This is definitely a shout out to all listeners who ever thought of/or attempted suicide, or you might even say homicide.
This band is very adamant about singing towards a crowd while trying to instill a certain sense of meaning through their lyrics.
'I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep
But I can't, but I can't when you all have
Guns for hands yeah'
In the chorus above, he's expressing his inability to sleep while he's thinking about all the kids out there that he can save through his music. He's asking people to listen to his music, to find something else to believe in and be interested in. A lot of his other songs promote unity through art, like Forest:
("Down in the forest we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote.")
or Kitchen Sink:
(Are you searching for purpose?
Then write something, yeah it might be worthless,
Then paint something then, it might be wordless,
Pointless curses, nonsense verses,
You'll see purpose start to surface)
I do think its a bit egocentric to play to your lyrics like Tyler does. But i think its good enough that he can do it successfully.
I have been clinically depressed, diagnosed since highschool. I like to think i overcame it. I honestly feel very little difference now (almost 12 years later) than I did before, but i've really evolved into someone who understands the world I'm in and I've accepted it. I have a completely different paradigm of decisions I make, and relationships I work with. (It's difficult to maintain relationships when you're apathetic state desires complete solitude)
Not a lot of people can do that. Twenty One Pilots shows a pretty good understanding of that mentality, which is why I think i can connect with them.
