Twenty One Pilots – Trees Lyrics	12 years ago
^^comment above- He's not saying God only lives in primates- the Bible says WE are meant to live our lives in reflection of God, and all the animals of the earth were made for us. So obviously God is not within monkeys and apes. This guy/gal is just referring to human beings as primates as sort of a "kick" toward evolutionary theorists.

Twenty One Pilots – Car Radio Lyrics	12 years ago
Who is to say the song can't take both a literal and a deeper meaning? He really did have his car radio stolen- that happened. But the whole event inspired him to think of the whole situation as a metaphor with a deeper meaning that involves each and every one of us.

Twenty One Pilots – Car Radio Lyrics

12 years ago

The song is about the thoughts that we all adopt from society that are lies, and that once you take away the noise of society, it's too much for most of us to handle, because we start to consider things like the presence of a God, or if we're living our lives right, so we would prefer to allow society to preoccupy us and pretend we're living a righteous life. He says faith is to think and to think is to be alive. So we may be devoted Christians seem to have who have life figured out, but if we are still letting the earth brainwash us with lies rather than thinking for ourselves, we're as good as dead anyway. His message to us? "And I will try with every rhyme/ To come across like I am dying/To let you know you need to try...to...THINK"

Twenty One Pilots – Holding on to You Lyrics

12 years ago

It's about a struggle against a mind filled with depression and sin, and the turning over of his life to Christ, because he realizes that a life with God is better than the hand he's been dealt. God is the one surrounding his surroundings, and twisting the kaleidoscope behind his eyes (aka making his brain and thought process change as he turns his life over). The verses after the first chorus are basically saying to anyone struggling with their sinful thoughts that they need to "remember the moment they know exactly where they're going" and remember the direction God is taking your life because the next moment you could be overwhelmed with the enemy's negativity. But he say fight, tie a leash to it, control it- take over the negative thoughts and tell them, "you belong to me. I'm in charge here." In the bridge, he implies that media and music these days is a big reason for everyone holding themselves to high standards and as a result plunging into depressing and suicidal thoughts (when we gonna stop with it?/Lyrics that mean nothing,/We were gifted [by God] with thought). He simply wants people to think for themselves rather than letting society feed you lies about life and morality, because those lies will only lead your life down a path of destruction. And finally, Tyler ends the song with "And I'll be holding onto you"- the conclusion to all this is that the solution is God, and he will be staying alongside God for the rest of his life.

Twenty One Pilots – Screen Lyrics

12 years ago

The song is to God. He's saying there's no point in trying to hide anything from God, because God is all-knowing, and knows his heart from the inside-out- hence there is a screen on his chest. In the chorus, he talks about trying to be cool and make himself look like he has everything together- efforts which he says in the previous verses are futile. In the second verse, he basically says that he's messed up, but so is everyone else, and it's okay that we're all messed up because God loves us regardless- the reason God sent Jesus to Earth was because he knows every single one of us is a sinner. This is also the essence of the bridge- he's saying we're broken people, almost in a celebratory manner, because again, the fact that we're all broken just means that we each need God's grace.
