Man, I hate it when I want to buy something and suddenly the man at the counter is playing drums, so I'm forced to steal it instead and then the man chases after me with a bazooka and turns me into a figurine with his lazer eyes.
As a Columbus resident, I yelled in joy when I noticed that they filmed this in Big Fun. I love that shop and go there all the time! The dudes that own/run it are awesome!
Tyler said in an Apple Music interview “I come from a basketball background, and choking is: You’re standing at the free-throw line and you need to make one of those two, and if you miss them both, you choked. I think for me, with certain friendships and relationships, there were moments that I could have risen to the occasion and I didn't, and that's something that I'll have to live with. I think that everyone has those moments where they feel like they choked. The song is trying to work that through and trying to figure out if that’s someone that I was born to be. Can I shape this? Is this something I can turn around?”
I love how the dragon for the album is supposed to represent the deception of Dema. In the video, Tyler wants the Dragon (deception), this is the self sabotage that he's come to romanticize.
"Like a little splinter buried in your skin, someone else can carve it out but when you've got the pin, it hurts a little less and you can even push it further in. Like a silhouette that you can barely see, as a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually lay forever but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you, you'll get taller, bolder, stronger and the rearview only blinds you." I always get massive goosebumps at that part and it just gives me so much hope and strenght that life WILL be better for my friends and me. Thank you so much Tyler and Josh! Since 2016 i've been listening to your songs up and down, got most Albums on CD in my closet and i will always love you guys and be thankful for everything!
My husband and I are 61. Well...my husband died May 3. He fell while walking our much loved Charlie-Dog. He had a massive brain bleed and was brain dead within hours. We danced, sang, just need up and down together in the kitchen after dinner dishes were done. We played Twenty One Pilots at 9-10:00 pm while walking Charlie for his last night walkie... Tyler and Josh have been an integral part of our lives. Never did a day go by without us listening to these incredibly talented artists. My husband's memorial is scheduled for July 30, our wedding anniversary. I will wear my wedding gown, and the person handling sound is instructed to play at least 4 of Tyler and Josh's most beloved sings...Elvis's Only Fools Rush In, ukelele style; Redecorate; Addict with a pen, (I write a lot); Trees; Shy Away...there are so many... everything they have done, continue to do fills me up...I love them. My husband did too.
Wow, my condolences but I must say a comment like that deserves some elaboration. How long were you together? Your lives together sound like something that should be celebrated and appreciated, not just mourned.
It's horrible I am sorry to hear that. Lost my elder brother this year in an accident. He was the one who introduced 21 pilots to me. We used to listen to Migraine, Fairly Local, fake you out, together when we were kids (I didnt know the actual meaning back then) but we used to enjoy the flow and beats😅. Just imagining how happy he would get after listening to this song.🥲
Wow, I truly thank you for sharing that! I'm almost 52 & in my second month in the clique & they are what makes my life bearable! I'm going to see them here in LA in August, I will enjoy the show for all 3 of us!!!!!❤
Gah, don't you just hate it when your shopkeeper plays the drums in front of you when you're trying to buy something, and then he captures you in a net and sucks your soul out.
@Luke M That's like the third person in this comment section you've said that to, learn a new trick. Also if you have time to insult a video and everyone who watches it, this is proof you have no life.
Dude, everything, when we're taliking about 21 pilots, has a meaning.... For exemple, Jhosh simply doesn't look at Tyler while playing, that can mean so much things...
Imagine: Tyler is back in Dema for another cycle in the loop, and seemingly has been under their control for a long time. Josh is there to bring him back to Trench. "no body's coming for me"... except Josh and the banditos?
I have a feeling that in the whole "scaled and icy" era josh wasn't really josh? I don't know if it was something done by dema or simply some sort of "imaginery friend" to comfort tyler/clancy when he was trapped by dema. Like there are points (such as "Saturday" and "The Outside" where josh really was josh but at other times... he seems to be sorta helping out dema. Maybe its an act he put up so that they wouldn't rat him out, maybe dema/nico still doesnt know that josh is the torchbearer so he keeps up the act?
@@_hugsandkittensgacha_ this was a while before navigating! I feel kinda vindicated seeing something that I said be sorta true theory wise. In the sense of the story, levitating was the last time we saw real Josh. In my opinion,my blood was more like a reference to what was going to happen after trench rather then us directly seeing him, but to each their own it really depends on your interpretation
@@valeriacortez6770 Oop, my bad, I didn't mean to put my blood lol, we barely see Josh in it, my blood is definitely more like foreshadowing rather than a lore based vid. So sorry, I wrote that really early in the morning, I did in fact mean to put Levitating:)
Josh started working for a vintage toy store after Tyler kicked him out of the band. When Tyler comes in to buy something, he must show him the drumming skills he is missing before turning him into a bobblehead.
*TOP* IS MY INSPIRATION!! my mom said that if I got 20K subscribers!! She definitely buy me a professional mic!! *begging you GUYS* please!. Please guys literally!! Im excited for CHOKER!
The split-diopter takes of Josh, always crack me up for some reason. Actually this whole video was so confusing when it just came out i was just giggling and jamming. How can it be that another album is already comming? we blesseddddd
Imagine be randomly driving your car across the Mulberry Street and then seein Tyler Joseph in his orange beanie running away from Josh DUN with a formidable blaster laser shotgun in his hands
Leave the city: “they know that it’s almost, they know that it’s almost over.” Choker: “I know it’s over, I’m was born a choker. Nobody’s coming for me.” ahhh parallels!
I think this song is about not being able to ask for help when you need it, and "choking" on your words. You find self "worth" in how much you are "able to withstand" without showing weakness. But if you "don't bother anyone" with your problems, then "nobody's coming for you" when you need help because they don't know you're struggling. Relying on yourself alone to fix your problems can be comforting because it "hurts a little less" than showing vulnerability, and you have control. You can take a splinter out, or even "push it further in" if you want (This could be a metaphor for how tempting negative self-talk can be. Like if you're alone thinking about your problems you can enter a comfortingly self-destructive and negative thought spiral. Your "self-sabotage" can feel "sweet", like a "romance".) I think the last part is a metaphor for how, like your shadow growing larger as the sun moves behind you, you gain strength and wisdom over time as a result of facing and overcoming your struggles.
Based on the proportions of the dog and Tyler irl and in toy form and then the size of the dragon toy, my theory is that the dragon is an adorable 1-2 ft long
Tyler: *looking at josh* Josh: *pretty normal* Tyler: *looks at the dragon for seconds then looks back at Josh* Josh: I WANTED TO DRUM RIGHT NOW OK? Edit: Today is my birthday. Thank you twenty one pilots for all this years of amazing and unique music. We all love you. Stay alive l-/ forever.
I like how he drags him all that way and *then* converts him into the much more manageable bobble head when he gets back to his shop... classic strong man Josh
Theory: this is all a simulation. This is what Tyler sees in his head while trying to imagine a better life outside dema. This ain’t josh, it’s a bishop. The way he drags him is near identical to the bishops dragging Tyler in the Trench MVs
