"The Outside" Music Video by Twenty One Pilots Deeper Meaning 

Thank you so much for your help!

Welcome back; great recap! Have missed you! Love your ‘West Coast’ 🏄‍♂️ surfer look! Are you guys in Vegas and have you had your baby? Hope all is going well with your family 😎

remember lead also now doubles as a paper maker -- whatever that translates to in lore... and that lil do they know they can't touch him out in the street

yesss, i love this so much

I agree so much with this!! All I can see is spiritual when I listen to the music and Dema Story.

Keons never went rogue. Keons just decided to sacrifice himself by letting the other bishops kill him while he was controlling trash so that trash would die aswell That’s my opinion

love ur pfp ❤️

@@GarnachoEmpire712 I've actually taken that into consideration and I think that there is a scenario on which Keons goes rogue, and that relates heavily to A Car, A Torch, A Death. This song has been THE song that so many people believe connects to, if not directly inspires the DEMA storyline. The car is represented in the Heavydirtysoul video, the torch was represented by the Banditos but has recently been represented by the Torchbearer (Josh), and the death has recently been represented by Keons in The Outside music video. While many people believe the song A Car, A Torch, A Death to be from the perspective of Tyler, I believe that it could actually be from the perspective of Keons and relates to the events in Heavydirtysoul, The Outside, and the actions of the Torchbearer. In the Heavydirtysoul music video, we see a hooded figure that I believe most people agree is a bishop, but there isn't an agreement on which bishop it is. People have stated that this is Nico but I think this is Keons. For one, the origins of Keons' name comes from Heavydirtysoul (choKE ON Smoke). Secondly, if Nico was driving Tyler, why would he leave him with the Bandito jacket? Lastly, if we are viewing A Car, A Torch, A Death through the eyes of Keons, then the lines "As I start the car and then I begin to add the miles piled up behind me", and "And I begin to envy the headlights driving south, I want to crack the door so I can just fall out" makes sense as it would be Keons driving the car who feels envy of the cars driving away from his destination (which happens in the HDS video) because he is betraying the bishops as I'll explain later, before he drops Tyler off besides Josh and 'falls out of'/destroys the car. Regardless, Keons ends up driving the car to The Torchbearer and the Trench trilogy happens (Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and Levitate) where we don't see much of Keons. It is worth noting that Keons in A Car, A Torch, A Death describes a "demon" with a "makeshift torch" which would make sense for that to be Josh as the makeshift torch bit is obvious, but Keons is apprehensive towards Josh as he wears colors that are undetectable by the bishops, giving Josh an aura of danger about him. This is the part where we get into the Saturday and The Outside music videos, and this section of the bridge of A Car, A Torch, A Death explains everything, " And then I felt chills in my bones, the breath I saw was not my own, I knew my skin that wrapped my frame, wasn't made to play this game, and then I saw him torch in hand, he laid it out what he had planned, and then I said I'll take the grave, please just send them all my way". This describes Keons meeting with the Torchbearer laying out the plan for Keons to betray the bishops, a betrayal he would ultimately pay for with his life, before asking the Torchbearer to send the Banditos his way; send the Banditos to DEMA to finish the job.

@@athanasiospapadopoulos6582 I certainly don’t think keons is team banditos he may have fell out with the bishops (although I still believe it was just a sacrifice) but I certainly wouldnt imagine keons being an ally of the banditos as he as a bishop represents death, anxiety and guilt (heavy dirty soul themes) and I’m fairly sure the banditos aren’t fans of death and anxiety. Alternatively, the bishops may have chose to kill keons as he was the dema citizens “favourite” bishop (Clancy letters describe keons as the kindest) as keons represents death the dema citizens may consider him kind as they consider death as an option out of suffering (vialism) so keons isn’t good but he appears nice to manipulate people to commit to vialism hence the dema citizens like keons. However, the dema citizens may have started to turn against keons due to the banditos and Tyler and josh making trench an album that criticises vialism and glorified living life if this album made its way to some dema citizens they may have stopped listening to keons and realised keons was trying to trick them making keons method ineffective this could lead to the bishops deciding to kill bishop to send a message to dema as keons was no longer useful this may mean that dema will be more violent in there methods with less kind bishops taking keons place and instead of gently encouraging dema citizens to commit to vialism bullying and harassing them into it instead.

@@GarnachoEmpire712 I think I agree with you that keons doesn’t seem like he would join the banditos, but I think from a plot perspective, it would be really cool. With that being said, I think we can decide which perspective is most likely true by asked “why would keons betray the bishops.” If we can get a good reason why, then maybe he would betray them, but if there is not a good reason, then he probably didn’t. I was thinking, “in what way can the things he represents (death, anxiety, guilt) be used in Tyler’s favor? How could those concepts be hijacked for Tyler’s good?” One theory I had was that Keon’s rebellion is symbolic of realizing that rational anxiety and guilt can be beneficial, as it plays into your moral compass. Realizing you could die for something of greater value than yourself or any of the values the bishops support could be a big thing. If Keons represents death, and he dies for the banditos, I think that would make sense, because it could show how Tyler has hijacked the idea of death from suicide to sacrificing his life for a greater purpose. If there is not sufficient enough of a reason for keons to betray the bishops, though, then yeah, you are probably right. I personally feel like the speculation is the most fun part. Maybe this plot line is best left open-ended so that we can have our own ending that we are satisfied with and that works for us.

Tyler & Clancy are the same person. But yes, Tyler/Clancys bishop is Nico but he killed Keons

When did we learn that Clancy and Tyler are the same person? Up until recently it seemed to be most people thought they were different

@@smilefishyish I thought so too! I have seen so many people say that Clancy and Tyler are the same person, but can't find any evidence or explanation as to why they are the same person

So it makes sense to say that Ned realised that Tyler was now strong enough to gain control of Keons, thats why he gave him the horns and disappeared

But why

They would be so confused lol

You're not wrong! Tyler said he loves the lord of the rings ❤️ I'm not saying he took anything from the movies/books, but that's great

Is Josh Tyler's Sam?

Let me know what you think

Both are great but kitchen sink is the better song in my opinion

True, both are great

I like your idea, but I disagree with you that no chances is sung by the banditos. In the livestream/concert (I’ve been to both so I forget which one it is) no chances is sung by the bishops on screen. I think the next video will be the banditos confronting the bishops though!!

@@smilefishyish Thanks, I didn't know
