Cover art for Fake You Out lyrics by Twenty One Pilots

Me personally, i think this song is about depression. At the beginning he says "in the night, headlights call my name" he's thinking about walking into traffic. Then he goes on to say "I'll never be, be what you see inside. You say I'm not alone, but i am petrified. You say that you are close, is close the closest star? You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far. And I'll fall, and I'll break and I'll fake. All i wanna" i think he is feeling a little worthless. Or feels like hes not living up to the persons standards. He thinks he isn't good enough. He don't want to disappoint the person by tell them about his depression and suicidal thoughts so he hides them inside and its slowly starting to break him, but he isn't gonna show it. Then he goes on talk to about bleeding lines on his wrist, which is cutting. He also talks about kids committing suicide because they feel like they have no control over themselves, their thoughts & their lives. He goes on to say "our brains are sick but thats okay" thats him saying its okay not to be okay. Earlier in the song he says "I'm so afraid of what you have to say, cause i am quite now & silence gives you space" i think he is talking to his depression. Or his mind i guess you could say. When you're depressed and you're with others is easier to ignore the thoughts. But when you're alone and you're quiet, they become loud and suffocating and theres no way to stop it. "I'm so afraid of what you have to say" he's afraid of his mind and what kind of thoughts hes gonna have whrn he's alone.
