A "pride" of lions is essentially like a "pack" of wolves, or a family unit. So "lean on my pride" could actually mean Tyler leaning on others because when he goes astray he ends up "cutting his lip" on things he knows he shouldn't do. It's written in an unorthodox way because "lean on my pride" and "I'm a lion" are both statements of self-pride. But put together, they actually mean something totally different, depending on your interpretation of the word "pride". It's a beautiful verse because you can accurately interpret it multiple ways, especially how it relates to the other lyrics in the song.
Deep favorite. SO fire. So to WARN you: Bandito is hauntingly beautiful. Pet Cheetah is DIFFERENT but best banger next to Cut My Lip. Leave the City hauntingly haunting.
Cut my lip is one of my favorite songs because of the instrumental. That very last part where the instrumental plays while the echo says "might as well" is like a caress on my face. Bandito is next, the clique anthem🎉
Cut my lip is easily in my top 10 for them it’s such a vibe and that BASSLINE…..just wait for pet cheetah👀 when I heard that for the first time in 2018 my whole life was changed💀
Everything sounds like it’s supposed to be there- and it wasn’t written by a formula by a committee of song-writers and producers! Tyler is a genius! You should see him play and mix this one live in the Storyteller session from Brooklyn!
The awesome thing about twenty one pilots is their music can be interpreted in so many ways, none of them “wrong.” They write very intentionally that way, they’re true artists.
Here is my 5 tracks from Trench. Chlorine, My Blood, Cut My Lip, Pet Cheetah, Leave The City. It is really hard to pick only 5 from an album that is practically perfect.
"Lean on my pride, I'm a lion." Triple entendre. Lean on my literal pride, like I don't need help, but a group of lions is also called a "Pride." So I gotta lean on my family/friends/fans (my people). Those same people are the pride of my life and the manifestation of my labors! 🤯 Nobody does it like TØP. Brilliant!
think this is the first TOP song you got up and danced to. But it also makes me think you'll really enjoy Scaled and Icy... so many instruments and much dancier (if thats a word) and upbeat.
Bandito I think I next. There's a part where he sings Sahlo Folina. You'll have heard that in Overcompensate but this is where it came from. Bandito is another masterclass. Get yourself ready. You've been warned (but probably not enough)
Warn you??? & miss these awesome reactions???? Yeah, Nah!!!! Cut my lip #1 for me, so relate to this one. The best thing is after all this you gotta get through all the ‘session’ versions of all these songs & you’re gonna just go through all this again 😂. Bandito..💛🌼🌼, then you ain’t ready for Pet Cheetah 🐆
Yes, yes, and more yes!! This is TOP tier for me. I was so drawn to the lyrics and the music is just chef's kiss. Now, the Storyteller Performance version - DJ, you're not ready for that!! It's icing on the cake. You won't be able to contain yourself! You think you love these songs... well, prepare to be completly unable to chose a favorite ever again! There's your warning. I would suggest finishing up this album then doing the Storyteller Performance of Tyler playing his reimagined Trench songs live. 💯🔥 (And you'll have another meltdown opportunity with the mtvunplugged after you do Scaled and Icy.) 🔥🥰 Great reaction! This one's a repeater fs. Oh, there's also a piano only version of this, too. And "lean on my pride," well, that's us, the Clique aka the Banditos 😉 If you go back through some of their songs you've already done you'll pick up on some pride/lion themes, especially Migraine and this one. And he's wearing a lion shirt in Guns for Hands. Can't wait!!!!!! ❤|-/💛
Love your reaction. I can only say again, I can't wait until you react to the live versions. Different ones of the same song. Only with his piano. So beautiful
This song helped me push through difficult times. Having to do things that were harmful to me, but nevertheless had to be done. But thankfully I had my people to help me get through it. I think you missed my favorite line. "I don't mind at all, lean on my pride, lean on my pride, I'm a lion" It's my favorite because I knew I couldn't get through without my people. They were everything to me in those moments.
does anyone else like making predictions of what you think Rich will pick as his top five? He’s been loving this album and i know he’s loved Morph, My Blood and Cut My Lip a lot so i predict those will be in his top 5 songs
I am constantly looking for reaction videos to this song to be able to experience what it was like to listen to it for the first time again. Thank you for this.
Hats off to Paul Meaney of MuteMath. TØP did a collab with them and Paul was a big producer for Trench and Clancy. The two bands are very close friends.
@D. Rich after you finish up Trench, you need to check out "LEVEL OF CONCERN" which was filmed like in 2020...but I think you missed this gem. It's a total vibe.
OK, the next one will be my favourite song from Trench, maybe my favourite over all. I hope you'll enjoy BANDITO. You're listening to TRENCH. Forget your rule.

I felt your Cut my Lip dancing in my soul 🥰!! I love watching you enjoy them so much!! Much ❤️!!!

It’s not leaning on yourself. Lean on your pride-family, squad, friends…the Clique
Also, pride is a collective noun for lions 😊
And more literally the click is his pride, and he saying that we can lean on each other
This is one of my favorites! I think you will really love the Brooklyn sessions version of this, would love to see a reaction to it as well.
Man busted out the dance moves at the end😭

We all knew you'd love this one, and like you said, it's on a whole other level. Great reaction 🖤💛
It’s my favorite!!!!🌼🌼🌼 now Cut My Lip Brooklyn Sessions
I second this!! Cut My Lip (Brooklyn) is just as beautiful as the original
Yeah he has to!
Yes. The whole Brooklyn session is 30 minutes of Tyler showing his genius, live. Pure gold!
🙌🏻
Yessssss
Tyler tells one story with his lyrics, one story with his singing, one story with his music, and a story in his videos. Perfection
The awesome thing about twenty one pilots is their music can be interpreted in so many ways, none of them “wrong.” They write very intentionally that way, they’re true artists.
This is my second favorite off Trench only behind Pet Cheetah. You'll love Pet Cheetah, its so different and awesome!
Here is my 5 tracks from Trench. Chlorine, My Blood, Cut My Lip, Pet Cheetah, Leave The City. It is really hard to pick only 5 from an album that is practically perfect.
The live performances of this are so beautiful, when Tyler lets the crowd take over singing & gets super emotional about it. ❤
next up is Bandito! they actually interpolated this song in Overcompensate
"Lean on my pride, I'm a lion." Triple entendre. Lean on my literal pride, like I don't need help, but a group of lions is also called a "Pride." So I gotta lean on my family/friends/fans (my people). Those same people are the pride of my life and the manifestation of my labors! 🤯 Nobody does it like TØP. Brilliant!
This song always a tear jerker so happy you liked it :))
think this is the first TOP song you got up and danced to. But it also makes me think you'll really enjoy Scaled and Icy... so many instruments and much dancier (if thats a word) and upbeat.
Bandito I think I next.
There's a part where he sings Sahlo Folina. You'll have heard that in Overcompensate but this is where it came from.
Bandito is another masterclass. Get yourself ready. You've been warned (but probably not enough)
It's impossible not to dance to, change my mind.
Warn you??? & miss these awesome reactions???? Yeah, Nah!!!! Cut my lip #1 for me, so relate to this one.
The best thing is after all this you gotta get through all the ‘session’ versions of all these songs & you’re gonna just go through all this again 😂.
Bandito..💛🌼🌼, then you ain’t ready for Pet Cheetah 🐆
one of my favorites off the record. put lyrics ("Know I'll keep movin") from it on my graduation cap
I love this one. It’s in my top 5 Trench tracks.
back to back videos this morning 🔥🔥
Thank you for giving this band a chance, loving the reactions!
Yes, yes, and more yes!! This is TOP tier for me. I was so drawn to the lyrics and the music is just chef's kiss. Now, the Storyteller Performance version - DJ, you're not ready for that!!

yes this song is crazy, one of my favs!
I was waiting for you to react to Cut My Lip. One of my favorites from Trench! Glad you enjoyed it just as much as we do 😄💛💛

I think of this as their "sexy song". I love this one

Oh man, Bandito up next
My top 5 are
Jumpsuit
Morph
Chlorine
My Blood
NATN/Bandito for a tie
Hell they are all great! You can’t choose
👌🏼
Love the reactions! You should react to "Igor' by Tyler, the Creator. If you like this I'm sure you will like this album.
welp, officially one month till i am clancy drops and you still got Scaled and Icy
Don’t worry we will be through both albums lol🤘🏾
Lol, you're so screwed with "Bandito" and "Pet Cheetah" as the next 2... LeBron is gonna be flying methinks.
Listen to nico and the niners music video
Actually, this is one of my least favorite of their songs.
That said, i have yet to hear a song of theirs that i didn't like.
PET CHEETAH GOES CRAZY IM WARNING U NOW
