What I discovered over the years listening to their songs is that, there is no correct or wrong way to understand their lyrics. You can interpret them completely differently, but still, it will make sense, at least for you. And I think that"s what matters most.
i love watching these videos because twenty one pilots is my favorite band but i am agnostic. i love hearing the religious perspective of these songs. even though i might not be religious, i still have Faith, and that definitely comes in to me through this music.
This is an amazing album. You are going to love it all. After we do this I would love for you to react to Tyler's first album he made as a teenager in his basement, No Phun Intended. Amazing work for someone who taught himself the keyboard and at his age! Prove me wrong , Save and Drown are phenomenal songs. So happy your back on TOP!
i loved hearing your interpretation, such a beautiful message you took from it. i've always thought of the lyrics very similarly, asking God to reveal himself, similar to their song Trees but I feel like Trees is sort of more desperate and this is a bit more like he is challenging God, making a 'demand'.
I'm sure others have told you but Josh actually wasn't a part of the band yet for this album - Tyler had two other guys who left the band shortly after and then Josh joined
Perfect reaction Tom!!! This song invokes a feeling inside that I can’t really explain - you articulated what I’ve always felt beautifully!! This song is so intense! Great start to the ‘self titled’ era! Don’t know how I missed this on Patreon though, sorry! I must Still be playing catch-up! We’ve been away on holiday and managed to catch covid on the way back!🙄 I have asthma too so it’s been a bit of a struggle! We’re all on the mend now though! I’m so excited for your tøp journey! Us tøp fans can be a bit intense lol! Most of the time it’s just because we care so much about the band and the music/lyrics are so important! But music is an art form and as such, should be open to interpretation in whatever way the listener/viewer chooses to see it, there’s no ‘right’ answer. You’re going to love seeing the progression of tøp, this album was made a couple of years before Josh joined the band, (there was a different drummer and guitarist at the time), and I think in some tracks you do miss Josh’s signature drumming. It’s all part of the journey to where they are today though! Sending love to you and the family Tom!
Thanks so much emma! Always great to hear your reaction and insight😊 I’m excited to go song by song through their work😊👍 hope you’re feeling better now!
In reality the first album is “no phun intended “ by Tyler Joseph , the singer of top . He wrote it when the band didn’t exist and some songs are very deep , I advice you to listen to : drown, save, just like yesterday and blasphemy.
So glad my friend sent me to check out your channel. This song is one of my favorites and I love watching people listen to tøp for the first time and fall in love. Imo you hit the nail on the head with the meaning.
That’s also what I get from “Levitate” when all he really needs is “a curse” when he is calling God to come down. He’ll even take a curse to see Him working.
Tweenty one pilots are awesome because there is their meaning, my meaning, and your meaning all in one song. They have a message that you can interpret however you want. For me its always self improvement even when you fail and embarrass yourself you can improve. Even when you say im done this is it. theres nothing left .. they show you theres more.. even if its just music or a project you have to finish. Theres more and if you unalive yourslef then you will never know what your capable of. Even if its absolute crap.. you at least tried and can either try to get better or tone your skills on something that comes natural.
04:00 “This is the lyric version of the song…?” Dude SAME thoughts 😂 One of the reasons I love this band is their story feels similar to mine. I’ve had many times of screaming, cussing God out, especially after my mom passed away suddenly from septicemia. But somewhere I got the funny idea “when the girls [my sisters] and I would fight, mom would make us shut tf up when it was the other person’s turn to talk. I’m going to unload everything and then sit my ass down and listen tf up to anything He says back.” Maybe memories of the book of Job were rattling in my head because that’s the kind of response I expected; the kind that knocks me on my ass and makes me get over it. But no. The closest I can word it was like the weird sensation of…. Like, like when you have a bad flu or stomach poisoning. Spewing out such filth. It hitting you how not-good all of it was. But like I’m not in bed by myself. When I would cry from unleashing so much anger and hurt, I could almost tangibly feel God holding my gently on the arms like “You get it all out, honey? Or is there anything left?” So hearing someone around my age singing what I was too confused to tell anyone about, MAN I love this band
@@VTPPGLVR true. God can handle our anger or fear or whatever (even directed at Him) when we are seeking help from Him. I see this in Psalms. We tend to read them as if David or other writers penned the words in the same amount of time as it takes us read them. I tend to think David started many of them in the heat of the stressful as he’s asking for judgement on his enemies for example, but probably finished the psalm down the road after having seen God work on the situation. Then finishing the psalm vowing to trust in the Lord having seen that He is faithful. A lot of Tyler’s lyrics feel that way to me.
Yesss!!! Tøp reactions are back!!! This makes me so happy. I'm so excited for this journey! Also I can't wait for Guns For Hands reaction. Great video!
almost all of twenty one pikots songs have a undertone of God because Tyler and Josh were raised as very devout Christians but they don't in a way where even people who don't belive in God such as me can relate to
Yes. I cannot wait til he gets to Taxi Cab. I actually only relate due to the God undertone. I love that Tyler writes real Christian lyrics rather than typical Christian music that depicts everything wonderful and all troubles easily overcome in an instant.
@@thebluecollarbibleguy5114 i think thats why Tyler is such a good song writer because alot of his songs are about struggling with his faith, and I think the way Tyler writes, accepting that life is really difficult and hard is why he has saved millions of lives and is why I've been a fan for 10 years bc the emotion Tyler puts into his songs are just unparalleled
Have you ever reacted to Friend, Please? If no, I NEED this reaction. I promise you that song is perfection, and if not, one of Tyler’s greatest songwriting songs. If you have reacted to it, I need your input and thoughts on the song 😂🙏🏼
I hear "dieing to self" in a lot of the lyrics and emotions. Please react to No Phun Intended, the entire album even the Taco Bell Song! I am new to the fam and I do appreciate your reactions.
can you please listen to ruby on the regional at best album! it’s only on youtube but that and some other songs off that album will be some of the best you’ve heard. it was released before this and does not have josh but they are amazing
Many of Tyler’s lyrics read like a psalm of David to me. Crying out for answers and seeking guidance.
Same :)
Right?? Like “Oh, this dude GETS IT”
I legit just came to this realisation today and now I’m seeing this comment!! I 100% agree
What I discovered over the years listening to their songs is that, there is no correct or wrong way to understand their lyrics. You can interpret them completely differently, but still, it will make sense, at least for you. And I think that"s what matters most.
As someone who has known twenty one pilots since 2010, seen in concert in 2012 before they were big, i am very excited for each and every song!
Thank you! I’m loving it too!😊👍
I’m so here for your T0P journey!
Same. Made me so happy to hear him say that :)
I’m so excited for this TØP journey!
I was hoping to see you react to Ode to Sleep. I guess this won the patreon vote.
Ode to sleep is a good one!!😊❤️
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial please react to scaled and icy album of twenty one pilots also please react to vessel album by twenty one pilots

please react to tyler's solo music! i think you would appreciate songs such as "drown" and "save" . another great video!
I would love to look at those!😊👍

I just randomly came across this video and I've known this song for years and still had no idea it had a spiritual part to it. it makes so much sense!
It’s a call to God. I just need proof. I am so desperate to know you are real that I’m willing to take your worst. At least then I would know.
That’s also what I get from “Levitate” when all he really needs is “a curse” when he is calling God to come down. He’ll even take a curse to see Him working.
Thank you for this😊👍
Warms my heart to see someone else enjoy my favorite band so much :')
I love this song, I'm currently learning how to play it on piano. I hate to point out that he isn't saying "rain", he is saying "reign" down.
This is such a great album, I can't wait for more!
I recommend Isle of flightless birds and before you start your day by twenty One pilots they're also deep and interesting songs
Thanks for checking out more twenty one pilots ❤️ Looking forward to more
I’m so excited to watch these videos! I was hoping you would go down the TOP rabbit hole and I’m truly excited!
11:04 Tyler sounds like he's saying "I want to see it"
Tweenty one pilots are awesome because there is their meaning, my meaning, and your meaning all in one song. They have a message that you can interpret however you want.

i'm 2 minutes in, you have turned into a calm, motivational priest now and i vibe with it
take us to church, Tom

I think it helps that my mom often told me and the girls “hey, God’s a big boy! He can handle it!!”
@@VTPPGLVR true. God can handle our anger or fear or whatever (even directed at Him) when we are seeking help from Him.
I see this in Psalms. We tend to read them as if David or other writers penned the words in the same amount of time as it takes us read them.

Great video!
Finally ur reacting to twenty one pilots again
Doing the TOP journey on Patreon😊👍
One more comment, many of his songs are about God. I like how he leaves the song open for interpretation but sometimes it’s obvious what it’s about
ESPECIALLY from self titled.
@@37butterflyprincess yes ❤
He’s definitely talking about God. “Trees” is also good
Oh please react to Save by Tyler Joseph ( he's the lead singer of twentyonepilots )
almost all of twenty one pikots songs have a undertone of God because Tyler and Josh were raised as very devout Christians but they don't in a way where even people who don't belive in God such as me can relate to
