"my life isnt even really that important" TYLER ROBERT JOSEPH YOU STAY SEATED IN THAT CHAIR MISTER WHILE I EXPLAIN TO YOU JUST HOW WRONG THAT STATEMENT IS
I've had a lot of people (family, friends, doctors etc.) who tell me "life is always worth living" but Tyler is the one who kept me alive because I look up to him so much... to thinks that he has hurt himself kills me inside and I'm so extremely happy that he is here now to help so many people through what he has gone through personally....
I'm so insecure about the fact that there is a part of me that likes being sad because people always look at me differently like 'wtf thats really screwed up.' But after hearing Tyler say that he likes being sad too it just fills me with some sort of broken hope, almost like a reassurance that there is someone else who enjoys viewing the world from perspectives you can only see from certain angles. All this makes very little sense, it's sort of like how on earth you can see a lot of beautiful sights and laugh with your friends but only when you're alone, floating in space can you really take in the beauty of the planet idk ill stop talking now sorry
I relate a lot and it hit me hard when he said that. Idk about you, but I feel...selfish I guess because I enjoy being sad or moody. It just feels so much more real and deep than being happy, at least sometimes.
The metaphor you used explained perfectly what it is that so many people experience personally. Don't apologize, it was brilliant. And as for people who make you feel ashamed for liking to be sad, you know, it... It is weird. But it's also so common that people should be educated on it. And anyone who thinks your weird because of the things you love, they mean to hurt you so that (in their own twisted minds) they can "improve" you, but being weird is good. Unique. Cool. Inspiring. Don't ever be ashamed of that.
i feel the same way. and it does feel more real. its like if happiness were a color, it's only one color. compared to all the other colors under the general 'upset' term.
I've never seen a comment so accurate. Between this part and the first I've cried about 8 times. For many reasons. 1. You can see the pain in Tyler's eyes and hear the pain in his voice and it kills me endlessly. Now 2. Everything he says in his songs are so relatable and when you think about how much he put into his music and how much he relates to the songs it's hurts and feels good at the same time. There's someone out there feeling the exact same things and have gone through the same struggles and felt the same pain. It's a good feeling but it hurts.
I love how deliberate and careful he is about each of his words like he doesn't just automatically say what comes to his mind, he thinks about what he is going to say and is very thoughtful about it
The fact that I exist in the same time period and age that he does is astounding and I'm so greatful to be able to experience his talent and still be able to have (even a slight) chance to meet him
I can relate to the liking being sad. It's so hard to explain it to people cause they're all like " why are you so twisted? Being sad's not good" but it calms me down and is comforting.
starlles Listen to Lithium by Evanescence. It talks about exactly that. That song really touched and made me realize I wasn't the only one who felt that way.
starlles same. Everytime I look even a tiny bit sad my mum asks me straight away “whats wrong?!“ or she says “smile!“ and I don't know how to explain to her that I like being sad sometimes. And not being able to explain makes me even sadder but not in a good way.
yeah I get that. I will sometimes just sit and think of terrible things but I don't want to move. I have no other way to describe it than simply content. I am contempt with everything. I know how I feel and even though it isn't a good feeling, its ok.
TokyoBlue some people don’t have enough money to. This person loved TØP enough to actually spend their money on them, when they probably needed that money for something else. Not everybody is loaded lol
Okay basically everyone says Tyler was forced to talk about this and he doesn't want to. But what if he does want to explain it, even though it's hard for him? I mean he is a grown up man, I believe he wouldn't do anything that he doesn't want to/can't do at all. I don't have any facts about how Tyler feels with this but I doubt anyone else has either, I don't know.
+DevilxPanther okay, he's a grown up man, but exactly in this video (well, in part 1, to be honest) he raises these questions: "why can't i do what i want to do? and why do i always do what i don't want to do?" so basically he's saying he always ends up being forced to do things he doesn't want to do, maybe this commentary being a perfect example. just my own view though
+Maluska T. Burton why can't I be the best brother in the world? Why do I always do the opposite of that instead? That's what he means. Sometimes he knows he does the opposite of what he wants to do and the real question is, why can't I do what I want?
Everything Tyler said I can relate to, how he likes to be sad and the way he spoke about each and every song like as if it had the deepest meaning in the world, which to me they do. Tyler thought so carefully and spoke so honestly about each song, he went into so much depth and the way he said it you could just tell he has experienced a lot of bad things, he mentions a little about it in interviews but you hear his pain, you hear what he's been through when you listen to the music. He doesn't hold back, he never holds back. You feel the music in a way you feel the void inside you but with Twenty One Pilots music they take that void out and it fills you with something, worhthiness. You could even tell by the look in Tyler's eyes how much these songs mean to him, how much the message he wants to spread means to him, how much we mean to him. It doesn't matter that he doesn't know I exist, I don't need to tell him how hard life is because he gets it. I never thought I would be able to explain my thoughts but Twenty One Pilots manage to put my thoughts, even my darkest thoughts into music. I love how I can lay there and listen to the music because it doesn't feel like music, or art it feels like more. When songs (in Twenty One Pilots case, all their songs) become your thoughts spilled into music so honestly and painfully that's when you feel a deep emotional attachment. Those songs know you, they know your thoughts, they feel your pain, lonliness and sturggles with life and that's what I love about this band. They're my solace, I grip onto them with my life. I didn't think life had a purpose, I felt trapped and still do feel lonely and no one understands me but Tyler does, it makes my life feel more worthy. I am so grateful for that, I love how he explained about death being inevitable, I talk about death and get told it isn't normal, death is natural I feel like it should be discussed more. I only fear the people I care about dying, and how ill die and I hope there's something after death. I am thankful for Tyler he deserves the best.
I thank you deeply for writing this. Today's been one of those days when life is worth absolutely nothing and when it seems to there be nothing that can create the slightliest feeling of being alive. Seeing Tyler speak so beautifully about his feelings and experiences, how he tries to put it into his music, and then seeing you speak the things I didn't have the strength to put together, it was priceless. Once again, thank you very much for this. Forgive me for the language mistakes that I probably made.
+Miguel Ângelo Dias it's okay, I hope you're okay too? I feel like that too, life has been so painful for me I've just given up hope and lost all strength in everything. that darkness just consumes my mind more each day. But you are strong and you can get through what it is you are going through. It will get easier, I may not believe it when people tell me those words, but please it believe it from me. You will be okay, I hope it gets better for you. You deserve to feel like life has meaning. :)
+ParxdiseHarry I've been a TØP fan for only a few months, but I can say that my life has changed in this period in a way I could never had imagined. I always found irritatingly cliche to say "this band changed my life", but I realised how deep and true this sentence could be. I felt understood as a human being when I saw someone put most of my insecurities, uncertainties and fears into his music, into the main way the world will know him from, and how he really want to get this message across any barrier, so people can hear that they are not alone in all this trouble, that there's other people that suffer with the same questions. It has given me a lot of hope in myself, even when it seems to be stupid as I think I'm completely worthless. "Migraine" is probably one of the songs that speak to me the most. I really like the verse "Life has a hopeful undertone". It's hard to believe when you have strong self trust issues, but I try to keep that in mind once in a while.
+ParxdiseHarry Thank you very much for taking some time to answer this extremely annoying stranger. I love this sense of care that we TØP fans have. I really hope that your matters will get better soon. We're all lost in this crazy world, but we're lost together in the same boat. Maybe we can find some interesting places while we search for our destination. :) You seem to be a really nice person, it was nice exchanging these words with you. Let's all stay alive. |-/
+Miguel Ângelo Dias +ParxdiseHarry So, I'm mainly replying to this in regards to the statement Tyler made about how he enjoys being sad, he likes being sad. I find deeper meaning in that statement and I wanted to share- although before I do, as many of my statements in my past have sounded off, I'd like to apologize if I offend either of you in anyway. It isn't my intention, I'm just sharing my emotions towards a topic I care about. |-/ Tyler states in the Video above that he likes to be sad. Now, as I said above, I find a deep meaning in this statement. Now, in terms of sadness bringing enjoyment or likeness- I find myself at a stalemate with the statement. Sadness and Depression I find CAN be similar but can be two very different things. Obviously to be depressed, you'd have to have been sad before. Now, being depressed can bring a multitude of emotions, I find that a few can relate to an Uncontrollable Psychological Hysteria or a Mentally Broken Down Thought Process. These aren't terms that are Doctored out by anyone either, this is how I represent these emotions to myself. Now, I can honestly agree in terms of enjoying sadness, sometimes. I will openly admit I enjoy sitting on a bench, seat or looking out a window with headphones and getting into deep thought. Its how I write stories and create graphics. Its how I edit videos. Mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean that this 'sadness' I'm feeling is on the verge of becoming depression, as it simply isn't that type of sadness. When it comes to this; I represent it exactly as Tyler stated it- Taking this dry emotion, this distraught mess of a feeling and pointing it towards something, it doesn't necessarily have to be more positive- however it still points in a better direction then it would if I didn't try. An example of this kind of change would be my writing. When I am 'thinking', I tend to take emotions and enjoy utilizing them in characters or settings. Sometimes it can be positive and sometimes it can be negative. Sometimes its even balanced, but the point is I've pointed it from the back of my mind where it can fester towards somewhere else in my mind. Similarly to how Tyler has explained he writes. He has taken the experiences he has known for his entire life and utilized them to make others realize that the loneliness that often brings sadness or depression isn't necessarily so lonely. We have a family in this Clique. People who WILL talk to us, people who WILL befriend us. Similarly to how you Miguel and Harry have created a positive and insightful conversation through the explanations of sadness and twenty one pilots as a whole. We are a combinations of people who have all experienced similarities in perspective, sadness, depression and loneliness. We have things to discuss- this is because of Tyler and Josh. As off putting as it may sound, they created something with light. They created something that allowed others to see in a sea of fire and dark black smoke. Even though sometimes we all slip back into it, even if we feel like we are still stuck there. We all have a reason, a purpose. For ourselves. Within ourselves. The world has beauty inside of itself, and our bodies can help create this beauty. It takes time, and time is a man made concept of which is a cause for depression, and its usually very individual.. however that doesn't disdain from the idea that we, the Clique can be here for each other. That you have purpose- and there is no reason in the world, the mind, the soul. No reason at all that you wouldn't have purpose. I can't stress it enough here, but- Stay Alive. Clear your smoke and see what you find. Stay Alive. |-/
Same! I understood that to be the meaning of the song and it always brings me to tears. At the same time, though, I always picture the happy ending, where you finally get the answer. ^_^
I love the twenty one pilots fanbase. Everyone is so kind and respectful of other people's opinions where as in different fanbases, people can be really nasty.
I agree! I remember watching a video at a FOB concert, and this woman tried to get out (she was in a wheelchair) and a bunch of people were cursing her out and saying "why did you come?" I believe it was MONUMENTOUR, not saying the FOB fanbase is bad (I am a very dedicated member xD) but you know- some people can be really rude :P My god what a run on sentence
these videos make me really sad bc you can tell that tyler is trying not to talk about the lyrics and how much they mean and you can literally see the pain in his eyes especially when he talks about gun for hands it seems like he's trying to brush it off but it's just so important and meaningful and i'm really sad
it's so true what he said about how being sad makes life bareable. i have lost count of the nights where i have cried myself to sleep or listened to music staring out the window at 3 am. he is so impowering, god i love him so much.
They said that being happy does actually make you feel happy. They lied. I'm happy when i'm sad because, when i'm sad I start to think. Just sitting and pretending that this world is fucked up. That makes me happy because it's the truth. I could pretend that i'm happy. But i'm not a liar. What if being sad makes me happy? Just let me be sad. Just let me think. Just let me stand in the rain pretending that everything is ment to be that way. Just let me be me. Just let me be the sad girl. Just let me do what I wanna do. Cause I like being sad and pretending that everything is ok.
I Like How He Said "I Love Starting Things In Minor Because It's Sad &I Like To Be Sad ...I Don't Know It Just Makes...Makes Life More Bearable Sometimes I Like Being Sad I Mean I Like Putting Headphones In &Looking Out The Window &Pretending Like Im A Sad Little Main Character Of Some Movie" ...Yeah, I Like Doing That Too I Like How He's Just So Weird/Awkward/...Different I Would Really Like To Meet Him &Not Just Because He's Famous But Because I Would Really Like To Get To Know Him As A Person Idk I Just Like Tyler &Josh /_.
Ulysses Lopez He so rateable too, Honestly I feel the same way as him & everything he says I can either relate to or is something I do too, it's so weird but it's nice.
That part where he likes to be sad.. I totally get him. I honestly thought I was weird for liking to be sad but it's so nice to know I can relate to him
When he says his life isn't important I completely disagree because he's saved so many people and without him they wouldn't be here. Everyone's life matters. Stay alive |-/
I feel like he means that someday he will be forgotten. He's not Fredy Mercury, of course he will be remembered but he's knows he's not a legend. I feel like none of our existences are actually important since we're all just a clone of each other now. But I agree with what you said too, important or not he will die and he will leave a dent in this world.
Sam D everyone's life matters yes. But tyler has let go of what he can do with his life for himself. That's why he says it doesn't matter. He lives his life to be an encouragement to those struggling. Because he himself has struggled. That's what he lives for. It's amazing
I think its beautiful that tyler is generally opposed to putting additional meaning on his lyrics. I remember in 9th grade English class we were interpreting poems. Me and my classmates would raise our hands and said what we thought Edgar Allen Poe or whoever meant by the colors of doors in their poem. We were all told we were wrong. Unfortunately the school system underestimates the power of an individuals personal interpretation of stuff.
Thank you. I am always bothered by interpreting different forms of art in school and being told what we thought was wrong. Art is not right or wrong, art is art, and art is for the people and for happiness.
People stopped watching this after the first one because they felt that by watching this, they would be disrespecting Tyler. It looked like Tyler didn't want to talk about this and he was forced to. It's making me sad watching this too. He already spoke the words he wanted to say in the songs, and he didn't want to go into the whole song meanings because the songs mean a lot to him..
dont think so. the value of rare is great. with rare you can have conversation with the artist. like only a small group. too many people make the fanbase complex and the artist had to stay more anonymous
Looking out a window and listening to Goner or Kitchen sink or Car radio is what I do. When I'm sad or bothered or worried I seem to listen to more sad music that some how makes me feel better. I'm not an unhappy person barely anything bad has happened to me but when he says "Stay alive it's worth it. I promise." I feel like I should take his advice to heart just because he said it. When he says something it must be important.
whenever I'm sad I listen to songs of either vessel or No phun intended and look out my window and just cry. People have called me crazy but it helps me!
he really does such a great job at making people feel less alone. he helps me realize that we are all connected in some way whether its the fondness of being sad. sadness is a safe place. or anxiety. we're all connected in some way through his voice, through the lyrics that come from a personal place in his head. no matter where we are in this world we are connected.
I wish so bad that I could just sit down with Tyler and Josh and thank them for how their music has changed me, it's inspired me to enjoy music more, to use the talents I've been given and to develop them further and to push to be the best musician I can be, without them I don't know what I would be doing but I probably would have just given up on music entirely
It's pains me how he tries to skip over that fact most of the songs he writes are either about suicide or depression. I've always wanted him to be happy, but I still feel like he's unsatisfied with his life.
Tyjo R Hoeseph hi I am a new fan and I have got questions What has been going on in Tyler's head about Depression, Suicide? There is evidence in his songs yes I know but please someone explain me what actually happened to him from the start until now please someone explain me
Vault Boy it's crazy that you said that. Tyler has always reminded me of Kurt cobain. Just the way they talk and carry themselves, and the issues they touch on in their lyrics. I've never said anything bc I thought I was the only one.
The Kurt Cobain reference was something I was thinking of, just yesterday. After listening to Goner, I switched over to Nirvana's Unplugged. When you hear Cobain's commentary, in between the songs, so much of it reminds of the way Tyler sounds in this interview. I mean, there are stark differences between Kurt Cobain and Tyler Joseph, their faith being a major one. I also think that Tyler has determined that there is still something fundamentally good about the world, as broken as it is, it is still worth fixing. I feel like Cobain lost sight of that. It could have been the drugs, his relationships, his discomfort with fame, but something caused him to lose sight. I think when Cobain went into the Trees and called out he heard nothing and that nothing crushed him. I don't think Joseph will end up like Cobain, not at all, but I think they had very similar thoughts. It just goes to show you that it's not the thoughts... it's what you do with those thoughts.
I know a lot of people say TOP has saved them from suicide but I feel like they've saved me in a different way. I have this inner darkness but instead of fighting it I embrace it. I use my rage for power. I feel like these are song where I can just slip away into another dark mind and I can understand myself better. Although it's metaphorical they have saved me. From me
I think Tyler has to be the most inspiring person ever. He always has a true reason for what he does. He digs so deep into importance of everything. We need more people like him who aren't afraid to say what they mean, and mean what they say. God bless him. He's my hero.
I have a very unhealthy obsession with music, but probably even more unhealthy is my obsession with singers. In absolutely no way am I saying other members are less important. Never ever would that be true. But singers are captivating people. There's just something about them that draws me in. They're the masterminds behind the lyrics, they're the ones who carry the audience through their emotions while performing and they have things to say. If they didn't they wouldn't be singers in the first place. And Tyler is one of those captivating people that I can't learn enough about. I've seen Twenty One Pilots live once, and it was incredible. Seeing him perform the songs after only hearing them through my headphones is just amazing. And I'm happy to say I shall be seeing them again in April and I'm positive it'll be an entirely new experience because of this man. He's one of the most complex thinkers I've seen. (Okay long comment over).
i totally get what you're saying, but sometimes the deepest lyrics aren't written by the singers. take fall out boy for example. patrick sings all of the emotional stuff but most of it is written by pete.
Jasmine M True, but Patrick Stump has some great solo work though so I know he has it in him to write great songs as well. (I don't know Fall Out Boy all that well though to be honest). Now that I think about it there's also Queen, "You're My Best Friend" was written by their bassist for his wife but asked Freddie to sing it. I guess I shouldn't have collectively stated that they all specifically write the lyrics. It's just the singers I had in mind when writing that comment do. Like Billie Joe Armstrong, Tom DeLonge, Tyler obviously haha and some others.
Listen to Alter Bridge-In loving memory, the lead guitarist mark tremonti wrote a song for his mom. If you're into lyrics...this band is very respectable and has meaning to every single song. Watching over you, blackbird, shed my skin, one by one, and I know it hurts.
I'm so glad I found twenty one pilots I really think it was meant. For example when stressed out became 'famous' or whatever you call it I honestly don't like that word but some people liked the song so they wanted to listen to more of their music and I think it was meant for the people who stick around to found them because we need it. I had a really hard time figuring out stuff you know all the struggles teenagers go trough and I was listening to self titled for the first time and the words helped me so much I can't even explain, the second verse in isle of flightless birds was like I asked the question that had been running through my head and then it hit me. I don't really know what it was but I it was like I was stuck. I tried to open the door by myself but it didn't work. When I heard those songs it gave me what I needed to open the door and I started thinking a lot different than I had before and it inspired me.
I found TØP the same way. I heard stressed out and ride and those were the only songs I listened to for a while. But then I felt like I needed to go deeper into there music and I'm glad I did because without them I don't even know what would be going on with me.
I'm watching this really late at night. I'm always more emotional at night and so when Tyler was talking about how Truce is a dedication to us, I completely lost it. I don't even know how to comprehend how thankful I am for finding this band and being apart of the clique. It's such a wonderful circle. I can hear the realness in his words when he says thank you and I, along with many of you, are so thankful in return. We really do appreciate each other and that is what has helped me cope. I love this band. |-/
his explanation for guns for hands and truce really comfort me. because he's being so blatantly honest about real issues that aren't talked about enough. it comforts me to know he's getting out such a positive message. i love this man.
I love how he adresses the fact that he 'likes' being sad. I feel like this is a good representation of depression (not at all saying that it is enjoyable) but from my own experience, I will say that sometimes it almost hurts to be happy. and it's just easier to feel that emptiness and sadness that you're used to.
he looked so fucking sick of himself. so fucking mad at himself for getting something wrong just by simply calling truce truth. it honestly made me feel so heart broken because he's obviously just so emotional at the time this was being filmed and just ugh
In case anyone wants to listen to Vessel song-by-song with the commentary (which, for the record, is pretty interesting), here's time codes for when he talks about individual tracks and the album as a whole. 0:00 Guns For Hands 2:21 Trees 5:22 Truce 7:14 Vessel
there's actually an album on spotify where he does commentary for each song too!!! it's all in a playlist too with the songs if that's any easier :-) open.spotify.com/user/twentyonepilots/playlist/1Fe0hfPWRrQcrGvzCRFTDz |-/
One of the main reasons fueled by Raman made them drop regional at best was because of the religious tones. And you can tell they are breathing down his neck in this interview, It looks like Tyler wanted to say the thing he was seeking in “trees” was God, and even when he was talking about his body being a vessel of whatever’s inside... like his soul, and I could see the frustration in his face of wanting to talk about that but having a big record label watching him like a hawk.
I want to hug this man. And listen to his thoughts. He is so intelligent, even if he dropped out of college, his knowledge is so much more than scholarly.
I see a lot of people saying that it makes them angry or it hurts them to see Tyler in pain talking about issues that he has dealt with personally, and I get that. But to me, this video and the part 1 of this video are probably the most important and insightful videos I have ever seen about Tyler. It gives such depth into his mind, into his thinking. He is a bright guy, a smart guy. I have never in my life seen someone connect with others so effectively on such an emotional level. The fact that he is alone talking to a camera(or a person behind the camera) just makes it so authentic and real. A lot of the commentary gave more depth to the songs and I am glad I watched both of the videos. Stay alive, guys. I-/
"Being sad makes life bearable." That statements is 110% true. Just think, if we weren't ever sad we would all be completely insane because of how happy we were. For example, you don't want to watch a movie where everyone is happy cause then it'll be boring, but if you have at least one sad character in that movie, it brings a weird exciting light to the movie. So if we were never sad, we all be completely crazy. Idk if that made any sense at all.
"My life isn't that important." A lot of people including me think that but if you died, we'd all die whether it's physically or mentally. I don't know what I'd do without you and Josh or what I'd do if I hadn't discovered your music and met all of my amazing clique friends.
I like sad music because it makes me think. Many people don't like to think, but I refuse to be afraid of my thoughts. I face the sadness. I love deep convicting lyrics. It makes me feel something.
Oh my I feel the exact same way. People are living so simply by never facing their thoughts, fears or problems... They just live life the easiest way they can and judge anyone that thinks "too much"... Music like TOP's helps me think and feel emotions. Like real emotions. Sadness is a really strong one and I like to feel it. I don't know.
After hearing Tyler i feel like I'm no longer alone. My perspective in things, in life, in this world, about other people, about myself even is basically everything Tyler has said. No wonder I was drawn so quickly to his music. The minor chords because I love sad songs because I'm a sad person. Im just so grateful to know there's someone like Tyler who see things exactly how i see things.
he's so dismal the whole time and it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful, you can feel his passion. Each song means so much to him as well as the album as a whole and you can tell that in discussing each song it brings him back to a time where he needed to write that song to feel relief. this man is more genuine and wise then anyone in the music industry and probably anyone in the 21st century. i don't know where i would be right now without tøp. no one will ever now the complete severity or depth of Tyler's pain, but it's nice to know there's someone out their expressing how i feel in the slightest way
i don't think Tyler has it all figured out... he's clearly frustrated with many of his thoughts and the workings of the world. i think more than anything he just wants to get across that it's okay to not know, as long as you keep going and trying to figure it out, and know that youre not alone. people see themselves very differently from how others see them, and Tyler is a perfect example of that. no matter how much success, money, fame he has.. he's still just trying to figure it all out. i'm so thankful for what he's done. it makes it easier knowing something so beautiful came from whatever it is that he's gone through, and being able to relate so strongly to it.
seeing these comments and how people can relate so much make me happy and sad, happy because we all feel alone, when we're really not. but sad because we feel the way we do because certain situations in our lives. tyler talking about these things made me cry, it made me think about how much he went through emotionally. stay alive.
Vessel. I hear your message and I appreciated every word Tyler. I'm so thankful for the chance to have heard all your album's, words, and some interviews. thank you josh and Tyler for pushing through and making twenty one pilots happen. I should say great job because I don't feel thank you is quite the right term. ❤
what i aprecciate the most is that you can see he is struggling doing this but he still does it. i don't know if he is doing it because he thinks he might help someone but either way i am so grateful
i am actually crying. words cannot describe how much this man means to me, and how important his message is to me personally. and it pains me to see him in pain. idk this just makes me feel really really sad, but better at the same time.
I was drawing instead of doing something else a lot worse and was listening to the guns for hands part and it made me just stop and sit there with my head down because I feel so, alone. It made me cry and that's saying something.
I feel like I know him a lot better. Most days I act melancholy and think a lot about why the world works, he just expresses it lyrically and ties it in a nice bow so it's easier to hear and relate to. He treats us like a friend, there a literally billions of us listening to Josh and Tyler who trying their best to give us a message of hope through music, seeing as its hard to give that message individually. I appreciate that they still care.
Sometimes I just feel like I need a hug from Tyler and I imagine it being like holding one of the most important people that have made a positive impact. Everyday I wonder why I'm still alive, nobody cares if I live or died, but Tyler seems to care and that's enough for me to keep hanging on
tyler really makes me feel like im not alone. he is the only person i have ever felt like i could relate to. he is the only person i feel like i can sit down and talk with about life and such. he is honestly the most important person to me. this album has really helped me because all my life ive always felt like i was so out there. i always felt like i was so different from everyone else and ive always felt like i was crazy and alone and worthless but you know what? once i found this band, once i listened to this music, once i listened to tyler talk like this, i finally, for once in my life, finally felt like i wasn't alone. i felt like i finally have someone who knows literally exactly what im going through and that's all ive ever wanted. if it wasn't for this guy right here, i don't know what i would do. i stay alive everyday and pull through any negative things in my life because of tyler. he's my reason. my purpose. my everything. i thank god everyday that i found this band. thank you for everything |-/
I really want to know all the crazy stuff he does when he is alone, just to see how much i do or don't relate to him. I just love hearing him talk because he thinks way beyond the average person and I wish i had those capabilities. On a smaller scale, I do believe I think beyond but I could just listen to him talk about deep shit for hours. Also does anyone know if he has ADHD because I feel like he acts that way
I agree, I think he has ADHD, first of all he wants attention, I could say because he have got a lot of AWESOME, INSPIRING,(EVERYTHING) messages to say to the world. ( he's worth paid an attention to) , and my teacher once said those twitches are also signs. I wish I know him. regardless to Grace's message: I really love Twenty one pilots. the messages are so lovely meaningful, so inspiring, encouraging, it contains every positive thing in the world. The music it's so harmonious, the best.. Stay Alive Everyone.
He doesn't have ADHD. I've got ADHD and I know it kinda effects everyone slightly different but he capable of doing things that not in a million years I could do. The one thing that convinces me is that he carries on an explanation thoroughly without constant or overly long pauses. He's also got an incredibly good memory and sense of organization which is not usual for people with ADD or ADHD. If you take a look a Brendon Urie, oh that boy's got some ADHD.
Katie Kearns yeah I got ADHD and also yeah Brendon has talked about it a lot and I love him, but I'm still not sure about Tyler but the long speeches without hesitation isn't necesarially true I have seen him stop and also if you are passionate about what you're talking about (well at least for me) I can talk about it without blanking usually. I think that's the same for Tyler because all the stuff he writes about means a lot to him
I just love how genuine Tyler is like there's not many artists who discuss such personal and real and relatable topics with such passion. Like there r other artists who say that that do this too but he's different and stands out among all artists. He's so honest and so real and I just can't explain how much I love that
Trees has always been my favorite song by them. Today, I went to the forest and at the time I didn't realize that I too was looking for something. Now, I'm watching this and it's like, "Yes, this is what I feel when I go out by myself!" To have someone put this into words and music helps so much with what I, and so many other people, struggle with.

"my life isnt even really that important" TYLER ROBERT JOSEPH YOU STAY SEATED IN THAT CHAIR MISTER WHILE I EXPLAIN TO YOU JUST HOW WRONG THAT STATEMENT IS
I KNOW RIGHT
sister daniel stole my editing tips ..............okay??.........
sister daniel stole my editing tips same
sister daniel stole my editing tips EXACTLY
IKR
He's one of the few people who i believe when they say "it's worth it to just hang on"
me too
Ya exactly
same
Same. Truce literally saved my life
I've had a lot of people (family, friends, doctors etc.) who tell me "life is always worth living" but Tyler is the one who kept me alive because I look up to him so much... to thinks that he has hurt himself kills me inside and I'm so extremely happy that he is here now to help so many people through what he has gone through personally....
"I like to start things in a minor because it's sad and I like being sad"
me too fren
:)
2:54
Raise your hand if this made you cry.
*everyone in audience raises hand* *josh raises hand* *crew raises hand* *whole world raises hand* *tyler raises hand*
**raises hand**
I am raising both my hands and feet. you don't know how much I cried. I'm in a hotel room and my parents are watching sob my eyes out
*jumps in the air* I SHALL RAISE EVERYTHING
+emilyisnotcreative me. Literally me
I'm so insecure about the fact that there is a part of me that likes being sad because people always look at me differently like 'wtf thats really screwed up.' But after hearing Tyler say that he likes being sad too it just fills me with some sort of broken hope, almost like a reassurance that there is someone else who enjoys viewing the world from perspectives you can only see from certain angles. All this makes very little sense, it's sort of like how on earth you can see a lot of beautiful sights and laugh with your friends but only when you're alone, floating in space can you really take in the beauty of the planet idk ill stop talking now sorry
I relate a lot and it hit me hard when he said that. Idk about you, but I feel...selfish I guess because I enjoy being sad or moody. It just feels so much more real and deep than being happy, at least sometimes.
The metaphor you used explained perfectly what it is that so many people experience personally. Don't apologize, it was brilliant. And as for people who make you feel ashamed for liking to be sad, you know, it... It is weird. But it's also so common that people should be educated on it. And anyone who thinks your weird because of the things you love, they mean to hurt you so that (in their own twisted minds) they can "improve" you, but being weird is good. Unique. Cool. Inspiring. Don't ever be ashamed of that.
i feel the same way. and it does feel more real. its like if happiness were a color, it's only one color. compared to all the other colors under the general 'upset' term.
you're the kind of person that restores my faith in humanity
+readitandweeb Who, me? I hope so, 'cause that's the nicest thing anyone has ever (potentially) said to me.
"I like putting headphones in and looking out the window and pretending like I'm a sad little main character of some movie." me too...
I've never related to something more...
I honestly do the exact same thing
Tyler needs to start doing audiobooks. I would listen to them over and over.
Fuck yea
Palmstar125 or podcasts
Palmstar125 Omg yes!
Bro yessss
I love his talking voice, I could listen to him talk for hours
I fell asleep to this.
Man, I was trying so hard not to fall asleep 'cause I wanted to look at him talk too. His voice really is so relaxing.
Nawal same
ikr hes an angel his raspy voice is just so sweet and relaxing
me to
I think we all needed this even though we all hate it at the same time
yes
I've never seen a comment so accurate. Between this part and the first I've cried about 8 times. For many reasons. 1. You can see the pain in Tyler's eyes and hear the pain in his voice and it kills me endlessly. Now 2. Everything he says in his songs are so relatable and when you think about how much he put into his music and how much he relates to the songs it's hurts and feels good at the same time. There's someone out there feeling the exact same things and have gone through the same struggles and felt the same pain. It's a good feeling but it hurts.
yes.
FlowersAG Agreed😕
8 so happy to see I'm not the only one
Tyler almost didn't include Truce in the album... Had he just listened to everyone else and just left it out, I wouldn't be alive right now.
Twenty Paphonies thats so amazing. You don't understand how much that means to me. You deserve to be here. You really do.
l-/
I’m so grateful you’re here still, 2 years later, stay alive ||-//
❤
"I like to be sad, it makes life more bearable" - probably the most truest words I've ever heard
he is like the most realist person ever, i just want to talk to him about anything and life would be great
Tyler: I'm not even that important.
Me: ummmmmm I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you there.
+Kellen Solomon THANK YOU.
Same
Hes talking about his soul and how much more important it is becuse it the only thing that last forever its eternal ......
I love how deliberate and careful he is about each of his words like he doesn't just automatically say what comes to his mind, he thinks about what he is going to say and is very thoughtful about it
"My life isn't really that important" Maybe not, but even the fact that Tyler exists makes me extremely happy.
+Ducky Duckerson when was that?
+Melody Marie 8:21
Exactly. I'm so happy he exists. And I hope he knows by now that his life _is_ very important to a great many people.
+Ducky Duckerson Right? Just knowing that he's still alive after all the things he writes about, gives me alot of hope.
The fact that I exist in the same time period and age that he does is astounding and I'm so greatful to be able to experience his talent and still be able to have (even a slight) chance to meet him
i could watch him talk for hours
it's why i wish i knew him.
I don’t think you understand that I have been
I can relate to the liking being sad. It's so hard to explain it to people cause they're all like " why are you so twisted? Being sad's not good" but it calms me down and is comforting.
I couldn't agree more
starlles Listen to Lithium by Evanescence. It talks about exactly that. That song really touched and made me realize I wasn't the only one who felt that way.
starlles same. Everytime I look even a tiny bit sad my mum asks me straight away “whats wrong?!“ or she says “smile!“ and I don't know how to explain to her that I like being sad sometimes. And not being able to explain makes me even sadder but not in a good way.
Same.
yeah I get that. I will sometimes just sit and think of terrible things but I don't want to move. I have no other way to describe it than simply content. I am contempt with everything. I know how I feel and even though it isn't a good feeling, its ok.
twenty one pilots is the only band I’ve ever bought every album for legally
Me too, wish I could buy regional at best also
So you stole the other music? Not cool. Support the artists you listen to by legally buying their art
TokyoBlue some people don’t have enough money to. This person loved TØP enough to actually spend their money on them, when they probably needed that money for something else. Not everybody is loaded lol
"Because it's sad and I like being sad" probably the only person I can relate to.
Widowsucks same fren
Widowsucks I relate to your username
Yep me too
His soul is made of gold.
So is his mom's house
Yeah his soul is a House of Gold
Okay basically everyone says Tyler was forced to talk about this and he doesn't want to. But what if he does want to explain it, even though it's hard for him? I mean he is a grown up man, I believe he wouldn't do anything that he doesn't want to/can't do at all. I don't have any facts about how Tyler feels with this but I doubt anyone else has either, I don't know.
+DevilxPanther okay, he's a grown up man, but exactly in this video (well, in part 1, to be honest) he raises these questions: "why can't i do what i want to do? and why do i always do what i don't want to do?"
so basically he's saying he always ends up being forced to do things he doesn't want to do, maybe this commentary being a perfect example.
just my own view though
he does what he wants he's punk rock
he does what he wants he's punk rock
+Maluska T. Burton why can't I be the best brother in the world? Why do I always do the opposite of that instead? That's what he means. Sometimes he knows he does the opposite of what he wants to do and the real question is, why can't I do what I want?
Manuel Maleitas blurryface
Everything Tyler said I can relate to, how he likes to be sad and the way he spoke about each and every song like as if it had the deepest meaning in the world, which to me they do. Tyler thought so carefully and spoke so honestly about each song, he went into so much depth and the way he said it you could just tell he has experienced a lot of bad things, he mentions a little about it in interviews but you hear his pain, you hear what he's been through when you listen to the music. He doesn't hold back, he never holds back. You feel the music in a way you feel the void inside you but with Twenty One Pilots music they take that void out and it fills you with something, worhthiness. You could even tell by the look in Tyler's eyes how much these songs mean to him, how much the message he wants to spread means to him, how much we mean to him. It doesn't matter that he doesn't know I exist, I don't need to tell him how hard life is because he gets it. I never thought I would be able to explain my thoughts but Twenty One Pilots manage to put my thoughts, even my darkest thoughts into music. I love how I can lay there and listen to the music because it doesn't feel like music, or art it feels like more. When songs (in Twenty One Pilots case, all their songs) become your thoughts spilled into music so honestly and painfully that's when you feel a deep emotional attachment. Those songs know you, they know your thoughts, they feel your pain, lonliness and sturggles with life and that's what I love about this band. They're my solace, I grip onto them with my life. I didn't think life had a purpose, I felt trapped and still do feel lonely and no one understands me but Tyler does, it makes my life feel more worthy. I am so grateful for that, I love how he explained about death being inevitable, I talk about death and get told it isn't normal, death is natural I feel like it should be discussed more. I only fear the people I care about dying, and how ill die and I hope there's something after death. I am thankful for Tyler he deserves the best.
I thank you deeply for writing this. Today's been one of those days when life is worth absolutely nothing and when it seems to there be nothing that can create the slightliest feeling of being alive. Seeing Tyler speak so beautifully about his feelings and experiences, how he tries to put it into his music, and then seeing you speak the things I didn't have the strength to put together, it was priceless. Once again, thank you very much for this. Forgive me for the language mistakes that I probably made.
+Miguel Ângelo Dias it's okay, I hope you're okay too? I feel like that too, life has been so painful for me I've just given up hope and lost all strength in everything. that darkness just consumes my mind more each day. But you are strong and you can get through what it is you are going through. It will get easier, I may not believe it when people tell me those words, but please it believe it from me. You will be okay, I hope it gets better for you. You deserve to feel like life has meaning. :)
+ParxdiseHarry I've been a TØP fan for only a few months, but I can say that my life has changed in this period in a way I could never had imagined. I always found irritatingly cliche to say "this band changed my life", but I realised how deep and true this sentence could be. I felt understood as a human being when I saw someone put most of my insecurities, uncertainties and fears into his music, into the main way the world will know him from, and how he really want to get this message across any barrier, so people can hear that they are not alone in all this trouble, that there's other people that suffer with the same questions. It has given me a lot of hope in myself, even when it seems to be stupid as I think I'm completely worthless.
"Migraine" is probably one of the songs that speak to me the most. I really like the verse "Life has a hopeful undertone". It's hard to believe when you have strong self trust issues, but I try to keep that in mind once in a while.
+ParxdiseHarry Thank you very much for taking some time to answer this extremely annoying stranger.
I love this sense of care that we TØP fans have. I really hope that your matters will get better soon. We're all lost in this crazy world, but we're lost together in the same boat. Maybe we can find some interesting places while we search for our destination. :) You seem to be a really nice person, it was nice exchanging these words with you. Let's all stay alive. |-/
+Miguel Ângelo Dias +ParxdiseHarry
So, I'm mainly replying to this in regards to the statement Tyler made about how he enjoys being sad, he likes being sad. I find deeper meaning in that statement and I wanted to share- although before I do, as many of my statements in my past have sounded off, I'd like to apologize if I offend either of you in anyway. It isn't my intention, I'm just sharing my emotions towards a topic I care about. |-/
Tyler states in the Video above that he likes to be sad. Now, as I said above, I find a deep meaning in this statement. Now, in terms of sadness bringing enjoyment or likeness- I find myself at a stalemate with the statement. Sadness and Depression I find CAN be similar but can be two very different things. Obviously to be depressed, you'd have to have been sad before. Now, being depressed can bring a multitude of emotions, I find that a few can relate to an Uncontrollable Psychological Hysteria or a Mentally Broken Down Thought Process. These aren't terms that are Doctored out by anyone either, this is how I represent these emotions to myself.
Now, I can honestly agree in terms of enjoying sadness, sometimes. I will openly admit I enjoy sitting on a bench, seat or looking out a window with headphones and getting into deep thought. Its how I write stories and create graphics. Its how I edit videos. Mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean that this 'sadness' I'm feeling is on the verge of becoming depression, as it simply isn't that type of sadness. When it comes to this; I represent it exactly as Tyler stated it-
Taking this dry emotion, this distraught mess of a feeling and pointing it towards something, it doesn't necessarily have to be more positive- however it still points in a better direction then it would if I didn't try. An example of this kind of change would be my writing. When I am 'thinking', I tend to take emotions and enjoy utilizing them in characters or settings. Sometimes it can be positive and sometimes it can be negative. Sometimes its even balanced, but the point is I've pointed it from the back of my mind where it can fester towards somewhere else in my mind.
Similarly to how Tyler has explained he writes. He has taken the experiences he has known for his entire life and utilized them to make others realize that the loneliness that often brings sadness or depression isn't necessarily so lonely. We have a family in this Clique. People who WILL talk to us, people who WILL befriend us. Similarly to how you Miguel and Harry have created a positive and insightful conversation through the explanations of sadness and twenty one pilots as a whole.
We are a combinations of people who have all experienced similarities in perspective, sadness, depression and loneliness. We have things to discuss- this is because of Tyler and Josh. As off putting as it may sound, they created something with light. They created something that allowed others to see in a sea of fire and dark black smoke. Even though sometimes we all slip back into it, even if we feel like we are still stuck there. We all have a reason, a purpose. For ourselves. Within ourselves. The world has beauty inside of itself, and our bodies can help create this beauty. It takes time, and time is a man made concept of which is a cause for depression, and its usually very individual.. however that doesn't disdain from the idea that we, the Clique can be here for each other. That you have purpose- and there is no reason in the world, the mind, the soul. No reason at all that you wouldn't have purpose. I can't stress it enough here, but-
Stay Alive. Clear your smoke and see what you find. Stay Alive. |-/
6:44 "It's worth it to just keep going. And it sounds really cliché and kinda, I don't know..."
nothing fucks me up more than the commentary for trees
it's so sad I can never listen to it without picturing it
I love the trees commentary because it's exactly what it means to me
Same!
I understood that to be the meaning of the song and it always brings me to tears. At the same time, though, I always picture the happy ending, where you finally get the answer. ^_^
olimpia s I felt like he just spoke into my soul, I never knew anyone else who goes into the trees at night, looking for something, anything. Fuck.
he seems so sad in this. I just wanna sit and talk with him and give him a big hug :(
Omg same
I don't think he's sad. He's explaining and giving emotion without any expression.
mimi vo SAME
I love the twenty one pilots fanbase. Everyone is so kind and respectful of other people's opinions where as in different fanbases, people can be really nasty.
I agree! I remember watching a video at a FOB concert, and this woman tried to get out (she was in a wheelchair) and a bunch of people were cursing her out and saying "why did you come?" I believe it was MONUMENTOUR, not saying the FOB fanbase is bad (I am a very dedicated member xD) but you know- some people can be really rude :P
My god what a run on sentence
these videos make me really sad bc you can tell that tyler is trying not to talk about the lyrics and how much they mean and you can literally see the pain in his eyes especially when he talks about gun for hands it seems like he's trying to brush it off but it's just so important and meaningful and i'm really sad
i feel guilty watching this knowing he was hurting
Yea u can see it in him and hear it in his voice
it's so true what he said about how being sad makes life bareable. i have lost count of the nights where i have cried myself to sleep or listened to music staring out the window at 3 am. he is so impowering, god i love him so much.
exactly same
What he says about negative thoughts is so wise and beautiful he's honestly a genius
They said that being happy does actually make you feel happy.
They lied.
I'm happy when i'm sad because, when i'm sad I start to think. Just sitting and pretending that this world is fucked up. That makes me happy because it's the truth.
I could pretend that i'm happy. But i'm not a liar.
What if being sad makes me happy?
Just let me be sad.
Just let me think.
Just let me stand in the rain pretending that everything is ment to be that way.
Just let me be me.
Just let me be the sad girl.
Just let me do what I wanna do.
Cause I like being sad and pretending that everything is ok.
Same
Thats depression babey!
"i wanted to tell them that it's worth it to just keep going" this made me break down. he means so fucking much to me
He means the world to me oh my god
Tyler is going to be a great parent
he really is...and if his kid ever goes through something "complicated" then they can get the best advice ever from their father.
he could comfort his kids so much-
Now he is gonna be one :)
this made me cry bc he’s actually having a girl
Jenna is pregnant
"the last song on the track is a song called truce-- shoot." amazing
tyjo talking about truce made me so emotional
I could listen to him talk forever. Please, continue.
I Like How He Said "I Love Starting Things In Minor Because It's Sad
&I Like To Be Sad
...I Don't Know
It Just Makes...Makes Life More Bearable Sometimes
I Like Being Sad
I Mean I Like Putting Headphones In &Looking Out The Window
&Pretending Like Im A Sad Little Main Character Of Some Movie"
...Yeah, I Like Doing That Too
I Like How He's Just So Weird/Awkward/...Different
I Would Really Like To Meet Him &Not Just Because He's Famous But Because I Would Really Like To Get To Know Him As A Person
Idk
I Just Like Tyler &Josh
/_.
Ulysses Lopez He so rateable too, Honestly I feel the same way as him & everything he says I can either relate to or is something I do too, it's so weird but it's nice.
That part where he likes to be sad.. I totally get him. I honestly thought I was weird for liking to be sad but it's so nice to know I can relate to him
When he says his life isn't important I completely disagree because he's saved so many people and without him they wouldn't be here. Everyone's life matters. Stay alive |-/
Exactly. Truce literally saved my life
I feel like he means that someday he will be forgotten. He's not Fredy Mercury, of course he will be remembered but he's knows he's not a legend. I feel like none of our existences are actually important since we're all just a clone of each other now. But I agree with what you said too, important or not he will die and he will leave a dent in this world.
Sam D everyone's life matters yes. But tyler has let go of what he can do with his life for himself. That's why he says it doesn't matter. He lives his life to be an encouragement to those struggling. Because he himself has struggled. That's what he lives for. It's amazing
I think its beautiful that tyler is generally opposed to putting additional meaning on his lyrics. I remember in 9th grade English class we were interpreting poems. Me and my classmates would raise our hands and said what we thought Edgar Allen Poe or whoever meant by the colors of doors in their poem. We were all told we were wrong. Unfortunately the school system underestimates the power of an individuals personal interpretation of stuff.
Thank you. I am always bothered by interpreting different forms of art in school and being told what we thought was wrong. Art is not right or wrong, art is art, and art is for the people and for happiness.
it makes me sad that this video has so little views
i feel that everyone should hear this, not only for the album explanation
but for life
People stopped watching this after the first one because they felt that by watching this, they would be disrespecting Tyler. It looked like Tyler didn't want to talk about this and he was forced to. It's making me sad watching this too. He already spoke the words he wanted to say in the songs, and he didn't want to go into the whole song meanings because the songs mean a lot to him..
+mikeyisnotinteresting bs tyler is not going to say something he doesn't want us to hear. period. have a little faith
+Landry Mayo exactly what I was thinking. preach
dont think so. the value of rare is great. with rare you can have conversation with the artist. like only a small group. too many people make the fanbase complex and the artist had to stay more anonymous
Looking out a window and listening to Goner or Kitchen sink or Car radio is what I do. When I'm sad or bothered or worried I seem to listen to more sad music that some how makes me feel better. I'm not an unhappy person barely anything bad has happened to me but when he says "Stay alive it's worth it. I promise." I feel like I should take his advice to heart just because he said it. When he says something it must be important.
whenever I'm sad I listen to songs of either vessel or No phun intended and look out my window and just cry. People have called me crazy but it helps me!
he really does such a great job at making people feel less alone. he helps me realize that we are all connected in some way whether its the fondness of being sad. sadness is a safe place. or anxiety. we're all connected in some way through his voice, through the lyrics that come from a personal place in his head. no matter where we are in this world we are connected.
I wish so bad that I could just sit down with Tyler and Josh and thank them for how their music has changed me, it's inspired me to enjoy music more, to use the talents I've been given and to develop them further and to push to be the best musician I can be, without them I don't know what I would be doing but I probably would have just given up on music entirely
It's pains me how he tries to skip over that fact most of the songs he writes are either about suicide or depression. I've always wanted him to be happy, but I still feel like he's unsatisfied with his life.
Twenty Øne He kind of reminds me of kurt cobain. in a way I guess
Tyjo R Hoeseph hi I am a new fan and I have got questions What has been going on in Tyler's head about Depression, Suicide? There is evidence in his songs yes I know but please someone explain me what actually happened to him from the start until now please someone explain me
Vault Boy it's crazy that you said that. Tyler has always reminded me of Kurt cobain. Just the way they talk and carry themselves, and the issues they touch on in their lyrics. I've never said anything bc I thought I was the only one.
Vault Boy i see that too, and both are/were incredible beautiful and so intelligent human beings.
The Kurt Cobain reference was something I was thinking of, just yesterday. After listening to Goner, I switched over to Nirvana's Unplugged. When you hear Cobain's commentary, in between the songs, so much of it reminds of the way Tyler sounds in this interview.
I mean, there are stark differences between Kurt Cobain and Tyler Joseph, their faith being a major one. I also think that Tyler has determined that there is still something fundamentally good about the world, as broken as it is, it is still worth fixing. I feel like Cobain lost sight of that. It could have been the drugs, his relationships, his discomfort with fame, but something caused him to lose sight. I think when Cobain went into the Trees and called out he heard nothing and that nothing crushed him.
I don't think Joseph will end up like Cobain, not at all, but I think they had very similar thoughts. It just goes to show you that it's not the thoughts... it's what you do with those thoughts.
I know a lot of people say TOP has saved them from suicide but I feel like they've saved me in a different way. I have this inner darkness but instead of fighting it I embrace it. I use my rage for power. I feel like these are song where I can just slip away into another dark mind and I can understand myself better. Although it's metaphorical they have saved me. From me
Same
yes
this is exactly how i feel
Im so glad im not the only one waging my wars behind my face and above my throat.
Laina Bungard you aren't
If u relate to him. You relate to me.
"If you're one of them, then you're one of me."
+Rachel K. We all would do anything just to feel free.
Because our brains are sick but that's ok.
"I do some weird stuff when I'm alone. I wouldn't tell you half of it."
THE WAY HE SAID THAT! MY HEART!
I love the way he talks and expresses himself. It's beautiful
I think Tyler has to be the most inspiring person ever. He always has a true reason for what he does. He digs so deep into importance of everything. We need more people like him who aren't afraid to say what they mean, and mean what they say. God bless him. He's my hero.
I have a very unhealthy obsession with music, but probably even more unhealthy is my obsession with singers. In absolutely no way am I saying other members are less important. Never ever would that be true. But singers are captivating people. There's just something about them that draws me in. They're the masterminds behind the lyrics, they're the ones who carry the audience through their emotions while performing and they have things to say. If they didn't they wouldn't be singers in the first place. And Tyler is one of those captivating people that I can't learn enough about. I've seen Twenty One Pilots live once, and it was incredible. Seeing him perform the songs after only hearing them through my headphones is just amazing. And I'm happy to say I shall be seeing them again in April and I'm positive it'll be an entirely new experience because of this man. He's one of the most complex thinkers I've seen. (Okay long comment over).
i totally get what you're saying, but sometimes the deepest lyrics aren't written by the singers. take fall out boy for example. patrick sings all of the emotional stuff but most of it is written by pete.
Jasmine M True, but Patrick Stump has some great solo work though so I know he has it in him to write great songs as well. (I don't know Fall Out Boy all that well though to be honest). Now that I think about it there's also Queen, "You're My Best Friend" was written by their bassist for his wife but asked Freddie to sing it. I guess I shouldn't have collectively stated that they all specifically write the lyrics. It's just the singers I had in mind when writing that comment do. Like Billie Joe Armstrong, Tom DeLonge, Tyler obviously haha and some others.
Listen to Alter Bridge-In loving memory, the lead guitarist mark tremonti wrote a song for his mom. If you're into lyrics...this band is very respectable and has meaning to every single song. Watching over you, blackbird, shed my skin, one by one, and I know it hurts.
I'm so glad I found twenty one pilots I really think it was meant. For example when stressed out became 'famous' or whatever you call it I honestly don't like that word but some people liked the song so they wanted to listen to more of their music and I think it was meant for the people who stick around to found them because we need it. I had a really hard time figuring out stuff you know all the struggles teenagers go trough and I was listening to self titled for the first time and the words helped me so much I can't even explain, the second verse in isle of flightless birds was like I asked the question that had been running through my head and then it hit me. I don't really know what it was but I it was like I was stuck. I tried to open the door by myself but it didn't work. When I heard those songs it gave me what I needed to open the door and I started thinking a lot different than I had before and it inspired me.
I started to express my thoughts through stories on word and this probably doesn't make any sense but I'm so so thankful I found tøp
I found TØP the same way. I heard stressed out and ride and those were the only songs I listened to for a while. But then I felt like I needed to go deeper into there music and I'm glad I did because without them I don't even know what would be going on with me.
*Their music*
they helped me through so much I honestly wish I could thank them in person, I relate to ur comment sm fren
I'm watching this really late at night. I'm always more emotional at night and so when Tyler was talking about how Truce is a dedication to us, I completely lost it. I don't even know how to comprehend how thankful I am for finding this band and being apart of the clique. It's such a wonderful circle. I can hear the realness in his words when he says thank you and I, along with many of you, are so thankful in return. We really do appreciate each other and that is what has helped me cope. I love this band. |-/
The way he says 'start over' and looks up makes me feel so sad like idk. He just looks so disappointed and sad and ughalsjdaksbsks
his explanation for guns for hands and truce really comfort me. because he's being so blatantly honest about real issues that aren't talked about enough. it comforts me to know he's getting out such a positive message. i love this man.
I love how he adresses the fact that he 'likes' being sad. I feel like this is a good representation of depression (not at all saying that it is enjoyable) but from my own experience, I will say that sometimes it almost hurts to be happy. and it's just easier to feel that emptiness and sadness that you're used to.
he looked so fucking sick of himself. so fucking mad at himself for getting something wrong just by simply calling truce truth. it honestly made me feel so heart broken because he's obviously just so emotional at the time this was being filmed and just ugh
"my life isn't really that important" Damn it that hurt me.
In case anyone wants to listen to Vessel song-by-song with the commentary (which, for the record, is pretty interesting), here's time codes for when he talks about individual tracks and the album as a whole.
0:00 Guns For Hands
2:21 Trees
5:22 Truce
7:14 Vessel
thank you :)
there's actually an album on spotify where he does commentary for each song too!!! it's all in a playlist too with the songs if that's any easier :-) open.spotify.com/user/twentyonepilots/playlist/1Fe0hfPWRrQcrGvzCRFTDz |-/
One of the main reasons fueled by Raman made them drop regional at best was because of the religious tones. And you can tell they are breathing down his neck in this interview, It looks like Tyler wanted to say the thing he was seeking in “trees” was God, and even when he was talking about his body being a vessel of whatever’s inside... like his soul, and I could see the frustration in his face of wanting to talk about that but having a big record label watching him like a hawk.
I like being sad. I like putting headphones in and looking out the window and pretending like I'm a sad little main character of some movie.
I want to hug this man. And listen to his thoughts. He is so intelligent, even if he dropped out of college, his knowledge is so much more than scholarly.
I love how blunt he is about liking being sad.
i actually don't know how he understands everything so much and puts it into words so perfectly
I see a lot of people saying that it makes them angry or it hurts them to see Tyler in pain talking about issues that he has dealt with personally, and I get that. But to me, this video and the part 1 of this video are probably the most important and insightful videos I have ever seen about Tyler. It gives such depth into his mind, into his thinking. He is a bright guy, a smart guy. I have never in my life seen someone connect with others so effectively on such an emotional level. The fact that he is alone talking to a camera(or a person behind the camera) just makes it so authentic and real. A lot of the commentary gave more depth to the songs and I am glad I watched both of the videos. Stay alive, guys. I-/
you can tell how hard it is for him to share his meaning of the songs because it's a personal thing
his voice is everything
his voice is so calming and it makes me feel so safe. i couldn’t thank him enough for everything.
Such an incredible human being. Thank you Tyler.
"Being sad makes life bearable." That statements is 110% true. Just think, if we weren't ever sad we would all be completely insane because of how happy we were. For example, you don't want to watch a movie where everyone is happy cause then it'll be boring, but if you have at least one sad character in that movie, it brings a weird exciting light to the movie. So if we were never sad, we all be completely crazy. Idk if that made any sense at all.
When he messed up saying the part about truce he looked so mad and I just wanted to give him a hug him he just looks so sad
He has such a beautiful mind I just want to be in his mind for like a day
It would probably be scarier than you think. He deals with a lot of heavy stuff, but I totally understand what you're saying.
"My life isn't that important." A lot of people including me think that but if you died, we'd all die whether it's physically or mentally. I don't know what I'd do without you and Josh or what I'd do if I hadn't discovered your music and met all of my amazing clique friends.
I couldn't ever watch this because of how much pain it sounds like he's in, but I finally watched it. and I needed this so much
I like sad music because it makes me think. Many people don't like to think, but I refuse to be afraid of my thoughts. I face the sadness. I love deep convicting lyrics. It makes me feel something.
Oh my I feel the exact same way. People are living so simply by never facing their thoughts, fears or problems... They just live life the easiest way they can and judge anyone that thinks "too much"... Music like TOP's helps me think and feel emotions. Like real emotions. Sadness is a really strong one and I like to feel it. I don't know.
"sad little main character of some movie"
OMG AHAHAH SAME
After hearing Tyler i feel like I'm no longer alone. My perspective in things, in life, in this world, about other people, about myself even is basically everything Tyler has said. No wonder I was drawn so quickly to his music. The minor chords because I love sad songs because I'm a sad person. Im just so grateful to know there's someone like Tyler who see things exactly how i see things.
your life is important Tyler.
when he started talking about truce, i broke down crying. He is the best person in the world, and i get to see them in July.
+Sarah Arndt me too love. what concert are you going to?
+Brittany Richards The one in Milwaukee on July 30th, wby?
oh cool! I'm going to the one on July 16th in Salt Lake City :)
july 24 san diego!!
I get to see him in June. That will be the day I dump all of my emotion out.
Watched a whole lot of twenty one pilots interviews last night. When I finally fell asleep, I dreamt that a plane crashed next to my house.
You should write a song about it. Tyler would. lol :P
And were there 21 pilots in it? xD
was it one of the dead pilots?
You were Donnie Darko's neighbour.
one of the reasons why vessel is my favorite album. this video. him explaining why he named it vessel
I'm glad he added Truce onto the album, it's such a beautiful song
I really admire Tyler for writing songs to encourage his fans who go through depression to continue despite him going through it himself.
he's so dismal the whole time and it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful, you can feel his passion. Each song means so much to him as well as the album as a whole and you can tell that in discussing each song it brings him back to a time where he needed to write that song to feel relief. this man is more genuine and wise then anyone in the music industry and probably anyone in the 21st century. i don't know where i would be right now without tøp. no one will ever now the complete severity or depth of Tyler's pain, but it's nice to know there's someone out their expressing how i feel in the slightest way
The world is in depression... People like him are beacons of light
Listening to Tyler makes me feel like I'm not alone, which is something I can't get anywhere else
i don't think Tyler has it all figured out... he's clearly frustrated with many of his thoughts and the workings of the world. i think more than anything he just wants to get across that it's okay to not know, as long as you keep going and trying to figure it out, and know that youre not alone.
people see themselves very differently from how others see them, and Tyler is a perfect example of that. no matter how much success, money, fame he has.. he's still just trying to figure it all out.
i'm so thankful for what he's done. it makes it easier knowing something so beautiful came from whatever it is that he's gone through, and being able to relate so strongly to it.
I felt that. Good God, can you imagine a world without Tyler Joseph? I feel like I just witnessed the most REAL & GENUINE soul around.
seeing these comments and how people can relate so much make me happy and sad, happy because we all feel alone, when we're really not. but sad because we feel the way we do because certain situations in our lives. tyler talking about these things made me cry, it made me think about how much he went through emotionally. stay alive.
Vessel. I hear your message and I appreciated every word Tyler. I'm so thankful for the chance to have heard all your album's, words, and some interviews. thank you josh and Tyler for pushing through and making twenty one pilots happen. I should say great job because I don't feel thank you is quite the right term. ❤
what i aprecciate the most is that you can see he is struggling doing this but he still does it. i don't know if he is doing it because he thinks he might help someone but either way i am so grateful
10 years have passed, and we still keep coming back to this... I'm crying
i am actually crying. words cannot describe how much this man means to me, and how important his message is to me personally. and it pains me to see him in pain. idk this just makes me feel really really sad, but better at the same time.
I was drawing instead of doing something else a lot worse and was listening to the guns for hands part and it made me just stop and sit there with my head down because I feel so, alone. It made me cry and that's saying something.
|-/
|-/
I had tears in my eyes this whole video like I can't even describe what his words do
i get you
I was doing a puzzle and I heard the guns for hands part and I just stopped and started crying.
I feel like I know him a lot better. Most days I act melancholy and think a lot about why the world works, he just expresses it lyrically and ties it in a nice bow so it's easier to hear and relate to. He treats us like a friend, there a literally billions of us listening to Josh and Tyler who trying their best to give us a message of hope through music, seeing as its hard to give that message individually. I appreciate that they still care.
Sometimes I just feel like I need a hug from Tyler and I imagine it being like holding one of the most important people that have made a positive impact. Everyday I wonder why I'm still alive, nobody cares if I live or died, but Tyler seems to care and that's enough for me to keep hanging on
tyler really makes me feel like im not alone. he is the only person i have ever felt like i could relate to. he is the only person i feel like i can sit down and talk with about life and such. he is honestly the most important person to me. this album has really helped me because all my life ive always felt like i was so out there. i always felt like i was so different from everyone else and ive always felt like i was crazy and alone and worthless but you know what? once i found this band, once i listened to this music, once i listened to tyler talk like this, i finally, for once in my life, finally felt like i wasn't alone. i felt like i finally have someone who knows literally exactly what im going through and that's all ive ever wanted. if it wasn't for this guy right here, i don't know what i would do. i stay alive everyday and pull through any negative things in my life because of tyler. he's my reason. my purpose. my everything. i thank god everyday that i found this band. thank you for everything |-/
"I don't want to be heard, I want to be listened to..."
I really want to know all the crazy stuff he does when he is alone, just to see how much i do or don't relate to him. I just love hearing him talk because he thinks way beyond the average person and I wish i had those capabilities. On a smaller scale, I do believe I think beyond but I could just listen to him talk about deep shit for hours. Also does anyone know if he has ADHD because I feel like he acts that way
I agree, I think he has ADHD, first of all he wants attention, I could say because he have got a lot of AWESOME, INSPIRING,(EVERYTHING) messages to say to the world. ( he's worth paid an attention to) , and my teacher once said those twitches are also signs. I wish I know him.
regardless to Grace's message:
I really love Twenty one pilots. the messages are so lovely meaningful, so inspiring, encouraging, it contains every positive thing in the world. The music it's so harmonious, the best.. Stay Alive Everyone.
He doesn't have ADHD. I've got ADHD and I know it kinda effects everyone slightly different but he capable of doing things that not in a million years I could do. The one thing that convinces me is that he carries on an explanation thoroughly without constant or overly long pauses. He's also got an incredibly good memory and sense of organization which is not usual for people with ADD or ADHD. If you take a look a Brendon Urie, oh that boy's got some ADHD.
Katie Kearns yeah I got ADHD and also yeah Brendon has talked about it a lot and I love him, but I'm still not sure about Tyler but the long speeches without hesitation isn't necesarially true I have seen him stop and also if you are passionate about what you're talking about (well at least for me) I can talk about it without blanking usually. I think that's the same for Tyler because all the stuff he writes about means a lot to him
Grace l-/ that's super true. It effects us all differently.
I just love how genuine Tyler is like there's not many artists who discuss such personal and real and relatable topics with such passion. Like there r other artists who say that that do this too but he's different and stands out among all artists. He's so honest and so real and I just can't explain how much I love that
Trees has always been my favorite song by them. Today, I went to the forest and at the time I didn't realize that I too was looking for something. Now, I'm watching this and it's like, "Yes, this is what I feel when I go out by myself!" To have someone put this into words and music helps so much with what I, and so many other people, struggle with.
