| Twenty One Pilots – A Car, a Torch, a Death Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This is clearly religious in a sense, I also think it was one of the very few romantically related songs by Twenty One Pilots. I think it's about a girlfriend/wife cheating on her boyfriend/husband and the pain it caused for the boyfriend/husband. (I'll try to keep my religious views out of this) Biblical text references that God died because he loved the world. In this situation, the boyfriend/husband understands that because he loves his girlfriend/wife and that's why he wishes for death. Personal interpretation, just my opinion. That is all. |

| Twenty One Pilots – The Pantaloon Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
From my understanding, "pantaloon" is an Italian term referring to a crazy old guy. This is basically about how his grandfather and immediate father went insane from old age and how he's destined to follow in their footsteps. "Now it's your turn to be alone, find a wife and build yourself a home." This is referring to how even if you have a wife and home it won't stop you from going insane and feeling alone because you live in your own little world. It seems as if he made every effort to avoid becoming a "pantaloon" by isolating himself to begin with. The part that talks about his friends fertilizing the ground and how a chair is a tiny island, is a reference to everyone around him starting families while he slowly becomes the "pantaloon." This is just my interpretation, don't take anything I said for doctrine. |

| Twenty One Pilots – House of Gold Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I feel like this song is pretty straightforward. It's the story of a mother confiding in her son to stay with her and take care of her when no one else can. If you watch the music video for this song, you'll see that Tyler and Josh are only halves crawling to their "mother." I read somewhere that it's more specifically about the son pursuing his career and then remembering the promise he made to his mom. He's torn between family and his own life. |

I agree with the early comments about this being about depression and attempts to reconcile with God. Proof that this isn't too outlandish to say is Tyler Joseph's (lead singer) unofficial album titled "No Phun Intended." There are five tracks on the album and almost all of them make direct references to God with words like "Lord" and "Jesus." I highly recommend listening to his album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNAicooDSIU |
