Fun fact, the song actually has a good message. He tries to spread the message of don't make the mistake he did. He is telling depressed people that they need to think. Because when someone stole his radio. He was in silence and he expresses that it was the worst thing to not think
His car radio was actually stolen. He wasn't in the financial position to immediately replace it so he had to spend a while driving in silence. It opened the door for him to address the deeper issues too though. So it has both a literal and metaphorical meaning.
You’re right, we are a crazy devoted fan base because these guys work their tails off for their fans. If you ever get to go to a show, don’t turn it down! Make it happen. I went to the first show not expecting much and I was blown away! These guys are just so genuine. I don’t know what all you’ve heard but I recommend Ode to Sleep first, then some songs like Lane Boy, Heathens, Migraine, Holding On To You, and Trees (Live at fox theater). I’m here for them all!
that’s a really interesting take. cool. when you struggle with ptsd and severe mental illnesses, it is simply not possible to quiet your mind. that’s how people avoid their problems. when that method of avoidance (the car radio) is taken away then you’re forced to sit with those thoughts and it’s incredibly maddening and painful until you actually accept and heal.
@ 6:20 Yes actually, somebody literally took his car radio and he wrote a song about it. But that of course isn't what the song is about; it's about how we use distractions to avoid confronting our own thoughts and the uncomfortable aspects of life. That's what he was forced to confront when he had nothing to listen to in his car.
Someone literally stole his car radio in college and he couldn't afford to replace it at the time. I've been in that situation but we live in a time when I could chuck it on my phone and a speaker but back then that wasn't an option that still would have been to expensive at the time. So he was forced to sit in silence whenever he drove. He's think about his dreams and what they meant and overthink it he'd think things like why are we, he'd think about how he hates his car he thinks about a lot of things that he'd never think about normally because he'd block it out with music. You can look deeper into it but I think the song is 100x better when you take it for what it literally is
Hey Deonte! great reaction! I love how you relate the car radio to a heart. The singer /lyricist Tyler uses metaphors a lot. Cars are often used as a symbol for his life, so the radio being a heart is right in line! And the razor too. I think that was subbed in because razor blades would be too much, but that is definitely where they were going with that. I never heard a youtube reactor make that connection. I'll check out your other reactions now.
Great, hope you'll continue) Recommendation list : 1st lane : Vessel album - Ode to sleep (music video) - Car radio (music video) + - holding on to you (music video - cuz it's first big video work from TOP) - guns for hands (music video) - migraine (mus vid or the live room) - trees (live from fox theatre - song with one of the biggest meaning for Ty , he wrote it a looong time ago in high school ) 2nd line : blurryface album - stressed out ( huge song that made them so popular right now ) + - lane boy (mus video) - ride (live from Fox theater ) - hometown - tear in my heart (mus vid) - the judge - fairy local (mus vid) - massage man - goner (live from fox theatre , ending of the album ) - Heavydirtysoul ( mus video - this one is connection to the next album ) 3rd line : Trench album - jumpsuit ( mus vid , connected to hvdrtsl ) - nico and the niners (next one in saga ) - levitate ( next one in saga ) - the hype (both, album and Berlin versions ) - chlorine (mus vid) - my blood (music video) - cut my lip - pet cheetah - morph (a bit of connection to storyline) - Heathens ( spin off , not from album but have a lot small connections to story) - neon gravestones - bandito (big connection in storyline) - leave the city ( ending of era ) 4th line (extra) - TOP x Mutemath session - stripped down steoryteller session by Tyler - kitchen sink - Forest (live Newport music hall ) - fall away (feat dr.

just stumbled over your vid and I gotta say: I have NEVER heard anyone come with the "radios are the hearts, the sources of energy" of a car. So dang spot on if you ask me. And yeah: there's way more to the lyrics than physical car radios. Good stuff, bro! Subbing!
Car radio isnt about a girl but its about his audience. His fans. When he performs at a show, hes filled with joy and happiness. At a concert, the fans are the life of the show. The fans are his happiness. His concerts are celebrations and reassurance that hes not alone when he feels a certain way and they all come under one roof and sing about it, that theyre not alone in going through what theyre going through. Which is why at the end when the audience is gone, he goes back to his depressed state. He feels empty, like that empty feeling you get when theres no music in your car.
Clicked for Twenty One Pilots, love your DBZ poster, love hearing you experience art in music form. First video but already a fan of you. Be well and do you bro!
I love you, too - replace the battery on the smoke-detector. 🍑 Subscribed and Liked. Your analysis was touching. It shifted my perspective on the subject matter. Thank you!!! 🤘 🤘 🤘
Thank you for reacting to twenty one pilots! Yes! They have a very strong ond big fanbase - the sceleton clique (think that is spelled correct) - and I truly believe it is by the simple fact that Tyler and Josh are able to stay true to themselves. Not letting the industries corrupt or manipulate them into becoming something they're not. Even though Tyler has said several times that he struggles between what he wants and what is popping on the radio or top lists. I think that is so admirable. Love a quote where he says something like he only makes music he would like to listen to himself. Thanks again! Love from Norway!
"Ode to Sleep"( official video), "Migraine"Captured Live in Room ( better than official video) and "Guns for Hands" (official video if possible) Good reaction/interpretation from you!
When I first heard this song, for me, I saw the car radio as my childhood. My innocents, when I had no worries, when I didn't constantly think of bad thoughts, when I was just enjoying the ride. I saw the person who stole the car radio as myself growing up. Myself maturing and having to let go of my childhood. Of course now whenever I hear the song I have that nagging thought saying that he actually lost his radio 😂 however I think that the fact makes the song better. If I heard this song and didn't know better, every time I hear this song I would think back in my past, and grive for it. However, the fact puts a funny twist on the song and eveytime I hear this song and my mind goes to a serious and dark place, it ends up returning to this fact. This fact puts a smile to my face and remove me from my thoughts and memories.
Good job! I have heard the interpretation of loving someone he loves, like in a break-up, before. A lot of people think it is more that he is suffering with his thoughts because there is no distraction, which I think you also mentioned. But there is no wrong answer. I still get the chills with the huge mood and tempo change. As for what is next... I agree with all the other comments. Lane Boy (or Lane, Boy- however you choose to punctuate it) is a good one. Ode to Sleep is, like they've said, a little background. Guns for Hands is just amazing- more with the masks. Heavydirtysoul, Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners and Levitate are amazing, but do the older stuff first. There's kind of a theme and kind of a progression to the music. We will have to explain Blurryface first and the black marks on his hands and throat. Then with Trench (which contains the trilogy), there is Dema and the Bishops and Nico. So start with older stuff. We will get to the newer stuff if you want to go through it all.
great reaction !! please keep going with these guys .... please check out lane boy .. heavy dirty soul ... ride ... ode to sleep ... chlorice .. and my blood. keep up the great work and much love.
I take the song litterally People usually distract themselves with music, including their thoughts So now that he's music is gone, his thoughts are free to run around without the distraction For someone that's depressed thats not the best thing to happen, thoughts about suicide, self harm could take place without the distraction of the music. For someone that doesn't, it could lead to controversial thinking or like weird shower thoughts like "Faith is to be awake, And to be awake is for us to think, And for us to think is to be alive" just the chain So i get why some people analyze it like its a poem taking everything like a metaphor but at the same time i dont get it, every thing he says could be taken litterally...
Dude your reactions are amazing please do Lane boy next. I'm literally getting excited watching this video because your reactions are pretty much the same as mine when I first watched it.
Get used to saying "That song was deep but also super fire and sonically pleasing". Somehow they have this lit, pleasing to the masses music that happens to be super complex lyrically with no literal interpretation. I started with them cause of my 10yr old daughter and one day just happened to catch some lyrics and 🤯🤯🤯
His car radio really was stolen. But the song means whatever it means to you. And I am sure there are about 10 layers of meaning. Tyler is a genius writer.
They put on masks to symbolically request the listener to focus on certain lyrics of parts of a song instead of focusing on the identity/persona of the members of the band
ode to replacing that smoke detector battery
Fun fact, the song actually has a good message. He tries to spread the message of don't make the mistake he did. He is telling depressed people that they need to think. Because when someone stole his radio. He was in silence and he expresses that it was the worst thing to not think
Holy crap! I just realized there's a guy dressed as Waldo in the crowd!
Ode to sleep official video gives a little background of their come up and the song is fire too
What's funny is that Tyler actually wrote this because in college someone stole his car radio lmao.
Bro, the fire detector going off every 30 seconds...change that battery and keep your family safe. Besides that, great video.
Twenty One Pilots = no bad songs. #LaneBoy
Lane Boy is a great one where the crowd is involved as well. Just subbed for the twenty one pilots content btw :)
Just reacted to this too..
Can yall pliz check out my reaction
I took my son to 21 pilots last weekend. I’ve been to countless concerts of all types. 21 pilots was the best show I’ve ever seen.
They have been around for 20 years
So glad you are listening:)

megan shewmake oh wow 😅 looks like I interpreted the song completely wrong then lol. Thanks for explaining 🖤
Tyler writes his songs so they are open to interpretation so there is nothing "wrong".
You’re right, we are a crazy devoted fan base because these guys work their tails off for their fans. If you ever get to go to a show, don’t turn it down! Make it happen.

Angie Hamilton Thank you! I’ll definitely be getting to all of those
I love when someone new discovers this song. It is one of my favorites. I never get tired of seeing the reactions to this video/song.
Especially when you know what’s coming up. I just wait for them to have the same reaction I do every time I hear the song.
Your interpretation is awesome. Tyler writes lyrics we can all relate to
I still get goosebumps at that scream
that’s a really interesting take. cool. when you struggle with ptsd and severe mental illnesses, it is simply not possible to quiet your mind. that’s how people avoid their problems. when that method of avoidance (the car radio) is taken away then you’re forced to sit with those thoughts and it’s incredibly maddening and painful until you actually accept and heal.
Really loving your reactions to these guys! Thanks!

Basically distractions keep you from getting too into your inadequacies and fears
I saw the going back to 2013 or 2014 at the MTV awards doing this song. And that's what got me into them. They are artists. Great group

By far one of my favourite songs is “My Blood” by these guys, though “Neon Gravestones” is another powerful song
just stumbled over your vid and I gotta say: I have NEVER heard anyone come with the "radios are the hearts, the sources of energy" of a car. So dang spot on if you ask me. And yeah: there's way more to the lyrics than physical car radios. Good stuff, bro! Subbing!
@deonteTV do you take requests? Is there a way to support the channel thru that?
Car radio isnt about a girl but its about his audience. His fans. When he performs at a show, hes filled with joy and happiness. At a concert, the fans are the life of the show.

I love that black people are actually getting into different songs like this. And, I love you too! 😂
Very thoughtful review. Video always gives me chills.
Great reaction, bro. Keep it up!
That's what's amazing about them, everyone hears them a little different and they encourage that...
Heavydirtysoul Guns for hands and definitely holding into you. Soooooo many great songs and vids. Enjoy the journey
Can't wait for more reactions to them. You will find every friggin song captivating. My suggestions are Message Man, and Heavy dirty Soul.
Great reaction. Great band. I'm subscribing to see more reactions of twenty one pilots. I recommend ODE TO SLEEP...the official video.

Your analysis was touching. It shifted my perspective on the subject matter. Thank you!!! 🤘 🤘 🤘
This song is actually literal. Someone did steal his car radio, and he made this song.
All of their songs are deep but super catchy
Love the reaction. Someone really did steal is radio though haha keep up the good work!
I've never commented on youtube before, but your review hit home - just like the song did. Subscribed. Keep doing you, Deonte!

Thank you for reacting to twenty one pilots!

Great reaction bro 🔥
Can you react to ode to sleep or guns for hands ?

Well.... someone will say they were there. Let's just put it that way.
I would give my last born child to be at that taping!
8:58 THERES WALDO!
Dudes' arms are greenbean pods 💪
8::51, even Waldo was at that concert.
BACK
He crowdsurfed
I take the song litterally
People usually distract themselves with music, including their thoughts
So now that he's music is gone, his thoughts are free to run around without the distraction
For someone that's depressed thats not the best thing to happen, thoughts about suicide, self harm could take place without the distraction of the music.

Just wanted to say love you
Love you too 💪🏾✊🏾

Dude your reactions are amazing please do Lane boy next. I'm literally getting excited watching this video because your reactions are pretty much the same as mine when I first watched it.
I'm going now ;)
You paused it on Waldo (Where's Waldo?) but didn't see him?! And when he took the mask off his hair was back!
Does anyone remember when you could pause songs so you could get past stuff?
You must do heavy dirty soul live at Fox theater you will also be be blown away rock on 🤘
There’s a ton of metaphors but someone actually stole his radio n shit
Love this song, but please replace your smoke detector battery.
OMG thank you for this. I legitimately just went and checked all of mine because I thought mine were dying
I think I heard: The mask is so fans can focus on the music and not get distracted by his face...I think?
He is Tyler Joseph
This was a real concert......they asked croud to help them.
You're right but I can't stop laughing bc someone really did steal his car radio lol
if you’re interested in seeing more clique participation i highly recommend lane boy
That smoke detector tho
Get used to saying "That song was deep but also super fire and sonically pleasing". Somehow they have this lit, pleasing to the masses music that happens to be super complex lyrically with no literal interpretation. I started with them cause of my 10yr old daughter and one day just happened to catch some lyrics and 🤯🤯🤯
Fix your smoke detector! LOL
Fairly local a great one by them
I have no clue if someone has said this yet, but someone legitimately stole his car radio x
You NEED to react to Neon Gravestones. You get TOP! ❤️

His car radio really was stolen. But the song means whatever it means to you. And I am sure there are about 10 layers of meaning. Tyler is a genius writer.
His car radio was really stolen he was late for college and didn't Lock his car and the radio was stolen
They put on masks to symbolically request the listener to focus on certain lyrics of parts of a song instead of focusing on the identity/persona of the members of the band
Like daft punk 1993-2021
💯
