“Cut My Lip”, the 10th song on the album Trench by twenty one pilots; it’s a sincere song, that addresses the skeleton clique, which is exciting. So let’s talk about that.
“The Hype”, the 8th song on the album Trench by twenty one pilots; it’s such a deep song, that has —as usual— some personal things, where Tyler Joseph speaks to someone —which is new to twenty one pilots— about something that he’s almost never spoke about before. So let’s talk about this.
“Neon Gravestones“ is probably the hardest and the most controversial song on Trench; the thoughts and ideas in this song are worth considering, even if you find that you disagree in some way, you still need to consider what's being said here, because it is interesting, important, and dare I say it could even be life-changing.
“Smithereens”, the 6th song on the record Trench by twenty one pilots, a love song that isn’t like any other love song, and we love it. Let’s talk about it.
“Chlorine” is the fifth song in the album Trench by twenty one pilots, it is a beautiful song yet a confusing one, so let’s start breaking this one a bit, maybe we’ll get to know what is going on with Tyler Joseph, and Ned… Haven’t you seen Ned?!
“My Blood” is the forth song in the album Trench, it’s about family; such a beautiful and catchy song, and it’s probably the most repetitive song in the album, but it works well, so let’s talk about this.
“Morph” is probably the most intricate song in the record, it is well-put together, and just a beautiful song; but also perhaps one of the most confusing, in fact it's my most confusing song from the entire album.
Levitate is deep, and it’s has a lot of things yet it’s short. Tyler Joseph talks about music in this third and final part of a three-part story from twenty one pilots’ latest album Trench. And so, I am excited to go over this song in depth with you.
Nico And The Niners’ music video is insane; there is so much meaningful stuff. We get to see DEMA. And it looks like the bishops are in it, we also see the banditos, and Josh. There is a story to tell here, and I am excited to go over this in depth with you, guys.
Jumpsuit’s music video is insane; there is so much meaningful stuff. It looks like a bishop or Blurryface is in it, there is a cameo by Josh and Jenna in there, the allusions to movies. There is a story to tell here, and I am excited to go over this in depth with you, guys.
