Tyler Joseph - I Want to Know (With Lyrics)

[@user-tt8cb4nf4x]

"People look at him and think that he will live his life so perfectly but what they don't know is he wants to die." iM NOT CRYING YOU ARE

[@sayomizuki5801]

georgia aaa there is something in my eyes... tears :(

[@samaradudley4710]

Me: crying? Oh no I just got allergies Somebody:but you don't have allerg... Me: I FUCKING HAVE ALLERGIES OK SHIT

[@jonk.e07]

im not crying im CRAFTING!!

[@dizz4386]

I had that part stuck in my head and sung it over and over. My friends were so concerned lol

[@travisharnedmusic]

something cool I picked up. In this song he says "I want to know, I want to see" and in trees he says 'I want to know you, I want to see" idk I thought it was cool.

[@clarielucy]

I cri everytime

[@MaddieThePirateWolf]

He did the same thing with Blasphemy from this album and in Anathema. He sang the first verse from Blasphemy at the end of Anathema

[@travisharnedmusic]

+The Øffïçîäł Åřäÿã “Çřÿbãbÿ” ŠhãffëřTM ya I know. I like that verse in anathema better imo.

[@MaddieThePirateWolf]

+Travis Harned same actually

[@mclainv]

Same with Drown/Fall Away Just Like Yesterday/Ode to Sleep Trees/Trees & i'm a goner/Goner (obviously)

[@marielampozatzidi4803]

Sometimes I just wanna hug Tyler and cry inside his hug.. This kid is just so sad and depressed inside.

[@SinaRde]

he was, so just be glad that he got out of it!! |-/

[@marielampozatzidi4803]

Sina Rde you never know if someone is for sure out of it.. sadness, depression, anxiety are things that usually stay with you forever or you make them a part of yourself. If they come to you, you're never gonna be the same person.. Maybe that happened to Tyler too.

[@SinaRde]

Mermaid Mariela yeah but i mean he isn't *that* depressed anymore, and in this old songs of him it seems that he also was suicidal.. i think it's still a part of him, but you can see in several interviews and speeches he is way more confident and happier than a few years ago :)

[@marielampozatzidi4803]

Sina Rde yeah that's the positive part and I'm very proud for him. He's doing his best..

[@SinaRde]

Mermaid Mariela yeah me too! :)

[@gabe5789]

i am crying

[@abbeye5403]

Lil Tyler- "again? Sure…" Me- ****cries****

[@noah-nx3ni]

he puts an upbeat melody over the rap which i think is a metaphor for him. like he says, people think he's happy but they don't understand. you have to listen to him to understand what he's trying to say to them, he's basically sending out a cry for help, and i think that's what he was trying to do. and the melody represents the feelings and thoughts he's hiding from everyone

[@SinaRde]

people look at him and think that he will life his life, so perfectly but what they don't know is that he want's to die just imagining his parents listening to this the first time... i'm not crying, you are!

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE MOST OF TYLERS OLD SONGS ARE ALL ABOUT HIS FAITH IN GOD

[@lexiesmith5703]

They are lol

[@alissamireles8338]

A lot of his recent songs in vessel and blurry face have lyrics that have to do with his faith in God too

[@beatriz3367]

Because they are

[@amber-uv4hc]

Yess

[@minimoulah]

because he had to sell his soul to be where he is today.... listen to The Judge and Message Man off of Blurryface

[@braxtondavis7799]

Don't worry fren. Happens to me every night but my inner demons and past won't ever let me sleep even if its the soul that's tired.

[@beejae7897]

Keona 3am and I'm having trouble sleeping. I didn't go to school Friday last week, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week so I HAVE to go tomorrow. I've just been so depressed and I havent felt like going and my parents understand it so they let me. Pray for me.

These songs are so golden and helped me through a break up I still feel for from 5 yrs ago.. thank God for Tyler and top! Blessed the day I discovered them years ago.

[@gvnrehmana5625]

I want to know: "I failed to sing for you" "I failed to live for you" "I tried to sing for you" "I tried to live for you" I realize that it's gone: "I tried to sing a song for you but now I realize that it's gone." "I tried to live my life for you, but now I realize that it's gone."

[@mandya.1855]

I like how in the "raping" part of this song there's a happy melody and voice over it but he's talking about how people assume he's fine when he's not. I get it🙍🏼

"RAPING" DO YOU MEAN "RAPPING"

+bea aka trash OMG

Good job fren...

[@mclainv]

RAPING VS RAPPING HAPPENS WAY TO FREQUENTLY

[@Jnj_wna]

two suicide attempts. resuscitated both times. So many years of pain and nobody understands. Finding this song, this artist and hearing his music...knowing theres someone out there who gets me. I guess Im not alone. I thank this music and God that i'm still here to see another day. The bad ones and the good...Dont give up. And if youre someone out there who thinks mental illness is just all in youre head, you're wrong. You don't have to understand but at least dont hurt them.

[@snek7030]

I agree 100%. This is what i love about the clique. We don't have to argue. We just understand each other easily.

[@marchertothesea8404]

You'll never be alone as long as there is a clique still alive.

[@eringemme8983]

this band has literally killed me but has also saved me so many times...?

[@niamhramsay7913]

Even the structure is deep. He has a sad rap in the background, but he has a happy melody covering it up. Put on the glitter ur soul hides behind.

[@zoie616]

the lyrics behind tyler saying "I want to know" are so relatable and true :/

[@letsfly6624]

Okay is anyone else here who's an atheist and almost never saw how he's speaking to god but rather to people close to him? Because I really feel out of place right now because I always thought about it in a different way...

[@libby4810]

Yep I'm an atheist and I love Tyler's religious songs. One thing I like about twenty one pilots is that you can interpret the lyrics however you want. Like Trees, Tyler is talking about god but I see it as someone with anxiety etc.

[@letsfly6624]

+oHmYjOsH good to know, thanks^^

[@sergioandresjimenez1147]

oHmYjOsH I'm just like you. I love doubt and I'm atheist

[@jdtmamaof4]

susan the dead fish shut the fuck up he's not a fucking atheist he believes in god!!

[@pandel7943]

Janell Thomas dude she didn't say tyler is an atheist.. i think you got the wrong idea

[@spookyanai]

Ok.. So some of these lyrics remind me of trapdoor and I just can't..

[@sheldonbrouwer3056]

that's what I thought!

[@maxthenipplequinteros2521]

it reminds me of trees

a person doesnt change. they add onto what they already have and grow. your past affects your future.

[@markersmakemusic8809]

@@ceilingeye people do change Tyler is an example he's more confident and he's not suicidal or as depressed as he was he might still have some but not that much

[@blakewagner2943]

I love how innocent he sounds when he says "Again? Sure?" It makes me so happy

This man didn't think he's make it back eighteen. Look at him now. It's worth it guys to keep on going. Stay alive.

[@tpismalife.-.2656]

A part that really gets me is, “I failed to live for you.” That part touches my heart ♥️

[@leftoverbagel9014]

When "I want to be with you" layers over "he wants to die" it sounds like "I want to die" and I feel like it was Tyler's way of saying that within the words he tells people, the things he truly feel are revealed.

[@maxinegeorge1039]

So beautiful. Keep pushing friends, the lord is with us all.

[@stitchgirl105]

I love this song so much. It has this really happy vibe and yet the lyrics are so emotional.

I think this might be one of the happiest sounding tøp/Tyler Joseph songs with the saddest lyrics

[@catiesmith2491]

I love that in the first course the sad lyrics are covered with not-so-sad words and a happy melody. It makes me think being sad but covering it with a smile.

[@nou6233]

you guys made it. if you’re reading this you’re amazing and cared about and loved. never forget how much you mean to so many people. you’ve made it this far keep going. we can do this together. stay alive friends.

[@clara.voyant555]

I've never understood what he was saying while he was rapping in the chorus but now that I do I'm literally in tears. This hurts me so much, I really hope and pray that he still doesn't feel this way ♡ twenty one pilots has given me a reason to stay alive ||-//

[@clara.voyant555]

[@thankspete7447]

I think that the thing I love most about this song is that it’s not metaphorical like all the other songs. Tyler’s saying “this is it, right in front of you, not hidden by a metaphor or simile, just right there.” Even his voice sounds as if he’s stating something.

[@amber-uv4hc]

[@jadenschultz4634]

Imagine Tyler's parents finding his songs and listening to them

[@tpismalife.-.2656]

Man he wrote these songs in his basement, correct? Imagine you as his parents hearing your teenage son scream, ‘Jesus, Jesus, please, SAVE ME,’ and you hearing your son saying, ‘people think he lives his life so perfectly but they don’t know that he wants to die.’ Man, his parents at the time must’ve been sobbing, thinking they failed. I’m really glad Tyler has made it this far.

[@piperlehr9228]

This reads so much like a suicide note and it’s making me cry so much.

[@christinaaaaah]

You would look at a kid like Tyler with a loving family and probably a lot of friends because he was a fricken basketball star and not think that he was depressed or that he wanted to die. Like I really wonder what could have happened that made him so sad. If I were to see a kid like Tyler I would never think that. Like just how
