Me bopping to a song whose chorus is about passive suicidal ideation and waiting for death to experience less pain for the next few weeks

next semester - twenty one pilots
I REMEMBER I REMEMBER CERTAIN THINGS WHAT I WAS WEARING THE YELLOW DASHES IN THE STREET I PRAYED THOSE LIGHTS WOULD TAKE ME HOME THEN I HEARD, "HEY, KID, GET OUT OF THE ROAD!"
AND THEN HE SLOWED DOWN AND ROLLED DOWN HIS WINDOW AND HE SAID "CAN'T CHANGE WHAT YOU'VE DONE START FRESH NEXT SEMESTER"

Oh-whoa-oh (and then he slowed down), oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh (and rolled down his window), oh-whoa-oh
(And he said) "Can't change what you've done

Been thinking about this song all week and it breaks my heart. It's the most direct he's ever been in a song. It's beautiful.

Hi, so Next Semester, ey?
God this song hits so close to my heart. Not just as a uni student, but also as a young adult who is trying to navigate her life in any logical way So thank you for that guys Then the theories (because why the hell would they make a MV without lore, am I right folks?) MV!
Overall red tones: drumsticks, logo, stage as well as the Blurryface paint brings us back to the Blurryface era for sure
Like it's a callback to the past, do you see my vision?
Could it be a fist show that they did after fully escaping Dema and doing it on their own terms? Maybe
But some scenes give me dream like sequence. Like Tyler is just imagining how the life would be if he succeded to escape
The going back and forth on the road is a callback to the times when he tried to escape, with little to no luck
People are not only there in person, but they also are moved by the music and know the words. So for sure it's different audience that they had in Dema
Tumblr media
The ukulele makes me think that we travelled even more back in time. Honestly, it feels like a callback to the RAB era
It also gives me parallel to the Car Radio MV, just way calmer this time
Tumblr media
Now this gives heavydirtysoul
But did you notice that the thing (car? person?) was going full speed on Tyler and he was the one who got out the way every time, yet it just circled around Josh (just like in HDS)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The middle of the road also gives me Truce vibes
Tumblr media
So with the lyrics, the whole MV gives me the vibe of being closer and closer to the true freedom
Lyrics!
No-no-no, no-no-no - disapproval of the current situation, pretty easy
Stand up straight now / Can't break down - I would say this are pretty self explanatory feelings of Mr Clancy in Dema. He simply cannot break down, or he would let down not only himself but also the people who he leads
Graduate now - It doesn't need to be literal, it could mean to finish something quickly
It's a taste test / Of what I hate less - The feeling of having to choose the lesser evil. That no matter what you gonna choose it's still gonna be bad
Can you die of anxiousness?/ I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here / What's about to happen? What's about to happen? - Valid question tbh. All of it are the feelings of intense anxiety and a desire to escape from the current situation. There is a sense of fear and uncertainty about the future
I remember certain things / What I was wearing - Vivid memories about the certain time and place. Like every escape attempt is important
The yellow dashes in the street - Could be both the lines on the road, but also the yellow Bandito tape. And could the number of the dashes be 300? Like in Overcompensate?
I prayed those lights would take me home - That this one, this attempt will be the the last one. Plus the torches used by Banditos, like a symbol of hope
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!" - Solid reality check
Can't feel my legs / I might suffocate / There's a pressure in my chest - More feeling of nervousness and uncertainty. Everything Clancy feels while running
And then he slowed down / And rolled down his window - So now we know that the speeding thing was a car, but who the hell was driving it
Can't change what you've done - You can't redo the attempts of escaping, but you can always learn from them. It's a reminder not to look back and always look forward to the next, better things
Start fresh next semester - It doesn't have to be literal semester, could be year, day, month. Just gain back your strenght, calm down and try again. Yesterday may have been lost, but what matters is that you don't give up and keep going. You're still fighting

i've been looping next semester all day and while everyone else is talking about how sad it is and what it actually talks about, all i can visualise when i listen to it is me in 2018 seeing my first pilots concert, especially the chorus.
I remember
I remember certain things
i to this day can't remember the concert in full. some memories of it blip in and out. but i remember things like the truce karaoke, leave the city, seeing josh walk out with the torch, giggling at josh air drumming in response to tyler, tyler trying and failing to not smile at the piano, my dad leaning over a couple times to ask if i was ok because i don't think he'd ever seen me cry that much before.
What I was wearin'
my first concert merch that i changed into in the bathroom before the show started, tan shorts, the bandana i convinced my dad to buy for me, and my yellow bandana tucked into the pocket of my bandito jacket.
The yellow dashes in the street
being nervous in a restaurant before the show and having the nagging need to look behind me and seeing literally everyone in the room had on merch, yellow tape, even walking to the venue seeing people covered in strips of tape.
I prayed those lights would take me home
both the way i used to watch concert footage and just hope and pray i'd live long enough to see them live. and i did. and it felt more like home than i've ever known. it started becoming a new goal for me to live long enough to see the next concert. to go back home.
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"
the violent snap back to reality in the sense of how much tyler and josh and their music helped lead me off that road back then. i was going through a lot and didn't have good coping mechanisms and just wanted to be gone. their music snapped me to reality and helped me through it, guided me off that path. i mean hell, i'm planning on going through another treatment program before concerts so i can be healthier when i see them later this year!
-
"you can't change what you've done, start fresh next semester"
"start fresh with a new year"
that reminds me of the whole "it doesn't matter what you've done, you can always try again" quote from tyler. it's a quote that's gotten me through a lot.
