Tyler writes all of the songs. Many of which focus on his personal battles with depression and insecurities and seeking God. TOP has very deep biblical themes in many of their songs that are written in a way to be interpreted by non believers in relation to their own demons or problems. Tyler battles a lot with the theme of flesh vs spirit, his two sides of the real him and “Blurryface” which is the darker thoughts.

I don't know if it's just me, but when I see someone appreciate Tyler and/or Josh, I feel really proud. Like I'm showing a parent a video of my best friend singing, and feeling proud of them.
I don't know Tyler, but still feel so connected with them, and really happy when someone can appreciate his creativity.

Tyler is not a drug addict. That is not what he’s talking about. He was raised evangelical Christian and still is. Much of his writing is, at it’s core, an expression of the internal war between the flesh and the spirit, between doing what God calls you to do, and doing what our sinful nature wants to do. It’s also a struggle with faith and the frustration that comes from dedicating your life to something you cannot perceive with your senses. This is a young man crying out to God, asking Him for direct evidence of His existence. It is a rare, open expression of doubt, and continuing to believe in spite of those doubts. It is faith.

I have seen them 3 times and the concerts are like therapy. Everyone sings along and it's like one big family or support group. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, they perfectly put into words what I have been feeling for the past 40 years

I totally get why the title implies the addict is a drug addict. From what I understand, and my interpretation is that he is crying it for help from God because he is struggling with his mental illness. The cycle thing still applies with the addiction and people who battle mental health issues. It could be either. He did write it. He writes all his own music. He's amazing. Watching him sing this breaks my heart. There is so much feeling and pain and anguish in his voice and on his face. I just want to give him a hug. I love your reactions to the boys. Please keep going! Kitchen Sink, Forest, Goner (live at the Fox theater). All amazing. Anything by then is amazing.

Great reaction. “Taxi Cab” is another great song of theirs, one of my all time favs from them.

This song always brings me to tears, as a fellow Christian searching for God. I struggled with my sexuality a few years ago and you know, being a Christian doesn't really go well with being anything but straight, so I had given up on my faith. And I was so empty inside, so miserable, trying to hold onto the last drops of life in my hands...
Then I found Twenty one pilots. And I was no longer alone, Tyler's lyrics represented so well what I was feeling, so I clinged onto them. And this is probably what saved me.
So, thank you for reacting to them - I am certain they have helped many others as well with a wild variation of problems and sharing more of their songs might help more people, thank you!

Tyler doesn’t drink smoke or do drugs, it’s pure mental here .. nice reaction

[Carl-gjed]

During this time Tyler was struggling with religion, depression and trying to find God. He's not a drug addict. He grew up in a religious family and his addiction is finding God. He battles with it quite often throughout his music.

I'm not a religious person but I appreciate the artistry that went into their earlier work. Their self titled album is fantastic.

I've seen them in concert three times and it is so magical. The first time was back in 2014 and I was so unbelievably depressed back then. I remember they were playing "screen" and everyone was just screaming "we're broken people" over and over again and I just started sobbing. That was the moment I decided that I wasn't alone and that life was worth living. Twenty One Pilots is so much more than music to so many people and I am so grateful for them because they are a big part of the reason I'm still here today.

[flightlessbird]

He’s not actually an addict, he’s an addict w/ a pen addicted to the wind as it blows me back & forth…. He’s talking to God

[speedstick]

Twenty one pilots whole self titled album is amazing. "Friend, please" and "trapdoor" would make great reactions!

[animalking]

I just wanna say I found you on here randomly today and I can tell how much of a genuinely good man you are. Your thoughtfulness, and how open you are to listening to new music despite being from an older generation is a very rare thing to see, and it makes me happy to see. I hope you become very successful on youtube, and I hope you have an amazing day 😁

[jessicalandrey]

Thank you so much for this. I haven’t heard this song in a really long time, so this brought me back to my high school years. This song, and this band, were one of my strongest anchors in some really really rough parts of my life. I’ve moved from them to other bands for comfort (mostly My Chemical Romance) but they will always have a special meaning to me.


I’ve seen them twice, and plan to see them again this next fall. There’s nothing quite like hearing crowds of people you don’t know shouting together, “We made it!”

[malinalligbeatriz]

Thank you so much for these reactions 🤍 back to 2019 I was going through a really tough time with depression and anxiety :( I felt alone, I thought nobody could understand my pain and the demons living in my head were killing me slowly... And then twenty one pilots came into my life, I discovered them with their song “migraine” which helped me to describe perfectly the way I was feeling, I felt supported by their music 🥰 and understood 🤍 After a long time working hard, attending therapy and taking care of myself I'm much better, they saved me in many ways and they still doing it today. 🤍🥲 I cried writing this 😂, I love them so much 🥰

[lyricashenfelter]

twenty one pilots helped me through all of my rough patches, hope to see you react to more of their wonderful songs! They've been my favorite band for almost five years now, I have a few requests: Neon Gravestones, Ode to Sleep, Guns For Hands, Friend Please, and Isle of Flightless Birds. Thank you for these videos! :)

[ROCK_N_RO]

This song is so strong, especially like all their other songs. It's why I live them and connect, their great beats along with the lyrics occupy my mind. That empty space that gets filled in by thoughts of my life.

[aliefahembd]

I know almost all of their songs and can sing along to most. I need to go see them in concert again it’s amazing.

[jacquiduke]

You know I have to comment. TOP is one of my favorite things.
I’m sad I haven’t heard this one yet. But what a great one. I feel like the sand he is holding is all the things holding him back, and wants to release so it’s just pure water. Like letting go of the addictions that he knows is holding him back from being his best. Love this one so much

[laurenmarie]

this is the song that helps me through all my rough patches. neon gravestones would be amazing for you to react to and see a therapists point of view from :)
