| @[auroraquinn:20979] I actually like this interpretation better than most, probably due to the fact that I'm not religious either. I also relate to this a lot, and I'm glad someone had an interpretation without mentioning God. | |
| Twenty One Pilots – Screen Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I feel like this song means different things to different people. For me, this song is about trying to hide your depression/suicidal thoughts from the person you love most. Of course, that person knows you better than that, and can tell when you're not alright. ("Don't know why I think I can lie") This song, like many other TØP songs, is about putting on a mask and hiding the fact that you are *not* okay. But, that's just my interpretation, I know everyone has their own message that goes with this song. | |
| Twenty One Pilots – Johnny Boy Lyrics | 7 years ago |

This song, to me, is about a man named Johnny who was in a marriage that is failed, and fell q in love with a different woman. He is too good a man to tell his wife, or express his true feelings to the other woman, and becomes depressed. He eventually tries to kill himself. The song is sung in the point of view of someone who cares about Johnny. "He stays home from work this time- He never really told his wife- He never really told a lie but this time he decides that it's alright.- It's alright." He stays home from work out of his depression and his decision to kill himself. He doesn't tell his wife anything, and hasn't even lied much in his life until he falls for the other woman and becomes depressed. He doesn't want to hurt her, and decides that its alright to lie to her about it for now. "No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes." No one really understands him and his feelings. "The man deserves a medal- But he's never really won a prize before." The friend tries to explain that Johnny was a good man, and did a lot of good in his life, even though he wasn't perfect. "He goes to lock the door.- He is falling in love- He knows it's enough- And the world looks down and frowns" He locks the door because he decides to kill himself. He fell in love with someone else and is so ashamed that he decides it is reason enough to kill himself. He feels like everyone will hate him for what he feels. "Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy- Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground- You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy.-Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now." This is the friend telling Johnny to get up off the ground after his suicide attempt. No one noticed his depression, or no one cared enough, and left him lying on the ground. The friend is very close to Johnny and calls him his/her pride and joy. Before his depression, Johnny was very caring and helped a lot of people, so his suicide attempt affected a lot of people that needed him. "Someone said, "Where you going?"- Someone said to you, "Goodbye."-They deflect the disrespect when they say that they blame it on the times." Before his suicide attempt, people went about their daily lives, and they didn't really pay attention to what they said. A few people may have said things that impacted Johnny in a bigger and much more negative way than they intended, which lead to his decision to kill himself. After his suicide attempt, many people said that it was because of the world today, instead of looking at themselves and seeing what they had done wrong. "We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife" Johnny was "qualified" to love his wife, which he did, before the marriage failed. He was qualified to fix a chair as in, he was qualified to fix the chair he stood on when he hung himself. "I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame- And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame- And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame" This is the friend saying that new will carry his name and keep it from being tarnished. He will also carry his shame by explaining to everyone what really happened. |

This song, to me, is about a man named Johnny who falls in love with a woman who is not his wife. He is ashamed about it, and doesn't tell his wife or the other woman, and eventually becomes depressed and kills himself over it. The song is sung from the point of view of a close friend/relative who cares about him. He "stays home from work this time. He never really told his wife. He never really told a lie but this time he decides that it's alright." He stays home from work out of depression and his decision to kill himself. He hasn't told his wife about his depression or the other woman but doesn't want to hurt her, so "he decides that it's alright." "No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes" no one knows his true feelings, and no one understands him. He "deserves a medal" because he is a good man in the eyes of the friend. He is "falling in love and he knows its enough" He loves the other woman and feels that it is reason enough to kill himself. |
