep enough.
