Twenty-One Pilots is a two man music group who started together 5 years ago. The duo consist of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun from Columbus, Ohio that were two college friends, both with extreme musical talent. In 2011, they released their first album Regional At Best, then they became noticed by a record label named Fueled By Ramen, who they later signed on to a contract with them. When 2013 hit, they released their newest album Vessel featuring such songs as "Trees" or "Run and Go" and went on tour with this album. There tour took them to such places as the MTV Movie Awards in 2014. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjZ9Dx-bnmQ) Which is also the reason I fell in love with them.
Twenty-One Pilot's music is not your average pop on the radio, it isn't about objectifying women or doing drugs. It is just music. No need to complicate things. They don't really have a genre but if you had to classify them as something it would maybe be Indie Techo. One song in particular (Actually the one linked above from the MTV Movie Awards) it was a song that saved my life. The performance when I seen it on the award show was the most inspiring performance of my life. Read the lyrics.
They are so powerful, especially the underlined part below. When I heard him say that it clicked. Joseph's introspective rhymes keep people thinking and on their toes. His main point of his songs are to make people realize and clearly understand how important life and music are and that they are the same thing.
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 could pull the steering wheel
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
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
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
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
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
