I like that no matter how dark their music gets, there's always hope as well.

Tyler had to fight with the label to get this song on the album. They didn’t think it was a good “career move.” But suicide awareness has been something that Tyler has been passionate about from the beginning, because he understands the struggle. It’s one of the reasons he became a songwriter. This song pushes back on the tendency of the media and others to glorify or glamorize suicide.

My favorite version of this is a live performance on BBC Radio 1. It’s just Tyler on the piano. It’s hauntingly beautiful and you can see the passion and emotion in his performance. But it breaks my heart when he tells us to move on and not mourn a day if he loses to those dark thoughts. 😿 But he wouldn’t want his passing to trigger others into making the same mistake. But I love that they usually end their songs on a hopeful note.

I always think of Chester Bennington when I hear this song. Chester was a huge fan of twenty one pilots. I wish they had a chance to collaborate.

Twenty one pilots have billions of views and still underrated.

He is talking about how media glorifies suicide and the public romanticizing it. He has struggled with suicidal thoughts in his own life that’s depicted in a lot of their songs.

A deep song to react to. These deeper songs just kept us not feel so alone . Twenty one pilots is so special the way the talk about it and yet give us hope at the same time

You were very respectful. It is a difficult conversation. Crying

Twenty one pilots is a band that always puts out music that helps those of us that struggle with mental illness. Tyler (the singer rapper songwriter he is amazing he writes the lyrics composes and arranges The music creates the beats plays piano keyboard synthesizer drums bass ukulele accordion guitar and several other percussion instruments and knows his way around loop boards and can do some mind blowing stuff live lol he also produces all of their music) he struggles with depression and anxiety also has dealt with suicidal thoughts and self harm but he's so devoted to helping people realize it's worth it to keep going and never giving in to those dark thoughts. You'll figure out that a great deal of their music is lyrically deep into the struggle that people go through when fighting mental illness and helping us realize that we're not alone and that it's always worth it to stay alive. This band saved my life and thousands of others as well and I don't say that in an exaggerated way like some may say I do mean literally. They have a song Truce (fire and would love to see you do a reaction but twenty one pilots doesn't have a bad song it's all such quality) the lyrics to True basic jist "stay alive stay alive for me". Subscribed for more Twenty one pilots reactions and going now to check out the other ones you've done.

I’m not into this kind of music but the lyrics pulled me in.

i thought this was a great reaction - you thought through the lyrics and gave your thoughts - i'd much rather see that than someone trying to dance to this song - it's not meant for that

in the bridge he's basically telling his fans that if he were to commit suicide then please don't glorify it or celebrate it - please just move on - because he wouldn't want the mistake he made to be put in a positive light and influence someone else to make the same mistake

Tyler Joseph writes such meaningful and inspiring lyrics. So genuine. 💚

This song hits me hard, because the lyrics are powerful. This is genius! Great reaction.

Oh you should react to Tree's live Fox theater next by them I promise you'll wanna see them live after lol. Tree's live Fox theater Twenty one pilots is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song always hits.  If you know the catalogue of early Twenty One Pilots songs, this is definitely something that Tyler holds close.  Most of their songs have fairly dark undertones in the lyrics with a more upbeat instrumental or rap section and gallows humor or a tiny glimmer of hope, so it is not a full on depressed emo kid vibe.  I think of 'Fake You Out' off a previous album Vessel just throws in a screamed line "our brains are sick and that's ok!"  The instrumentals on the album Neon Gravestones came from, Trench, were probably my favorite but certainly the darkest they've done.

Tyler's making it clear here that while we all have these depressed thoughts at varying degrees, to put a person ending their own life on a pedestal could then be an endorsement to those with similar thoughts to take action to give in to this sadness rather than take positive action to improve their mindset.  Unfortunately in reality, if a famous artist has thousands or millions of listeners and offs themselves, the media and fans will amplify their legacy due to the art they created.  And acting in a negative fashion upon our depressing thoughts gets further normalized.

I loved seeing them playing this live!

Well, the true meaning of this song, is that when celebrities commit suicide, they are glorified, but when a non famous person commits it, nobody talks about them, only they’re family members. It’s like when a celebrity dies, they have a neon gravestone, and about how suicide shouldn’t be glorified when a celebrity commits it.

Lose to myself....  Sometimes a struggle.  Struggle on if you are struggling sometimes.  I do.

This song hits hard, but is amazing! It is incredible live.

Oh my goodness, this is a deep cut!

Stay alive. Thank you, brother.
