Stressed Out Interpretation
To me Stressed Out is about how as we grow older we become more and more aware of how we lack certain qualities and aren’t as good as other people, making us more insecure and anxious about ourselves, then remembering a past in which we didn’t care about popularity or appearance or being unique, ‘when nothing really mattered’, where we’d have fun with those we loved and were allowed to be ignorant, but then being reminded of our responsibilities and of the real world where we need to make money and need work so so hard that it stresses us out. As someone who suffers from both anxiety and depression 'My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think’ is kind of reassuring, reminding me that no matter what silly or stupid things I’m thinking there’s always someone who cares about them and that I’m not alone. The contrast between Blurryface and the first verse signifies that even through all the negative thinking or negative things in your life there is always someone listening to what you’re thinking. Blurryface is only fictional, but that just shows how strong and meaningful song lyrics can be.
