The Twenty Øne Piløts Levels Of Abstraction

ok so I believe that all tøp lore exists on a sort of dante's inferno style model of abstraction.

you're theoretically able to place all of their songs in either one of these levels, or at a state between them.

I personally believe there may be a second level of hyperreality between Blurryface and Trench where The Hype, Next Semester, Choker and Chlorine might also sit, but they also kind of blur with irl reality so I think that Might be a superpositional state between both IRL, Blurryface and Trench.

Feel free to make song placement suggestions or make your own abstraction scale and go insane like me <3

SAI theory

We all know Scaled And Icy, right? Okay. So, I saw this theory about it that I wanted to share. (I found this on Reddit and copied a lot of it and sorry if this has been posted before.)

So, in SAI, the Bishops brainwashed Tyler and made him write happy songs about all the Bishops. That is why it sounds happier and is more upbeat than anything TØP has done before. Each Bishop is named after a song on Blurryface. So, if you really think about it, there will always be one Blurryface song that matches a SAI song.

Polarize and Good Day

Polarize is about anxiety and Tyler's inability to separate himself from Blurryface. It's a bad realization, and that's what Lisden represents. Good Day is about life drastically changing for the worse. Good Day is Tyler singing in kind of a shocked deny, deny, denial.

Heavydirtysoul and Choker

Both of these songs have a fear of the unknown. HDS is kind of a meltdown, comparing Blurryface to an internal demon. But the last line of Choker, 'The rear view only blinds you', means to just keep running and you'll never see Blurryface. (I was also thinking that it could have something to do with the HDS music video.)

Doubt and Shy Away

Doubt is about being stuck in a toxic cycle about self confidence. Reisdro is the Bishop of cycles about mental health. The only thing that can break the loop is Shy Away, which is about encouraging people to try new things and forget about who they are. Shy Away has tons of metaphors and euphemisms about 'breaking the cycle'.

Lane Boy and The Outside

Even on a surface level, both songs are unhappy with the music industry. Vetomo is the Bishop from Lane Boy, and he represents a dislike for conformity in general. The Outside is also unhappy, but from the other side. It's complaining about conforming being a difficult task due to an always changing mainstream.

Stressed Out and Saturday

Stressed Out has themes of dissatisfaction about every day life, which is what Nico represents in that song: your depression that paves the rest of the way for Dema. But Saturday, on a surface level, sounds like one of the least depressing Twenty One Pilots songs. But if you look at the themes of drug use by the phrase 'medicating in the afternoon' references to the vast ocean and a tight fishbowl, and implied seasonal depression if the days of the week mentioned in the chorus represent time periods longer than days suggest that the disjointed, chaotic but happy life in Saturday isn't so happy at all. Honestly, chances are that Tyler is probably dissociating in Saturday, which also means that the good feels in Saturday don't exist, and that it's just Nico's propaganda track about how depression does not exist if you forget about it.

Fairly Local and Never Take It

Never Take It and Fairly Local is probably the most direct match. In Fairly Local, Tyler tells a story about not listening to himself out of fear that Blurryface might show up. Andre represents a fear of minds that aren't yours and a fear of manipulation, and in Never Take It this is taken literally, where Tyler sings about ignoring people who are not yourself and listening to everything your mind has to say. Every pre-SAI TØP song is the complete opposite of that, but none more so than Fairly Local.

Ride and Mulberry Street

Like Lane Boy and The Outside, these songs are opposites on the issue of fear of life changing that Listo represents. Ride is about how life moves way too fast for Tyler, and that he is moving slowly in life. Overthinking kind of causes this entire song. In Mulberry Street, the same feeling of isolation because of life changing is there. Except in Mulberry Street, it is stated that ignoring it and embracing the moment isn't so bad.

Tear in My Heart and Formidable

Both of these songs are the 'love songs' of Blurryface and SAI, dedicated to the closest people in Tyler's life. Tear in My Heart is one of the most heartfelt songs about Jenna. Tear in My Heart introduces Sacarver and Formidable is his propaganda track, but Formidable is also a subtle encouragement to suppress feelings from Dema. Formidable is quite a sweet song, but the line 'my loyalty will bore you' suggests that Sacarver and the rest of Dema is most alive when Tyler is in his head alone.

Goner and Bounce Man

These songs are, again, opposite takes on a problem. Goner is about the final standoff between Tyler and Blurryface, to search for an outcome. Bounce Man's outcome is no outcome- the entire songs is a cue to run or escape from someone or something. Nills, the Bishop representing conclusions, and his SAI propaganda track is completely contradicting his Blurryface song. Bounce Man is telling people to just keep running from their own Blurryfaces. A lifelong run away from your own head. Both of these songs are running, but one to Blurryface, the other away.

What can we take away from all that?

Well, SAI is definitely propaganda and fits in with the Trench and Dema lore. This also means that Good Day, Choker, Shy Away, The Outside, Saturday, Never Take It, Mulberry Street, Formidable, and Bounce Man are against TØP's true beliefs somehow.

But wait, what about No Chances and Redecorate?

If the rest of the tracks on SAI are Tyler being controlled by Dema, then No Chances and Redecorate are what is really going on inside Dema.

A theory I saw and really liked about No Chances is it comes directly after the end of Trench, and Tyler is in an argument with the Bishops and the Banditos. Tyler wants to leave Dema and is ready to die trying, but the Banditos are telling him to wait and that they will come rescue him. Meanwhile the Bishops are telling Tyler that he doesn't stand a chance leaving Dema and that they will always come back for him.

In the beginning of Redecorate, there's a little 'Oh, oh, oh', but it kind of sounds like laughing. It could be the Bishops laughing at Tyler and/or Clancy's pain and they (the Bishops) are enjoying it. Redecorate could be Clancy's last letter.

Wow. That was a lot. If you've made it this far, kid, thank you for reading. Stay alive |-/

morse code vid & a review of BOOKS in tøp history

so, as everyone knows, ned's cozy fireplace had an ad that used morse code. here is that ad and a visual.

please let me know who to credit as the owner of the screen recording

and because nobody i know has any idea what to make of "BOOKS" -- and they have tried -- here's a look at books as they appear in tøp's body of work. just for the hell of it.

here we go!

2016: the cancer cover.

in the cancer music video, a person narrates their own impending death from cancer, and it's accompanied by an explosion books bursting out of a bookshelf. these green circles are just highlighting that this music video also included repeat book designs, like ned's cozy fireplace does.

that video and this one are by the same animator and designer, chris schoenman, who presumably didn't want to make like nine million different books. (but there could be more than one reason.)

the speaker in this song is consuming this media; there's a couple books on his coffee table.

our speaker is writing their own story with their descriptions and instructions to their family as the video goes on.

among the this person's collection of stories are some twenty one pilots songs. we'll see this later too.

2016. heathens.

these drawings on the wall are not books, but they are related to books, as we will see in just a moment. it's reasonable to say these drawings represent something this character feels or thinks about, in some cases over and over.

nico and the niners, 2018.

next, we have tyler/clancy in nico and the niners packing his backpack. we don't see him physically put this red pamphlet/book in his backpack, but given that the scene starts with a bed covered in stuff, shows him packing, and then shows a bed with nothing on it, we can assume the pamphlet got put in too.

the backpack is left for the kids to find along with the bandito clothes.

we know from The Outside that the kids keep the bandito clothes and presumably the backpack with its contents, including the red pamphlet/book.

the leave the city visuals also make a point to show a backpack left behind.

speaking of leave the city visuals:

these visuals fade from trench as a real place to drawings on the bedroom wall in dema.

like heathens, we can assume these drawings depict something that the person who drew them thinks about. because we recognize what's shown, we know they reflect what clancy knows or believes about his world: the figure of the vulture, the neon gravestones, the cage from hoty, the tree from trees and so on.

next:

2021. the vialism pamphlet, released at the same time as choker. it reads "to live fully is to sacrifice all". this is important because it's the first and only time we know what one of these pieces of media the character is consuming is explicitly telling us.

the black pamphlet is a visual parallel for what josh is reading in choker.

2021. christmas saves the year.

we see here that santa also has drawings on his wall. and -- like the speaker in cancer -- is taking in media that includes twenty one pilots stories.

santa's drawings include things he observes in his world (the snowmen, the noodly skeleton and alien keys) and things he believes -- or at least speculates about (the radiant cosmic rays that defeat the snowmen).

this csty video is actually deep af, and i spent six long weeks making a vid on what i think is happening here if you want to watch it. be gentle. i'm doing my best.

these drawings on the wall are a parallel to the drawings on the wall in other places in that they show things the artist thinks or believes about the world they live in.

2022. tyler owns at least two books. they're right there.

2023: ned's cozy fireplace.

lastly, here's some of those same dema-and-trench drawings on the wall in ned's home, looping him firmly into those shared concepts about the neon gravestones, compass E, etc, and a written continuation of The Outside in the form of a letter.

and that's that on that for books in the history of tøp. i think this has absolutely jack to do with why the morse code says BOOKS, but it seemed neglectful not to at least review the topic and see what we can see. what i see: some as-yet-undefined significance in what we take in and how it informs how we understand our world.

fun little fact: the bourbaki group play a foundational role in modern mathematics and it's likely that some of your school textbooks cited bourbaki in the back of the book. so we've all consumed bourbaki book content at some point.

this might be controversial but I've never understood why people dislike SAI, or see it as less musically worthwhile? tøp has always crossed genres and bucked tradition, and given us a new sound every album.

I really love how versatile they are! and it feels like we were genuinely being spoiled the entire album :') like, there's a perfect mix of absolutely heartbreaking songs (Choker, Shy Away, Redecorate, No Chances, THE OUTSIDE!!!!), and upbeat boppy songs with even more soulcrushing hidden aspects to them (Mulberry Street, Saturday, Good Day, Never Take It & Bounce Man)

I feel like they perfectly fit the aesthetic of cheerfully deceptive and dystopic, whilst also continuing their concepts from Trench and exploring them. I like the theme of like, maladaptive positivity that covers a hidden misery and darkness as the boys try to navigate being trapped in a hopeless situation, the critique on the current social climate of being hyperaware n information overload, and also all the MISinformation that comes along with it.

I feel like it's JUST as narratively interesting and complex as Trench was but bc there have been almost no theorycrafters talking about it, it didn't get nearly the love and insight it deserves.

I love you SAI, I love you dystopic societies covered by a chipping layer of pastel paint, I love you societal critique about being dragged back into the throes of depression and feeling as though society dresses it up in flowery language to make it more palettable to them, I love you boys who never limit themselves to one sound or genre and instead explore them all and push them to their limits and experiment and keep things interesting forever, I love you twenty one pilots

#ALSO WE GOT TYLER WITH PINK HAIR AND A SLUTTY SLUTTY CROP TOP #IS THAT NOT ENOUGH!!!!!! #like ofc Trench is a masterpiece and like it's nearly impossible to top it but like #i don't feel like tyler and josh felt the need to prove themselves any more than they already have #the only way to improve on perfection is to diversify and expand your repertoire #and i feel like they did here #i love scaled and spicy soooo much #and every song every frame of their mvs is dense with meaning #they took a trend - 1960s nostalgia - and elevated it to something phenomenal #i love the addition of it to the world of trench because it aligns perfectly with the brutalist aesthetic #and it's intended era inspiration #god i could talk about SAI forever #mine #lorewhore
