Apparently Tyler had to fight to keep this song on their last album because the label didn't want to put a song on it that dealt directly with suicide - i would imagine that's also the reason there is no music video
You will see at any twenty one pilots concert younger people holding up signs saying that twenty one pilots saved their lives - it's very important to them to use their music to help people and get messages across
it's an important message that needs to be heard and glad you appreciated it - i believe the piano in the background was a take on Beethoven as well
i'd recommend checking out some of their live performances when you get the chance:
Trees (Live from Fox Theater)
Holding On To You (Live from Fox Theater)
Goner (Live from Fox Theater) - this one you probably will need a little bit more of an understanding of Blurryface to truly appreciate so would probably be something more down the line
I could totally see that being the case.
That's gotta be such encouragement to them to keep doing what they are doing and giving it all they have because they literally are saving lives.

@@SuffiReax sorry about that - I did see that reaction to Trees!
@@ericstockman7405 great comment my fren...
@@SuffiReax one of the only reasons my mom like TØP is because she knows how much they mean to me and she knows that they really help people and have literally saved peoples lives. My brother was arguing with me bc he doesn’t like TØP that much and my mom said something about how she likes them because they use music to the advantage of themselves and other people to help them.
Saved mine, too…
you've nailed this more than any other reaction ive seen before.
Aw Thanks!
lua james agree, although TheThirdErnest and Fable had some pretty good ones too
@@IMatKatI TheThirdErnest hits the nail 9j the head with all his reactions. Also Fable.
All three are sick! 💛
Stay alive my frens ||-//
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I have huge respect for this band. Not only do their music sounds different, their lyrics have so much meaning that when put together, they crafted something amazing!
I totally agree!
when he sang "promise me this, if i lose to myself, you wont mourn a day, and you move on to someone else', that was the first time i started cry sobbing listening to the album for the first time
Me too!
I got one part wrong the first time I heard it. I thought Tyler was saying he won't cry for a king. But the line starts "They say.." People don't understand that even those who seem to have everything can still have depression, mental illness, suicidal thoughts.
Right, that one word could easily be missed and completely change the dynamic of the song or how someone receives it.
I thought the quote was "how could he go when he's got everything" and the rest "I'll mourn for a kid but won't cry for a king" was him saying he will mourn for the person behind the celebrity, like who they really were, not just the person who was painted as perfect cause celebrities are kinda of thought of as higher people such as kings and queens.
Idk if I explained that right but that's kinda how I saw it
@@wierd7791 interesting. I like it.
@@suchangburagohain thanks
Song Legend is great conclusion of this.
Is it? I thought it was kind of pinpointed at his grandfather.
@@cristianalonso1787 yeah, that's a conclusion to "find your grandparents...pay some respect to way...that should be celebrated"
@@cristianalonso1787 you're right, it's dedicated to his grandfather
Speaking of Chester Bennington, he was a huge fan of TOP
No way really? I didn't know that, how neat
@@SuffiReax I was going to mention this. Chester broke my heart, he was my favorite. I love music in my life daily but I can say that was the day music died for me. I struggled to listen for awhile. I still can’t listen to much linkin park. Twenty one pilots found my heart again and rose to my favorite now. Chester has a few short covers of twenty one pilots, HeavyDirtySoul and the judge. He stated several times tøp was his favorite band and all he listened to ❤️💔
The "form of a weapon" line makes me think of 13 reasons why. That show resulted in copycat suicides where kids left tapes like the girl in the show to "get back" at everyone who wronged them.
This is what i tend to think about too when listening to it.
Yes, suicidal people can certainly feel like this. Using suicide as a means to "get back" at people who have wronged them.
Now listen to the whole song privately and let the music drive home the emotional punch the song carries! It’s beautiful and mournful, and haunting!
one thing that is noticible abt this song that differs from his others and really makes it stand out to me is how direct and straightforward it is. I'm sure you've noticed that Tyler loves descriptive but super metaphorical imagery in his song writing. it means that there's a lot up to interpretation lyrically, but it makes this song stand out because he only uses One metaphor the entire song the "neon gravestones" calling to him. the rest of it is written like a speech, unlike the rest of their discography which are all more written like poems. it make this song stand out a lot and to me shows how important Tyler thinks the message of this song is, important enough that he leaves absolutely nothing up to interpretation. which mustve been kinda scary to do for him as he always keeps everything in his music just vague enough for everyone to get a different meaning out of it. there's a very direct and intentional message he wants to get across and he does it in this song.
Yes I totally agree, he did not want to mince word or allow the message to be misconstrued. It is far to serious of a topic to interpret some other way than intended.
I loved your reaction :) also that lyric was “ promise me this, if I lose to myself, you won’t mourn a day, and you’ll move onto someone else”
Thank you :)
Ahhh got it, I missed that "You won't" part
great reaction! i like reactors that actually pauses the video and talk about what they are hearing. i don't like people just sit there, listen to the whole song without saying anything, and then after the video, say "Yep, that's dope. thanks for watching". so, thank you, you are truly a reactor!
Haha thank you!
Yes I agree, I want to add substance to the video and have there be a reason for watching :)
Check out JY the pharaoh . Best reactions ever
Many others cannot relate, but "our kind" knows this well.
For us, we have the tendency to want to give up, to find an out, to just be done with it all. The path of life is full of hardships and struggles. The burden of giving to others only weighs down the load.
To endure the path of life is the most sacrificial and praiseworthy path for us. To devote ourselves to life and to use it for the betterment of others.
Everyone has suicidal thoughts at time there was a time in my life where I dealt with serious depression sitting here 27 still alive and I plan on living
^^^^^ I agree. Life smacks everyone in the face at one point or another and our minds certainly can wander.
I lost 2 children to suicide and this song kills me. It is a taboo subject and if you are the mother of those that choose this path, some will treat you as if it is your fault. I miss my babies. gave a thumbs up, but can;t listen to all of it, I am dying here.
I am very sorry to read this :( I hope you are doing well.
I assumed this song came after the series of suicides that happened with celebrities a couple of years ago.
To me, this song has always felt different from the rest, cause he sounds so serious in it. Don't want to say mad or annoyed, but it feels very real and direct.
At the end, it's still a great song, and I found myself replaying it several times the first time I heard this album. The sound and the lyrics just blew me away as soon as this song came up.
Yes I agree, he isn't as cryptic in this song, he doesn't want anything to be misconstrued.
i don’t know if anyone commented this yet but one thing that adds to how powerful those last few lines are is the fact that tyler joseph’s grandfather passed away shortly before this song was released. tyler looked up to him as a role model and evidently respects his dedication to life. also great job you got everything spot on. this video should have more likes. it’s cool to see people dissecting powerful music
That ending is already very powerful, so I am sure that when Tyler sings it, it holds even more weight and emotion behind it. Very sad yet impressive song that not many artists have the guts to put on a record. Shows how strongly Tyler feels about its importance, to risk reputation and fans and labels etc.
The rain the the background is on point for this vid
Don't underestimate the power of what you do as reactors. You guys have become friends with your followers. We invite you into our homes as friends, and we chill and discover great music together. We share music we love, and enjoy watching your reactions as the music washes over you. Thanks.
Neon gravestones is such an underrated song. The song is amazing and the message is the best I’ve ever seen in a song yet nobody talks about it
I was also reminded of Chester Bennington with the line "...right before we turn on them
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling"... (The hang their banner could also allude to a sports figure.) But, Linkin Park's last album got horrible reviews, and a lot of fans hated how different it was. There were interviews where Chester vehemently defended the album and their change in sound and said ppl should get over it, but for someone who dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time that criticism could have still crept in. Interestingly enough, I found two articles accusing Linkin Park's changing style on the new album of trying to imitate twenty one pilots.
When he sang Legend live, partway through he would explain he wrote it for his grandfather who had died the year before, and he learned from his grandfather it was worth it to fight to the bitter end. Which does make me think some about Robin Williams. He not only had depression, but had also been diagnosed with Parkinson's, and his autopsy revealed he had something called dementia with Lewy bodies. His wife wrote an article in the medical journal Neurology called The terrorist inside my husband's brain that describes what it was like for them. Even though before he died they had not realized it was an incurable degenerative disease, after reading the article I personally find it kind of callous to fault someone in a situation such as Robin's, who was suffering that much, for not wanting to hold on as long as possible in the hopes that it *might* get better.
That is exactly what I was thinking, if you already battle depression or anxiety, having such negative backlash has got to affect you deeply and so even though he may have said "deal with it" in the interview, that could have been a "tough face" he put on but inside he was shriveling up. both situations are so sad :(
Thank you for your comment
I always thought that the "i'll mourn for a kid but won't cry for a king" was about mourning for someone who has ended their life early but not being too bothered about someone who has lived their life to their fullest and died naturally. Which is also reinforced in the line, "to life they were dedicated, now that should be celebrated"
Ah see I took that line to mean a celebrity being the "king" also with the line "How could they go if they've got everything"
@@SuffiReax I interpreted the line like you did, only the complete opposite. In my opinion, that line didn't portray Tyler's thoughts but rather what ppl usually think. That ppl don't have empathy for someone in a high status bc they think that someone who "has everything" has no reason to want to die. But it's a very lonely place to be. Suicide can start to feel very appealing if all the love you get is for your work and not for you, and there's constant pressure to stay relevant. If you just die, ppl will remember all the good things you did.
His poetry slam at the end, really hits ya. I'd see him speak poetry in a coffee shop. 🥺
His songs have a lot you have to ponder, after hearing. 👂
Yes they certainly do
Yay! Sometimes suspense is good! LOL. Yours was, IMHO, one of the best reactions to this song! You are one of the few reactors who picked up on what I see as the specific meaning on the word "neon" within the song - it's just like a sign on a bar or a store trying to lure you in.
With regard to how moved you were about his shining a positive light on older people, I think the perfect segue to this for your next reaction by these boys should be Legend (off of Trench). And this time, I AM going to give you a clue about its meaning, if for no other reason than for you to see the logic behind making it your next Twenty One Pilots' reaction: it's a love song of sorts, to his paternal grandfather who died from dementia (I believe), during the recording of this album, Trench. (He even addresses that in the song.) I just think that for you, it would create some perfect continuity.
I really enjoyed this, and I am so glad not only that you liked it, but you got it. One promise I can make to you, and I bet several other people in the comments will back me up on this: even for songs of theirs that may not go as deep, you will find that 99.9% of their material contains far more depth than almost any other artist out there. Tyler has said that he "does not write singles." Every song has its own place and meaning. You will not find ANY filler songs on their records.
And, like before, I have gone on far too long again. It's just exciting when someone else starts to develop a love and appreciation for something and someone you hold so dear, that it's difficult to know when to stop! Have a great day. Cheers. ||-//
I love this comment so much. So beautifully put. Agree with every sing word. 💛🌻
@@reganrobison4493 Thank you, Regan.
Haha yes I was glad I hadn't been tipped off as to what to expect. This was a very different style and tone from them but very fitting for the topic.
Thank you for the recommendation! I already have a few in the queue, but I will make this one next for after those, sounds like an amazing song.
And yes I totally agree with that, even their "weaker" or not as in depth songs still carry more depth and meaning and creativity than anyone else on the radio today hands down. Which gives me immense respect for them.
No worries about the long comment! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos as well as engage with some comments. This was a fantastic recommendation.
Thanks for all your support man :)
You got everything on point! I always love to see people's reaction to this song, especially when the message hits instantly. It's really a heavy one, but very important to discuss too.
You can also definitely hear Tyler's emotion, especially by the end part - that he's firm with this belief and he wants us to realize this too.
Honestly, this could have been a 'career breaking song' - to call out something like this is B O L D and there could have been a lot of misunderstandings that could have caused controversies, but there's none. Only real talent and real good intentions can avoid such things from happening, and Twenty One Pilots has both.
Yes I totally agree. It was brave and needed to be heard. And he did an excellent job conveying it.
Phenomenal reaction my friend. Wow!!!You are amazing. And it's so important to get this message out there. when Tyler's lyrics are so well understood, it just helps his cause. 👏👏
Like others are saying, TOP does nothing without much thought and effort. In the Bandito tour when they played this song, he had us all sit down while he and Josh played it on "b" stage which is a smaller stage in the middle of the floor and it was a very serious humbling moment to sit and watch them perform something that means so much to them. Moved me to tears.
Great reaction! Keep them coming. I'm such a fan. 😉💛🌻
I saw them live for the first time in 2018 and this song was so emotional to watch. I shed a lot of tears that night, especially when they performed Taxi Cab. It was truly an amazing experience!
Thank you so much :)
And wow, I love that they take the time out of their shows to do the serious songs too. They aren't just all for the fun and hype, they still have a message and people they want to reach. Amazing
I’ve seen a reactor have 85 reactions to twenty one pilots and every one is different. Can’t wait to see you react with us when the new album drops!✌️😊
I can’t wait till the next album drops
That is gunna be awesome!
Jes R. Nuclear reactor?
MatKat yes!!😊
Jes R. Ahahahahhaha
Love your take on this. And heck, everything I’ve seen so far. You’re a good dude. You get it. Cant wait to get to your nf list too!
At this point I’ve seen a couple of your videos and you’re always spot on when analyzing the lyrics! I appreciate the videos, keep up the great work!
I've listened to this song so many times but still get chills every single one. Tyler is just... incredible.
So many view yet so little thumbs up.. I really think this video deserves so much more likes.. you've detailed the song so greatly, you explained it to a T. Much respect!
Youre one of the first reactors I've seen really grasp this song, idk why but it made me tear up
Brilliant break down 😍 keep them coming 😊
Will do!
Totally nailed it! Great reaction and deconstruction!
Thank you!
he’s so real for this reaction. thanks man, keep it up ¡
This was a absolutely amazing reaction!!!
Thank you :)
I watched so many react to this song. I am happy you actually got it,so frustrating and actually mindblowing watching ppl having no clue. Hugs
That would be very frustrating to see such a powerful and meaningful song just go right over someones head and be completely missed. Thanks for watching :)
@@SuffiReax yesss exactly
Great reaction 👌
I think you actually made me understand this song even more thank you:)
Wow that is awesome, thank you :)
Great breakdown. You followed that well and the end is powerful for sure. He pays respect to his grandfather w legend. Keep up the great work
Thank you, will do :)
Loved the analysis and effort to really understand the song, I just discovered it myself and it blew my mind. You earned a new sub dude 👊
Preciate it bro!
That was fantastic! I enjoyed watching your reaction very much. 💛
This song is heavy and powerful. The message is so important and who better than Tyler to construct the words and use his platform to deliver it?
Hearing him say, “Promise me this, if I lose to myself, you won’t mourn a day and you’ll move on to someone else” is extremely heartbreaking. It’s also not a promise that I could ever make or keep.
Thank you :) I am so glad
Yes I totally agree, who better to approach such a topic.
Also the song Holding Onto You is kewl
Such a thought provoking song with such a good message. Powerful!
Yes indeed!
yesss i love ur 21 pilots reactions so much dude please do more (also tysm for going over the lyrics and everything and breaking the song down and giving an insight to what the song means!)
Absolutely! I am so glad you are enjoying them. I've got a whole list just for them lol
I'll be sure to drop a like on all of them 🔥👍😂
you’re so good at interpreting things
You pretty much got it! Thanks for reacting. You should have a listen to Goner, Taxi Cab, A Car A Torch A Death, Guns For Hands, and Holding On To You.
And Truce :)
Minya Máté YES!
I'll write those down!
Tyler hitting hard in the feels again... This is one of my favorite songs from 21 Pilots 💕
Wonderful breakdown of this song ❤️
Very good review. You did pick up on everything. I am glad you noticed the stress on "IT". That part gets me too.
Thank you!
Yes that part stuck with me for a while
The like is actually “you won’t mourn a day” just to help clarify
Love the way you get the lyrics, you seem to get it pretty much straight away. Such an important song & message that needs to be heard. Neon is a huge part of the trench songs. Something people kind of overlook in the significance is that neon is used to attract people (think Vegas) its a bright showy light but it has no real heat or substance. Insects are drawn to it usually only dying because of that attraction with no benefit. It’s a hollow insubstantial light used to draw people in.
Yes I agree, this is a very taboo topic and hardly touched on. So for him to come at it with such boldness was impressive.
You nailed it at least in my opinion. This song brought some tears to my eyes the first time hearing it. I’ve struggled with bouts of depression. And the “someone of age” line. My gramps joined the navy during WWII, figure if I can be half as brace as him I’ll be alright.
Thanks for your comment :)
It is a heavy hitting emotional song
Beautiful breakdown of this song
Amazing react!
Thank you!
This song hits me so hard
Best analogy 🎶
I'm just in love with your brain🖤
I can NOT listen to this without crying, never have I ever heard an artist put a message like that in their song, that if they commit suicide, please just move on, don't mourn me. It's too tough :(((
I know I'm super late. But the reason he never says the word suicide is because he didn't want to glorify it in anyway. TOP has literally saved my life several times.
"redecorate" by twenty pilots, similar genre of song in the new album
what a great reaction dude! you should react to heavydirtysoul. it's a great one!. also in the future i recommend you to do the trench triology (they're three music videos with a story on it). and at the same time it's the continuation of heavydirtysoul! ;)
Thank you!
That trilogy is coming out soon!
Heavy dirty soul is about to be released and the others are waiting to be approved to post
Good reaction... 👏👏👏
Please react to twenty one pilots leave the city
Thank you!
I'll put it on my list!
Damn that thunder.. I've never heard thunder like that..
I love this song
hello, what a good reaction ... please react to Stressed out, Fairy Local, migrane, holding onto you, Guns for Hands and Polarize!!
I already subscribed for reacting to Twenty I wish you much success
Greetings and much support from Argentinaaaa!
Thank you so much!
All of those are on my list :)

You need to listen to Dirge by Kill Bill: the Rapper and Rav. It has a very similar message to this song and it’s also a certified bop
You should react to March To The Sea by them. Btw I love your reaction!🙏🏻
Thank you :)
I'll check it out!
This song is kind of 2 faced in that it is very much related to the world in Trench. Neon gravestones are the neon pillars you see in videos like Nico and Niners and it’s attached to religion in the Trench called vialism.
Interesting
Promise me this, if I lose to myself, YOU WONT MOURN A DAY
04:30 Best example: Kurt Cobain!
You have to play the Storyteller performance. It will blow your mind how amazing Tyler is.
What is the storyteller performance? Is it like a behind the scenes?
@@SuffiReax no it's just him and his piano but he brings his production stuff. It's amazing!
@@SuffiReax it's called "Tyler Joseph strips down their hits in this exclusive storyteller Performance"
this is my least listened to twenty one pilots song. i can't hardly listen to it because it hurts me hearing tyler talk about losing his fight. i cry every time and so i have to be completely in the mood to hear it if that makes sense
僕は子供のために嘆きますが、王のために泣くことはありません。
Robin Williams had undiagnosed dementia and he didn’t know what was happening this is why he offed himself
Someone said this might be about what happened to Chester Bennington. But anyway, probably a song of celebrity suicide. So yeah, you are right. Old people are also sometimes wise.
Right, him and Robbin Williams were the first ones that came to mind.
Thanks
Celebrate life.
"wont mourn a day"
12:21 he said the phrase
"You wont mourn a day", not "you'll want more today"
Basically yea, don't dwell on it
Level of concern is their latest song please react to it
Will do
Idk if it's just me or this*kinda* gives Toy soldiers - Eminem vibe in the beginning half of the song.
obviously completely different meanings in the two.
Please don't say people have no business commiting suicide. Unless you are in a person's head, you don't understand their thoughts, the demons they are fighting. All we can do is look for signs and be there for each other.
If you can't parse lyrics in real time use lyric videos lol.
I try to use the official videos from the artists so that if someone wants to click on the original video link I give, the original artist will be getting the views and attention, not a random lyrical video.
Please react to twenty one pilots addict with a pen

Does this guy ever even enjoy the music at all? Yes you want dude to get what it's saying, but also get a reaction....the deadpan is just ..wasteful. Just print the lyrics and recite them then.
