Twenty One Pilots – Fake You Out Lyrics 9 years ago
Me personally, i think this song is about depression. At the beginning he says "in the night, headlights call my name" he's thinking about walking into traffic. Then he goes on to say "I'll never be, be what you see inside. You say I'm not alone, but i am petrified. You say that you are close, is close the closest star? You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far. And I'll fall, and I'll break and I'll fake. All i wanna" i think he is feeling a little worthless. Or feels like hes not living up to the persons standards. He thinks he isn't good enough. He don't want to disappoint the person by tell them about his depression and suicidal thoughts so he hides them inside and its slowly starting to break him, but he isn't gonna show it. Then he goes on talk to about bleeding lines on his wrist, which is cutting. He also talks about kids committing suicide because they feel like they have no control over themselves, their thoughts & their lives. He goes on to say "our brains are sick but thats okay" thats him saying its okay not to be okay. Earlier in the song he says "I'm so afraid of what you have to say, cause i am quite now & silence gives you space" i think he is talking to his depression. Or his mind i guess you could say. When you're depressed and you're with others is easier to ignore the thoughts. But when you're alone and you're quiet, they become loud and suffocating and theres no way to stop it. "I'm so afraid of what you have to say" he's afraid of his mind and what kind of thoughts hes gonna have whrn he's alone.

Twenty One Pilots – Truce Lyrics 9 years ago
Everyone has tried to analyze the whole song, but i want to focus on one part. "The sun will rise and we will try again". I think that is my absolute favorite quote ever, or one of them at least. I'm atheist. But i know both tyler & josh are religious. And i think thats great! But me personally, i feel like they make their music for others to interpret in their own way. So, the way i see it is, he's talking about depression. He's saying that tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow you can start over and try to be better than you were the day before. I've been dealing with depression for about 5 years now, and i got that lyric tattooed on my forearm. Twenty one pilots gave me a purpose. & i know this sight is for explaining lyrics, but i feel like this quote is something everyone can relate to. We've all done something we weren't proud of whether it be while depressed or just in general. This quote is saying that you can walk up tomorrow and wash all of that guilt and depression off of you as the morning sun rises. Hes saying its a bad day, not a bad life. So, forget what you did the day before & try your best to move on and have a good day
