Twenty One Pilots – Pet Cheetah Lyrics 5 years ago
-I am on an island, no one to confide
-Eight days straight, eight hours each and not one line
-I can feel pressure start to possess my mind
-So, I'll take this beat I should delete to exercise.

In this verse Tyler is basically saying that he is isolated and has no one to confide in. He then gives a time period sort to speak in which he stays without saying a single word. Anyone can feel pressure or anxiety build up in them if they stay quiet for that long. So he uses the beat that he feels isn't good according to his standards to practice talking (writing music).
Chorus
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
I'll sit here 'til I find the problem
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
I'll sit here 'til I find the problem

Tyler is describing himself as one who moves slow (takes his time) and that he wishes he could stop time so that he could sit there and try to figure out what the problem is in his life(himself).

-I've got a pet cheetah down in my basement
I've raised him, and bathed him
And named him Jason Statham
I've trained him to makre me these beats
Now my pet cheetah's quicker in the studio than on his feet

I think the pet cheetah represents his passion. His grown his passion, cleaned it and removed all negative sides of it.(fame, pride etc). Naming it Jason Statham just means that he has strengthened it.( Jason Statham is never weak in his movies, the man's a bad ass). Now his trained himself to make beats and now he is better at making beats than writing music.

-I'ma get mine and get going
I'm showing my faces in just enough places
I'm done with tip-toeing, I'll stay in my room
My house is the one where the vultures are perched on the roof
Get behind me, I bet this nepotistic mindset
Will help us get ours as we're growing
This clique means so much to this dude
It could make him afraid of his music
And be scared to death he could lose it

His going to get his share of Fame and fortune and not show his face to much because his a celebrity (not confident on that one). So his done with the life of a celebrity in which one has to moves discretely avoiding the attention of the the paparazzi but instead stays home(retirement) his house has vultures on the roof because something is Dead inside it. Probably he feels Dead inside. The love of his family and friends will help him get his share of Fame and fortune as the band gets bigger. The clique refers to his family and friends and that makes him afraid of his music because loosing it can make him lose them.
Thank you for read I know it's not perfect but any comment is appreciated and please don't take this to heart it's just my personal understanding.
