the truth is, it’s crazy how Christian the lyrics and the concepts in twenty one pilots’ songs are, and how nobody in their group of fans is talking about it. I mean, the fans can decode and find information on basically every little potential meaning behind lyrics or promotional material…and they just blow past the Christian stuff.
I mean like. Vignette. Vignette is definitely about being addicted to doubt. Doubt in God. That one’s not hard to decode. Tyler literally said “it makes the most sense within the context of addiction” and everybody on Twitter goes “omg what is he addicted to,” then they start virtue-signaling in arguments like, “ya’ll don’t know him, addiction can take many forms, how dare you say you don’t believe he’s addicted to substances,” and it’s like. Guys. He’s only ever used “addiction” to describe one thing, and it’s doubt. Addict With a Pen.
I mean, ya’ll know him. Supposedly. The guy talks in riddles in interviews because he knows fans are watching. You don’t think he would talk in a pretty-obvious but safely-vague riddle about the meaning of a song in the Livestream?
This isn’t the only example. It’s just one of the most recent ones. To try and contextualize or understand any of twenty one pilots’ albums or the concepts inside—and by “understand,” I mean, “understand what it meant to Tyler Joseph/what Tyler Joseph meant”—not what it means to you or the next guy in line—without taking the Christianity that bleeds through into account? That’s an exercise in futility.
but let’s be real, ya’ll are all more obsessed with the skeleton visuals, the romanticization of mental health struggles, and the sexual fantasization than you’re obsessed with what the songs were intended to say
You can focus on whatever you want to in and with their music, that’s the beauty and the ugliness of art. I’m just pointing out; it’s weird that ya’ll will focus on everything but Christianity when decoding and theorizing. The most I never see is “must be about his faith” “it’s abt God” or “awwwe his Christian roots.” Okay, but you’ll dig up the life and history of Simone Weil based on a single word’s (maybe intentional) misspelling, and learn every fact about her life, convinced he was referencing her? Whatever, man.
