Tyler Joseph – Taken by Sleep Lyrics 8 years ago
okay, it would be creepy if this was the actual meaning, but this song reminds me of my relationship with a, uh, friend. we were really close and we helped each other. we were the other's safe space. he was really not okay, and then he got a girlfriend and kinda forgot about me. it was as if we never happened. and I was still feeling the same, as if I /had to/ be there for him and support him, I guess that just gave me a purpose and I couldn't stand having that taken away from me. He recently tried to kill himself and I introduced myself onto his life just to see that things got worse. I can't think of anything else and he just doesn't care. He's gone, but still suffers and it kills me to know that I can't help him.
So yeah, to me this song is about being scared that someone you love is not okay but being unable to do anything. Every lyric portrays exactly how I feel.

Twenty One Pilots – Johnny Boy Lyrics 9 years ago
I think that this song is about a man who's always there to cheer up everyone when they are sad and hides his own misery from them and himself. He lies to himself saying tat everything would be okay. He had to be okay, so he convinces himself of it. Everyone takes him for granted and he is scared to ask for help because they think of him as an infinite person and doesn't want people to get worried. Eventually he gets tired of life and feels that nobody cares and nobody would unless he was gone forever. His reason to live was to help others, but he stops caring one day. So he locks himself to end himself and someone is trying to make him change his mind because they do notice him.
To me, this is about making someone feel appreciated and loved because they deserve it the most.
