LYRICS
I know what you think in the morning,
When the sun shines on the ground,
And shows what you have done,
It shows where your mind has gone,
And you swear to your parents,
That it will never happen again,
I know, I know what that means, I know.

That you all have guns,
And you never put the safety on,
And you all have plans,
To take it, don't take it.

I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep,
But I can't, but I can't when you all have,
Guns for hands.

Let's take this a second at a time,
Let's take this one song, this one rhyme,
Together, let's breathe,
Together, to the beat,
But there's hope out the window,
So that's where we'll go,
Let's go outside and all join hands,
But until then you'll never understand.

We've turned our hands to guns, trade in our thumbs for ammunition,
I must forewarn you, of my disorder, or my condition,
'Cause when the sun sets, it upsets what's left of my invested interest,
Interested in putting my fingers to my head,
The solution is, I see a whole room of these mutant kids,
Fused at the wrist, I simply tell them they should shoot at this,
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music, it's,
Obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist.

Twenty One Pilots Fact 1: Tyler shakes his head to keep from crying when singing
Twenty One Pilots Fact 2: If you didn't notice, this song is about Tyler being worried about his fans committing suicide.

[jameshaughney]

Dude, the drummer goes fucking hard on those drums.

It's awesome.

[NaruTheBlackSwan]

You know that Tyler has his soul into a song when he starts doing weird shit.

Never change Tyler, never change.

[mirellamasiero]

"Why are you wearing tape around your heads?"
"Ok so we're creating a story and this will make sense... in 11 years. You see, there's this guy Clancy-"

[i_like_pandas]

Tyler is crazy, cute, and adorable and Josh is just like 'YASSSS DRUMS

But I love them both

[Nina-gnmz]

me: twenty one pilots

[angelaw]

Interviewer: What inspires you to make music?
Josh: ...
Tyler: ...
Josh: Cereal.

[andethernet]

Here after Navigating, the moment where Josh gave Tyler the mask gave me chills. The callback to this moment was beautiful.

[jenamm]

Am I the only Twenty One Pilots fan who isn't depressed and loves life. I love their messages and meanings and I just love all their music

[katierydz]

“i know what you think in the morning..”
the way he sings that makes me realize he truly knows. this man has felt pain.

[sunny.sun]

back in 2016 i was at a breaking point and ended up hospitalized for an attempt. the next morning i discovered this song and it’s like god was speaking directly to me, it still hits me a certain way around this time of year. part of me did die, that self destructive teenager. i’m stronger than ive ever been because of it now i just wish i could go back and give me a hug

[JD-hist]

Tyler: "You can take it off when you're ready"
Josh: *Immediately takes it off as song starts* "That's the thing Tyler, I'm always ready"

[AtomicBlazeblizzard]

Tyler:take it off when your ready. Josh: (goes to drums and takes it off quick

[hannahgillespie]

IS NOBODY GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO ITS SO CUTE JOSH LOOKED SO LONLEY AND TYLERS JUST LIKE 'oh hey I have an extra don't be sad little one'

[lordkl]

To the future generations, never let this song die. So nostalgic

[TwentyPaphonies]

The lyrics of this song are so freaking deep.  Tyler is saying that he stays up at night worrying about his suicidal fans, about the stories that he's heard.  He's screaming for us not to take our lives.  He's proposing that instead, we find our comfort in the music, that we find support in the clique.  And then the rap part tells us that he knows what we're going through.  He tells us that he too has considered suicide.  But he is saying to please take out their anger and their sadness towards him instead of themselves.  Because he can't stand the idea of someone going through what he has gone through.  Stay alive, lovelies.  I-/

[hannahfoltz]

tyler: here are the lyrics that i wrote
man

[EmmaFlorez]

It bothers me how everyone in the comments is just giggling about the video and Tyler & Josh, and no one is taking the song seriously. This is a song about how upset Tyler is when people hurt themselves and how he would rather them do anything else, even point their destruction at him. I was just sitting, crying because I know what this feels like and I don't want it for anyone ever.

[ale]

man this song has saved me from an attempt the other day, after 11 years of singing them in my room, when i was ready to do it, my mom sent me the tickets for the concert. You are really the reasong im pursuing my degree in education and psychology and the reason i still breath. Thank you Twenty one pilots, i cant wait to meet you

[juliaelcess]

I love how Tyler loses himself in the music. People say he looks like he's having a seizure but I think he's just feeling the music within himself. And that's what I love about them.
