TWENTY ONE PILOTS - LEVITATE VIDEO REACTION!! | THE CYCLE NEVER ENDS...

[@anastasiar6267]

Ernest: “yeah idk this song is really cryptic, it’s going to be a big struggle for me idek where to begin really Let’s just dive in “ Ernest 5 mins later: *skillfully analyzes every bar of the song while thoughtfully interpreting the lyrics and video into meaningful metaphors which shine light onto mental illness and toxic social normalcies while also connecting the dots within complicated storylines which even long-term fans still struggle to do*

[@Courtguy21]

I swear!!! And I'm a long time tøp fan! But he takes things that even I have trouble analyzing and explains it so well. He will always be my favorite twenty one pilots commentary channel

[@anastasiar6267]

Courtguy21 right?? I have listened to these songs hundreds of times, for years, and still every time he breaks one down I find myself learning something I hadn’t realized before- or at least took way too long to realize. He’s truly the best reaction channel out there and I’m glad TØP brought me to him!

[@anonymous-hk6ge]

Anastasia R bro Ikr. I’m astonished at how well he analyzes lyrics.

[@brianmchaney7473]

I still don't know what the wooden wedges are, tho.

[@chriscarguy]

That’s how it be sometimes. Leave it to Ernest to break down the complicated bar intense crazy cryptic song!

[@kevinwells9751]

This also loops back into the beginning of the music video for HeavyDirtySoul, where he is being driven by Nico in the car until the fire that comes from Josh breaks it down and burns it, which then of course leads back into Jumpsuit. The cyclical nature of the videos is a manifestation of the cyclical nature of dealing with mental health issues. People tend to go through cycles to feeling better and thinking they have things beaten, but eventually those problems resurface and you get dragged back right to where you started. There is no one starting place in these four videos, they all tie together. You say that you struggle to understand this song, but honestly you got it much faster than I did when I first started digging into Trench. As usual your skills of picking out lyrics and understanding symbolism is awesome. That is what makes you such a great reaction channel. It isn't about the reactions themselves (though it is always fun to see you get hyped about the same stuff that hypes me up), it's also the analysis you bring to the game that sets you apart. Keep up the awesome work, always love seeing your stuff, particularly the TOP stuff

[@carlosguevara7663]

Kevin Wells damn I never thought of it that way! That’s a good connection

[@amyfox278]

Fun fact... Tyler‘s wife Jenna is the one standing behind him shaving his head.

[@erickthomas6133]

All this time along with rewatching the video multiple times and I still never noticed. Tyler is something else.

[@lucylume]

How did I never see that!? 😱

[@Shanejke]

"We win but not everyone will get out" - from nico and the niners connect the story. You can see what that means after "Heathens" music video that also goes as part of the story. (Basically there's 4 song that connected - Heathens, morph , bandito and leave the city)

[@jamiemonroy1335]

I never did understand this song. I have a better understanding though and it makes me like Tyler even more. And it's crazy how significant the vulture is because it feeds off of dead animals. The bishops are sort of like it, it feeds off the pain of people. It takes power from it and reenergizes from it.

[@lucylume]

Also the alternative meaning, Tyler is the vulture. He is feeding off his own pain to create music. 'I am a vulture who feeds on pain.'

[@stubmow1567]

the fact that you catch lyrics when he's spittin that fast.. damn. talent

[@lanceb247Upload]

#thethirdernest at 10:50 I think you missed the reference on this line: “But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two At least they all know all they hear comes from a place” Note the reference to Lane Boy with this line, but more importantly, I believe this line is actually a reference to Stressed Out (by far their greatest radio hit) which was track 2 on the BlurryFace album. :)

[@jessicasaxe8786]

I sincerely hope Tyler has stumbled onto your channel. The way you break down their art is an art in itself. You’re a genius!

[@emziegirl1977]

Hands down 🙌 You're so incredibly good at explaining. I have been following you for a long time now and I want to say that you are the best at reactions. You deserve more followers. Love and light from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️

[@sealsbreakfast9200]

I'm so glad you've reacted to these! I love how you break it down and notice little things! It's been fun watching your vids lol

[@NotTooShabby408]

Glad i stayed up to catch this video, please continue TOP songs. Id love to see you react to some of their old songs like Kitchen Sink

[@Caeleinn]

Seeing them perform this live is such an absolute moment. This was the one song I wanted a full video recording of from my show. Your breakdowns of their songs are always so spot on, and I love watching them. One thing that has been skipped/looked over; Josh is the leader of the Banditos, which means that he was also a prisoner of DEMA. He has struggled with mental issues and had to break their hold on him. He's helped Tyler a lot, but I think Tyler has also been there for him.

[@nattcattt]

Wedges under doors hold doors OPEN. I think Tyler is saying not to shut people out.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

The video follows immediately after NATN, but the beginning of the song matches the end of Jumpsuit. They're together on the album as well as in concerts.

[@finnicfox]

I just wanna say I always appreciate your reactions and commentary on any songs. Like yeah I’m here for the music but I always feel like I take something away from your videos. You always add tidbits of your own knowledge and it’s nice to learn something new while also vibing to music I love. So thank you for putting the time and energy into making these videos!!

[@Courtguy21]

Like always, very thoughtful and well said. I didn't even catch that the video turned to night at the end when they snatched him back! Will always be the place I come for tøp reactions ❤

[@lizardking10123]

Watching your reaction videos made find a new renowned love for twenty one pilots been a fan since 2012

[@karthikeyansundaram5010]

Let's goooooo! You gotta react to Morph man!

[@aurorabyers8272]

Hell YES

[@MyHatBites]

Yesssss

[@annazak6059]

Tyler is a genius and so are you

[@roaringcast2604]

Ernest you have to watch the ‘Heathens’ music video because it does in fact connect to the overall story by the lyrics on ‘Nico And The Niners’ stating “...And start a concert a complete diversion, start a mob and you can be quite certain we’ll win but not everyone will get out...” it’s summarizes the events that took place in that prison.

[@danielbray5499]

Took me so many watches to notice he had the paint on his neck too when getting dragged away which was a great touch

[@ririnho91]

been waiting for this one some time, this song is my fav from top. Cheers!

[@kath1114]

🤜🤛 ❤️❤️❤️ thanks man, all i can say

[@JustAnotherSouI]

BTW as far as the "I'll be right there, but you'll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air" lyrics. I think that he is talking to blurryface. Like yeah I will be there for my insecurities and my dark thoughts, but not willingly. They have to break both his hands and force him into them. When blurryface needs attention, he has to take it by force

[@LawsonBrown]

Dude you completely broke this song down so well

[@hollowOAG]

Awesome reaction!!

[@debramanrique]

Shaving his head and mentioning how he "got back what I once bought back in the slot" - Car Radio In several shots there appears to a be a "Bandito" wearing an orange/red beanie hat - maybe a callback to orange color of Heathens music video or a bishop in disguise watching Tyler? Interesting link: "Jumpsuit cover me"- Jumpsuit, "My jumpsuit is on steady, I'm lighter when i'm lower" - Nico and the Niners, now he is so "light" he "know(s) how to levitate up off my feet" - Levitate Keep up the great work.

[@eastisupokc8079]

You get the E for effort. Ernest is up. Eastisup. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dawsonmoss1356]

The reason Tyler shaves is head is so that he doesn't focus on his looks. He has said that in an interview I believe.

[@-logna-8336]

You should react to songs from Tyler's album he made while being in High School called No Phun Intended. It is very well made, and a very sad album

[@fatimamokdad607]

In nico and the niners when he says start a mop and we'll win but not everyone will get out he's referring to heathens cs at they start a mop and gather the prisoners in heathens and at the end they all get out except for Tyler

[@phillugares4888]

Do MY BLOOD next please. Come on fam.

[@c.d.2228]

You got the Car Radio reference!

[@tyjo5074]

Love your reactions! Next: Heathens

[@implct2635]

Check older twenty one pilots album, it's the real treasure. Vessel, regional at best and self titled album twenty one pilots.

[@speaktruth9989]

11:50 yup 12:50 yup 14:08 yes

Please do Holding On to You next. Or taxi cab. Or semi- automatic.

[@danielmagel566]

You should also watch the live Philadelphia 2019 show on yt

[@asCOOLasLau]

Can someone explain to me why jumpsuit is the 1st one . Is he getting caught and brought back to dema at the end , and after that he escapes again in Nico & the 9ers ? Or is the Nico & the 9ers his escape that leads to him being outside in trench when jumpsuut beginns ?

[@acoolbear9167]

[@danmorse2002]

That’s my favorite vid of them on KZbin. Good suggestion

[@wyldchyld1967]

His facial expressions in that video totally sell the lyrical content & then some!! 👍❣️

[@ItsMrxSean]

YEEEEEEEESSS!

[@divyanshkesarwani3604]

This song needs a real analysis... Been waiting for long...

[@jackwade5359]

The whole subtitled album needs to be reacted to

[@guiilty5924]

I just imagine Tyler watching ur videos and being like... “this guy might know too much”

[@mimifolina4425]

The shaving of his head connects to “Car radio”. “I have these thoughts, so often I ought To replace that slot with what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole my car radio And now I just sit in silence”... Dema meaning “tower of silence”. Tyler got out(levitate) by the help of the “banditos” (family and friends). That’s why you see he never puts the yellow tape(hope) on his jumpsuit himself, it’s always the banditos that put the tapes on him(in nico and the niners video). You can also levitate, with just a little help.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

And in Levitate he says "I got back what I once bought, back in that slot I won't need to replace" Also in CR his lungs "fill with fire, exhale desire" and in Levitate: "ever since the 7th grade I've learned to firebreathe"

[@narcisorivero5893]

I always get a better understanding of the music NF and Twenty One Pilots from ur breakdown of their writting. Keep up the great work bro.

[@melonmilkice2755]

I really need to jump into the NF train

[@malikai5643]

Silent311 yes you do

[@boonejones3192]

Same here my guy

[@Blankstare168]

Vulture has no feathers on it's head, Tyler has no hair on his head, what's the connection? "I am a vulture who feeds on pain".

[@myshadow1631]

I've never thought of that, nice!

[@Loonaurtheworld]

B R O O O O

[@aurorabyers8272]

Literally dropping everything to watch this. Let's goooooooo

[@zuleialvarez7572]

Girl, same!

[@klimurgnus]

To me the “keep your wooden wedges under doors” line means to keep your door open, not to shut out the people that want to help you

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

It also let's the light in a "well lit room."

[@snurgette1]

That's what I take too. It's so easy when you're low to shut people out but you cant do it alone

[@PenisSizeSurvey]

Seriously though. It will only worsen things. I've personally done it and isolation isn't the answer.

[@IsabelSantos-yi6eq]

Poor Brendon

[@Nezumi99]

Nobody: Tyler: let's highfive, Josh

[@danielbray5499]

When? 😂

[@sherylh2570]

The Heathens connection seems to be Tyler’s hair and cut over his nose in the jumpsuit video when he was in the gorge. Also ties into Nico and the Niners because Tyler is the one caught at the end -“not everyone will get out”

[@cxpxc5520]

Bro, you are the most underrated reaction channel. Idk how you dont have more subs. keep up the great work!

[@urirui]

now i am hoping for some regional at best songs soon. - kitchen sink - clear - forest - ruby - anathema

[@PenisSizeSurvey]

Goooo awwayyy!

[@asilduin4594]

Kitchen sink is a must!

[@DikaiaSam]

Has he done Trees yet?

[@ravenevermore7338]

“YOU’RE AN ASIAN!!!”

[@urirui]

@@DikaiaSam i think he already has.

[@Kelly30stm]

Heathens was the first time we saw yellow. But like Heavy Dirty Soul, we didn't know there was a connection until Trench came out.

[@marianacastroevans5142]

And also Tyler had a cut on his nose, same one he has in Jumpsuit

[@Kelly30stm]

@@marianacastroevans5142 I forgot about that!

[@dianalog4760]

@Jose Perez Then he changes into a mustard yellow blazer when he performs for the inmates, moving towards the bright yellow of full mental freedom.

[@divyanshkesarwani3604]

Ernest doubts himself about deciphering... A few moments later - "he breaks the fourth wall" and continues to come up with some points which i never would have thought of ... Man I mugged up all the lyrics a year before only to find a good interpretation today... Way to go Ernest..

[@KnowBotty]

My take on the shaving of the head has to do with a callback to Car radio where he gets lost in his own thoughts when it gets quiet, and he is having his head shaved here while he is talking about Nico and the Niners coming when everyone else is asleep and he is left with his own thought.

[@coltonaallen]

Yeah, and cutting his hair (what covers his head) has left him exposed and open. This is scary, but necessary

[@danmorse2002]

Damn man... I’ve heard this song a million times and never tied that line about what he bought to put in the slot and bringing it back to Car Radio. 🔥

[@Alias0524]

Daniel Morse me neither. Make so much sense now that he said it. It also make sense with the head shaving thing too.

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

Really?!?!

[@sirchadwick_b]

maybe a Regional At Best series would be pretty cool? would love to see your reaction to their older stuff

[@ariesgrey]

the way i took the "wooden wedges under doors" is using them to keep the doors open so that someone else can keep an eye on him and make sure he "stays away from the ledges" (ie. a window) but thats just the way i took it

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

It also keeps the light coming in a "well lit room"

[@BarberJBrown]

Been waiting all day for this one lol I think you killed the interpretation! I think the wooden wedges really could be both to keep things out or keep him in the room. Watching this it made me think it was a play off of his lyric about staying off the ledge so maybe the wedges keep him in his room to keep him off the ledge outside of the room.

[@Alex-lv4kc]

The end of an amazing trilogy. Can’t wait to see your reaction!

[@nichiyobi_dome]

Eminem and Tyler would be amazing... The Lyrical Secrets that would be created would be crazy

[@AmandaBee]

man, I've watched a bunch of different people react to TOP but you're by far my favorite, no one else I've seen analyzes their lyrics as well as you do. Really hope you do more from them in the future

[@amandawolf838]

I know I’m late but the first time I heard this song my first thought when he said “cowards only come through when the hour is late and everyone’s asleep mind you” was when people take their own lives they are often called cowards from people who don’t understand and people take their own lives when nobody else is around or late at night when nobody can stop them. I don’t know if that’s correct but that has always been my perspective.

[@ItsBuzzer]

i go back to this video very reccord from twenty one pilots just to see the hype around the storlyline between tyler and his music and how he explains it through his music and watching someone understand what he saying is amazing to me

[@Nezumi99]

CONGRATS TO 80k 👏👏👏

[@davidcook8073]

Bro, No channel bigger than 1,000 subscribers has reacted to any recent Cal Scruby songs and you could totally tap into that market, personally i think he is better than most rappers out now. Check out his newest song "Nostalgia". other cal scruby songs/music videos that are dope: Shut up (i just love this song cause i think its fire) Taylor swift (dope verses, flex chorus) I got way too high (can confirm, successfully expresses what its like to be too high) who are you (swag level 100) brainwash (clever) Let me live (all round dope) worst day of my life (is a light hearted sad song) my anxiety (is a really clever expression about depression and an all round good sad song) Practice (franchise player) Its nothing (swag level 200) Also if you at all care, what makes his story so interesting is that he was on the come up in the commercial scene and had a song with chris brown called "aint shit change". He saw the inns and outs of that life and how his music is constricted by the labels and was all like: Fuck yall im doing my own thing. He created a new channel apart from his vevo channel and just started putting out Fire. His bars got so good cause he had to work super hard to stay relevant without the big brand labels pushing his shit. Now, anything he drops is an instant click for me homie. Would absolutely love a reaction and would love to help put you on to that heat.

[@benvandewetering1502]

You should really check out Holding On to You by TØP. Video and song are amazing.

[@askingdads1810]

Love your channel my man! TOP is definitely one of my favorites. I went back through your reactions to them and i could be wrong but i didn't find a reaction to Message Man?? If you havent heard it yet, you seriously need to. Your welcome 💛

This might be a stretch, but I think the viewers that relate (anyone going through the same thing) are represented by Clancy. Think about it.

This is definitely my favorite video of yours not bc of tøp but bc u were just flowing. Every second you had a new idea, comment or analysis and they were making me think sm.
