Depression and Anxiety are hell. It feels like the good and bad are pulling you in opposite directions and it makes you want to disappear. For me, one of the best forms of coping with these obstacles is listening to music and writing poetry. One of my top favorites bands to listen to is Twenty One Pilots. This amazing Duo from Columbus Ohio has not only helped me in finding my worth, but they have helped millions like me. From their self-titled album to Blurryface, these are some lyrics that mean the most to me. I hope they help someone else out there and have them listen to TOP because they have such an amazing and emotional way with words.
1. "Implicit Demand For Proof"
“Strike me down
I am calling your lightning
Down from your dark hiding place
Go ahead and show me your face”
When you are
2. "Fall Away"
"But believe me I'm fine
But I'm lying,
I'm so very far from fine"
When you put a mask on saying you are good, but you are really not.
3. "Friend Please"
"You say that you're fine but you have lost your sway and glow
So I stopped by to let you know
Friend, please remove your hands from
Over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave but
Friend, please don't take your life away from me”
Noticing that people can see you not feeling good. Whether
4. "Kitchen Sink"
"No one else is dealing with your demons
Meaning maybe defeating them
Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend."
Build redemption for yourself. Learn to accept your purpose even if you don't know what it is yet, but accepting that you can overcome anything in search of it.
5. "Lovely"
"Treason now is growing near to me
I'm coming clean
God, hit me straight on."
The feeling freedom, as you separate yourself from the dirtiness of your past and be willing to live.
6. "Migraine"
"And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win,
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find,
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind."
Take a step back and breathe. Know that you have to take things one step at a time. The wars you are building are all in your head. It doesn't seem like that now, but in order for you to find a remedy or cure, you gotta stop letting your head guide you and learn to let you heart guide you instead.
7. "Car Radio"
"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.”
Always choose the decision that will make you a better person. Choosing the one where you don't avoid the pain but rather face it because by choosing a remedy, it will not eliminate the problem but only make it worse. Faith lessens the problem and eliminates it. Sleep makes it multiply and everlasting.
8. "Screen"
"While you're doing fine, there's some people and
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse us while we sing to the sky."
No matter we are whole or broken, there is someone or something giving us strength. Don't be ashamed of your scars, for they are what make you strong. Be proud of them and always look up to the sky because growth is what you want. The floor only makes you sink more. Look up always.
9. "Truce"
"The sun will rise and we will try again"
Life is a rollercoaster, no matter how many times we see a sunset, know a sunrise is coming up next. Keep the hope alive for so many second chances are yet to come.
10. "Ride"
"Metaphorically, I'm the man
But literally, I don't know what I'd do.”
You can lie to many people, but the truth is, the truth will always be what will set you free. Accepting the
11. "Lane Boy"
"They think this thing is a highway, highway,
But will they be alive tomorrow?"
Breaking free from the norm. Being who you want to be without
12. "Not Today"
"Heard you say, "Not today."
Tore the curtains down, windows open now, make a sound,
Heard your voice, "There's no choice."
Tore the curtains down, windows open now, make a noise,"
You know you want to live. You know this sadness is not worth it. The you that says these horrible words to you, you know it makes you fell bad. Tear them down and don't fall for what that evil subconscious voice is telling you. You know what you truly want inside. Bring that out with no fear.
These are the 12 TOP songs that mean the most to me. Go ahead and listen to them. Who knows, maybe they carry a message to help you in life as well. Stay Alive Frens I-/.
