Twenty One Pilots – Nico and the Niners Lyrics 6 years ago
@[Moonbeam86:31759] so I looked at the meaning behind the song (authentic as far as I could tell) and you were actually spot on. Dema is a fictional city the narrator lives in. And the bishops (nico and the niners) are the ones controlling the city. They supposedly represent depression (or other mental illnesses) and the narrator's goal is to escape dema & the bishops. To escape depression. And eventually the narrator encounters a group of rebels who wear yellow jumpsuits. And eventually they all escape. But as the song states "not everyone escapes". Nonetheless I really like your interpretation.
