I am a big fan of Twenty One Pilots, because listening to a lot of lyrics, most songs I heard were cool but didn't mean anything, but for me Twenty One Pilots lyrics differ. I first heard their song Stressed Out, and then started listening to the rest of their music. It sounds really cool, you can't really confine their music to one genre, and the lyrics mean something. I will just put a few lyrics from several songs.
From Stressed Out
Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out
Used to play pretend
Give each other different names
Then we'd build a rocket ship and fly far away
Used to dream of outer space
Now they're laughing at our face
Saying "wake up, you need to make money"
From Car Radio
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know it's dire, my time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve, my skin will scream
Reminding me of who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving there's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win, and fear will lose
There's faith, and there's sleep
We need to pick one, please
Because, faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think
From Holding on to You
Lean with it, rock with it
When we gonna stop with it
Lyrics that mean nothing
We were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet
To an introspective beat
It's not the speakers that bump hard
It's our hearts that make the beat
From Ride
I'd die for you
That's easy to say
We have a list of people that we would take
A bullet for them
A bullet for you
A bullet for everybody in this room
But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through, many bullets coming through
Metaphorically I'm the man
But literally I don't know what I'd do
I'd live for you
And that's hard to do
Even harder to say when you know it's not true
Even harder to write when you know that tonight
There are people back home which are talking to you
But then you ignore them, still
All these questions they're for real
Like who would you live for, who would die for, and would you ever kill
Their lyrics might seem dark, but they are very thought provoking.

And, just to make you laugh, I admit, I wrote all that down from memory! Now you know about my musical geekiness! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Lol! :lol: Actually I just wrote all of these lyrics from memory too!
(17 years total) Do we agree on everything? No, but we have never raised our voices... which, given my fiery past, is pretty crazy! We kept hearing "just wait" phrases:
