(LYRICS)

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound

There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

(Oooh) [x4]

(Oooh) [x6 & repeats in background]
And now I just sit in silence [x2]
And now I just sit

And now I just sit in silence [x3]
And now I just sit

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

I love how the lyrics repeating and not consuming the song just reflects the idea of sitting in silence: a lot of the song is instrumental or restating the main message.

[nerdyandstuff]

I remember listening to this when I was 10 or 11 and thinking it was a very good song but not understanding it. Now I’m nearly 15 and I am scared of my own thoughts. When your thoughts will lead you to fear and existentialism mercilessly you try to find something to stimulate your brain constantly to avoid them, and now when I listen this song perfectly speaks to me and represents this.

[kermyworm]

i love the part when he screams. I feel like screaming my lungs out almost every day, so when im in public he does it for me. I dont got time to deal with my thoughts so I listen to this.

[monkeyman]

i love this song and im obsessed with the band

[dispatcher]

I'm obsessed with this song now... And obsessed with twenty one pilots!

[Marss]

I’m 15 years old now but when I was 9 in foster care my best friend showed me the music video to this song during class and I fell in love with twenty one pilots. She moved schools halfway thru the school year and I moved foster homes so we lost contact for a short period however I did find her socials on a happier note! tøp always reminds me of her.

[victoriabell]

This song was one of the songs that made me obsessed with Twenty One Pilots. Actually, I believe it was 6 years ago today that I initially found this song and realized how good it was and kind of started my journey as a member of the skeleton clique.

[exoticcplayz]

I can relate so much, life is hard, but easy when you have friends beside you. I don't have my friends..

[its_james_fitness]

the video image gets me in the feels for some reason with this song

[mersadiesknecht]

This is the best song I've ever heard

[lotus]

Holy shit this used to be my favorite song when i was a kid, im glad i found it again

[FuckYouTube.]

For me saying this is relatable is a understatement literally the only difference it was AirPods Pro’s instead of a car radio I had and used every day almost every hour and it’s so comforting to know I’m not alone

[pookie]

I listen to a lot of different types of music and this is perhaps one of thee best songs I have ever heard.

[solarcynicism]

im so emo rn. my life sucks but thx to tøp and phan i know i have somebody who will constantly be there for me, somebody who will never fail to make me feel better just by seeing how happy they are. stay alive frens |-/ >·<

[pcseeya]

Im glad I remember feeling like this song.

[jessyvillagomez]

I've been here for weeks... and I can't stop listening to their music! Is that good or bad?

[tehreeem]

I ponder of something Great My lungs will Phil and then deflate the Phil with fire Exhale


Your Welcome, You can never unhear it Sweaty ;))

[asocialfairy]

This is actually without music and just my thoughts to "entertain" me...

[CosmicaGhost]

I've heard this song so many times and still enjoy it but for some reason it feels a bit slowed down? I'm so used to it being slightly faster ie: set your speed to 1.05 in custom and that's what I remember it sounding like since the song came out. Is that just me or does anyone else remember this too?

[stellamariefanboy.]

Despite the memes. This is actually a great song.
