| @[julius1848:14280] I think you're right on all counts. I'm quite certain Tyler doesn't advocate alcohol or drugs to kill your mind, but I'm equally certain the temptation is always there. I read somewhere that Tyler is a Christian, and I do believe he gives voice to his own struggles in his songs, which would explain why he sings about depression with such happy music. The music is the hope he has in God through Christ. I'm a 47-year-old Christian who thought Christians never got depressed... until I went through several cycles of depression myself. I learned that the Bible is FULL of people experiencing depression from Joseph to Moses to David to the Sons of Korah (who wrote, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42:5 NIV http://bible.com/111/psa.42.5.niv) to Elijah to Jesus himself to the Apostle Paul. It was mostly in my teens and 20s, but it surfaces in weird ways even still. Yet I also know the hope that Tyler points to. Unfortunately, too many people in church believe you have to have it all together to come to church or to God at all. Not true. Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Tyler Joseph has found that rest, and he uses his songs to shine light in the darkness for those who are searching for a path out of the dark forest. | |
