| Twenty One Pilots – Implicit Demand for Proof Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| There's no need to reiterate what everyone has said here. The song is obviously challenging God. I just want to that MAN is this song emotional. He feels alone and wonders if God is really there and it's come to the point that he's ready to die. He just wants to see God. It's beautiful and most of us have reached that point of "I know it would kill me to see your face, but I don't care anymore; I want to see you" at some time or other. I just find it really intense and relatable. | |
| Twenty One Pilots – Air Catcher Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Air Catcher was the first song from this album to really catch my attention and I listened to it nonstop for a few months. I absolutely love this song and this is what it means to me. I fall straight down You've stolen my air catcher That kept me safe and sound My parachutes will get me Safely to ground But now the cord's not working And I see you staring me down> I've always thought of "you" as being someone or something that's negatively affecting his life. Such as a toxic friend, illness, or just bad situations. I like to think of "you" as depression or anxiety, but it's totally open to whatever you're personally dealing with. The parachute is something that's been helping him in his life, and "you" breaks the parachute, and suddenly he's free falling. The moon in a pretty contest And the moon just happened to be The very first thing that I missed I was doing fine on my own And there wasn't much I lacked But you've stolen my air catcher And I don't know if I want it back> The problem is beautiful, like how depression and things like it can be really poetic and make life more interesting. He was doing alright before the problem showed up. When it did come, it messed up his life, but made it more interesting and he's not sure he wants to be free of this problem. Love with falling I will try to avoid Those eyes> The chorus is about how he's not going to let "you" control his life. People tend to own their problems in a way, and they don't want to let them go. In other words, there's a part of them that's "in love with falling." It's the same with friends whom you like but are bad for you. He's trying not to become attached to this problem. He doesn't want to give it/them the information or control that will destroy him. So I'll write my fears And I don't believe In talking just to breathe And falling selfishly> The bridge is a little less straightforward. The first part seems to be talking more about his resistance to give the problem authority, and the second about how keeping this problem around (especially long enough for it to become bad enough that he dies or something) is selfish. Love with falling I will try to avoid Those eyes But now I'm here To give you words As tools that can destroy My heart> The last chorus is my favorite part because it's not a victory. It starts out the same as before, he's trying to resist, but despite that, he still gives up and gives the problem what it needs to destroy him. Anyway, that's just how I see it. Thanks for reading my really long comment; I hope you got something out of it. |

| Twenty One Pilots – Hometown Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[R:15309]íøna I actually think that "hometown" is not Heaven, but earth. And "our" would be all the people. It's dark because, like you said, people are turning from God and God is the light. I think this is part of his earlier request--he's telling God his predicament. Just my thoughts. | |
| Twenty One Pilots – Trapdoor Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| "He used to see dreams at night, but now he's just watching the backs of his eyes" also, it sounds like he used to have dreams and hopes, but now he only sees the reality, which, to him, for lack of a better word, sucks. | |
