Heavydirtysoul

Song's are Tyler's way to deal with his problems, and throughout the album, Blurryface, he tells us he might not be alive if he didn't do so.

Heavydirtysoul is a melancholy song; very thoughtful and metaphoric. It reveals how he thinks how he "didn't lose his mind but he has a crazy mind to clean" (he isn't hopeless in this particular track and think he can be fixed) Ironically, songs on the album like "Goner" is the exact opposite, showing how the album is really the brain of Tyler's and how it thinks, but that's a whole another topic.

A bigger purpose of the song is how people look up to him, similar to the infamous "gangsters" that led their people. The entire song compares himself to a gangster, or looked up figure in some people's lives (weather it has a good or bad correlation). Think about your role model, do they cry? Most likely, you think of them as a strong person, but the song's about how people look up to him (Tyler), but he's not a hero, he's a person who has feelings and expresses them. "Gangster's don't cry, therefore I'm Mr. Mistyeye", a play on the term "I just have an itch in my eye, I'm not crying" (or something in that regard).

Like curiazadeh said above, "I hate to be the one to point out the most obvious lyric in the song, but "Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit," means "Death scares me so much that it startles me into action." " Death is an adrenaline rush for him, and seems good in the moment that it is presented but when he's thinking, it's a scary thought.

Because of all his crazy thoughts and emotions, he asks "can you save my heavydirty soul?" Or, purify my thoughts, in simpler terms.

In a nutshell, Heavydirtysoul addresses how although he seems strong, he's emotional and has depressing thoughts in his mind that he wishes weren't there and want's to be saved.

I hate to be the one to point out the most obvious lyric in the song, but "Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit," means "Death scares me so much that it startles me into action."

I CAN FINALLY RAP IT!!!

I want to add that this lyric "Just another attempt to make the voices stop" might be referencing the end of glowing eyes as it also say's "make them stop" refering to the voices inside his head. as both songs are about trying to stop the voices in his head. it kind of seems simple to me making the connections.

I think this song has a similar meaning to "Tear In My Heart" based on the music video. In the video Tyler is in the back of a black car that falls apart as it drives. I think the person driving it, in a black hoodie, represents Blurryface and the car represents his life. Sometimes Blurryface gets control and makes Tyler miss out on life. He sees people in trouble, like Josh with drums on fire in the middle of the road, and can't help them because Blurryface won't let him. But like Tear In My Heart, where Tyler's wife beats Blurryface out of him, here Josh bangs on his drums and knocks Blurryface out. With every smack of the drumsticks another piece of the car breaks and soon Tyler is back in control, with Josh's help.

I think "Heavydirtysoul" shows how Tyler relies on his close friends and family to help him get rid of Blurryface both temporarily and maybe later for good.

He is talking about Jesus and how he saved our heavy dirty souls

I think the video also calls for an interpretation. It is using a dream-like symbolism like the singer is having a nightmare. He is sitting on the backseat of a car like he is not in control of his own life. The car falls apart and catches fire. The fire is spreading to the drum set. He is desperate and calls for his tormented soul to be saved. On the driver seat is a mystical black shadow who suddenly disappears. This might be a ghost or a demon. After the demon has disappeard, the singer stands up and escapes the burning car. His nightmare is over.

I think it is about when you are so far gone that you can't save yourself, and you need someone else to help get up off the floor
