[@dejahwilson268]

I love how much you GET Tyler. Every song has different meaning for every person, but you seem to grasp what Tyler (maybe) really meant when he was writing it 😍 keep going fren ||-//

[@morgangriffin2189]

Me: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-!! Tyler: cause we are terrified!! Me: ah yes terrified... t-that’s what I meant...

[@SuffiReax]

Lol that is exactly what I was thinkin. "Why are we singing the ice cream son...'we're terrified'....oh ohhhh excuse me"

[@tornado4376]

@@SuffiReax it's actually a poetic device more common amongst Modernist poets, wherein more innocent literature is alluded to and then defamiliarised so as to drive home a point about a devastating shift from that innocence and from things we take for granted like an idea of stability. Best example would be TS Eliot in The Hollow Men: "This is the way the world ends,/ This is the way the world ends,/ This is the way the world ends/ Not with a bang, but a whimper" which takes the form of nursery rhymes sung in that manner like "Here we go round the mulberry bush" or "This is the way we comb our hair" etc. Side note, not related, but since you mentioned the line "singing songs that nobody wrote" in particular, I've always interpreted the singing in the forest to a chorus everyone knows being that your grand plans for life fail so you fall back onto the paths that people commonly go on, like the idea of creating songs with meaning to them vs creating what the market requires of them, pursuing an artistic career vs getting a stable corporate job, etc. And then the songs that nobody wrote are these social norms which everyone follows but no one can exactly pinpoint where they come from and what's the point to them. (Edit: the name thing I've seen as you not being able to see yourself in the person that you project for others to see, you wear a mask so to speak, you are a completely different person in the way you carry yourself through the world, and then that other persona is the one who has your name, it's as if that person has stolen your identity)

[@hebi45]

"Someone else has your name" maybe means that other persons have the same "plans/Dreams" and then we are not special.

[@dimashdearraredivideos6997]

Yeah that's how I interpreted that as well imo it just makes so much sense

[@MrBrownLostHisM00]

Self sabotage is definitely a big theme in their early music. Letting those negative thoughts take over and weigh out all the positive things going on in your life is something that I think everyone that battles depression can relate to.

[@dimashdearraredivideos6997]

Just another classic I love this song so much it's actually ridiculous how much I adore Tyler and Josh 💖💖💖

[@girlwithnoname956]

My favorite line from this song is the treehouse part. "And for some reason I smell gas on my hands. This is not what I had planned. This is not what I had planned!" Oh so true. How did it get this way? This is my life.

[@SuffiReax]

Yes! Great line

[@abigailkiwi543]

This is probably one of my favourite songs from tøp and ur genuine reaction is so refreshing compared to a lot of other people who usually struggle to dig deeper into tylers lyrics

Great reaction ! You should try to find a video of Tyler singing it live ! He puts so much energy in it ! We’re really on fire 🔥

[@maxgeorge1449]

This is my favorite song of theirs on this album

[@estherpoules8363]

"Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name" it expresses the feeling of not being special

[@asdband888]

That makes sense!

[@dimashdearraredivideos6997]

Oh my goodness 💡 I never looked at it that way brilliant!!

[@zero22x2]

You very Smart

[@dune6528]

i like the phrase "i scream you scream we all scream cos wrre terrified" it plays off the childhood song we sing about icecream, but now its about all the fear we have.

[@cherrylane79]

I'm not sure what the song means, but there's also a video where Tyler tells the lyrics as in a poem on a street. It's called "Street poetry" or something.

[@girlwithnoname956]

It is just called Forest (or Forrest). And definitely worth checking out. "Street Poetry" is also worth checking out - it is a preview of Heavydirtysoul.

[@strawberrylotlizard]

I feel that. I had 4 big concussions by the time I was 15. I'm 31 now and I can feel the brain damage. I definitely burned down my damn treehouses

[@testimusicali6445]

About the chorus > at a concert, upon announcing this song, Tyler said it's how he imagines heaven would be like.

@@dimashdearraredivideos6997 yeah okay.. I'll keep an eye on my emails..

[@SuffiReax]

Ohhhhh wow, how very interesting. I wonder then if the "We'll be on fire" is like speaking in tongues.

[@dune6528]

i think the "hands held higher well be on fire" relates to the tree houses burned down. like we are now facing the consequences of this self sabatoge, and we are living in the aftermath of that tarnished hope and dreams

[@asdband888]

My thoughts on the chorus are this: and I could be wrong. You know how in churches when people are singing, they often raise their hands to God, or the ceiling at least? That's the first part of it. Maybe that resembles trees. Or it could be part of the Forest/ Trees God connection. Also, it is a large group of trees/ worshippers. Part two is that the songs we sing in church are often written by Anonymous- or are so old that no one knows who wrote them... Singing songs that nobody wrote. We'll be on fire with the cleansing fire of the Lord. It could also NOT be about church. I just was trying to figure out the "singing songs that nobody wrote" part one day. I think it's about going to church, my cliqqies! This is my favorite song not from the most recent 3 albums.

[@girlwithnoname956]

For me it's more of a rave in the woods. Nothing religous. College party. Maybe high schoolers, under age. Everyone hands in the air singing songs that nobody wrote (nobody famous, just your Regional at Best band, and yes, they are fire, cause it's a rave and everything sounds better - but it IS TOP and they are fire, even back then, when they were nobody. As the band sees it, these kids are as much the trees, as the trees themselves - hands in the air, trunk, branches, twigs - I can see it, And this song links to Trees- trying to connect to the kid that doesn't click (clique) with TOP - also not religious to me.

[@asdband888]

@@girlwithnoname956 I'm not really religious. I saw your vision first. I just put a spin on it. I know they are spiritual so I was looking at it from that angle. So many different views of the same song! Cool!

[@fitrihanisa6413]

I love it when you give your own explanation about the song

[@girlwithnoname956]

Oh I also love this line, I don't think you caught it. "Have you ever done that, when you squint your eyes and your eyelashes make it look a little not right. And when just enough light comes from just the right side, and you find you're not who you're suppose to be?" Blurryface? Yes, i think Blurryface was an idea back in 2011-12, and maybe earlier.

[@SuffiReax]

Oh that makes a lot of sense! I remember hearing that line and not really knowing what to make of it. But hinting at Blurryface is very clever

[@tarar1998]

[@bear_handsss]

this is my all time favorite song, this song alone saved my life and holds so much meaning for me, i was going through the worst period of my life when i was younger and was thinking about doing not so good things and my friend showed me this song and that’s how i discovered twenty one pilots, i was a literal child crying for help and i found help in twenty one pilots along with the faith they represent in their music

[@sarahrobertson3936]

I really love how deeply you dive into the lyrics...Tyler's lyricism and word craft is staggering.

[@jepph1106]

After hearing how you interpreted some lines of their songs, I got this realization that the line: "Does it bothers anyone else that someone else has your name?" I felt that Tyler is referring to God having different names in every Religion then, "Down in the forest ... We'll be on fire we'll sing in chorus singing songs that nobody wrote" means: We will be singing our own life's song! that nobody wrote but ourselves! We'll be on fire means we're burn out? these are atleast my POV. Love your vids! I was watching your videos for a while.

[@tyjo5074]

I'd love for you to react to the live version. It's so good! Tyler and Josh are amazing!

[@bigshotz1240]

Gotta finish before the next album comes out. Very soon 💙❤️

[@SuffiReax]

I knowwwww, so much to catch up on 😂

[@diegopantoja976]

The "Forest" is not literaly a forest, is a metaphor, Where the forest is his mind, and the tree that it says _"My treehouse is on fire, but for some reason I smell gas on my hands"_ is that he is hurting his mind, his ideas having bad thoughts ( _I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned_ ). In the part _"Hands held higher, we'll be on fire"_ I don't know if it have a relation, but in *ode to sleep* it says _"I will set my soul on fire"_ as a sign of purification. I love this song, this is one of my favourites of them, And I love your reaction. The next one that you have to do is Glowing Eyes. Please *PD: THE NEW ALBUM IS COMING!*

[@SuffiReax]

Ahhhh see that makes a lot of sense haha I don't know why the "forest" never occurred to me as being his mind. Some times I take things too literally 😂

[@oneiromancer1]

Nice reaction bro, I can't wait you to listen to Anathema and Ruby

[@lynxone9434]

I made a comment about this but it was deleted In my opinion this is the best TØP song to date.

[@marcusdonders]

I think of it as maybe the forest of people. Maybe like at a concert or just gathered together. Also the someone else has your name part makes me personally think of how God has plans for our lives, but that the someone else is the Devil who has plans for you too.

[@SuffiReax]

Oh that is a good point. I was immediately thinking of how there can be thousands of Michaels, different people all with the same name. But you are more saying that God has our name (knows who we are) but so does the Devil and that is what bothers Tyler. Does it bother anyone else that the Devil knows who you are. Very interesting

[@marcusdonders]

Exactly! That's my take anyway. Tyler seems to struggle with those thoughts a lot. I think back to Ode to Sleep where he's pleading with God to tell the demons that He has no plans for his life so they will leave him alone.

[@michelleedler3414]

Second favorite band ever after MCR ☺️🖤 check out Willow Female Energy part 2, also very good.

[@ericstockman7405]

this is my favorite off RAB that didn't get held over onto Vessel "singing songs that nobody wrote" - i think he's saying singing songs with a real message and it doesn't matter who wrote it because the message is the most important part of it "does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name" - i think he's meaning we are all supposed to be unique people but there are literally a million other people in the world with the name Tyler here is a very early performance of Tyler and Josh for this song to watch on your own - this is at Ohio State before they were popular anywhere outside Columbus kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH7CgICjjN51pJI

[@asdband888]

Ooh, the nobody wrote part- that makes sense too. I had a thought that I posted about. It's so cool how everyone gets it differently.

[@dimashdearraredivideos6997]

Hi Eric I knew I would see you here 😁 this is probably t∅p 1∅ but not even because they're all my favorites, Tyler's writing and lyricism is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS in the best way. God bless you my fren 💖🙏

[@SuffiReax]

That is a great translation of the line "singing songs that nobody wrote"

[@biggestdummy5572]

I'm surprised nobody is talking about the forest fic

[@j_cannot_type]

I can't work out if it's a good or bad thing having read it-

[@testimusicali6445]

About ""someone else has your name"" > that's a tricky one and people's translation are interesting. I have a theory but doubt I'm correct on this, but what i hear is going through life feeling like you're not the person on the surface, the persona that people see. Like have you ever behaved a surprising way and you say ""that's not me!""? I guess that's why i have that translation... cause i think that alot about moments/actions etc in my life> i think ""that's not me"". Someone else?? I don't know, just a theory..

[@itsmikey4287]

How do you decipher music like this i mean im good at deciphering it but you my friend are so much better

[@chrisbenitez9427]

Tyler has had a lot of trouble in finding his place in the world and what his meaning is. I think that's why he puts emphisis on being bothered that somebody else having his name because it makes him less unique. You also stated that he thought he'd have larger plans and that he didn't have this part of his life planned. I think that he may feel like a nobody and that is what he ment by singing songs that nobody wrote.

[@dontyoushyaway2523]

do you have a patreon?

[@SuffiReax]

No I don't. I have thought about it as on option for people who really want a particular song but I didn't want to immediately be involving money and make it seem like that is why I do this.

I feel like you weren't in the right frame of mind, because you usually pick up pretty quickly on the songs that are spiritually based. Listen to it with that mindset and I think it will make more sense.
