Stay alive friends ||-//
I feel like this album is a story, for example, the first three songs are introducing the character and saying how he isn’t okay, then in addict with a pen, it’s the character writing a suicide note to his friend, then in friend, please, the friend comes over and convinces the character to not kill themselves, but then in Johnny boy, the friend kills themselves, saying “no one really knows his mind” and then in oh ms. believer, I think the character comforts the friend’s family. Then in air catcher it’s the character mad that his friend is gone, then it progresses on where the character gets worse and worse, until the end of before you start your day, where he kills himself. Then in isle of flightless birds it has reached “the climax of the story” and continues into vessel. Where the process happens again with a different person. Just a theory
I saw this somewhere else but there's didn't include all the songs. I love your theory and I could actually see that but even if that is not what Tyler intended to do the songs can still mean this to you
@@tylerdunn3167 yeah it is really cool to think about how deep their music is that people keep finding hidden things in their music that makes it even more meaningful
I always have seen Vessel almost as if it was just one LOOONNNGG night. Because it starts with him saying he will stay awake and then at the end he says " now the night is coming to an end." But yeah... but man this theory is creepily good and sad to think of.

Either way he can't deny he is a pantaloon You are tired, you are hurt A moth ate through your favorite shirt And all your friends fertilize The ground you walk Lose your mind You like to sleep alone It's colder than you know 'Cause your skin is so Used to colder bones It's warmer in the morning Than what it is at night Your bones are held together by your nightmare and your frights You are tired, you are hurt A moth ate through your favorite shirt And all your friends, they fertilize The ground you walk So lose your mind You are tired, you are hurt A moth ate through your favorite shirt And all your friends, they fertilize The ground you walk Lose your mind 4. 11:27 Addict With A Pen Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind And I Haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you, I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water Water I try desperately to run through the sand As I hold the water in the palm of my hand 'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and The waves of the water mean nothing to me But I try my best and all that I can To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand But no matter how, how tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down and the water will drain I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today End of my ways as a walking denial My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water Water Hello I haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind And I I haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water 5. 16:13 Friend, Please I feel for you but when did you believe you were alone? You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home Where alliance once was Petrified of who you are and who you have become You will hide from everyone, denying you need someone To exterminate your bones Friend, please remove your hands from Over your eyes for me I know you want to leave but Friend, please don't take your life away from me Living like a ghost you walk by everyone you know You say that you're fine but you have lost your sway and glow So I stopped by to let you know Friend, please remove your hands from Over your eyes for me I know you want to leave but Friend, please don't take your life away from me Would you let me know your plans tonight 'Cause I just won't let go 'til we both see the light And I have nothing else left to say But I will listen to you all day, yes I will Friend, please remove your hands from Over your eyes for me I know you want to leave but Friend, please don't take your life away from me 6. 20:26 March To The Sea There's miles of land in front of us, And we're dying with every step we take, We're dying with every breath we make, And all fall in line A stranger's back is all I see, He's only a few feet in front of me, And all look left and right sometimes, But all fall in line No one looks up anymore, 'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye, And heaven forbid, they see you cry, As we fall in line And about this time of every year, The Line will go to the ocean pier, And walk right off into the sea, Then we fall asleep As we near the end of land, And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand, I ask myself the question, why I fall in line Then out of the corner of my eye, I see a spaceship in the sky, And hear a voice inside my head Follow me instead Follow me instead Follow me Then the wages of war will start Inside my head with my counterpart And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase This line's the only way Then I start down the sand My eyes are focused on the end of land But again the voice inside my head Says, follow me instead Follow me instead Follow me Follow me instead Follow me instead Follow me instead Follow me instead Follow me instead Take me up Seal the door I don't want to march here anymore I realize that this line is dead So I'll follow you instead So then you put me back in my place So I might start another day And once again, I will be In a march to the sea 7. 25:58 Johnny Boy He stays home from work this time He never really told his wife He never really told a lie But this time he decides that it's alright It's alright No one really knows his mind And no one knows behind his eyes The man deserves a medal But he's never really won a prize, before He goes to lock the door He has fallen in love He knows it's enough And the world looks down and frowns Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up Johnny boy 'cause we all need you, now We all need you, now Someone said, where you going? Someone said to you, goodbye They deflect the disrespect When they say that they blame it on the times They blame it on the times We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife They all know you're qualified But they lie when they blame it on the times And we blame it on the times He has fallen in love He knows it's enough And the world looks down and frowns Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up Johnny boy 'cause we all need you, now We all need you, now I will carry all your names And I will carry all your shame And I will carry all your names And I will carry all your shame And I will carry all your names And I will carry all your shame Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up Johnny boy because we all need you, now Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy Get up 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up Johnny boy because we all need you, now

Feel you. But I so love the picture, i'm addicted to it that I made it my phone screen and cover photo on fb. I don't know why but just watching the photo calms me. It make me think of a gloomy weather, about to rain and I'm alone.
@@franselo I thought it was a representation of daydreaming, now it also feels like that weird hollow feeling of nostalgia you get from bedrooms with slow moving broken fans
actually i can argue with almost everything that's been said here though it's one of my favorite albums, being critical and objetive Vessel is way better than this album. But opinions are different
RU-vid autoplayed this for me and hearing the first bit felt like reconnecting with an old friend that was everything to you when you were at your worst. Which is essentially what this album is to me. Oh gosh, this is gonna make me cry. It really does get better y'all. I can't guarantee that it'll be everything you hope for but it'll most certainly be better than it is now, trust me. This feeling isn't forever no matter much you can't imagine an end to it. The more you experience the more you realize how much more there can be outside of that feeling.
During lockdown, I lived the worst time of my life. Looking back, I can't really understand why I went so low for a stupid reason, and this period of time felt so numb, I hated myself so much, I was so angry. I hurted myself for insignificant errors made through the day, and I felt like losing track of time. The only thing that could bring me peace, deliverance, was Twenty One Pilots. I can't tell how many times I sang, I cried, I danced thanks to Tyler and Josh. But with the arrival of summer, I slowely started to revive. I met someone, and moved one the better I could. I never forgot TØP, but I just couldn't listen to them without feeling bad. And here I am, almost a year after all this. I still am fragile. But I'm alive, I've not cut myself for at least 9 months, I'm full of a new strength and full of love. So whoever you are : I know that life is hard right now. I know you feel numb, or angry, or terribly sad. But please, stay. We never know what the universe has for us. Stay, it is really worth it. I love you so much, and you're doing a great job being alive. Your summer will come one day 🖤❤ |-/ (I'm sorry for the possible mistakes in this comment, I'm french and still studying english in high school. And I'm so sorry for writing something so long, but I think I needed to share it in order to heal. Stay strong friends!)
There's something a little haunting about seeing the album art a little further away than I'm used to. On another note, I will always remember the roller coaster of emotions this song set me on the first time I heard it 😊 in a good way ❤
I started listening to TOP's music a few month ago. I've had Trench and Blurryface pretty much on repeat ever since. First time listening to Self-titled and I think I have a new favourite album...
I first heard of tøp from my daughter. She was singing Kitchen Sink. From there, I started listening to them. The albums are practically all I listen to when my kids are not around. Haha
I love the violin in Implicit Demand For Proof at 0:55 and how it almost seems to overpower the piano, and after 1:17 it starts to feel more violent to me. Trapdoor reminds me of when you read in history books about how hangings were public 'Everyone gather around for a show/ Watch as this man disappears as we know/ Do me a favor and try to ignore/ As you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor' almost as if hangings were a show. People would watch, sometimes cheer, or ignore what was happening right in front of them. Anyway enough of that, stay street, and stay alive frens /-/
ok i have been a fan of TOP for a long time now and i barely gave myself the chance to hear this album for no reason that i know of, but now that i am actually listening to it i love it its so good
Can't help but feel sad looking at the cover. Beautiful mind pouring out. Ask for help if you're in a tough place. There is nothing weak about asking for it
Agreed, 100%. You *might* get help if you suffer in silence, but you *will* get help if you let the people around you know you need it. People tend to be preoccupied with their own issues, so don't just expect or hope others to notice what you're going through - and it isn't necessarily because they don't care, things that seem obvious in your own mind may be hard for another to spot. Don't be afraid when someone asks "How are you today?" or "How's it going" or "How are things?", "How have you been?", "How is your day?", "Are you having a good day?" or even just "What's up?" to actually answer that honestly, like "I'm not doing well, things are really hard for me at the moment" or something like that. Even if it's someone serving you at the store, tell them about your shitty day/week/month/year/life and cry if you need to. Letting it out is better than keeping it in. Sometimes just letting a bit of out, even to a stranger, helps to just slightly lighten the load you are carrying. Sending my love to all who are having a hard time for whatever reason (or no reason at all) ❤️ I hope things improve for you.
Friend: Dude my granddad died last week, his funeral is gonna be this weekend Me: im so sorry Friend: its fine, its not your fault Me: no im sorry for what im about to do Also Me: 8:01
This is Awesome! I love the art you share with us to listen ,feel, and embrace on an almost , if not complete spiritual level/dimension. Thank you 21 Pilots
My girlfriend just broke up with me, I'm just so confused and lost... Don't know what to do with this shit feeling.. 3,5 years to nowhere, just like that. I don't really know if I miss her or hate her, for throw away this relationship without trying to figure it out. So many hard moments, and the good ones too, to what? I can't accept that. But in the meantime I see the problems that carry us here. I hope I can figure it out by myself how to move forward.
lets just say they may be trying to avoid copyright claims? idk though. I know that some person did kitchen sink and made it 'sports' or something so that's my reasoning.
It's about his relationship with God. Tyler's Christian and Christians believe in God the Father, The Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. Jesus or God there the same person from a Christian biblical standpoint. God is Tyler's heavenly Father along with all other Christians or whoever believes in Jesus and repents from there sins and asks Jesus into there lives and accepts his gift of everlasting life (heaven) Tyler talks to God in Implicit Demand for proof because he has struggled in his religion and is somehow doubting God's existence but he feels like he's real but at the same time he feels like God's ignoring him and his pain. So Tyler's saying strike me down with your lightning, do whatever just show me a sign that your real and you care about me and is listening to me. Even if that means striking him down with his lightning or calling him down from heaven. Tyler also has depression and sounds like he wants to die when he says 'And destroy me rain down' it's about his relationship with God, depression and demanding a sign (Implicit Demand for proof!) (That God is real and is listening to him and cares). That's what this song is about
I haven't listened to this album in a while. it's been around two years I believe. I was in a really bad place when I would listen nonstop. I'm getting back to that point and I don't know what to do anymore because i don't feel like I have a good reason for getting bad again. I have a lovely gf, I have alright grades, I have a therapist and meds, so why am i getting bad again
its natural in a healing process feeling bad again, remember that this bad feeling will disappear soon and that you're stronger than before bc you already survived it the first time, stay alive my friend (srry for my bad english)
some bad stuff has been going on in my online relationship, she accused me of cheating about a few days ago ive been listening to this now to help. moral of the story: dont get an online girlfriend, if u do make sure u trust them
.... so um.. you can hear "dema" why Tyler was singing "follow me instead" in March to the sea so ummm..... HE HSA BEEN PLANING THIS FOR YEARS... thanks for coming to my ned talk.. also I found out what ned stands for. No Escape Dema...
Tyler has talked about Dema for years. It was only brought up the most in their last album, Trench. Tyler has explained dema to be many things and mostly as a feeling. yes, it does say dema in march to the sea. it wasn't a "plan" to do this. and also, Ned stands for Neuro Expansion Device. But i guess you cant say that too.
Also if you look at the buildings at the bottom of the album cover art, they look kind of similar to the buildings in dema. But that could just be Tyler reusing old designs so idk

@@ruby4827 those are just the bishops' towers. Maybe it's the buildings around them? There's also a tree with a treehouse for Trees or Forest and a faucet, possibly for kitchen sink, and there's probably other stuff I haven't noticed.
