| Twenty One Pilots – Taxi Cab Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| Man, this song just means everything to me. I'm not religious whatsoever, but it just for me describes my struggles with depression, the night, and starting over. That last line of his rap is just... so powerful for me. I love it so much and I can listen to it on repeat for hours. | |
| Twenty One Pilots – Message Man Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run" That kind of reminds me of their older song The Run and Go. I know he isn't legitimately talking about killing a man in that song, or this one, but it's kinda funny to imagine a hidden message since this song is like him saying no one knows the truth about him really, and they can only guess and have the songs mean something personal to them as well. But what if he really did kill someone?! Kidding. But yeah. I like that connection, and I love this song. |

| Twenty One Pilots – Kitchen Sink Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
There's a bit of a debate between fans about what the lyric actually is, "I'm a kitchen sink" or "At my kitchen sink" He said something significant happened to him at a kitchen sink, and from the way I hear it, I honestly used to think it's "at my kitchen sink". But then what he said about it being something that only he knows the meaning of, how everyone kind of has something like that, it could also be "I'm a kitchen sink". Either way, nobody knows what it means, regardless of which it actually is. The best part is that nobody can actually tell what he is actually saying. So many people say they hear one of the lyrics or the other. I personally always sing "at my kitchen sink", and that's just what I hear and what it means to me. But to others it's something else. And I think that's really beautiful and clever, whether he meant to do it that way or not. Knowing him... he might have. He's real clever. |

Just wanna point out for anyone who is interested that this song makes a connection to "Clear" from their first album, in which Tyler sings "I wish that I had two faces" In this song, he sings "I've got two faces". |

| @[curiazadeh:12520] Thank you for this. I've been trying to wrap my head around that lyric for awhile, and this explanation makes so much sense to me, especially because I feel that exact same way. | |

"There's a stomach inside my brain" I think Tyler is so insightful and smart and clever and just... amazing, but he doesn't even know it. This lyric caught my attention because there is actually something called the "enteric nervous system" and it is in your stomach. Some scientists refer to it as "The Other Brain". Literally. Something like 50% of your body's serotonin and 90% of your body's dopamine LIVES in your stomach, in that "other brain". These are chemicals often associated with depression and anxiety disorders. I just found that so interesting. I know he was saying there's a stomach inside his brain, not vice versa, but it's still interesting to me, even if he didn't mean for anyone to make that connection at all. |

@[LindRawr:12519] I was going to quote the two parts that you quoted from his rap verse. I have anxiety, and I relate to some of these lyrics so much, it just feels like he's describing exactly how it makes me feel. "I don't understand why everything I adore takes a different form when I close my eyes", followed by the part about the eyelashes and such. That's just what it's like for me. And then in the end of it all, the anxiety attack or the panic attack, when I start to get ahold of myself again... "my tree house is on fire and for some reason I smell gas on my hands, this is not what I had planned". You start to feel like it's your fault, because you can't get control over your worries, fears, anxieties. It takes over and you go down this path in your head, or maybe the wrong path in the forest in the terms of this song, and you just... start listening to the worries and believing it's true and seeing things distorted. And at the end you didn't mean for any of that to happen, even if it all happened in your head. |

I love the way this connects to Goner. Don't know if it was on purpose, but I oved making this connection. "I wish that I had two faces" / "I've got two faces" One of my favorite TOP songs. After reading these comments and learning the meaning I love it even more now, but I wanted to share the connection I made, too. |

For me, this song is about loving someone who is depressed and you can't reach them. The second verse sounds a little more like they've broken up and the one being written about is moving on, and the person talking is a stalker (which is creepy), but I don't think that's what the songs is about. Honestly, the person who is singing may be depressed, too, or something. I just know I've been in relationships where I can't reach the person. Feel like I'm watching, waiting, aching. Just wanting to help them but you can't reach them, they can't hear you, they're not opening up. This part makes me feel this way especially: Sick of the lack of signal Sick of the lack of touch Sick of the static voice It's not enough, it's not enough Baby it's hard to be, just what you need When all I speak is static screams Even if I'm wrong, it's a beautiful, haunting song. |

| PVRIS – My House Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| I think this song is about depression, or anxiety, or anything that can haunt a person. For me, it reminds me of my depression/anxiety, and the voices I hear from my abusive mother. Not really voices, but the echoes. I notice Lynn uses ghosts and haunting to compare to stuff like mental health issues. I love that. Especially because it can be interpreted in so many ways. But I know what it means to me, I stated it above, and then it's just about fighting back. I love it. | |
| PVRIS – Eyelids Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| I relate so much to this song. I'm almost 2 years into a long distance relationship, and during the first year this song was... so comforting for me. It described perfectly how I felt, never wanting to go to sleep, hating the morning, not being able to find them in the dark when you're finally without them again. We made it through the darker, harder parts of the distance and in August we're finally gonna move in together. Wouldn't have made it through without this song. | |
