LYRICS
What's my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom,
Underneath the insane asylum,
Keep your wits about you while you got ‘em,
‘Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving.
And my problem?
We glorify those even more when they..
My opinion, our culture can treat a loss,
Like it’s a win and right before we turn on them,
We give them the highest of praise,
And hang their banner from a ceiling,
Communicating, further engraving,
An earlier grave is an optional way.
No.
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones.
What's my problem?
Don't get it twisted.
It's with the people we praise who may have assisted,
I could use the streams and extra conversations,
I could give up, and boost up my reputation,
I could go out with a bang, they would know my name,
They would host and post a celebration.
My opinion will not be lenient,
My opinion, it's real convenient,
Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action,
We don't get enough love? Well, they get a fraction.
They say "How could he go if he's got everything?"
I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king.
Promise me this,
If I lose to myself,
You won’t mourn a day,
And you'll move onto someone else.
But they won’t get them. No they won’t get them.
Don’t get me wrong, the rise in awareness,
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us,
But for sake of discussion, in spirit of fairness,
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
And could it be true that some could be tempted,
To use this mistake as a form of aggression,
A form of succession, a form of a weapon,
Thinking “I’ll teach them,” well, I’m refusing the lesson,
It won’t resonate in our minds.
I’m not disrespecting what was left behind,
Just pleading that it does not get glorified,
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high.
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.

I'm pretty sure that the last verse is about the people who say that tøp's music glorifies depression and makes kid's issues worse. He's saying that he wants a space for his own voice and his own beliefs.

[@vohge]

Yeah agreed.

[@InvokeCrisis]

It also finds a second meaning in that our culture glorifies young artists that die. IE, Mac Miller, xxtentacion, lil peep. The list goes on and on. So many of my friends love these guys just because they died. Don’t get me wrong there is a lot to love there, but Tyler is saying don’t love them simply because they died.

Chester was such a huge twenty one pilots fan, and it breaks my heart to think that he was probably a form of inspiration for this song.

[@chem4Achange]

Growing up, Linkin Park was one of the first bands I became a fan of. There were even times when I would listen to nothing but LP. During the pandemic, I truly became a fan of Soundgarden as well, whose lead singer was the guy that Chester looked up to, Chris Cornell. And to think that almost 8 years after becoming a fan of Linkin Park, I’m here listening to twenty one pilots, who is pretty much the forefront of a newer generation of musicians who have the same messages that LP AND Soundgarden had. Sometimes, things come full circle, huh🥲 RIP Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell🙏🏼

[@bri2832]

The ending is so POWERFUL and I applaud Tyler for making this statement! The shows like 13 reasons why and other forms of “raising awareness for suicide” isn’t equating to prevention of it. It always paints this picture that the people around you didn’t try hard enough to save you so you should use suicide as a weapon against them. It’s toxic and it’s not helping in a society where we joke about wanting to die 24/7. Instead of glorifying death we need to put the focus back on how beautiful and worth it is to stay alive. |-/

[@guacamole8625]

Bri totally agree!

[@AiyJayeMee]

Well said

[@serenaireland]

Bri Completely agree👏

[@Levitas97]

You could interpretate the same message into "13 reasons why" though. Yes, it shows a person using suicide as a weapon but that person isnt the main character. The show mainly revolves around Clay dealing with the suicide->getting hit by that weapon.

[@salanietaadi1127]

Jim reeves

[@btrot4799]

The last verse is probably the most important; it is talking about how so many TOP fans glorify Josh and Tyler and not the lyrics/message: "maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high" It is not about Tyler or Josh being gods of a culture, it's about living above the culture and bettering ourselves. The boys are just human like us; they never wanted to be worshiped and it's about time that we started taking their real message to heart... love yourself, not us.

[@VFD3_games]

It definitely is great, however the part before it is better and hits harder and deeper

[@jackwhite3304]

The song is not about the anger he feels for people who think suicide is a way out. It’s about the anger he feels towards people who “glorify” suicide rather than celebrate what’s still with us. Hence the last bit where he talks about finding your grandparents and paying “respects for the path that they made”. He feels people should praise the people who have stuck with us, rather than those who have lost the tragic battle against suicide.

[@AnnieKeller]

Those of you worried about Tyler - I was too. But remember the lines: “neon gravestones try to call for my bones... *but they won’t get em.*” Tyler is strong. He will stay with us.

[@viridescentrose]

"Neon gravestones try to call for my bones." Tyler is describing the gravestone being covered in neon lights, fame, publicity, from the grave. Some people become more famous and are better remembered after they die, and people are almost always glorified after suicide. Tyler is saying not to let this be. Life should be more celebrated, glorified, and remembered. "I could give up," he could give up the fight. "and boost my reputation," think about how much publicity and fame it would bring. "I could go out with a bang, they would know my name" he would be remembered for a long time because of it. This song well puts a lot of what I think about. I'm not suicidal, but I've always thought it strange when people talk about it with glorification and talk about the person so highly while they never did while they were still alive. Let's celebrate life instead, speak of each other highly now, and realize we're flawed, but we can improve.

Musically kids need it too. Didn't u ever sing in the mirror as a kid? That's all their doing. But they can share it. Doesn't make it less meaningful and beautiful to them. My mom went all in on my Daughter and Musically until I reminded her that her and her father lip synced and sung in the mirror (I don't think together. I think she got caught doing it. Was embarrassed and Grandpa said "I used to sing in the mirror too" to make her feel better) needless to say, once looked at like that mom stopped being a jurk. It's the same expression and emotion involved in the music, along with narcissism, (lol) it's just expressed on a slightly different platform. If we didn't have mirrors or Camera phones kids would sing along to music while looking in puddles or lakes.

[@izumithehousewife]

*”Promise me this, if I lose to myself you won’t mourn a day and you’ll move on to someone else.”* I talked with my friend about this specific line. At first we thought it was about Jenna, moving on if Tyler were to pass away. Then we said, what if he’s asking Josh to continue Twenty One Pilots? Then we thought... what if he’s asking *us*? That if Tyler were to die, he doesn’t want us to be depressed about it and hurt ourselves. He doesn’t want us to mourn him, he wants to be, in a sense, celebrated for the path he paved for us? Just food for thought :))

[@cnobles1002]

I think the first part is exactly right, but I would like to shed some light on the final lines. He says “find your grandparents or someone of age” then he says “to life they were dedicated, now that should be celebrated.” Tyler wants us to celebrate the elderly, and any other people that are still alive after struggling with depression. They dedicated themselves to life... they overcame their struggles and that should be celebrated.

[@JM-nf6pk]

I think it's more Tyler highlighting that if he was selfish enough to loose a battle to his own inner demons to not celebrate it. He's condemning suicide and saying we should support living long life, even when there is sometimes pain or struggle

[@clau-anto]

I wasn't crying until you mention the poor and cute Josh :(

[@tylerensley2628]

slaydynbrooke nope. He doesn't want people to celebrate or mourn him because he gave up, your assumption makes sense, just not in the context of this song. He believes that if he gives up or "loses to himself" he shouldn't be mourned.

[@kateysneed3359]

[@javihernandez2755]

It's sad that, out of the whole manifest against glorification of suicide and, by extension, depression that this song represents, people are focused on the "promise me this..." bridge, that is the only part vaguely sad/emo/suicidal. Yeah I know it's strong and deep, but in a song about not romantizing mental illnesses there's a lot of better lines to pick than the single part that kinda indulges it. For example, the final poetry/spoken word verse, that's actually powerful, gives us a lesson and has those optimistic final lines that are simply beautiful.

[@alzbetaborkova1311]

I think those lines perfectly fit the theme of the song. Maybe he's just saying that if I give up I don't deserve your mourning so don't do that. That sounds cruel but he tries to make people stay alive. I'm not saying that people who just pick those lines understand this.

[@javihernandez2755]

@@alzbetaborkova1311 well, I somewhat agree with your interpretation, but I'm afraid about people misunderstanding or decontextualizing them, and they becoming a common emo/depressing instagram caption or tweet. Which imo would be the exact opposite of what Tyler wants with this song.

I wanted to visit this song again to relive some memories I’ve been repressing. I remember listening to this song before my Suicide attempt back in October. I had been put on medication in august. The year before was the worst year of my life and I was still recovering. I just couldn’t do it anymore. That’s what I remember thinking. I wasn’t exactly stable on medication yet and I think that’s what made me go haywire. I took a handful of melatonin and wrote a Suicide note. I luckily survived, but I know some may not have been so lucky. This experience has put Suicide in a new light for me. I no longer see it as a solution, rather something that should never be considered. I never want anyone to make my same mistake. Remember to stay alive. ||-//

This is so heavy but so important and just really great. How he’s pointing out how awful it is that we go so far in celebrating the loss of someone who took their own life when we should be putting all that effort into keeping them going. If we put more emphasis on life and growing old then it might help show people that growing up is good. Growing old is what you should aim for. Because I’m sure a lot of people who struggle think about how much more recognized they might be if they were gone (not saying that’s why they do it, just that it doesn’t help at all).

And someone is only forgiven of their sins and looked upon with boundless love and admiration after they're already gone. But Tyler basically took that mentality and flipped it right on its head. And I love him for that. Because, before now, I never realized how fucked up that really is.

just sitting here crying in the club right now. I miss you guys. the bandito tour was amazing... I can't wait to share that experience again with you, and all of the clique family again.

This song makes me think of Chester Bennington's suicide, when you listen to the lyrics of this song it almost makes you think they were thinking of Chester too when they wrote it.

[@masters-senpai7657]

Who is Chester?

[@SrirachiKat]

Master S-senpai the lead singer from Linkin Park

[@InvertebrateDude]

He also really seems to be emphasising that we shouldn't glorify suicide as much as we do, he even says in this song that if he ends up taking his own life, he doesn't want us mourning him, he just wants us to move on as soon as possible, finding someone who's lived a long life and made it to the end legitimately, not by killing themselves.

[@InvertebrateDude]

@@masters-senpai7657 Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park. He committed suicide about a year ago. :(

[@montselopez3415]

Yesss! I thought about him too! I believed I was the only one or something 😭😶😨😱

[@ZZZ-vt1md]

I'm not crying my eyes are just sweaty

[@Karin-fj3eu]

Fairly l0cal same... in the middle of class :/

[@nickphaux]

Probably my favorite and most underrated TOP track imo, especially the subject matter. This is a very real issue that still happens today, you see it all over tiktok. Im not gonna say names but you can find examples, very grim stuff.

[@nanni4432]

does someone else get "this is a line" vibes from the last part? you remember? that kind of poetry slam Tyler did when he was younger. How he talks/raps... fierce.

[@chrisbates7878]

yeah i got that vibe too, its powerful

[@Ansytea]

yea!

[@hannahhernandez3381]

I know I heard it, it kinda hit me pretty hard.

[@chelanmoly8281]

Yes most definitely!

[@kosmic100]

same here man.

[@morgantubbs6209]

“Promise me this, if I lose to myself, you won’t mourn a day and you’ll move onto someone else” this line was always hard for me to hear because of the way it was “twisted” in my mind for a while it was associated with someone who told me that all the time. It always meant to ignore the person and pretend they never were even here. When I was finally able to listen to this song all the way through, I realized what he meant. There’s a mic drop at the end of this song every time I listen to it.

[@TheAus10]

"I'll mourn for kid but won't cry for king" this part hit me hard cause we freak out when a kid takes their life but everytime someone famous does it we just shrug it off. It should always be something we discuss

[@worrywirt]

Austin Reeves hmmm I disagree. Famous people get worldwide coverage, a kid would only hit the local news. People are still mourning Chester Bennington. I think the lyrics’ meaning is that people understand it more when a kid with a terrible life kills themselves than a rich pop star who has everything.

[@jorgecaimanque6951]

If it's some random kid, people will feel their pain and sadness and everything. If it's someone famous, they will complain about how they "had everything" and that their suicide could cause kids to kill themselves, zero empathy.

[@Glowingeyesrep]

@@worrywirt i agree, but the lyrics were " how could he go if he's got everything. I'll mourn for a kid but wont cry for a king." When celebrities commit suicide, a lot of people do have that mentality. That stigma that since they're so rich and famous, they must be happy. They should have no reason to be sad. Therefore the act of suicide gets over-looked and thought os an act of publicity or selfishness But if a kid or regular person commits suicide, it is not thought of as such

[@samahrasheed8984]

OMG I HAVE ALREADY STARTED CRYING
