Both Tyler and Josh have Christian backgrounds. There are Christian references littered all over their music, especially in Vessel. Please check out more of their work. They are doing great work and it's awesome to know that they help so many people through the music, including me. I suggest checking at Trees, Holding Onto You and Ode to Sleep
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m a Christian so it’s fascinating to hear this for that reason, but it’s also neat because it shows just how incredible Tyler’s writing is. Because everything your dad said applies to the song but it also has universal meaning for non Christian listeners too
Tori Phillips I’m so glad you liked it. My dad enjoys doing these with me because I think it’s a way for him to share some of his beliefs in a way that people can understand (he can be confusing😂)
Jumpsuit - Armor of God. Ephesians 6: 10-18 (NIV) The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
this actually gave me chills. My friends mom once said in passing that "bands like twenty one pilots are directing our children to lead lives that lead to death (death like sin)." I am a big TOP fan and a Christian, so I really wanted to hear her perspective on it. The amount of pure negligence for the lyrics and background of the song she showed... and once she found out, she was very upset with me (I'm close to this friend, we see each other often). I decided to try to pump the brakes and find out exactly what had her thinking it was "devil music." No matter how hard I try, she thinks that they have an appearance that directly means that they are devil worshipers. Nevermind the power of the lyrics. This gave me hope that maybe she can draw parallels like it. Thanks
@@isaacherod5526 On youtube, search "are twenty one pilots christian" and you'll find some interviews where tyler explicitly talks about his faith and God.
I know, but she doesnt want to invest any time in these things. There have been many times we've dug into it. She will not listen to any points. For petes sake, she calls upon Heathens (the title of which was derived from a biblical term!!!) as her sole argument of how devilish they are!
I think the term “jumpsuit” represents the Holy Spirit. It guides him and covers him. “Trench” is a metaphor for living on earth- in a war zone and being aware that he doesn’t belong in this place. But just needs to survive until he gets to heaven- escapes the war. In regards to the others in rebel clothes and dropping yellow petals on him- I think that represents other believers who are also covered by the Spirit and pouring love and hope onto him. The way fellow believers build each other up and encourage each other through our struggles.
Trench is not a metaphor for earth. Tyler explained in an interview that Trench is meant to symbolize being in between two places or two tought or two parts of your life. It's not really a place where you stay, you pass trough it and maybe multiple times (you can fall back in your depression or have multiple difficult moments in your life), like you can actually watch the clips of Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners and Levitate as a loop: you're in a bad place, you escape, you are recovering, you fall back into bad place, you escape again, ... and so on until you actually get out of the bad place (Dema) and you get past Trench. I don't think it's about getting away from earth getting to heaven, it's more about overcoming your problems and insecurities, escaping from earth and getting to heaving sounds way to much like suicide to me and I don't believe that's the message he want to send....
@@bramcarlier39 What you described about trench being in between two places fits perfectly with the the spiritual battlefield that is living on earth as a christian.
This is sooooo cool. I’m a Christian and a die-hard twenty one pilots fam, and I’ve always loved how they put their Christian beliefs into their music. ❤️ Makes it so personal and real
I'm with your dad there. I only listened to worship songs; the deeper, the better. These two dudes came along and blew my socks off!!! Now I don't bother listening to anything but worship and tøp and I know every last word of all tøp and New Albany's stuff (or nearly so, let's be honest). I'm always interested in hearing a Christian's perspective on the music, lyrics, videos and what the symbolism is. I believe Tyler is a genius and I've eaten his music for over a year and a half and I'm a bigger fan than my teens. When I first started listening, my daughter had handed me her BF and Trench CDs and told me to be aware that these were a story line. So I listened for that. By the end of listening to Trench for the first time I thought, "This isn't a 'story'. This is a journey!" I still had no idea what I was in for. I'm one of their biggest fans and I can't wait to meet all of them and, now your Dad. I know you say you're not a Christian. From someone who has explored both sides of life, let me tell you, there is only one side to life, and it's not dressed in red. The red is war and that war is for your soul. Praying for you, my dear.
Beckah Shaye - listen to your Dad... he knows what he's talking about. His insight was pretty spot on. I am a hopeless TØP stan and I am close to your Dad's age. I'll be going to see them in November. It would be very cool if you could introduce him to some of their other stuff. Thanks to both you and your Dad for this video. ||-//
It’s awesome that you can talk with your dad about Tyler’s music. My parents also religious but some of Tyler’s lyrics can easy be misinterpreted so I’m not sure I would feel as comfortable sharing
I recently attended the 21 Pilots concert in Denver. This is the 7th time I’ve seen them. Every concert ends with the song, Trees. I would like to get your take on that song Richard
Very interesting thoughts. Just for the record, Taylor has a Christian background, so I am sure there is no coincidence with both the symbolism they use and as you said, the subtle messages they transmit. I think your dad should check some other songs.
Your Dad is wise. I know we tend to go against what parents say but always listen and keep in mind what your father has to say. You ever listen to NF? He's a Christian and a Rapper. His music is super deep about Depression, Anxiety, Fears and most things TOP raps/sings about.
The jumpsuit is Christ in our lives when the darkness closes in. We can always fall back on Christ as our jumpsuit. When the devil tries to tear us down when he breaks our bodies beyond fixing, God still holds us up whenever we need him.
I understand the fathers point of view, but in the reverse. I stopped listening to 21 pilots as soon as I found out the were worship music, as I stick to only secular music and I don’t agree with underlying agendas. So actually we are both sticking to our convictions. Respect.
The Jumpsuit represents love, in a world full of hate. Right before Tyler sings spirits in my room friend or foe, the video flashes to a scene in a Church- Cathedral, with him raising his hands in worship. Your Christian dad knows, i hope you are Christian.
this is
*ABSOLUTELY*

Angela Chapman I’ve listened to all of their songs. I’m a huge fan of them!
@@BeckahShaye SAME. Can't wait when the album comes out
Can your Dad react to oter twenty one pilots Christian reference songs? 😊
Taxi cab also has a ton of Christian references in it
listen to Dead come alive by Whitaker and Tyler Joseph
Listen to your father's wisdom about God, sweet girl! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! Give your heart to Him!
You have a very wise dad. You are very fortunate.

Isaac Herod show her the song “Just like yesterday.” Highly underrated and their most Christian song ever.

Freddy Guerrero he’s listened to some self titled songs and kitchen sink!
Freddy Guerrero I'm sorry but I laughed because your typo

Yesss NF and TOP actually go really well together.
Good critique. Dad and daughter y’all are great!
That's how deep they went with that. Wow. Blessings to you and your dad. Clique life.
omg i got goosebumps
Wow a lot of really great thoughts I nerve considered

i didn’t know dad had that much space in this car i’m shook

But you have to tie me down and then break both of my hands.
jessica YESSSS ME TOO
@@BeckahShaye it just reminded me right away of Jesus when he needed to die for us and have those things in his hands.
😮😮😮😮😮
Praise Jesus. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your family.
I love your dad!
We need an update on his opinions of all the album videos!
Just one comment: blurryface IS one of the bishops, his name is nicolas bourbaki (nico). (Confirmed in Nico and the Niners)

A car a torch a death. Addict with a pen
Listen to the singer Beckah Shae!
Dexter Stokley i used to when i was younger!

Your Dad is right.
TØP lead me back to Jesus.
Can your dad please commentate on Nico and the Niners now?? Please?? 😜
I am an atheist.. but i like the theory😂
John 3:16 ❤
