“It’s a taste test of what I hate less” is a cynical view of the general ed requirements in a typical university curriculum.

So interesting to see this after Clancy is out, you have good theories.

super cool!! i think my first piece of official merch will be the clancy diary :)

Coming back to listen before seeing part 2, and that line about listening to Next Semester more than Snap Back hits. On my first listen through the album, I listened to Snap Back a good 5 times before moving onto the next song, so that line spoke to my soul.

such a good analysis :)

This album is so coded in addiction it’s wild. Even the alternate/scrapped lyrics off the album point towards addiction.

Trench lyrics featuring denial!: Levitate: I'm just a ghost I'll morph to someone else A defense mechanism mode Neon Gravestones: Promise me this If I lose to myself You won't mourn a day And you'll move onto someone else Cut My Lip: Rust around the rim, drink it anyway Legend: I'm sorry I did not visit Did not know how to take it When your eyes did not know me Like I know you Trench lyrics about the passage of time and aging! Jumpsuit: Felt it in my youth, feel it when I'm old Chlorine: So where are ya? It's been a little while I've been tested like the ends of A weathered flag that's by the sea Neon gravestones: Find your grandparents or someone of age Pay some respects for the path that they paved To life, they were dedicated Now, that should be celebrated The Hype: I don't believe the hype And you know you’re a terrible sight But you'll be just fine Just don't believe the hype Pet Cheetah: Eight days straight, eight hours each and not one line No, I move slow I want to stop time Legend: You were one of those classic ones Traveling around the sun Leave the Cuty: They know that it's almost They know that it's almost over It's only time before they show me Why no one ever comes back With details from beyond In time, I will leave the city For now, I will stay alive Last year I needed change of pace Couldn't take the pace of change Moving hastily But this year, though I'm far from home

another amazing analysis. can't wait for the big finale! |-/

banger

Thank you for saying what you did. I didn't realize I needed to hear this as much as I did ❤️

Wow..this was so thorough and incredible when broken down like that. Kinda made me emotional ❤ such a good video

I was thankful Tyler made it clear what Vignette was about. I feel it's important to him that we know for sure, either for ourselves and our journey, and/or to know more about his own journey (probably both).

Hey everyone. I realized too late that I neglected to mention eating disorders in this video alongside substance and self harm addictions. I want you to know that if you are struggling with an ED or have in the past, everything I said in this video applies to you too. Peace!

very interesting!!

thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Okay This is still not my find, I think it was originally pointed out on a reddit thread then forgotten about But on the cd jacket (I don't think it's on the vinyl sleeve/cover, but i don't really know) of the BF album, there are a pair of eyes, exactly where the red tape is They are to the left-hand side of the patterned circles when looking at it straight on; in the black margin They are a blacker shade of black, or a greyer shade of black, so they are subtle to the eye, but I wonder if no one really knows about this? Or everyone does and they just aren't including me in the inner circles of the Clique Anyways, those eyes are right under the red tape, I think Also, they align perfectly with Trash's eyes Which would be super bugnuts if they knew in 2014-15 that their album Blurryface would have an easter egg from a future •optional• era in 2021? Or 2022? whenever it was that SAI was released I mean, it would probably be around eight years beforehand? That is substantial foresight for an album that Tyler classified as just one of two possibilities There are also those who believe that one of the eyes aligns with Clifford's Check it out for yourselves!

Thats super cool theory❤

I always appreciate your insights, Patience. They help me to think in different ways. You're right - none of us really know what the correct interpretation is, but it's fun to fantasize, and love hearing what others think. Please rest now! ...until the album starts at 11:45pm ET on Thursday night, at least. ;-)

Great thoughts ..I find with Tyler that it isn't always a matter of one interpretation against another but multiple layers of meaning. I mean.. for a song to be simultaneously discussing mental health battles, faith struggles and the story of a fictional world is mind blowing to me! But that's the case with like.. most of their music.

Oh God i need more about this. Thank you

Y’all need to stop with the Dema stuff. It’s clearly has nothing to do with the story. And the lyrics 100% make sense and literally says what he means. “Here’s a taste test” means he’s a taste of the punk music that he is presenting to the click(because this is the first punk song TOP has ever made and he’s a little afraid of what the click might think… because they listen to pop music and shit like that). “Of what I hate less” he hates punk music less than most things he presumably hates. Then all the other lyrics are clear as day talking about anxiety/panic attacks.

Amazing

I'm wondering, given that all of this is a repeating cycle, if at the very end of Clancy, we see Tyler once again in the car from heavydirtysoul, but instead of in the back, he's up front, in the driver's seat because he's finally in control of his own life. No longer tethered to Blurryface and Dema. I noticed during the Next Semester video, that each time he dodges the "car" that has suspiciously blue neon lights, he seems to gain more and more confidence in avoiding it, until the last one where he's wearing the Clancy mask, where it looms lkke he's almost daring the "car" to hit him right up until he steps away at the last second. He's not afraid anymore, or at the very least, he's overcome it. And with the fight back, he's taking back control of his life. I honestly think it would be a fitting end to see him driving the car at the end, no longer having to fear where it (the car/his mind) will take him.

you are so loved ❤️

ur theories r crazy and so well done keep up the good work ||-// love to hear what you have to say

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw the March to the Sea connection! Great breakdown!

You always make connections no one else does. I'm blown away.

Tyler is a master of lyrics and story-telling. Beautiful song he just released. He is setting up such high expectations for this new album, but knowing Tyler and Josh they are still going to blow way past it.

I CAN FEEL TYLER ON THIS SONG ESPECIALLY "CAN'T CHANGE WHAT YOU'VE DOONE!!"

Wtf is he going on! Today a couple hours ago i had watched their clip and threre is no on there channel that disappeared even from my KZbin story I'm FROM Belarus may be they blocked it in my country or deleted by their channel? Help

Lemme just _wipe your tears_ Mhm mango, nice

“headlights call my name”?

😭😭😭 this song, my heart omg I can’t, hit me very hard, I relate.

Love to you, Patience. ❤

twenty one pilots never cease to make absolute bangers with heartbreaking lyrics lmao

❤❤❤❤

IVE BEEN SOBBING SINCE IT CAME OUT I RELATE SO SO MUCH TO ITS HEARTBREAKING

They're gonna come to my country 2 days before my birthday next year, I'm excited about this one in particular lol

Take your time, great art requires patience. As someone who tried once to commit suicide, I can understand why the song communicated deeply with you. You got this, we're all here for you, and I hope you're doing good. |-/

Hope goes by another name. 5:37 Jesus

Great video however I think the letters mentioned keons being there during the blue door sessions specifically

I'm just praying it isn't a representation of him selling out to the industry and losing his soul to the devil😢

I got my mom into the story so she asks me lots of questions to help figure all of this out in her own mind, and she said, "I'm probably over-thinking it..." and I said, "Nope, we're probably all under-thinking all of this - there's no way you can over-think this story."

The points you made about Lisden, the 8 wait whats, and the car radio live performances all got me 🤯 great video |-/

This is a really cool theory |-/ I'm looking forward to your full analysis!

He’s taking over his body?
