Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Is just a currency and nothing more
Keep the truth in quotations (in quotations)
‘Cause they keep lying through their fake teeth
You and I, we’ll never take it
Oh-oh-oh, they’re asking for a second try
You and I, we’ll never take it
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
When you’re the treatment facility?
How can we seek restitution (restitution)
When they keep lying through their fake teeth?
You and I, we’ll never take it
Oh-oh-oh, they’re asking for a second try
You and I, we’ll never take it
Oh-oh-oh, they’re asking for a second try
You and I will never take it from ’em (ooh, ooh)
Taught myself to play guitar, tearing it up
And my advice on those two things that I picked up
You better educate yourself but never too much
Taught myself to play guitar, tearing it up (tearing it up)
And my advice on those two things that I picked up (I picked up)
You better educate yourself but never too much
They profit from a great divide
You and I, we’ll never take it
Oh-oh-oh, they’re trying hard to weaponize
You and I, we’ll never take it
Oh-oh-oh, they’re asking for a second try
You and I, we’ll never take it
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Which Twenty One Pilots lyrics hit the hardest for you?
- You reached in the back and buckled up your heart
- For me to drive away with
- I begin to understand why God died
- I think it’s a beautiful description of love.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
‘I could pull the steering wheel’
How softly he says it hits home hard for me
Not TOP, but still by Tyler Joseph.
“And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say, but I need to know if you’ve thought of me at all today.”
I am a really clingy individual. I depend a lot on people I care about; especially my girlfriend. She is the only person that I actually enjoy hanging out with and sharing my feelings to. If she were to stop caring about me, I would be devastated and I probably wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I hate being this way, but I cannot help it.

This is too relatable. When my girlfriend broke up with me and told me I needed to find someone that actually cared enough to be with me it hurt so much I couldn’t take it
I am so sorry for what happened to you. It is such a scary thought to think of the person you care for the most leaving you, and it is so much worse when it actually happens. I hope you find someone soon.
My best friend died of cancer and before they died they told me to keep speaking to them. She said her spirit would know. This song (and specifically this lyric) makes me think of her and hits my directly in the heart

This is one of mine. Hearing this lyric made me realize that Tyler really does get it, and it felt good to know I wasn’t alone.
You think twice about your life, It probably happens at night, Right? Fight it, Take the pain, ignite it, Tie a noose around your mind Loose enough to breathe fine and tie it To a tree. Tell it, “You belong to me. This ain’t a noose, this is a leash. And I have news for you: you must obey me.”
This helps remind me that all that seems bad in life can’t control me and my happiness and even though my life might be at an all time low, there will always be a reason (that will ignite me) to keep pushing forward.
this one is mine, too! I am in control of my mind and I decide what happens, no matter how bad it gets, and often i repeat these lyrics to myself as a mantra to remind myself again.
“Sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind.”
It helps me get through days when I start overthinking things.
Came here to say this. That whole song hit me hard especially since Vessel was the first album I heard from them, but that line definitely stuck first.
“I wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
I wanna be stronger, too long I’ve sat here undecidedly
Planning strategy, half of me knows it’s all just a fallacy
Failing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
Into a wall I’ve hit a hundred times before
And yet I still ignore the dark red blood stains on the floor
And I’m back in front of you, Lord, with blood on the floor
Is the blood mine or yours? Don’t wanna do this anymore”
YES. All the yes! This song is my favorite lyrically and hits me in the feels every dang time
I love the raps in this, but for me it’s:
Can you, wash me
Can you, drown me
Please
The first time I listened to vessel, I was at work and listened to it straight through. When I got through the first half of Migraine, I actually had to stop the music, and get up from my desk because something about what is just heard had hit me so hard. I think it was specifically the “sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head” line, but really, it was just that on top of the whole first verse.
I can’t even describe the feelings I felt when I heard Migraine for the first time. It also hit me hard
Won’t you go to someone else’s dreams?
Won’t you go to someone else’s head?
Haven’t you taken enough from me?
Won’t you torture someone else’s sleep?
Anathema hit me so hard that I made an entire collection of art about what it made me feel. That collection of work later got me into art school.
So many of their lyrics hit me but when i first heard Forest, the lyric: ‘I took some food for thought It might be poisoned’ hit me so hard. I was in such a dark place that i could relate to it always and that song still means so much to me. So those lyrics, most likely 🖤
Second verse from Kitchen Sink. “Nobody thinks what you think, no one Empathy might be on the brink of extinction They will play a game and say They know what you’re going through And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say They don’t know you, and neither do I”
Really makes me realize no one knows what anyone else is going through not even other people who deal with things like depression and anxiety.
At first I thought there’s no way I could answer this question, but I think you answered it for me.
To add to your thought: it’s so hard for people to truly empathize (almost seems quite impossible), even the most empathetic of people, because of each person’s individualized problems and experience in this life. We try to save people from repeating our pasts without remembering how we felt in those moments. We try to help by offering our solutions as the only way. We try to explain to people our hurt feelings and they compare them to their own, and vice versa. Even the people that will sit and listen without offering their two cents are thinking to themselves what they wish to say. I honestly think empathy is extinct, or at least never existed within the realm of human understanding. Almost in the same way that true unconditional love does not exist with humans. That’s what I believe anyway.
“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”
-Addict With A Pen
As a freshman in college, i was introduced to the boys and this song really help me realized that just being it felt like the end, I really needed to push hard to maintain control of my life and realize that there was a God and that he was way bigger than I could comprehend.
The lyrics of the bridge hit me especially hard every time:
If you find yourself in a lion’s den,
I’ll jump right in, and pull my pin
It reminds me of the type of self-sacrificial love that is so important to me and my faith, as well as something I should strive to show others
“Now the night is coming to an end
The sun will rise and we will try again
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die
I will fear the night again
I hope I’m not my only friend
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die”
I’ve started to listen to TØP after my dad died, and the entire ‘House of Gold’ song hits me (way too) hard… I listen to it rarely these days because it’s too overwhelming.
Each TØP song is very very well written. I’m a musician, and I usually notice the music / production / chord progression when listening to a new song, but in TØP’s case, the lyrics hook me just as much as the music.
“The air begins to feel a little thin as i start the car and then i begin to add the miles piled up behind me i barely feel a smile deep inside me”
Idk why when i first heard this i felt a deep conection to the lyrics. Not just these lines the whole song just makes me feel weird safe but scared anxuise and calm.
“While you’re doing fine, there’s some people and I, who have a really tough time getting though this life so excuse us while we sing to the sky.”
The lyrics from Friend, Please because it sets a very high standard for the way we should care for each other.
“Follow me instead”
“And then I saw him torch in hand, he laid it out wbat he had planned, and then I said i’ll take the grave, please just send them all my way”
All of taxi cab
“A chair now, is like a tiny island in a sea of all the people”

“I scream, you scream, we all scream ’cause we’re terrified of what’s around the corner. We stay in place ’cause we don’t wanna lose our lives…”
Idk, it hits hard because I take it as life? Like, we dont know what’s going to happen so we stay where we are. If we dont stay in our place then we lose what we have build socially. just how my mind works I guess. :l
Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision My crime is my sentence repentance is taking commission It’s taking a toll on my soul I’m screaming submission and I don’t know if I am dying or living Cause I will save face for names sake Abuse grace take an aim to obtain A new name in a newer place But my name is lame I can’t walk and I ain’t the same And my name became a destiny to the grave.
Personally like the Drown version better than the Fall Away one but this will forever be my favorite verse written by Tyler Joseph
Also Why won’t you let me go? Do I threaten all your plan? I’m insignificant! Please tell them you have no plans for me! I will set my soul on fire. What have I become

Ode to Sleep
And, I don’t understand why everything I adore takes a different form when I squint my eyes have you ever done that when you squint your eyes and your eyelashes make it look a little not right and when just the right light comes from just the right side and you find you’re not who you’re supposed to be??

Forest
Also, You’ve got one time to figure it out! One time to twist and one time to shout. One time to think and I say we start now

Heavydirtysoul
Also, I’m not good with directions, and I hide behind my mouth. I’m a pro at imperfections and I’m best friends with my doubt! And now that my minds out and now I hear it clear and loud I’m thinking wow, I probably shoulda stayed inside my house..:

The Judge
Guys I’ll straight up say it I adore 1000% of their songs so 🤷🏼♂️

I love those lyrics. Every time I listen to Drown and Fall Away, I can’t decide which one I like more. The one in Fall Away sounds more desperate, at least to me. But I feel like it sounds better in Drown, in some ways as well. I’m not sure, to be honest. But I really do love those lyrics.
Nacho bell grande, Cheesy gordita I like your nachos like diarrhea Man, I really like Taco bell This hit me like a truck. The entire TB Saga is too beautiful. Every line is so perfect. Tyler has such a way with words.

“My chalupa” makes me feel things, yanno? I get so emotional every time I hear it.
“It is faith and there’s sleep We need to pick one please because Faith is to be awake And to be awake is for us to think And for us to think is to be alive And I will try with every rhyme To come across like I am dying To let you know you need to try to think”
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 deserts 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 Of water
Addict with a Pen, by far has my favorite lyrics, next to My Blood.
“Take me out and finish this waste of a life Everyone one gather around for a show Watch as this man disappears as we know Do me a favor and try to ignore When you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor Cause nobody knows his life”
No one else is dealing with your demons Maybe meaning defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning friend.
But I tell ’em Why won’t you let me go Do I threaten all your plans? I’m insignificant Please tell ’em You have no plans for me I will set my soul on fire What have I become, I’ll tell ’em all
I was just starting to listen to them and didnt really know anything about the band or Tyler or Josh or their background. When I heard these lyrics, they just hit me like a ton of bricks. As a spirit filled believer I could relate to dealing with demons attacking you and asking why me? Nights and nights of being afraid of the dark and praying against them and praying to God to please just make them stop and go away. Spiritual warfare is so draining 🙁
“I ponder of something great. My lungs will fill and then deflate. They fill with fire exhale desire. I know it’s dire my time today”
And then out of the corner of my eye
I see a spaceship in the sky
And hear the voice inside my head
“Follow me instead”
“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 deserts 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 of water.” And then the passion Tyler displays when he screams “Water!” hits me so hard.
“I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink, but now I’m insecure and I care what people think” As a little kid, I was super outgoing, never cared what people thought of me and such. But now, after various life experiences that changed how I see people and stuff, this lyric rings so true to me, it’s sad but really funny at the same time!
Definitely the whole rap part of taxi cab. I’m not gonna put them all here, but they have so much meaning in that song. I love it.
I’m surprised none posted this:
The old man sits all by himself
And thinks of better years
When he used to believe in stars
And would dream away his fears
The young boy moves so fast he doesn’t
See the stars above
And all his dreams are crushed by old man
Who didn’t dream enough
Not my fav, but they deserve a spot in this thread
Fast Food Greasy Taco I love… When I listen or read those words I hold back tears
“I’ve got two faces, blurry’s the one i’m not” together with “And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be, Right in front of me” by Amber Run basically took me out of a hole filled with alcohol, self doubt and the feeling of always being worse then anyone else, and i will always be thankful for the people who wrote that.

“Take me back and finish this waste of the life, everyone gather around for a show…”
“Take me out and finish this waste of a life Everyone one gather around for a show Watch as this man disappears as we know Do me a favor and try to ignore When you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor Cause nobody knows his life”
Take me out and finish this waste of a life Everyone one gather around for a show Watch as this man disappears as we know Do me a favor and try to ignore When you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor Cause nobody knows his life
“We all know somebody who knows somebody who’s doing great
I know some people who know people who are flying straight
But I’ll kindly enter into rooms of depression
While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again”
I love this song but this part hits me so hard. For some reason I know exactly what “ceiling fans taking my life again” means and ughhhh.
Still one of my favorites tho.
“And you swear to your parents, that it will never happen again, I know. I know, how that feels, I know.”
Listened to Guns for Hands a few days after a failed (ya know) and it hit me so hard cuz I was caught and it was horrible. Constantly reminding me not to do it anymore after hearing that verse…
“I wanted to be a better brother, better son.”
The fact that I only really ever had my mother and sister throughout my whole life, and the fact that I was always scared of never being enough, really hit way too close to home for me.
Also, “when you packed my car you reached in the back and buckled up your heart” was one of the only lyrics in any song ever that made me audibly go “holy shit.”
Weirdly I think the lyric and title ‘Be Concerned’ is an incredibly powerful statement. It has such a terrifying realness to it. Even the way he says the word “concerned” makes it seem as if he is about to act immensely. Scares and moves me every time I listen to it.
“I’m scared of my own head.”
