Age should have nothing to do with liking/loving/understanding music. If you feel connected to this, then do NOT be ashamed of showing emotion to so called "modern" music. You are still very much modern, have no fear I realize that most of Twenty One Pilots's fandom is teenage girls, but *everyone* is allowed to like *any* kind of music, and it's ok. Stay alive, fren |-/
I remember when I was first getting into them. And this hit me so hard with his beautiful voice and piano honestly, I just love Tyler (and Josh but he still hadn't joined the band yet when this song came out)
This song is the reason why I go, "WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!" every time someone hands me a water bottle and makes me drink it.
i'm not gonna cry in class...i'm not gonna cry in class...you can't make me *finally understands the meaning of this song* *single tear falls* damnit...
I really love the lyric: "I'm just being dramatic - in fact, I'm only at it again, as an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind... Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today" At first I didn't really understand what they meant, but after I figured out what it means (at least to me) it's such a powerful lyric
+gabbi h To me, it means that even though some pain may be temporary, it still hurts, and that's okay. He keeps finding himself stuck on the same pain, same problems. It's neither the first, not the last time he'll feel this way, and even though he knows it's not the end of the world, he can still recognise and accept that it hurts. It's still the end of today. It's hard to explain in so many words, but that's more or less how I understand it. Thanks for asking |-/

Chloe Easterbrook i'm the kind of guy who takes every moment he knows he can fight it and music to use it for others to use it, you're dead 'cause how could you sleep at a time like this
It hit me so hard when he said "...It's all that I have and it's all that need." I don't usually feel like that but, i think he's talking about having other priorities and right now in that moment it's all he's got and he only needs that. I wish i could feel like that.
@library of dragons Chlorine is more about taking time to cleanse yourself of all the bad stuff you have inside and coming back stronger than ever. "When I leave don't save my seat, I'll be back when it's all complete. The moment is medical"
Let it be. Music is about what it means to you. Not everyone is gonna come to this song and know verses from the Bible and what not. Yes that may be the true meaning but the same song can have several meanings. Maybe he means both. I respect your religion and I’m not coming at you! ☺️❤️
I met the most beautiful girl at school a couple of weeks ago because she had a taster day, and we became close because we both love top and other bands. I got a crush on her instantly. Unfortunately she's not going to move to my school, and I chickened out so I never got her number, either. She doesn't have any social media as well. I'm missing her a lot now because I remember she said that she loved this song. I love her
Love the aesthetic of your lyric videos. My only constructive criticism is that you should thicken the black border of the lyrics for this one so that they're easier to read.
Honestly, I could read it perfectly fine. If +astrojace were to do that, then it's just look weird. ot hating or anything, but honestly, it looks perfectly fine how it is! ^~^
+Zack Winn almost ruptured my eardrums going over it, but yeah in reviewing the lyrics i definitely hear a more pronounced "shh" rather than "tch". i'll make note of this in the description, thank you!
no, it is watch me with your water because this song is about God and how tyler is distant from him because he hasn't been the best of sons and he's now in a desert and needs water but God has the water and won't give it to him so he's just watching him with the water. it doesn't mean use the water to watch him, he's telling god to watch him whilst he has the water.. like if you're at the movies with popcorn, you're watching with your popcorn
Tyler, youre an angel. Thank God, you exist. Thank you. You dont know how much you help people through the things of life. You help them get through the pain of living that sometimes hit us hard. Thank you for building Twenty One Pilots!
Two years ago today Nov.12th my Father died. I was 15. This song... just... I don't even know. I am an extremely thick skinned person. I have always avoided my emotions. I can't even explain the emotions this song helps me get out. I know I haven't been the best of sons but I Love my father. I wish so badly I could have said that to him one more time. Please don't take for granted what you have. Go tell tell your father you love him and Stay Alive |-/
Josiah Ferrill Sorry for you , but you're dad also gave an Life to me I was born on nov the 12th. If you want to Talk to someone Talk to me, even tho Im on the other side of the Screen ill support u fren
"I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen" "Some see a pen i see a harpoon" "Who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth Mindless, spineless, and pretend" Oh wait a minute....
@@LaguBudakKuching i know this is late, but what he means i think is that he is an addict with a pen, and he thinks of the pen as a harpoon because these lyrics are deep and can make people cry/feel emotional
every song has its own meaning, its yours to determine. that being said, when he says "im just being dramatic, in fact, im only at it again as an addict with a pen whos addicted to the wind as it blows me back and forth mindless, spineless, and pretend, of course I'll see you again but it's the end of today end of my ways as a walking denial my trail was filed as a crazy suicidal head case" my stomach drops. I hear it as someone who can't let go things that hurt them because of how fragile they are. they pretend to have let go of it and that "its the end of today" so there's new beginnings but in reality they just know they won't be taken seriously and their pain will be diminished because people think they're just "dramatic".
i understand that feeling, having so little left that the smallest things set you off and you know people don't understand. when you go back to thinking abt the same shit everyday because it's stings. especially when "the only thing you have" is the reason you're hurting. being "addicted to the wind" or as I see it, that pain because you're usually numb so atleast you're feeling something. this song makes me want to scream because that fits so perfectly.
Honestly, when I heard this song, I just felt something move inside of me, and I just love twenty one pilots, they've changed my life so much and ugh THE FEELS
"Addict with a pen" Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind And I Haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you, I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water Water I try desperately to run through the sand As I hold the water in the palm of my hand 'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and The waves of the water mean nothing to me But I try my best and all that I can To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand But no matter how, how tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down and the water will drain I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today End of my ways as a walking denial My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water Water Hello I haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind And I I haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water
This song holds a strong place in my heart. It simbolises to me, not God, but the person Tyler refers to is inspiration or motivation. As a writer and artist myself, I know how hard it is to find inspo, and to not procrastinate. So now I listen to and write stories and draw stuff about twenty one pilots. It helps me
Every time I listen to 21 pilots I just- *feel* things and I find myself trying to pinpoint what makes their songs so special to me. The best I've come to explain it is that every song feels so very... personal. While that is stating the obvious, it's wholly different from any other singers out there who make you relate to their songs. Feels like Tyler is actually right beside you, the ghost of a hand on your shoulder that says 'I know. I understand'. I don't think there's another singer out there that feels this close to you while singing miles away and you feel you know them while never meeting them.
This song is so relatable to me. Every word digs deep into my heart and just forces me to keep listening. I can't help but cry a bit when I hear this song, but it's not in a way of sadness, but in a form of relief and release. Thank you Twenty One Pilots, you are truly a blessing.
in this song he’s holding onto what’s he’s got even though he doesn’t know what it means, i feel the same way because top lyrics are confusing to understand but i still hold on to them and listen to top everyday because they mean so much to me
it's just amazing to see how supportive the fans on here are of each other. it makes my heart warm to see a TøP fan bring another out of the depths of hell and back to life. 21 Pilots is something else, A powerful force that can unite a whole base of fans....
I listened to tøp’s music a lot last winter when I was going through a lot of stuff. Whenever I go back and listen to their stuff I have to stop because it doesn’t make me remember specifics of the trauma I went through but just the emotions I felt and with my current recovery feeling those emotions again send me back ten steps. Thank you tøp for helping me then but I can’t listen to you anymore.
No matter how many times I hear this songs, I start to cry. I mean, Twenty One Pilots is such a beautiful band, they've saved me so many times. Thank you, twenty one pilots. I really mean it, thank you.
I am muslim and Twenty one pilots is my life. I noticed that many of their songs are about Christians and god and stuff but the lyrics means a lot to me. Is this weird.. ?
UsE yoUr GLuteS Music is always up for interpretation, like other forms of art. It can mean something totally different to you, versus someone sitting next to you. I'm not a very religious person and I feel like I still relate well to the music. Stay Alive, Fren. |-/
UsE yoUr GLuteS no. See, jist because Tyler writed the lyrics to mean one thing, it doesnt mean you'll see it the same way as him. Also, from what (admittedly little :( ) knowledge i have on Islamic faith, it seems that it's the same very basic principles of Christianity
UsE yoUr GLuteS, nah, love and music are for everyone. If someone truly believes in the one true God then that person will acknowledge that we cannot understand His plan for anyone but ourselves, and only that through a lifetime of work and contemplation. I can't claim to understand His plan for you. I don't even understand His plan for me. It'd be pretty arrogant for me to condemn you under those circumstances. Let's just jam together and see what happens. Cool?
i used this song to cope with my dad's death. i was in a really dark place and i had no idea what was happening to me. now that i look back, it was all so scary. it got better, for a while. but 4 years later, here i am. i know nobody needs extra negativity but i don't think it ever really gets better. i think that's just something we tell ourselves till we sort of numb ourselves out of living. to the point of just existing.
To 12 year old me: it's okay to like twenty one pilots, and it's okay to think you're cringey for it. It's also okay if anyone would ever think you're cringey for it too, although no one who matters to you would ever think that. You're still a kid and that's okay and you'll become who you need to when the time comes. Just as long as you keep going, keep trying, and trust yourself to be able to make it through anything life throws your way, you'll find that everything isn't so bad. You deserve so much love and so much happiness, but for now, I'm glad you were able to find something to be so passionate about in the form of a band. Because you have so much passion, no matter what you tell yourself, and it's a wonderful thing. I am rooting for you, you are exactly who you need to be right now, and things DO get better. Because you make them better
It’s amazing to listen to this song and understand Tyler’s reason for these lyrics and reflect on them. I completely understand where he’s coming from. Being in a struggling relationship with god and fighting that battle of faith. This song holds so much more meaning to me now. It’s a beautiful representation of the frustrating emotions of not being “one” with god. I absolutely love it. It overwhelms me with emotion, being I have had the same struggles with my faith, like Tyler. So I want to thank him for expressing these complicated thoughts and emotions of struggling in ones faith. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank You Tyler
this song is, in so many ways, relatable and, in fact, describes some form of regret, or some guilt. it's hard to believe that someone else, who lives hundreds of miles away from me, and has never even met me, was able to put this into words.
I love how they incorporate religion into their songs until this day. No matter what you believe, It's great to hold something close that makes you feel safe :')
1:50- 2:16 is my favorite part. I love the drops of water in the background. Also, that part is super emotional if you think about what it could mean/what it means
I haven't been able to listen to the older tøp songs in a while, but I used to listen to them when I was down and to help me sleep. I took a break from listening to most of their stuff (incidentally, it was also the majority of the hiatus) and only really listened to newer blurryface stuff and a small amount of vessel stuff. It's probably safe to say that I've matured as a fan, or maybe changed, perhaps I'm better with emotions now or maybe I've lost the key to the room I locked them in (lmao oops) but anyway,, i now find these songs great for listening to in the background of doing homework and revision. Just goes to show how much of an important role these guys have on my life. Stay Street lmao
i haven't been feeling my best lately, and when i feel down and like doing bad things to myself, i listen to their old songs and read the comments. it always makes me feel 100 times worse but also gives me another reason to cry.
...hm...it’s been so long and I’m revisiting this song, so many memories and emotions are flooding back that this song and many others helped me go through a rlly rlly dark time. Thank you Tyler and Josh. For keeping me alive, and making me realize..it is worth it. I made it. I defeated my demons.
I've been part of the clique for only a week or two now, and this is the first time of me hearing this song.. At 2:40, the "you hear me screaming father", I cried. I cried so much. My father.. He was never there for me. I mean, he is alive and well, but he, the father that I needed was NEVER there. My mother always was the mother and father in one for me. SHE was there for me when I was bullied in school. SHE was there for me when I had trouble with finding myself and who I am. SHE was there from me when they divorced. SHE was there for me when my father diapeared for half a year. SHE was there when I was depressed, cutting and hating myself for the cry baby that I was. But HE? What did HE do? Nothing. He did absolutely NOTHING. Only trying to get my little sister (who was six at the moment, and I was fucking 12) and me to hate the woman who gave birth to me. When I was in the deepest point of my life, crying and wishing to die, he wasn't there for me. He didn't care, and still doesn't. He only cares for money. Not for his childeren. Now, here I am. A fourteen year old teen rambling on a comment section of a video on UA-cam. Why am I telling you people this? I'll tell you all why: Guys, be grateful that you have parents, especially dads in this case. Who love you, care for you, ect. Because I didn't have one. Thankfull enough, I have the most loving steph-dad I could ever wish for. I am finally happy after all those years. Be gratefull for what you have, frens. Stay alive |-/
This is my favourite song ever... I know it has a meaning itself but i made it mean something to me. I am an addict with a pen. Whenever i feel sad or low or even don't know how i feel i would just grab a piece of paper and start writing song lyrics or draw something or just write what is on my mind. Whether its my anxiety transformed into words or a drawing or just thoughts that i want to get off my mind i would just write it. "Some see a pen, i see a harpoon" is also a very important quote to me (ode to sleep used to be my favourite until i discovered this song aye). This song... every word... every sound... the way he pronounces the words... they mean something to me and make me so emotional. I love this song.
Normal ppl will take hours, days, weeks, months, -years- to figure out what Tyler and these lyrics mean... but us it only takes the first second to feel what he means. Stay alive frens |-/
bold of you to assume any of us know what he's talking about. I'm terrible at interpreting music most of the time. I can feel the emotions though and that's all you need
There's a greek mythology of sisyphus where he push a boulder to the top of a mountain just to see it falls down again, he keep repeating that for eternity. As philosopher Albert camus said "one must imagine sisyphus was happy"
I'm a newcomer I guess that's what people call people that are new to tøp? Ive been listening to them to a month now and I understand why people love them so much. The first song I saw by them was ruby and I listened to that a lot. I didn't know what band it was so I looked it up and I found more of their songs. Their lyrics are so relatable and like nothing Ive heard before. I'm so happy I found that one song. Ive been listening to this song a lot recently. Its my fave. Ive been facing really tough times lately and this song makes me feel so much better. I can hear how passionate tøp are about their music and it makes me feel better to see a band so dedicated to their music. I don't know if this makes any sense lol. Maybe someone will see it
Lyrics // Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons Hello I've been traveling in The desert of my mind And I Haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water Water I try desperately to run through the sand As I hold the water In the palm of my hand Cause it's all that I have And it's all that I need and The waves of the water Mean nothing to me But I try my best And all that I can to Hold tightly onto What's left in my hand But no matter how How tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down And the water will drain I'm just being dramatic In fact, I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen Who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth Mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again See you tomorrow But it's the end of today End of my ways As a walking denial My trial was filed as a crazy Suicidal head case But you specialize in dying You hear me screaming, "Father," And I'm lying here just crying So wash me with your water Water Hello We haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best Of sons Hello I've been traveling in The desert of my mind And I I haven't found a drop Of life I haven't found a drop Of you I haven't found a drop I haven't found a drop Of water // sorry if any of this is wrong ilysm, stay strong
I'm going through a rough time right now and I keep playing this. I relate to this in a way. Everyone interprets this or any song, in their own way to understand it and I'm so attached to how I view it. I honestly wish I could thank all my favourite bands/artists for creating such great music and for helping anyone go through anything
Who else just goes on a spree of listening to their old songs?

So is Tyler
I remember when I was first getting into them. And this hit me so hard with his beautiful voice and piano honestly, I just love Tyler (and Josh but he still hadn't joined the band yet when this song came out)

I really love the lyric:
"I'm just being dramatic - in fact, I'm only at it again, as an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind... Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today"
At first I didn't really understand what they meant, but after I figured out what it means (at least to me) it's such a powerful lyric
What does it mean to u fren?
+gabbi h To me, it means that even though some pain may be temporary, it still hurts, and that's okay. He keeps finding himself stuck on the same pain, same problems. It's neither the first, not the last time he'll feel this way, and even though he knows it's not the end of the world, he can still recognise and accept that it hurts. It's still the end of today.
It's hard to explain in so many words, but that's more or less how I understand it. Thanks for asking |-/
that is such a powerfull sentence.

I believe in Beezus, music is my religion 👍
You mean his parents m8
There is only one God and is Jesus Christ and he brought our hero Tyler
I wish I found out about his music earlier. Amazing stuff
When u get a call that yo ex went to jail it’s a Christian song. I guess you knew that
*turns it up so it echoes inside my head*
If this didn't have background music it would kinda sound like a slam poem
True.
Actually their songs are pure poetry(to me anyways)

I have the answer to his happiness, its Jesus. that's all he needs. that's all anyone needs.
I write poems when I'm really sad.
Ever since I discovered Twenty One Pilots, I haven't written a poem.
Omg same

did tyler steal your pen? :(

Good idea
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.
MistyEyedDragon maybe you need prescription glasses? I could recommend a few places..

I think wster represents his life and he desperately tries to hold on to it even if life has no meaning to him.
Imo, water represents his faith with God, he can feel it slipping and he tries desperately to hold on to his faith.
"You hear me screaming, Father. And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water." It's biblical. Christian. Tyler is Christian.
@library of dragons Chlorine is more about taking time to cleanse yourself of all the bad stuff you have inside and coming back stronger than ever. "When I leave don't save my seat, I'll be back when it's all complete. The moment is medical"
Let it be. Music is about what it means to you. Not everyone is gonna come to this song and know verses from the Bible and what not. Yes that may be the true meaning but the same song can have several meanings. Maybe he means both. I respect your religion and I’m not coming at you! ☺️❤️

I met the most beautiful girl at school a couple of weeks ago because she had a taster day, and we became close because we both love top and other bands. I got a crush on her instantly.
Unfortunately she's not going to move to my school, and I chickened out so I never got her number, either. She doesn't have any social media as well.
I'm missing her a lot now because I remember she said that she loved this song.
I love her
I hope you find her
Thank you, that really means a lot to me
:( x
Other than the fact that I want to slightly slap you for chickening out i really hope you guys run into each other again :)
I hope you find her soon
this song is so deep the ocean is jealous
It's weird listening to a song that you once cried to and now you respect with your whole heart. So many memories
Too real man
Love the aesthetic of your lyric videos. My only constructive criticism is that you should thicken the black border of the lyrics for this one so that they're easier to read.
Honestly, I could read it perfectly fine. If +astrojace were to do that, then it's just look weird. ot hating or anything, but honestly, it looks perfectly fine how it is! ^~^
it would look cool with the arial + bold + italics font.
+Lyric Miox I can't see it at all really, I'm on mobile
Ah. Maybe it's different due to different things, yeah?

it says "wash me with your water" not watch me with your water
+Zack Winn almost ruptured my eardrums going over it, but yeah in reviewing the lyrics i definitely hear a more pronounced "shh" rather than "tch". i'll make note of this in the description, thank you!
+astrojace and it makes a lot more sense
description
+I'm a prø at imperfectiøns nice username
no, it is watch me with your water because this song is about God and how tyler is distant from him because he hasn't been the best of sons and he's now in a desert and needs water but God has the water and won't give it to him so he's just watching him with the water. it doesn't mean use the water to watch him, he's telling god to watch him whilst he has the water.. like if you're at the movies with popcorn, you're watching with your popcorn
Tyler, youre an angel. Thank God, you exist. Thank you. You dont know how much you help people through the things of life. You help them get through the pain of living that sometimes hit us hard. Thank you for building Twenty One Pilots!
Honestly though, this relates way too much to me. My dad just went missing, and all i've been doing is crying really
went missing? omg that's horrible did you find him? is he ok?
I wish you luck and I hope you find your dad if you haven't already. Be safe, stay safe.
I hope you find him, no one deserves this
thank you all for the support. We found him and we're back as a family :)
YAY! I hope that you hugged him and cried when you saw him again! Stay alive fren:)
the images you put in the background are so pleasing
I think I'm hallucinating bc I see the water moving
omfg me too we're high
+emo kitten dark lord Ik I can't even see the water not moving
It isn't moving?
+Sophie Cooper IDK!
Its not
Two years ago today Nov.12th my Father died. I was 15. This song... just... I don't even know. I am an extremely thick skinned person. I have always avoided my emotions. I can't even explain the emotions this song helps me get out. I know I haven't been the best of sons but I Love my father. I wish so badly I could have said that to him one more time. Please don't take for granted what you have. Go tell tell your father you love him and Stay Alive |-/

"I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen"
"Some see a pen i see a harpoon"
"Who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend"
Oh wait a minute....
Micaela Camp i dont get it
@@LaguBudakKuching i know this is late, but what he means i think is that he is an addict with a pen, and he thinks of the pen as a harpoon because these lyrics are deep and can make people cry/feel emotional
@@leontrotsky8879 ahhhh okay thanks!
@@LaguBudakKuching no prob
relatble, but al their songs are, right?
definitely.
Notttt for meeeeeeee I just like the sound but I'm not depressed. I love TOP tho
RozilandTheNerd8 I was gonna make a BE concerned reference but YA KNOW
yh I really relate to coconut coconut sharks in the water
Phils Eyelash same
I come back to these songs often but… I hope everyone from this comment section is alive & well.
Let's not give Tyler a pen
R u crazy? I believe that if Tyler didn't write songs he would be dead now
+nota Fousteri No I meant... Nvm
+nota Fousteri you'll understand when you see ode to sleep...
+Simply UA-cam Ode to sleep is one of my favourite songs. I mean, he writes songs to take off all the sadness from inside him.
+Simply UA-cam please explain
every song has its own meaning, its yours to determine. that being said, when he says "im just being dramatic, in fact, im only at it again as an addict with a pen whos addicted to the wind as it blows me back and forth mindless, spineless, and pretend, of course I'll see you again but it's the end of today end of my ways as a walking denial my trail was filed as a crazy suicidal head case" my stomach drops. I hear it as someone who can't let go things that hurt them because of how fragile they are. they pretend to have let go of it and that "its the end of today" so there's new beginnings but in reality they just know they won't be taken seriously and their pain will be diminished because people think they're just "dramatic".
i understand that feeling, having so little left that the smallest things set you off and you know people don't understand. when you go back to thinking abt the same shit everyday because it's stings. especially when "the only thing you have" is the reason you're hurting. being "addicted to the wind" or as I see it, that pain because you're usually numb so atleast you're feeling something. this song makes me want to scream because that fits so perfectly.
I'm only at it again as an addict with a harpoon
CC Dances omg
IKR! Some see a pen i see a harpoon |-/
CC Dances 👏
I GOT THIS JOKE AND I ONLY STARTED LISTENING TO TØP LITERALLY TONIGHT AND I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELD
Loner City Art plz listen too glowing eyes, lovely, ruby, clear, TB saga, coconut coconut sharks in the water, and like every album.
Honestly, when I heard this song, I just felt something move inside of me, and I just love twenty one pilots, they've changed my life so much and ugh THE FEELS
"Addict with a pen"
Hello
We haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I
Haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you, I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water
Water
I try desperately to run through the sand
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I try my best and all that I can
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father"
And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water
Water
Hello
I haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I
I haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you
I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water
This song holds a strong place in my heart. It simbolises to me, not God, but the person Tyler refers to is inspiration or motivation. As a writer and artist myself, I know how hard it is to find inspo, and to not procrastinate. So now I listen to and write stories and draw stuff about twenty one pilots. It helps me
Every time I listen to 21 pilots I just- *feel* things and I find myself trying to pinpoint what makes their songs so special to me. The best I've come to explain it is that every song feels so very... personal. While that is stating the obvious, it's wholly different from any other singers out there who make you relate to their songs.
Feels like Tyler is actually right beside you, the ghost of a hand on your shoulder that says 'I know. I understand'. I don't think there's another singer out there that feels this close to you while singing miles away and you feel you know them while never meeting them.
If you just put this song and 'trees' together on a loop, you can be prepared to cry like a baby for a day and come back like... all new :3
Tomy Marquez and truce
6am and be prepared to cry out your life away
I wasn't ready to get emotional 😖😫😩
the first time i've cried bc of a song
Jeremy Curle go listen to drown by Tyler Joseph. you'll cry more.
Not being mean but I dont understand why people cries bc of twenty one pilots song? Im curious :3
Go try TB Saga then you'll know what crying really is
i didnt cry
CycloneNation if you really didn't cry then you have something wrong with you, or you're a satanist/aethiest
the piano is beautiful in this song
he should get a glass of water from his kitchen sink
and you don't know what that means, because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to him.
Shut up
*no*
Toproforugames dad who gave you the right

This song is helping me in the struggle of my addictions.every day is a a true test.thank u
You Tyler and josh for the encouragement .madd love
"wash me with your water" .... is this a christian song? tyler Did you made a christian song again? Did you? (lol)
yes its a Christian song, like most of their song, but u new that, right?
it's *knew but you knew that right
+Jesse Gomez of course i know that, i was joking. |-/
of COURSE I knew that what do think I'm am, an uneducated idiot, hahaha...ha...=(

i havent listened to this in years and honestly, it makes me cry every single time.
This song is so relatable to me. Every word digs deep into my heart and just forces me to keep listening. I can't help but cry a bit when I hear this song, but it's not in a way of sadness, but in a form of relief and release. Thank you Twenty One Pilots, you are truly a blessing.
in this song he’s holding onto what’s he’s got even though he doesn’t know what it means, i feel the same way because top lyrics are confusing to understand but i still hold on to them and listen to top everyday because they mean so much to me
I'm not crazy… that waters moving
im crying i see it to and i feel like im going insane
Are we all crazy then?
It's an illusion
I listened to this to fall asleep but I ended up crying all night good job Tyler I love it
I always feel like I'm melting into the music whenever I hear this song.
it's just amazing to see how supportive the fans on here are of each other. it makes my heart warm to see a TøP fan bring another out of the depths of hell and back to life. 21 Pilots is something else, A powerful force that can unite a whole base of fans....
I listened to tøp’s music a lot last winter when I was going through a lot of stuff. Whenever I go back and listen to their stuff I have to stop because it doesn’t make me remember specifics of the trauma I went through but just the emotions I felt and with my current recovery feeling those emotions again send me back ten steps. Thank you tøp for helping me then but I can’t listen to you anymore.
No matter how many times I hear this songs, I start to cry. I mean, Twenty One Pilots is such a beautiful band, they've saved me so many times. Thank you, twenty one pilots. I really mean it, thank you.
I am muslim and Twenty one pilots is my life. I noticed that many of their songs are about Christians and god and stuff but the lyrics means a lot to me.
Is this weird.. ?
UsE yoUr GLuteS Music is always up for interpretation, like other forms of art. It can mean something totally different to you, versus someone sitting next to you. I'm not a very religious person and I feel like I still relate well to the music. Stay Alive, Fren. |-/
Same here.. I'm from algeria
UsE yoUr GLuteS no. See, jist because Tyler writed the lyrics to mean one thing, it doesnt mean you'll see it the same way as him. Also, from what (admittedly little :( ) knowledge i have on Islamic faith, it seems that it's the same very basic principles of Christianity
UsE yoUr GLuteS, nah, love and music are for everyone. If someone truly believes in the one true God then that person will acknowledge that we cannot understand His plan for anyone but ourselves, and only that through a lifetime of work and contemplation. I can't claim to understand His plan for you. I don't even understand His plan for me. It'd be pretty arrogant for me to condemn you under those circumstances. Let's just jam together and see what happens. Cool?
Nah bruh
You're good☺😊
i used this song to cope with my dad's death. i was in a really dark place and i had no idea what was happening to me. now that i look back, it was all so scary.
it got better, for a while. but 4 years later, here i am. i know nobody needs extra negativity but i don't think it ever really gets better. i think that's just something we tell ourselves till we sort of numb ourselves out of living. to the point of just existing.
They have so many songs I haven't listened to yet!! How have I been calling myself a die hard fan?!
Same here
It pains me how non-mainstream this is
Saying it's underrated is an understatement
The emotional content of his voice is haunting, to sing like that is a gift
I love when he sings water like long form and his accent, love it
but this song means a lot. Stay alive frens II - // 2019 anyone?
To 12 year old me: it's okay to like twenty one pilots, and it's okay to think you're cringey for it. It's also okay if anyone would ever think you're cringey for it too, although no one who matters to you would ever think that.
You're still a kid and that's okay and you'll become who you need to when the time comes. Just as long as you keep going, keep trying, and trust yourself to be able to make it through anything life throws your way, you'll find that everything isn't so bad.
You deserve so much love and so much happiness, but for now, I'm glad you were able to find something to be so passionate about in the form of a band. Because you have so much passion, no matter what you tell yourself, and it's a wonderful thing.
I am rooting for you, you are exactly who you need to be right now, and things DO get better. Because you make them better
😭😭
It’s amazing to listen to this song and understand Tyler’s reason for these lyrics and reflect on them. I completely understand where he’s coming from. Being in a struggling relationship with god and fighting that battle of faith. This song holds so much more meaning to me now. It’s a beautiful representation of the frustrating emotions of not being “one” with god. I absolutely love it. It overwhelms me with emotion, being I have had the same struggles with my faith, like Tyler. So I want to thank him for expressing these complicated thoughts and emotions of struggling in ones faith. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank You Tyler
this song is, in so many ways, relatable and, in fact, describes some form of regret, or some guilt. it's hard to believe that someone else, who lives hundreds of miles away from me, and has never even met me, was able to put this into words.
I love how they incorporate religion into their songs until this day. No matter what you believe, It's great to hold something close that makes you feel safe :')
1:50- 2:16 is my favorite part. I love the drops of water in the background. Also, that part is super emotional if you think about what it could mean/what it means
I just started randomly shaking my booty to this song now I'm laughing. why must I do things?
Sydney bean do u like Star Wars? Cuz if u do, then the force Sydney, it makes u listen to these songs and stuff. Also Josh is hot and u know it😘
Saw your comment under the PINOF 8 with bloopers video yesterday.
Kat McB I am famous
syd g stop making me laugh lmfao
the picture they paint in the second verse is just incredible. especially as the track builds...amazing
This song hits me before it even starts playing lol
Jesus Christ these comments are old. It makes me sad. I still remember crying to this exact video and four years later, I still am.
I haven't been able to listen to the older tøp songs in a while, but I used to listen to them when I was down and to help me sleep. I took a break from listening to most of their stuff (incidentally, it was also the majority of the hiatus) and only really listened to newer blurryface stuff and a small amount of vessel stuff. It's probably safe to say that I've matured as a fan, or maybe changed, perhaps I'm better with emotions now or maybe I've lost the key to the room I locked them in (lmao oops) but anyway,, i now find these songs great for listening to in the background of doing homework and revision. Just goes to show how much of an important role these guys have on my life. Stay Street lmao
i haven't been feeling my best lately, and when i feel down and like doing bad things to myself, i listen to their old songs and read the comments. it always makes me feel 100 times worse but also gives me another reason to cry.
Same here.
the background fits so perfectly with the song. great job!!!!!
...hm...it’s been so long and I’m revisiting this song, so many memories and emotions are flooding back that this song and many others helped me go through a rlly rlly dark time. Thank you Tyler and Josh. For keeping me alive, and making me realize..it is worth it. I made it. I defeated my demons.
whenever Tyler says 'water' it sounds like he's saying 'Walter'
Tyler: Makes this amazing song
Also Tyler: BEEF AND CHEESE BEEF AND CHEESE AND LETTUCEEE!!!!
I've been part of the clique for only a week or two now, and this is the first time of me hearing this song.. At 2:40, the "you hear me screaming father", I cried. I cried so much.
My father.. He was never there for me. I mean, he is alive and well, but he, the father that I needed was NEVER there. My mother always was the mother and father in one for me. SHE was there for me when I was bullied in school. SHE was there for me when I had trouble with finding myself and who I am. SHE was there from me when they divorced. SHE was there for me when my father diapeared for half a year. SHE was there when I was depressed, cutting and hating myself for the cry baby that I was.
But HE? What did HE do?
Nothing. He did absolutely NOTHING. Only trying to get my little sister (who was six at the moment, and I was fucking 12) and me to hate the woman who gave birth to me.
When I was in the deepest point of my life, crying and wishing to die, he wasn't there for me. He didn't care, and still doesn't. He only cares for money. Not for his childeren.
Now, here I am. A fourteen year old teen rambling on a comment section of a video on UA-cam. Why am I telling you people this? I'll tell you all why:
Guys, be grateful that you have parents, especially dads in this case. Who love you, care for you, ect. Because I didn't have one. Thankfull enough, I have the most loving steph-dad I could ever wish for. I am finally happy after all those years.
Be gratefull for what you have, frens.
Stay alive |-/
i love that tone change of the piano at 4:20. Its beautiful and i just love it.
This is my favourite song ever... I know it has a meaning itself but i made it mean something to me. I am an addict with a pen. Whenever i feel sad or low or even don't know how i feel i would just grab a piece of paper and start writing song lyrics or draw something or just write what is on my mind. Whether its my anxiety transformed into words or a drawing or just thoughts that i want to get off my mind i would just write it. "Some see a pen, i see a harpoon" is also a very important quote to me (ode to sleep used to be my favourite until i discovered this song aye). This song... every word... every sound... the way he pronounces the words... they mean something to me and make me so emotional.
I love this song.
Normal ppl will take hours, days, weeks, months, -years- to figure out what Tyler and these lyrics mean... but us it only takes the first second to feel what he means. Stay alive frens |-/
bold of you to assume any of us know what he's talking about. I'm terrible at interpreting music most of the time. I can feel the emotions though and that's all you need
There's a greek mythology of sisyphus where he push a boulder to the top of a mountain just to see it falls down again, he keep repeating that for eternity.
As philosopher Albert camus said "one must imagine sisyphus was happy"
I'm a newcomer I guess that's what people call people that are new to tøp? Ive been listening to them to a month now and I understand why people love them so much. The first song I saw by them was ruby and I listened to that a lot. I didn't know what band it was so I looked it up and I found more of their songs. Their lyrics are so relatable and like nothing Ive heard before. I'm so happy I found that one song. Ive been listening to this song a lot recently. Its my fave. Ive been facing really tough times lately and this song makes me feel so much better. I can hear how passionate tøp are about their music and it makes me feel better to see a band so dedicated to their music. I don't know if this makes any sense lol. Maybe someone will see it
idk how to describe that this perfectly sums up my life rn
This video needs to hit 1 billion views
Lyrics //
Hello
We haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons
Hello
I've been traveling in
The desert of my mind
And I
Haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you
I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water
Water
I try desperately to run through the sand
As I hold the water
In the palm of my hand
Cause it's all that I have
And it's all that I need and
The waves of the water
Mean nothing to me
But I try my best
And all that I can to
Hold tightly onto
What's left in my hand
But no matter how
How tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down
And the water will drain
I'm just being dramatic
In fact,
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy
Suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying
You hear me screaming, "Father,"
And I'm lying here just crying
So wash me with your water
Water
Hello
We haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons
Hello
I've been traveling in
The desert of my mind
And I
I haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you
I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water
// sorry if any of this is wrong ilysm, stay strong
So.... the background is a water. The title is 'Addict With A Pen'. Um... PJO anybody?
why did you say something like that omg now I will never be able to look to this video in another way
LittleStone Heart MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
RIPTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PJO?
"I haven't found a drop of water" and you put an ocean in the background.
XD
I'm going through a rough time right now and I keep playing this. I relate to this in a way. Everyone interprets this or any song, in their own way to understand it and I'm so attached to how I view it. I honestly wish I could thank all my favourite bands/artists for creating such great music and for helping anyone go through anything
This song just relaxes me and lets me think about things that I need to start doing to better myself and others.
