"A shadow tilts its head at me Spirits in the dark are waiting I won't let them win, go quietly I won't let them win, go quietly" I think the shadow is 'blurryface' or the character he has created to represent his insecurities. i think the spirits in the dark are with 'blurryface', and are all of his doubs, fear, insecurities, and thoughts trying to pull him in, and he is saying he wont let them win, that he will beat them. " Be the one, be the one To take my soul and make it undone Be the one, be the one To take me home and show me the sun I know, I know You can bring the fire, I can bring the bones I know, I know You make the fire in my bones, and make it grow" im not sure exactly what this part is about, but I think it might be referencing his faith, and this is tyler talking to god and asking him to heal him or fix him and make the voices stop and make him into someone different. and perhaps 'home' is heaven or just back to his old state of mind before he had these thoughts. im not really sure whom the person is he is talking to but he is basically saying that they will help him, and make him better. "Where we're from There's no sun Our hometown's in the dark Where we're from We're no one Our hometown's in the dark Our hometown's in the dark" maybe this is saying that ohio is kind of unknown and theyre in the dark, and they weren't that known. but i also think the reference to the dark is lik representing his depression and the voices, and he is saying that like there was no help or 'sun'. im not really sure about this part. "" A shadow tilts its head at me Spirits in the dark are waiting I won't let them win, go quietly I won't let them win, go quietly" i think this is him showing that he is trying to fight the darkness mentioned above? or is just repition bc that's how songs work " Put away, put away All the gods your father served today Put away, put away Your traditions, believe me when I say We don't know, we don't know How to put back the power in our soul We don't know, we don't know Where to find what once was in our bones" i think this is him saying to put away your faith or what your family or others say you should do, and just focus on pushing away the darkness. i don't know, this is one of their harder songs to interpret, i feel like they did that on purpose so people could use it to help them through whatever they need it for. i think it could relate to religion, or depression, or just going back to family. im not sure, this is all just things i made up. |

i think this song is talking about Tyler and josh's struggles against fighting everyone opinions and ideas that they have for the band. I guess because twenty one pilots is so diverse, and they cover all sorts of topics, and musical structures that nearly almost album they create is different in its own special way, record labels and others in the industry question whether twenty on pilots will succeed. and to me this is their song fighting back, saying yes we will succeed, but will you?(will they be alive tomorrow). I think the highway && the lane reference is just Tyler trying to express how everyone seems to make music lately, how everything has to be a certain way, all very basic, uniform, and you all go the direction you're supposed to never straying from your 'lane', or what you know will make you music and be 'popular'. I think "But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness If it wasn't for this music I don’t know how I would have fought this" was put in the song to show Tyler's want to express his past pain and struggles and how we wants his music to be therapeutic ad cathartic to his fans, and we will express his music the way he wants. "Regardless, all these songs I'm hearing are so heartless Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that’s flawless" I think he puts this in the song to say hat despite his want to help people through his music and wanting to do his music in his own way, I think here he is saying that all of the stuff other say is 'popular' and 'safe' are meaningless anyways, and the songs he puts out might not be perfect to people but its honest, and true. "honest, There's a few songs on this record that feel common I'm in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin'" I think here Tyler is saying that he is aware that some of these songs on blurryface are more common sounding, and I think he is kind of saying that while being constantly nagged about playing it safe, and living in constant fear of whether or not he will be successful and whether or not people will like his stuff//be impacted(he talks about this sometimes in interviews) "In the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency My creativity's only free when I'm playing shows" here he is obviously saying that he looks at most artists and finds that music has all become about writing things to get the most money, and finding what will get the most likes and everything of that nature. and he feels that's he can only be creative while playing live to his fans because they're all there for the same reason, because they love music and what it does for them. ultimately I think Tyler wrote this song to explain his view on the music industry and how it is kind of fake, and artificial, and he just wants to be able to play his music, the way he likes. |

before I start my entire explanation, I just want to point out the immense beauty this song holds and how incredibly talented twenty one pilots (aka tyler and josh) are anyways, it wasn't until recently when I really started reading deeply into these lyrics, but I found that right now in my current situation I can relate to this all too well. so here's my interpretation and what I get from it. "scared of my own image"=he/I am afraid of myself, or what I see in the mirror or what I think or do. I'm scared of who I've become or who I've left behind as I've grown older, and , I'm genuinely scared of myself. "scared of my own immaturity, scared of my own ceiling"=I'm frightened by the thought of being so scared of things all the time, and being afraid of common things is often associated with being immature (ex. oh he's afraid of his own shadow), and Tyler elaborates on that by saying he's scared of his own ceiling. meaning its an ordinary everyday thing in his life, yet he has found something in it that gives him fear. and that to me means that nearly everything scares him/me. (also being afraid of his own immaturity could mean he's afraid of showing his true self, or he's just afraid of his characteristics that others may see as flaws) "scared ill die of uncertainty"=with all of the fear, we become uncertain of what it is that we are truly afraid of. also I am an incredibly indecisive person, and I can not make decisions on my own, so uncertainty is extremely life altering for me. some of this uncertainty could be stemming from doubt that he/I have within ourselves. or when one becomes so terrified of everything and we begin to question our mental state, everything becomes unclear, or "uncertain", and that begins to frighten us too. "fear might be the death of me"=being so afraid of everyone and everything I began to develop extreme anxiety. and in some cases, like my own, it can cause someone to be house ridden, hospitalized, put on medications, etc. so with all of these restrictions that are caused from this fear, you are practically killing yourself//your happiness, as the fear becomes more intense"(like the saying worried myself to death) "fear leads to anxiety, don't know what's inside of me"=this part like I mentioned above with the anxiety, how all of these fears and self doubt, anxiety occurs, and depending on the severity you often become very frightened with yourself and your thoughts(creating a cycle, as if I could begin the verse again because I'm afraid of myself and afraid of everything the anxiety is doing to me and my thoughts etc.) the lyrics " don't know what's inside of me" portray this sense of hopelessness and confusion one feels after dealing with all of the said feelings above. these especially stick out to me because when asked to describe how I feel or what I think(usually during an anxiety attack) I don't know what's going on. what I'm thinking or saying or doing, or what it is that is causing the fear. and after a while of experiencing anxiety, you begin to question what's wrong with you and what it is inside of you that could be making you feel this horrible. "don't forget about me(2x)"=for me, I am currently going through a breakup, and my boyfriend was the only one I felt safe to go to with these problems mentioned above, and the only one I felt understood them because he dealt with similar problems of his own. so to me, this part is me saying don't forget about me. but from a non relationship standpoint I think this could be interpreted as Tyler talking to his old self or his thoughts he thinks to be 'sane', or someone in his life that might have helped him through his problems. "even when I doubt you, I'm no good without you"=for me, I often pushed away my boyfriend(subconsciously thinking this was best for him) in fear of myself and my thoughts, so to me that was my doubt, but in the end over all the fear and doubt ultimately the relationship was the thing that kept me sane and happy. as for the non relationship view, this could be one thinking of his/her self when they aren't experiencing these fears and realizing that they often doubt themselves, but they are who they are and they can change that. or it could be them speaking to someone that helps them, and although the doubt their advice, or support, or push them away, they need them, because they help. "temperature is dropping(2x)"=to me this could be interpreted in many different ways, for me it is my motivation disappearing(motivation to get better). but it could also be seen in a lot of different ways. "I'm not sure if I can see this ever stopping, shaking hands with the dark parts of my thoughts"=to me this deals with not only my anxiety but also my other disorders: depression, and OCD.(so any other disorder the listener might be experiencing) and how nothing seems to get better, and I am so used to feeling this way that I have become numb and I don't care to fix it or to get better, and I almost begin to welcome these thoughts because they're expected. "you are all that I've got"= this part again for me reminds me of my boyfriend, and how I need them to stay because, they help keep the thoughts away. but most would see this as the other person to help them, or even their old self still hiding behind all of the problems. "gnawing on the bishops, claw away at the system"=I interpret this as nervous habits I have acquired of the years of dealing with my anxiety. but this could also be someone questioning authority, trying to escape his anxiety or other disorder, or questioning their religion(I think Tyler was writing about his religion) "repeating simple phrases, someone holy insisted"= for me his is me saying things like "take deep breathes" "think of other things" "it'll all get better someday", that others tell me in attempt to help me, even though they're meaningless. going back to the religion theory, he could be writing about how he says the thing he is supposed to say, because his religion tells him to. "want the marks he made on my skin to mean something to me again"=personally I associate these lyrics with self harm, and wanting to see the scars as inspiration to keep going or to stay clean. however, if this section is referring to religion, he could be just meaning he wants to find meaning and purpose in himself again. Tyler has a tattoo, and he has mentioned before it has something to do with his religion, and the tattoo are three lines that wrap around his arm, so maybe he is saying he is losing and questioning his religion and he wants to find it or believe it again. "hope you haven't left without me(2x)"=ties back to the person mentioned throughout the song, whether it be someone who helps you, or your old self and old thoughts, or religion. as if throughout the entire song, he was trying to make sense of it all, and he is realizing, no matter the fear and doubt he truly does need them and he hopes he hasn't lost them. |
