This situations becoming dire, My treehouse is on fire and for some reason I smell gas on my hands

I love this line! Also the way he reworks this metaphor for Stressed Out

This line always makes me super sad but I'm not entirely sure why. The childlikeness mixed with an idea of destruction. Anyone know what this line was about?

It's a metaphor for losing your own innocence to depression, and realizing you ended up in this situation through your own self-destructive habits

I love this line so much, I got a tattoo of it. A treehouse with some flames peeking out of the windows!

idk if we’re allowed to post tattoos here but you should totally post it! i’d love to see it

OBSESSED WITH YOUR TATTOO! forest is my fav song and I know i want to get a tree or lil forest for it!

Where's that from?

Forest

"Lost my job, my wife, my child. Homie just sued me." Like bruh

Josh should sue Tyler for slander for that line, because he'd NEVER sue Tyler.

Preach!

But it's still a good day 👍

“Shoot my life in shoot ‘em up style, her favorite movie” It’s like bruh, are you threatening to commit a shooting?

"A bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room"

“Ive got a Pet cheetah Down in my Basement I’ve raised him And bathed him And named him Jason Statham”

The "Pet Cheetah" is actually his Cheetah brand keyboard

Why is bro bathing his keyboard

in tears 😭 or sweat or blood or creativity or whatever idk 💀

Gotta take out the keys and clean it every so often tbh, keybords can get so gross

Piano keyboard or computer keyboard tho?

Piano, lol

"I'll make money selling your hair, I don't care what's in your hair"

what did he mean by this?

"[...] I don't care what's in your hair I just wanna know what's on your mind [...]" She doesn't need her hair because what's on her mind is more important. So you can sell the hair, It dosen't matter if she has it or not...I guess.

Long story short........ GO **B A L D**

Feels like a very surface level explanation but maybe it’s just not a particularly deep lyric haha

It’s also a pun because asking someone “what’s in your hair” is the same as asking someone what’s on their mind, it’s a pretty clever lyric

I've never heard that. Makes it a little less weird. Just a little

I always thought it was a reference to the story Gift of the Magi, but I could be wrong

i was just about to comment this! my mom actually when listening to it back when it came out immediately said “oh it’s a gift of the magi” reference so i’ve been on that train ever since! it would also make sense because of the religious background of the story

We've seen Jenna shave Tyler's head, so this line was foreshadowing that we'll see him shave HER head this album cycle.

[удалено]

ode to sleep is probably my favorite tøp song and this is one of the reasons why 😭 “IM A WHORE!!! AND THATS DENIAL NUMBER FOUR!!!!”

That is my favorite by them as well! I love the piano and the screaming. It goes from 0-100 quick and I LOVE IT!!!

YES!!!! I also LOVE how many times the beat switches! and the rap part is so good

Also the most meaningful to me and one of my favorites. The first song I ever heard by them and I’ve been hooked ever since 🩷

LETS GOOO I FOUND MY PEOPLE ODE TO SLEEP GOATED

DO dodododo DO dodododo DO dodododo DO

"giving birth and stuff"

Bruh this line makes me chuckle every time I hear it

A train from the sky locomotive my motives are insane

This is actually such a clever lyric

Loco motives.. corazon in overcompensate.. Clancy is of spanish descent confirmed??

Also domingo en fuego

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME RN, HE ACTUALLY MEANT CRAZY MOTIVES?? NOT THE ACTUAL TRAIN??? i'm leaving

Holy shit I’ve only just realised what this meant 💀💀

dude me too🥲im disappointed in myself

SAME WTF ?!

Motive! Where the hell have you been, loca? 😃

This line always make me laugh, I love when people overexplain jokes

(that’s a train)

But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father" And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water

This was the line that hooked me 12 years ago

In this house we got feng shui

feet planted on grip tape with my shoulders squared and my back straight 🤚

got a good base and a loose tongue, notorious in the octagon

If you look at a diagram of Fengshui, it is an octagon 👀

mmm badadum badaduma

I swear he was channeling Childish Gambino in parts of that song

“Homie just sued me”

“Your grandpa died when you were nine”. Like yes thanks for reminding me Tyler

I mean this in a loving way, but there are so many unhinged and cringe lyrics across the discography. But Tyler delivers them with such care and conviction they all kinda land lol

As a non native English speaker, I often had to look up the lyrics bc I often thought I understood them incorrectly. But it was just Tyler tylering.

It's like Weezer-- A charming sort of cringe :)

Lol exactly. And we love them for it.

I've raised him, and bathed him, and named him Jason Statham

“I like your nachos like diarrhea” 🌮🛎️🎶

Technically not a tøp lyric but I couldn’t resist

Username checks out

Then I feel my soul start leaving like an old man’s hair receding

My taste in music is your FACE Side note tho I thought forever that he said "ready to taste the glock" in Migraine and that's what I would've answered lol

Is this referring to "my writer just hates the clock"???? That's hilarious lol

every time i hear it i think he’s saying “my redditor changed the clock” 😭

Yes!! Lol

Sadly it would still make sense this way with the “Sundays are my suicide days” line 🤣😭

My whatsapp status as an edgy/angsty teenager: You think my music is trash? Well, my taste in music is your face, and your face is trash

SAME im so glad someone else thought he was talking about a gun

Now! It’s your turn, to be alone!

Your grandpa died

That as the first line in a cheerful voice always cracks me up

I’m hoping they choke on smoke cuz I’m smoking them out the basement.

Keons mentioned

“All your friends fertilize the ground you walk”

Why is the ground sticky?

💀💀

“Bless your ear holes while you react, acting Gobsmacked”

makes me cringe every time

it flows weirdly too imo, the adidas track jacket and then on to bless your ear holes.

That lyric certainly made me do a double-take when I was watching during the premiere. To parrot another reply, it’s probably intentional to show Clancy is conceited and overconfident here, hence the name “Overcompensate”.

Reminds me of "open the slits in your face and start your day" for some reason

Overcompensate would probably be my favorite song if that section just had different words. Those two sentences are so bad imo. Musicly great but they dont make any sense reading them

I have to assume the cockiness is him overcompensating for the feelings of insecurity he displayed on the last 3 albums. That being said, I feel the exact same way lol. The first time I listened I was like ahh.. ok..

"i wasn't raised in the hood, but i know a thing or two about pain and darkness"

What is wrong with this line, though? I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe that's why I don't know why.

It’s just him saying hood & mentioning hood experiences of pain & darkness. Not to the point at all where it’s offensive but it’s just a bit cringey for a middle class white boy from Ohio to be saying that. There’d be equivalents for most countries like someone not from Brazilian favelas or Eastern European ghettos/slums, or UK council estates etc. mentioning them in a song.

I always "liked" it so I still do and I don't know what is wrong with it, despite from being maybe too simple for tøp lol

Great lyric, what’s the issue with it lol

"you'll have to tie me down and then break both my hands"

...but a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man - Levitate

We all know you’re qualified to fix a chair I will plan to be a bum And now I just sit I’m trying to sleep WAAAAAATTTTTAAAAAAAHHHHHH (when he screams water in addict with a pen) and the good ol’, PACHEETAH

Just like a vertical locomotive. That's a train that's painting a picture in my brain. A train from the sky. Locomotive. My motives are insane

Metaphorically I'm a whore

One of my friends is a huge Christian cowboy and hates the parts talking about a heart in a car a torch a death which I really don't know why. I guess he just doesn't understand what it means and the story

[удалено]

“I scream, you scream, we all scream cuz we’re terrified” 

t-e-r-r-i-f-i-e-d

Do we *have* to give people flashbacks to... that???

Hahaha love this line!!

When using Pokémon cards, please do not use the holographics

I’ve got a pet cheetah down in my basement I've raised him, and bathed him, and named him Jason Statham

DONT YOU TEST ME THOUGH, JUST BECAUSE I PLAY THE PIANO, DOESN'T MEAN I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE YOU DOWN im sorry

“Open the slits in your face”

“i was born right here just now, originated right in front of your eyes”

If you can't see I am Klan C /s

“we all know you’re qualified to fix a chair and love your wife” probably isn’t the *most* unhinged but it certainly deserves a mention

How is that unhinged haha

I mean I agree with you if we use the literal definition of the word but unhinged has taken on a new meaning as of late and is simply a new way to say crazy/unpredictable nowadays

making lemonade via email

Coconut coconut sharks in the water

was looking for this one

"I'll be right there but you'll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air"

Seriously wtf is a pacheetah

Pet cheetah?

Lmao ik it was just a joke over the whole pet cheetah, pacheetah lyric debate 😭

Josh Dun

"Lost my job, my wife, and child; homie just sued me"

But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again

"A moth ate through your favorite shirt"

"I put my socks on my feet just so that my soul won't fall down through my toes" has gotta be up there. "When using pokemon cards please do not use the holographics" is a good contender too lol

"the stomach in my brain throws up onto the page"

Honestly we're probably more suicidal than every now.

*insert the clip from the 10 yr anniversary livestream of Tyler practically moaning into mic when making a song* (I forgot which song)

*that* lyric in lane boy

???

Probably “I wasn’t raised in the hood, but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness”

I just realized how crazy that line is lmao. I never thought about it until now

Fuck that one is so insane 😂

“Your grandpa died when you were 9”

Josh Dun

“i’m a whre and that’s denial number 4”

IM A WHORE

I could pull the steering wheel

For me it's "I keep on going back, even though it's me I abuse."

Nacho bell grande, cheesy gordita, i like your nachos like diarrhea

Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breathe fine and tie it to a tree. 😂 Love that song so much tho

The unhinged lyric I can think of is: "I kinda like it when I make you cry" from Semi-Automatic.

we'll make money selling your hair

metaphorically im a whore

“i three time mvp’d this crime”

“Can you drown me, please”

i put my socks on my feet :)

“I‘be raised em and bathed em and named him jason”

Your grandpa died when you were 9

My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could Find, I did not know it was such a violent island Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin

“I’m a whore” “I love when I make you cry”

I wasn't raised in the hood, but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness 🤭

LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE DONT LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

And I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man's hair receding I quote this way too much

Metaphorically im a whore and thats denial number 4

“Metaphorically I’m a whore, and that’s denial number 4!”

i’ll stay awake ‘cause the dark’s not taking prisoners tonight

“Sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind” -Migraine

Whatever he’s singing about with the slits in your face, shit creeps me out. Also “where am I from I was born right here just now originated right in front of your eyes”

“We all know you’re qualified to fix a chair” and “Friend, please remove your hands-“

“Lost my job my wife and child, homie just sued me/ Shoot my life in shoot ‘em up style, her favorite movie” If read literally, he’s just threatening to commit a shooting lol…

'Lost my job, my wife and child. Homie just sued me 😁👍'

“I’ve never felt closer to you, just crying as you torture me”

“i took some food for thought it might be poisoned”

"Open the slits in your face, and start your day."

"I'll be right there, but you'll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air if you need anyone... I'll stop my plans, but you'll have to tie me down and then break both my hands..." Confused the HECK out of me for way too long

“I wasn’t raised in the hood. But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness.” Genuinely one of the greatest, most unhinged, and fucking garbage lyrics they’ve ever come out with. Every day I am baffled as to how this lyric exists.

“Your grandpa died”

“I’ll let my old lady know”

We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife

metaphorically i'm a whore

Don't sleep on a kid?

Metaphorically I'm a whore and that's denial number four

first thing that comes to mind is “metaphorically im a whore” but im also a new fan so idk😭

Your grandpa died when you were 9

Hope you’re dead cause how could you sleep at a time like this?

Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head.

"Thanks to the Mexican that makes me my food..."

someone probably already said it buuut: “metaphorically, I’m a whore” 🙀

Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit

“josh dun”

Metaphorically, I'm a whore

“Like an old man’s hair receding”

josh dun.

Nacho bell grande, cheesy gordita, I like your nachos like diarrhea

"Save half of your taxes" The tax fraud was not my fault, he made me do it!
