Twenty One Pilots Speeches

1085 Words5 Pages

It’s rare to find meaningful music today in the cluster of regurgitating pop and rap music being played on the radio. It’s sad to see these artists who can have big impact on the world do not take the opportunity. I can’t put all the blame on the artists though. Why wouldn’t they keep putting out this type of music when the masses keep throwing money and support for more of their garbage? It takes time to find a band or group that serves a purpose, sends a powerful message, and simply produces great music. I came across a band called Twenty One Pilots, thanks to my friend Ronnie. Twenty One Pilots consists of two members: Tyler Joseph (Lead Singer) and Josh Dun (Drummer). The band was formed in 2009 and has aggregated a large following the …show more content…

This single dives into the struggle of battling depression.
I'm taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty,
I bet a lot of me was lost, Ts uncrossed and Is undotted,
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got,
Not anymore, flesh out the door, swat,
I must've forgot, you can't trust me,
I'm open a moment and close when you show it,
Before you know it, I'm lost at sea,
These lines highlight the back and forth arguing between you and the disease in your mind. Tyler is trying to show he is overcoming his depression, and in control, but quickly sucked back into his depressive thoughts and lost again. The hook further shows how depression can take over your life and is constantly in his mind: You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain,
You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes. Tyler feels his depression consuming everything around him, but there is hope: You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie

    The usual age of artists nowadays can be surmised as very young compared to what was popularized in the mid-80s to the early-90s. We all have been amazed by the impressive talents of musicians as young as 14 until the mid-adult age of 25. It is quite an elating feeling to know that those who are dubbed as The Millenials have this awe-inspiring trait of being confident, despite their seeming inexperience. What they lean on is their talent being developed at an early age, and the challenge they have to undergo is truly valid to enter the general music scene. We can never deny that the more we become music addicts, the more we 're exposed to knowing singers or groups 10 years younger than us.

    There were so many days that I just couldn’t convince myself to leave the safety of my bed. Some days, I buried myself in books and the internet and other days, I spent hours staring up at the ceiling and wondering why I couldn’t cry no matter how much my eyes burned and my chest ached. Melinda and I could commiserate; we were both lost, wading waist deep in emotions we couldn’t fathom. Moreover, we both found similar escapes-- Melinda had art and I had music. When I was at a point where I could no longer verbalize the way I was feeling, I found melodies and lyrics that perfectly captured my thoughts.

    In my elementary school in West Texas, we performed songs on stage about America sometime around 9-11. My music teacher started this idea as a way for our school and town to honor those who died during the terrorist attacks. Most of the songs revolved around the states and their capitals or were songs like God Bless America. At the end of the last song though we would sit down and watch a slide show played to Alan Jackson’s (Where were you). The only problem that I had was that I was the only one who didn’t remember 9-11 happening.

    42 reminds me of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in the major leagues, whose number was 42. To me this number represents the discrimination and hardships that Robinson faced from his teammates and other members of the major league baseball community. With the racial discrimination that Robinson experienced in mind, I am brought to our country's current state of civil rights. From the airport and Mall of America protests in Minneapolis to the student protests at the University of Missouri our state of civil rights are in turmoil.

    At the beginning of Frank Ocean’s part, he uses onomatopoeias such as “Chirp, chirp” and we can see Tyler using this as well in “ring, ring, ring”. Frank Ocean uses this onomatopoeia to help us visualize the suburbs he talks about as he reminisces and relates to Tyler’s situation. Past the second half of the song, we can see that Tyler uses rhymes to bring up negative comments about himself. In the line “Attention seeker, public speaker” he talks about two different ways people see him. While some see him as a public speaker, others find him to be an attention
