Our BACKSLIDE Reaction!!!- Twenty Øne Piløts

BANGER. This one is such a vulnerable one.
So cool how everyone can have their own interpretation of this song but the theme remains the same: going back to old habits and wanting to make a change.
Please discuss YOUR thoughts in the comment section down below! We’d love to hear your theories and if this song personally impacted you.
Enjoy!

Ned’s Bread. Ned symbolizes his creativity. He mentally struggles with his creative process because it what keeps him going mentally but now it comes with a price because he uses his creativity to make money. “Bread” calls back to Chlorine where Ned came in 😊 he wants his creativity to come from a genuine place, not just to make money. But he also likes that he can make money with his creativity and that internal struggle with his demons about it. So many callbacks to old songs! And the end scene where the buns are ruined and he turns around to go back for more, and you see Josh cooking the meat…it symbolizes to me that Tyler brings the creativity to the duo and Josh brings the meat. They need each other to make that burger. And Josh will stand there ready to dive in with Tyler no matter his creative process or how many times he scraps it. This song can literally be interpreted so many ways which is why these guys are just TOP tier in my heart. ❤️ I love y’all’s reactions ❤❤❤

I have theory and thoughts Interesting facts about Backslide and hidden meaning: At 1:38 in the official KZbin video (or 1:28 on the track), a very robotic voice can be heard saying "NPI RAB Self Titled" as Tyler sings "what happened to what brushed under rug" (NPI can be heard right after "yesterday", RAB when Tyler sings "brushed under", Self Titled after the word "rug"). In this context, Tyler asks what happened to his first albums (NPI - No Phun Intended, RAB - Regional At Best and Self Titled). Backslide is also synonymous with Fall Away (in a religious sense) and both of these expressions are song titles (Backslide album Clancy, Fall Away album Self Titled). In religion, these words denote a departure from faith, but in both songs, Tyler sings, "I don't want to backslide (fall away)." Tyler, being a Christian, does not want to deviate from the faith and continues to struggle with evil in his head. By the way, both tracks of both Fall Away and Backslide begin with the words "I don't wanna". About Ned's Bread's buns (literal translation of "Ned's Bread"). Tyler has said that Ned represents creativity. In this video, he buys Ned's bread (buys creativity) to take Josh and make a burger (track), but he throws away some of the bread (creativity), gives away some of it, and gets the last bread wet and the burger doesn't work out (there is no track).

I’m a huge Twenty One Pilots fan too and this song is incredible like it’s been stuck in my head for days now ever since it released lol

enjoyed hearing your thoughts. was very different to what i expected but i love it so much! In backslide tyler's asking someone to 'throw me a line' to give him something to hold to stop him going under the water. In holding on to you there's already a line being offered and tyler has decided to cling onto it so that with the line 'i should have loved you more' also reminds me of struggles with faith.

I love that you connected Tyler's lyrics to Simon Peter reaching for Jesus' hand pleading for help as he was sinking in water. It's clear Tyler is talking to God in the song. Love the song and great reaction.

Crying and screaming my lungs out, from the nosebleeds this time, but I'll be there!! I'm thinking he's saying he should've loved himself better, too. ❤ your reactions, ladies 😊 ❤|-/💛

good reaction! What if the bread is communion with God? I discard it sometimes, and trade it some, times but have to go back to replenish
