Revised Look At Taxi Cab

So while going through some Twenty One Pilots song meanings I stumbled across a comment on Taxi Cab which said:

“I believe this song is about a suicide attempt and the personal relationship with someone who was helping them through tough times”

This got me thinking and now I have a totally flipped perspective of Taxi Cab that I wanted to share. I’ll go through all the lyrics and give and interpretation from this point of view.

“I wanna fall inside your ghost and fill up every hole inside my mind, and I want everyone to know that I am half a soul divided” Before telling his story, Tyler wants to establish what this person means to him. He loved this person so much he wants to become them. He also wants to show that since they saved him, he believes that they hold a piece of his soul

“Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away. Either way you’re by my side until my dying day” Tyler no longer wants to kill himself. He has finally accepted that, yes, he will die at one point, it’s inevitable, but he is willing to wait for that day with this person.

“And if I’m not there and I’m far away, I said, ‘Don’t be afraid’, I said ‘Don’t be afraid’, we’re going home” Tyler might not always be physically there with this person but he wants them to know that he’ll be coming back for them *insert 1D reference*

“I wanna strip myself of death. A deathless piece of breath I’ve made for you” Tyler wants no part of his former ways and thoughts to come back. Even if it was the only thing that gave him character.

“A mortal, rotting piece of song will help you carry on but this you heard” This person loves music and probably uses it just like Tyler does but because this is a very sad song Tyler doesn’t want them to hear it

[Chorus]

(Favourite bit)

“Okay…” Tyler has made his love for this person clear *sick tøp reference* and is now ready to tell his story

“So the hearse ran out of gas” So Tyler’s body is the hearse while the person in it is his spirit, dead (and if Tyler continued that way so would his body). The hearse running out for gas may represent Tyler no longer wanting to carry on with how his life is going

“A passenger person grabbed a map and the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past” This person came into Tyler’s life, saw where he was going and immediately wanted to save him

“He checked his watched and grabbed a cab, a beautifully pain Taxi Cab” The person realised that Tyler didn’t have much time left and his hearse was going too slow so they helped him get a cab instead. The contrast is that a hearse is meant to drive slowly so that those attending the funeral service can see the coffin but taxis are meant to get people to thier destination fast. The fact that the cab was plain meant that Tyler could start in a clean slate

“A cab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack” After this person gave Tyler the cab (and probably made clear his suicidal thoughts his family) both the person and his family helped him get his life back together

“Driving once again but now this time there were three men” Tyler is now on his new path and his friends have come to help him on his recovery

“And then I heard one of them say ‘I know the night will turn to grey, I know the stars will start to fade. We had to steal him from his fate do he could see another day’ ” The person is now talking to Tyler telling him that things may get worse before they get better. In the last sentence the person is thanking Tyler’s family and friends for helping him

“So I cracked open my box, someone must’ve picked the lock. A little light revealed the spot where my fingernail had fought” Tyler’s looking back to his suicidal days and realises that it wasn’t by his power that he’s veered off that course but it was because of this persons perseverance and belief in him. Tyler’s happy for this because he himself was trying to escape

“Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door, then I sat up off the floor and found the breath I was searching for” Tyler is now digging deeper and finding peace and acceptance in his past and is now content

“There were three men upfront. All I saw were backs of heads so I asked, ‘Am I alive or, well, am I dreaming, dead” Even though he’s at peace with his past, Tyler still has doubts (my reference game is on tøp(im too funny)) so he wants to confirm that they really are trying to save him

“Then one turned around and said ‘We’re driving towards the morning sun, where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be undone’ ” This is the person again, they’re telling Tyler that they are all for him and the night (a metaphor Tyler used to symbolise depression and/or suicide) is finally over and morning is here

So yeah, that’s my interpretation. I think it’s actually as cool as the religious one. I hope you enjoyed it and this possibly gave you a new insight into the song

[fairlyathletic-quails]

the most hopeful/motivating/uplifting twenty one pilots lyrics

I’m taking over my body,

back in control,

no more shotty

 -

I’m not evil to the core

What I shouldn’t do I will fight

I know I’m emotional

What I wanna save I will try

I know who I truly am

I truly do have a chance

Tomorrow I’ll switch the beat

To avoid yesterday’s dance

 -

I will say that we should take a day to break away

from all the pain our brain has made

the game is not played alone

And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

Keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone

 -

Together we’re losers

Remember the future

Remember the morning is when night is dead

 -

Your redemption won’t grow stale

We are now just setting sail

 -

I will listen to you all day, yes I will

 -

But I know we’ve made it this far, kid

 -

You will die, but now your life is free

- 

I’m semi-automatic,

my prayer is schizophrenic

But I’ll live on, yeah I’ll live on

 -

The only difference between life and dying

Is one is trying, that is all we’re called to do

 -

No one else is dealing with your demons

Meaning maybe defeating them

Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend.

 -

We stay in place

‘Cause we don’t wanna lose our lives

So let’s think of something better.

 -

One time to think

And I say we start now

 -

Peace will win

And fear will lose

 -

It ain’t the speakers that bump hearts

It’s our hearts that make the beat

 -

Fight it, take the pain, ignite it

Tie a noose around your mind

Loose enough to breath fine and tie it

To a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain’t a noose

This is a leash and I have news for you

You must obey me

 -

Sometimes you gotta bleed to know

That you’re alive and have a soul

 -

We’re broken people

 -

Together, let’s breathe

Together, to the beat

But there’s hope out the window

So that’s where we’ll go

Let’s go outside and all join hands

 -

Don’t be afraid,

We’re going home

- 

We’re driving towards the morning, son

Where all your blood is washed away

And all you did will be undone

 -

Open up your eyes and see

The clouds above will hold you

The clouds above will sing

 -

You’re my pride and joy

Get up Johnny boy

‘Cause we all need you

Now

 -

Then my new father drained my dirty blood.

 -

Redemption’s not that far

And darkness is going down

feel free to add your own

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH DUN!

[ill-take-the-grave]

Like people ask what my favorite tøp album is but ??? Typically if I HAVE to give an answer I say self titled but that’s not really true it’s just I love the rawness of it and it’s truly beautiful. But my favorite song (if I have to choose) comes from regional at best. But the vessel era is so freaking important and it shifted my life and I watched it save my best friend and I cried when I turned my guns to fists. But there’s something about blurryface. I hate talking about my adoration of it because it’s the one everyone knows. It’s casually listened to by people all over the world and by people who don’t even know who Twenty One Pilots are. Which, don’t get me wrong, that’s totally fine. It’s just so weird because to me that album resonates in my very bones. I can’t tell you what happens when I hear the words it’s like my salvation and redemption and my fall and my climb and everything in between are being screamed back to me, telling me I’m not alone. That’s the best way I can describe it. So fam, Blurry it is. I just can’t say it.

[im-fairly-local-deactivated2018]

I feel that everyone has their own interpretations of Twenty One Pilots songs. Like you could play Ode to Sleep and everyone would have slightly different reasons to why that song means something to them. And its like that with every song and that blows my mind.

[twentyonemigraines]

I wonder what she’s up to these days

Thanks

[twenyonepilots]

Wear it 1 time, on stage as a sign. and i’ll stop tormenting your tormented fleet.

[blurjosh]

we were in an elevator and there was a sign saying the maximum amount of people allowed in it was 21 and my dad was like “you could fit that pilots band in here”

the single most important sound to ever grace my existence 

[goodnigth]

i want to talk about this. this beautiful audio clip usually goes without being noticed for a long time, and then someone will reblog it again and it will come back to my dash and every time i listen to it it kills me. there are lyrics, although it’s hard to tell. 

“i need something to kill me

i am tired of taking my own life”

i cant believe tyler joseph can just totally fuck me up in only 2 sentences.

it’s even wilder when you think about truce. truce can literally inspire people to stay alive, and it’s only 7 sentences. this is 2 sentences and it seems the complete opposite. it is so raw and so relatable and it reminds me of what i love about this band 

[thepurpleskies]

I can’t believe Fairly Local came out a year ago today. I remember the anticipation leading up to its release. I remember the tight feeling in my gut when I watched the video for the first time. I remember breaking out into a huge smile because I finally had new twenty one pilots material to look forward to (this was before the Blurryface marketing plan came into play and I didn’t sleep for three months).

I remember being in complete awe at this masterpiece of a video. I remember feeling reassured and safe as a clique member. I remember my twitter timeline blowing up with the news. I remember everyone coming together again to discuss the new song. I remember feeling like I was a part of something again.

Happy birthday, Fairly Local. You established a new era and captivated us with a small taste of what was to come after Vessel. Thank you for giving the clique a new name. We are no longer broken people; we are the few, the proud, and the emotional. l-/
