"Taxi Cab"
I wanna fall inside your ghost
And fill up every hole inside my mind
And I want everyone to know
That I am half a soul divided
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid."
I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."
I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless piece of death I've made for you
A mortal writing piece of song will help me carry on
But this you heard
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid."
I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."
So the hearse ran out of gas
A passenger person grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab
A beautifully plain taxi cab
A cab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack
Driving once again
But now this time there were three men
And then I heard one of them say,
"I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade
When all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate
So he could see another day."
Then I cracked open my box
Someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot
Where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more
Pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor
And found the breath I was searching for
Then there were three men up front
All I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked them, "Am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?
And then one turned around to say,
"We're driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away
And all you did will be undone."
I said, "Don't be afraid."

[@alese7709]

The, 'We're going home' part always meant so much to me. I used to get this feeling that even when i was at my house i wasn't HOME. And now, listening to this song, I realized it means (to me at least) going back to Heaven.

[@Martyna00900]

i'm crying aghhhhhh :( and i'm so happy at the same time

[@xLittleChaosx423]

The first song I heard from tøp was stressed out. I thought it was pretty good. I skipped the entire blurryface album and went straight to vessel. I got hooked to ode to sleep and migraine, and also all the others. I started to really like this band. I told my friend about it and she apparently told me to listen to this band a long time ago, and I said I would listen to a few songs when I get home. Guess I forgot. So then my friend and I started talking a bunch about the band. I also listened to blurryface and I absolutely loved it. I memorized lane boy cause it was too damn good. I showed my friend and my other friends that didn't like tøp so much only stressed out, they didn't really care. Then I went on Spotify and clicked to shuffle play. This song comes on and I'm like what dafuq is this. I realize tøp had another album and I listened to everything. I ended with watery eyes. I realize that these songs had so much meaning. Well I mean I realized that before but now even more.

[@xLittleChaosx423]

(Continued)Addict with a pen and Taxi cab made me remember how depressed I was the year before and I had nothing to help me deal with it. I would cry every night saying I was worthless, and nobody would care if I died. When I tried telling people how depressed I was (not my parents they would have taken me to therapy and I didn't want that) they wouldn't take it seriously cause I was normally a happy person. That made me worse. Then at the end of that year I started listening more to MCR and that made me okay again? I dunno. I realized that I was worth it. But a little before I listening to stressed out it was starting to come back. But once I checked out all these tøp songs it was slowly leaving again. It comes back majorly sometimes but always leaves after a few of these songs. After a month or so, I found out kitchen sink then regional at best and I was so ashamed of myself of not finding that album sooner. Kitchen Sink really hit me hard cause the last bit (continued next comment)

[@xLittleChaosx423]

Where he says "leave me alone, don't leave me alone" and it got louder and such reminded me of when I was depressed I would tell people to leave me alone and don't talk to me when actually I wanted someone by my side everyday. Then I found out anathema a couple months later (cause I didn't listen to every single song in the album yet) and I was like "woah" cause I sorta relate to that song still the most. It's telling people that you don't know what goes on in my mind, you don't know what I'm dealing with, and such and that was when I got totally into tøp. I was obsessed. I didn't listen to anything else besides these songs cause they helped me over this past year. For almost a year now I've been part of the clique and I wish I've been one longer but it's fine. Omg this was so long. Thank you to whoever read everything. Stay Alive, it's worth it |-/

[@hidyclimb5023]

My story of how I got into tøp is pretty similar to yours. I cry almost everytime I listen to him screaming "Don't leave me alone" in Kitchen Sink because I can just relate to that line so much. But really everytime I listen to any tøp song it just hits me so hard because I don't understand how a song can have so much meaning and reflect so much of what is going on inside my head. I loved reading your story my fren. |-/ Stay alive

[@JarringPandora0]

I can't stop hearing how Tyler refers to the Holy Trinity or three angels that saved him from committing suicide because of how he says "we had to save him from his fate so he could see another day" and then it follows up to when they speak to him saying "we're driving towards the sun where all your blood will wash away and all you did will be undone" and I can't stop imagining Tyler being so miserable back then and it actually hurts me when I think about it.......

Whenever I feel I have anxiety (I have an anxiety disorder), I look this song up, close my eyes, and when Tyler tells me not to be afraid, I believe him. I understand I'm going home and I know I will be okay. This is the song I have to calm myself (Trees, Goner, Ode To Sleep, Ruby, and Lovely are also very calming), and I wish I had had it earlier in my life. Especially about a year back when my anxiety was starting to ramp up. This song seriously works wonders and I have never been so thankful for something in my life.

This part pains yet comforts me so much. And I do believe it's religious, the fact that it's 3 men, and that Tyler couldn't see their faces. Their are biblical references of God hiding his "face", because humans couldn't handle it. I think that's what Tyler's referring to.

[@meifiower]

this song gives me chills

[@KarinaGonzalez-ch6ju]

+Kelsey Harrington same.

[@AsherJohnsonTCG]

So true :)

[@JuanQuirogaTech]

This is by far one of the most amazing songs of our Twenty One Pilots. These lyrics are so strong and emotional.

[@emilynicholls3360]

And I thought addict with a pen was cry worthy.. (I'm a new fan, I'm working my way backwards so I've listened to blurryface, vessel, regional at best and now I'm on self titled and self titled is probs my favourite 💖)

[@maddylee2442]

I love new clique members because i can like- teach them things lol. Welcome to the clique, glad to have a new family member.

[@emilynicholls3360]

Haha I love the clique! they're so much nicer than tv show fandoms 😂

[@allie-ny2dj]

Emily Nicholls I know. I remember when I was new. I was going through a lot of tough stuff (and currently still am) but listening to their music made me feel a real sense of happiness. on top of that, talking to the clique made me feel like I had real friends that understood me. It was amazing. Just a couple weeks ago, I found out that my friend knew blurryface and vessel. since then, I haven't been dreading going to school, instead looking forward to it. but yes, the clique is an incredible group of people that has helped me so much. |-/

[@anamiranda2262]

Welcome to the clique!!💗💗😄

[@emilynicholls3360]

Ana Miranda thanks! (sorry for the late reply 😂)

[@TheLastOfTheAmericanGirls]

You know that one song you go to when everything's going wrong and you listen to it and it comforts you and makes you feel like everything's gonna be okay? This is that song for me tbh

[@emmamarie7201]

This song makes me feel so relaxed when I need it the most. Thank you Tyler and Josh. |-/

[@stayalive4692]

same.

[@jessiedolan805]

Emma Marie josh wasn't in the band during this time

[@emmamarie7201]

Okay. I still love them.

[@x7xx7x85]

This song reminds me of those who are on the otherside. I lost my Mom she committed suicide. She was so tormented by the evil of this world. It's sad she was truly sick, but I know she's whole again. All I know is she looking down, and couldn't be happier with my strength on my way home. No matter how dark things are understand it is the absence, of light that deceives your eyes.

[@liam3626]

Gosh, I'm so sorry, your mum sounds like a wonderful woman, I hope you're ok buddy.

[@nottocleverxx614]

May she rest in peace wherever she is 💕

[@caitlynoloughlin4020]

+Zrd D i am so sorry. i know she is so proud of you wherever she is. I know that she is looking down on you regretting what she did so she could be with you right now

[@emerson6794]

I'm reading all these comments... a lot of people are relating to twenty one pilots and saying that they saved their lives. It just proves that Twenty Øne Piløts are amazing.

[@SnaptrixGaming]

People say they are depressing I feel the opposite about them

[@Joy-kn9pr]

+Peyton I totally agree. There's obviously no way I could know for sure, but I have a hard time believing that the people who find them depressing have ever really experienced depression. There's something so incredibly uplifting when you hear a band sing about struggles you face every day.

[@chunkytree34]

+Joy Foley exactly. Thank you for finally for saying it.

[@isaac.aaron.standen]

i can't even begin to describe how much this means to me oh my god

[@googoogaga7175]

Ive moved on from tøp. Im over my obssesion phase but sometimes its nice to come back to them. They arent a huge part of my life anymore but theyll always have a special place in my heart

[@zeonmoo192]

Okay every time I hear this song I get empty nostalgia.. it feels like I've heard this song a long time ago but I definitely haven't. It sounds like there's a song out there that sounds super similar to the "don't be afraid" part. and it makes me sad because this song is amazing but I can't listen to it without getting chills... if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE HELP ME

[@zeonmoo192]

I think I found the song it reminds me of, but the rest of it is still true.

[@luciep8332]

+zeonmoo192 what song was it? :)

[@zeonmoo192]

Der Baum the piano version of stars by grace potter and the nocturnals

[@bae404error]

+zeonmoo192 DUDE THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. I swear I've heard the beginning before

[@delenaian3914]

[@avhavz]

This song is so under rated

[@angelacantu1951]

Pastel Princess i agree

[@joeysduckieseighteen]

I want this played at my funeral.

[@אמיתישגיא]

This or friend please

[@alexthepotato]

This has always been one of my favorite songs. I still can not believe I saw this live in October-

[@andrebaptiste3135]

2021, its amazing how these songs meant nothing to me in my teens, but now, approaching 30 its PROFOUND

[@emmychiefff7209]

Someone mentioned this song on Instagram and I haven’t listened to it in a few years. Older twenty One Pilots songs always make me sad and nostalgic but happy at the same time like what. Don’t mind me, I’m just over here crying

[@ryahmoar8639]

I don't understand how Tyler can take something as dark and scary as depression and bad thoughts and manipulate and twist them into something beautiful like this song, it blows my mind ok bye.

[@texaspoontappa2088]

Hearing him telling me not to be afraid makes me actually feel pain in my heart.

[@ooftaincorporated1936]

My favorite quote from Tyler is,"You can close your eyes if you want, sometimes it makes things less scary." I have no idea why but just thinking about that quote makes me feel so safe and loved. I don't know what I would do without this band.

[@gourmandcafe2812]

I would say that this song is so underrated. But it is the charm of a song hidden from the charts, from the music industry. It is an absolute timeless song. The fact that you have to know T.Ø.P to know this song, and you have to dig through the first albums to find it makes it even more iconic. It is my favourite sing from Twenty One Pilots. There is everything Inllve about them: the emotion, the screaming, the softness, the rap, the lyrics, the meaning, the storytelling, the change of style,...

[@saucealito4067]

"I wanna strip myself of breath a breathless peace of death I've made for your" - I have no idea why but I just love that line .

[@joshmcgaw9521]

Heard this song on the radio first time I have heard it since 2017. Completely forgot it existed good to hear real music again.

[@_.Dylan._]

Damn I never knew this would be on the radio

[@cr0wskulls]

TOUR SPOILERS!!!!! This is just one of those songs that I love so much that it's like a problem. I love this song with all my heart, but I knew that "Oh, it's such an old song, I'd probly never get to hear it live..." Well, during the show I went to (the first one of the Bandito Tour), Tyler started playing his piano while doing a little speech like at his other shows. He says "This is an older song" or something along the lines of that and so I was expecting something from Vessel probably... I was sure he wouldn't play anything off self titled... He proceeded to say "This song's called Taxi Cab". I started s o b b i n g. I cried harder when he said that than I had in a long time... so hard that I couldn't hardly see the stage... I loved every bit of that show, but him performing Taxi Cab live was by far my favorite part.

[@sophiaspehar855]

Sophie Jeans I went to their concert a few days ago too and I cried so much, Tyler’s voice is just so beautiful along with the piano.

[@masonforrest3041]

this is legit a subtle christian song. i really like that. It talks about the three men in the cab (father, son, and the holy spirit). it also talks about how when he dies, all he did is undone and he is washed in the blood. it seems like a depressing song, but if you look deeper, its actually comforting.

[@lukaslee4810]

So called "fake fans" dont exist. We all listen to twenty-øne piløts for a reason. Whether we just like the melodies of the new or old songs, or love the meaning behind all the songs, or our friend is forcing us to listen, we all are here for a reason. Our own reason. If you're a twenty-øne piløts fan, i dont care if you only like one or 2 or all of their songs. You're still clique. So everyone, please stop. Whoever is a fan is a fan. Not a fake one.

[@Kyle3LB]

Never fails to make me cry I love this song with all my heart

[@malloryfireflies8078]

i just found out that one of my friends is safe and alive after disappearing for a little while, and they love this song. i can't stop listening to this and sobbing, i was so worried about them and they're alright, they're okay.

[@MrGeltz]

I feel like this song is about confronting death. He talks about driving into the morning sun, where all your blood is washed away and all your did will be undone. Which I feel he is talking about Heaven. The don't be afraid part basically means don't fear death.

[@sandrasimka7629]

I love that people still come back to this song

[@sam-if3ct]

this song: **on the setlist** me: **sobbing uncontrollably**

[@roseymusicismylife5103]

It shatters me that this is how Tyler thinks, he doesn't deserve it and I want him to know that so many people love him and I want him to value himself so much and I don't even know him and I love him. I know all of that is a lot easier said than done

[@Ingrid-lz3wt]

[@sorcerieie]

I have a friend that committed suicide a few months ago and this song totally reminds me of him although I can't pinpoint why exactly

[@Cooldude-bt4yh]

I get that feeling too from this song.

[@norsetitan5776]

Eva Agu I understand too, but a lot of people think that their music is supposed to be sad, but it is in fact, beautiful and happy, and he spreads the word of god above all else

[@Cooldude-bt4yh]

I can have my own interpretation of music I listen to, thank you very much. A lot of songs don't have any mention of God in them, not even with a lot of bullshitting the lyrics. Why do you think this?

[@VioletOwlz]

Glyding Spirtfire, you’re of course always allowed to have your own opinion of what a song means! Your interpretation, whatever it may be, is important. From a Christian perspective, a lot of Twenty One Pilots songs have a very deep meaning, even without the mention of God’s name. The last verse especially. It just makes us joyful when we see even a glimpse of God, even if it’s in the midst of our own despair, like the man trapped inside the box riding in a taxi cab to a place where all his wrong will be washed away. That’s what we believe in, that kind of hope. I wish you all the best!

[@sorcerieie]

VioletOwlz I think this is so true. And from a once Christian now atheist, personally I feel oddly like somethings, some meaning, is taken from my song when he does mention god or implies it. I just never had any luck with god or gods in general. But then again of course it's not my song, its tylers and now all of ours so what am I to say anything about his choice in lyrics. They still hit me in places I wasn't sure possible and I love them. I don't wanna rub anyone the wrong way

[@jillnyethegirlwhosbi3772]

This song gives me a feeling I can’t really explain. Like it makes me so overwhelmed with nostalgia and comfort but also sorrow and longing for the past. Very few songs can do that to me

[@sur4y]

Twenty One Pilots just helped me defeat social anxiety as I was badly suffering from it. For three months, I haven't spoken to my classmates or any other friend, but I just listened to this band and it felt like everything unwinded on its own and now I have a (somewhat) better life.

[@vintagemisery33]

sometimes i just wanna stab myself for not finding out about this band earlier in my life like damn..

HE PLAYED THIS AT MY CONCERT LAST NIGHT AND I COULDNT STOP CRYING

[@okcool241]

i was at therapy a few days ago and my doctor asked me "are you doing anything you're excited about?" and i said just listening to tøp 24/7 and it turns out he has been to a concert and listened to all the albums. while i was doing stretches we just talked about our favorite albums, songs, and lyrics it was great.

[@coolbeans2103]

He played this at the show on the bandito tour, let’s just say my eyes were sweating profusely

[@kiarrakerr2973]

I love songs from self titled album but when I listen to them all I hear is the pain in Tyler's voice and how glad I am that this man didn't give up and stayed with us.

[@flowerphilips6674]

every time i listen to this song i think about how great God is for making me alive the same time as tyler joseph. this piece of music is a work of art and soul. i feel safe when i listen to this particular music.

[@KerryHart-wm2xp]

im not even religious and i agree with you

[@MusicLover-kz6rc]

I mean I don’t think god exists, but I believe in music though! I agree though, it’s so hauntingly securing.

" Don't be afraid we're going home " was probably the TØP lyric that hit me the hardest and gave me the most hope

[@HolidayParty173]

I've been struggling a lot lately. Stress is just piling up and its getting hard. I found a good way to cope though and some things solved themselves today. Choker was also released today and I realized how similar it sounded to this song. So I can back to listen to this and something felt so different. I can't quite describe it but it almost held me. I don't think I realized how perfect this song is until now

[@ghstwnn]

one time a couple years ago i got to touch josh's hand as he ran past and then they played this song immediately after

[@danielcaplan2641]

LYRICS I wanna fall inside your ghost And fill up every hole inside my mind And I want everyone to know That I am half a soul divided Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away Either way you're by my side until my dying days And if I'm not there and I'm far away I said, don't be afraid I said, don't be afraid We're going home I wanna strip myself of breath A breathless beast of death I've made for you A mortal writing piece of song Will help me carry on But these you heard Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away Either way you're by my side until my dying days And if I'm not there and I'm far away I said, don't be afraid I said, don't be afraid We're going home Okay So the hearse ran out of gas A passenger purse and grabbed a map And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past And checked his watch and grabbed a cab A beautifully planned taxi cab A cab, had it cleared out back And two men started to unpack Driving once again But now this time there were three men And then I heard one of them say I know the night will turn to gray I know the stars will start to fade When all the darkness fades away We had to steal him from his fate So he could see another day Then I cracked open my box Someone must have picked the lock A little light revealed the spot Where my fingernails had fought Then I pushed it open more, Pushing up against the door Then I sat up off the floor And found the brother we're searching for Then there were three men up front All I saw were backs of heads And then I asked them am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead And then one turned around to say We're driving toward the morning sun Where all your blood is washed away And all you did will be undone I said, don't be afraid I said, don't be afraid

[@jimmyjoe1488]

First time i saw a comment of someone saying this! I'm very suprised.. 'Cause the clique always either go for crying or feeling better with these songs

[@semi-automatic.5929]

imagine how nice it'd be to just lay down in the middle of a forest or something at night and just stare up at the dark sky while listening to this song and even though you're alone it would somehow amplify the beauty of this song and if you look around you can see the gentle swaying of the dark green leaves on the trees which hit you with a soft breeze and as you listen to tyler's voice it makes you feel even more relaxed ,, and you just sort of take in the wonderful smell of nature while listening thoughtfully to the strange lyrics in this song and at that moment you feel completed and as the song comes to an end everything in your life seems to suddenly make sense and you're at peace with yourself and it's all good and you feel safe and okay

[@semi-automatic.5929]
