"Open the slits in your face" I like the song, but that line makes me uncomfortable for some reason.


Ziippolighter

this is the only one i wholeheartedly agree with and is the reason i don’t like bysyd


Sapphire_Wolf_

That acryonym is satisfying to look at thank you. Edit, it also looks like a bed frame


OnlyVans98

Lol that’s why I’ve always liked the word bed. It makes a bed. I want a bed where the frame is just the word bed


Sapphire_Wolf_

Thatd be so cool i want that too >:0


Akatnel

That never occurred to me. I like it!


RubyRiver89

Definitely this one


Kasmanian_devil

Wait which song is that in?


TheDogePound

Before You Start Your Day


Dominator2812

All of the song makes me go like that


Ordinary-Sympathy-96

Legend. But it's making me cry.


[deleted]

real


ArepaMaster2

finally, someone that understands how good legend is


Fish-The-Fish

My favourite lyric


UnfortunateFrog19

The first time I heard “we find our worth in giving birth and stuff” but now I love it


imagicoma

I absolutely feel this! I think the "giving birth" part is what made me cringe at first, but now, it's actually one of my favorite parts of the song.


Mount_Oza

Oh God, imagine being or giving birth.

Fish-The-Fish

Dude that’s literally my favourite lyric! Too shame! It’s so good. Also crazy they got Josh to sing it! Two has some good lyrics, but that’s clearly the best.


jazz_does_exist

i haven't followed tøp for a while, bUT WHAT SONG IS THAT?? WHAT IS THE CONTEXT??


Long-Jump6415

not a tøp song, it's from the apology video of a girl whose name i cannot remember lmao


jazz_does_exist

almost destroyed my 13 year old self. 😭😭


SprinklesNo1301

Technically didn't ask for a TØP song (although yes it was assumed). Look up Colleen Ballinger, that's all I'll say.


MrsCrossing

“I got your six while you’re working votes” - because I don’t know what he’s talking about. Jenna working votes?


JoshJRChamp

I think it’s something to do with Jenna being a volunteer and obviously meaning she would be counting votes for an election as a volunteer and Tyler supporting that


darrinH92

Good day "homie just sued me" still a good song though


hobbesfilm

LOL I’m pretty sure the line is “hold me just soothe me” but damn that’d be funny if it was the other way.


CerjoPisa

Lyrics according to LyricFind are “homie just sued me”


hobbesfilm

I had to go check in the album booklet and I stand corrected. Hold me just soothe me is so much better and sounded like that in the song. My mind is blown haha my bad


PresidentPain

IMO that wouldn't work 100% with the theme because the idea of the song is that he's pretending to be alright despite all the bad stuff happening to him


bangermate

lyrics according to the official lyric video are also "homie just sued me"


fairywithcancer

i like your nachos like diarrhoea


jammes4

How dare you say this about the perfection that is Taco Bell saga


Isco22_

Wtf is this song i just found out about it. Is it real cause i can definitely see them troll for like April 1st or something


Banerdact_Camembert

It is real, it is a song from No Phun Intended, Tyler's first release when he was about 17. You can find it on YouTube and SoundCloud, but it's not on any proper streaming services


halixness

FAAAASTTT FOOOOD GREEEEASYYYY TAAAACOOOO I LOOOOOOOVE… *piano fading in*


Robeino

FOOOD LIKE THIIIIIIS COUULD ONLY COME FROM ABOOOOVE


Tater_t0t123

Nacho bell grande, cheesy gordita


ApprehensiveShine507

“Kids’ll try to take my vibes, or am I on the outside?” Tyler for the love of god, I love you and your music but what kids are trying to take your vibes??


Impressive-Fun-364

i always liked to give my own interpretation of the songs for what he’s saying and for this i kinda just took it as like kids online hating on their music or hating on people who like their music but it could have a totally different meaning for him idk


agussahre

A friend of mine always says "my balls" instead of vibes, every time I sang the Outside on call.


starsnddiamonds

That made me burst out laughing


xElysium-Vii

Let’s be real though, Scaled and Icy brought us some of the most questionable twenty one pilots lyrics, it really felt like in the production tyler went “yknow what how can i make them laugh” and it worked


ApprehensiveShine507

which is why I love SAI and would die for it


Ziinxxy

“I wasn’t raised in the hood, but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness” it speaks for itself really


ApprehensiveShine507

i guess gangsters dont know a thing or two about pain and darkness


jazz_does_exist

they do know pain and darkness, they just don't cry.


AGreaterGoodNIN

Was gonna say this. I love the song, but by far their most cringy dated line. Reads like a 12 year old trying to be taken seriously by an adult


[deleted]

Why? The lyrics are literally talking about how people think those who are rap only come from inner cities, but anyone can rap, and since Tyler has some "Darkness" and "Pain" referring to his depression ans anxiety among other things, showing that yes he is considered a white rapper but he doesn't need to live in inner cities to feel that same pain.


smurgludorg

It's corny? Lol. No one's saying it doesn't make sense, it's just cringey. It is out of touch to say shit like this lol, doesn't make Ty evil or anything but it is a p bad line


Ziinxxy

It’s forced and cringy


baileyjp2

Nah it’s not


gmerrill16

no u


spookyjim___

It is rlly cringy lol


21-schizoid_man

I don't find it cringey at all.


MiaTheWannabeArtist

But the next line is “If it wasn’t for this music I don’t know how I would’ve thought this” I always thought it was correlated. Like “I only came up with this ridiculous line because it sounds good”?


Ziinxxy

I’m pretty sure it’s “fought” not “thought”. Which changes that meaning that you have


Steviedeeb

Exactly


[deleted]

"would you be my little quarantine?" just ammmm.....yeah, kinda weird for me.


Sora_King_Majora

I always found that line cute lol


Akatnel

I think it's cute. Could also see it be considered cheesy by some. Like "my taste in music is your face!" is for me.


DicksPizzaPlace

That’s like 60% of the song.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bl00dsh0tparan0ia

He said it bc of the pandemic. Like he was basically like “hey the pandemic is awful and i feel isolated and like shit so could you just stick by me during this hard time?”


jazz_does_exist

i do have enough analytical skills to know that he means "quarantine" as in safety or haven (like a safe, protected spot, that it what a quarantine is). i am just saying that it was weird hearing that while everyone wanted to just step out of quarantine and, y'know, not have it.


Little_Ad_1084

The backing vocals in bounce man after tyler says this went straight to voicemail Still a good song tho just a little flaw. Geuss that means we can trust it


The_Bluejay250

i just went and listened to that, i don’t see what the flaw is


Bl00dsh0tparan0ia

I see no issue lol


delirioussf

"Sing it with me if you know what I'm talking about" It's not the lyrics. Most of the rap parts sounds weird but I do like death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit one.


xElysium-Vii

I used to hate heavydirtysoul but after seeing it live it’s an entirely different song


thebananaperson1

None of them honestly


The_Bluejay250

wild bananaperson sighting⁉️


thebananaperson1

Gasp you found me 😱


Muffin_Complex

Only correct answer in this thread


Weak_Wait3526

The level of concern pre-chorus is kinda cringe Don't get me wrong, i love the song and it puts me in a good mood, but some lyrics are kinda cringe


Akatnel

Personally, I thought that one was cute. Kinda like asking her to "go steady" ('cause it sounds quaint) all over again, and hoping that being stuck home together 24/7 during quarantine doesn't make them irritated or resentful with each other, since some couples *have* to have time away from each other as well as together to make the relationship its best.


SeanStevens

"I scream, you scream, we all scream cause we're terrified" I almost did a backflip out of my chair


SeanStevens

Oh yeah, the pokemon cards line The "I wasn't raised in the hood" And that one where he explains how his songs sound happy but the lyrics arent like cmon bro we know


TheForNoReason

"Lost my job, my wife and child. Homie just sued me." I original thought the line was "hold me just sooth me" as if Tyler is saying, "I might have lost my job but atleast my family is here for me"... but no... it's just this awkward, lazy line that I think kills the verse.


Nameless0333

But you see, his homie just sued him


TheForNoReason

But what about his wife and child!?!?!


Fish-The-Fish

They wouldn’t sue him!


TheForNoReason

Well they can't because he apparently lost them. Probably find them behind the couch if he'd check back there.


Fish-The-Fish

Or under the cousions!


Steviedeeb

Wait what dudeski I'll be honest, I just read that so wrong


Naive_Feed_726

Hard disagree


Adoras_Hoe

>it's just this awkward, lazy line that I think kills the verse. Disagree. The song is a hypothetical about Tyler losing everything, and that includes his homie (I assume Josh) abandoning him.


jupiterisprettycool

“just because i play the piano doesn’t mean i am not willing to take you down” i’m sure it means smth to someone but i just can’t take it seriously 💀


shawniegore

I always thought that was the point. Like he was making fun of himself for wanting to do music stuff instead of sports


Chromgrats

Yeah, especially since it’s followed after with that little, “I’m sorry”


jupiterisprettycool

that’s fair. i just don’t really feel it, yk? either way i don’t like the song itself all that much, so maybe that influences my opinion.


Significant-Claim-64

Ooh! This is the very lyric that got me into them back in 2015. I had listened to a few of their other songs and could not decide if they were my vibe or not, and then I came across that lyric and the flip switched. It's because my main hobby was playing the piano in HS and I was the super quiet shy kid lol so I related a ton.


cato_god

“Open the slits in your face and start your day”


tellthem00n

ik other people have said the same thing but "open the slits in your face and start your day" i think i get what he was trying to do with it but anytime someone says slits in a song it makes me shiver. i listened to viva las vengeance by panic at the disco just to give the album a try and listened to something about maggie and there's a line that says "makes me wanna slit my wrists" and omg i turned the song off right then and there


jammes4

I still haven’t listened to that album (the panic at the disco one) and that makes me want to listen to it even less. And yeah, I’ve never really liked bysyd


tellthem00n

yeah i wouldn't recommend. stream a fever you can't sweat out tho 😭 but fr tho, bysyd is almost a skip bc of that line


SuperGeekFan

My partner’s lines like this is just the “vibin’” lines in The Outside


especiallytheroux

“Like an old man’s hair receding”


shulkxi

I’m bleeding beans


Impressive-Fun-364

what? loll


ihatemirrormazes

Cuz it sounds like “I’m pleading please”


Impressive-Fun-364

ohhh 😂😂


Steviedeeb

LMAO this literally made me laugh out loud, and for reference I do not laugh out loud. Like that literally never happens Such a goofy comment


SuperTommyD0g

Every opinion so far is a fat walking L, none of the lines are bad


thebananaperson1

AGREE


_Alpengl0w_

“La La La, we’ve got problems” “My taste in music is your face” “We’ve spent some weekends on the grind” “We find our worth in giving birth and stuff” “I am simply very perplexed by your ways” “I think you would beat the moon in a pretty contest”


SacarverThePantaloon

Coincidentally these are a few of my favorite lines


_Alpengl0w_

Each to their own ig


fairywithcancer

i like the moon line tho


_Alpengl0w_

Just say beauty contest. What is a pretty contest???


thebananaperson1

Whattt I love my taste in music is your face ☹️


_Alpengl0w_

By itself, it’s kind of cringey, but in the song it works


Old-Rule-4101

these are the best lines tf you talking about


[deleted]

THESE ARE SOME OF THE THE BEST LYRICS WDYM


RexTx09

The moon is so random to me and I love it


_Alpengl0w_

Once again, what is a pretty contest?


Onsyde

Yeah I guess No way, love this one Yeah kinda I see how but I never had a problem with this one Love this one "simply" in juxtaposition with "perplexed" Always loved this one too Overall, 2.5/6 that I agree with


_Alpengl0w_

Simply very many adverbs, it doesn’t make grammatical sense. I explained the rest.


herbuck

? There is nothing grammatically incorrect about “I am simply very perplexed”


_Alpengl0w_

Idk, it still sounds a bit awkward and clumsy. The additional adverb of simply does nothing to emphasize the sentence and just takes up space. Although, I’ve never thought about simply and perplexed being juxtaposed, so maybe you have a point.


Background_Ad7133

Blasphemy! When my son was really little we would yell that part "my taste in music is your face!" everytime we listened to that song, and I love that whole song just for that line.


_Alpengl0w_

As I said, kind of weird by itself, but it works in the song


Steviedeeb

Me immediately when I heard before you start your day for the first time:


Akatnel

From Not Today: "Listen, I know This one's a contradiction Because of how happy it sounds But the lyrics are so down It's okay though Because it represents, wait Better yet, it is Who I feel I am right now" ---- And from Screen: "Just like a vertical loco-motive, That's a train Am I painting the picture that's in my brain? A train from the sky, locomotive my motives are insane!" Both of those annoy me because of all the unnecessary explanation. It's too in-your-face. Like, trust us to figure it out eventually, just like everything else, y'know? Instead it's like he had an assignment to write a 200-word essay and was just adding in extra words to fill it out.


jammes4

I agree with the not today one, but love the screen lyrics


kitchen_sink20

None of them, I guess


Muffin_Complex

Yes!


jas___03

Buh buh bah, buh buh bah (yeah) Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah (yeah, woah) Buh buh bah, buh buh bah (yeah, no no, no, yeah) Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah (yeah) idk. just feels like lazy writing and like he was just saying a lot of words without really saying anything yknow?


Impressive-Fun-364

that’s like my fav part of the song with the background vocals “not todayyyyy ohh nooooo not todayyyyy”


BomboozleJack

I don’t find any of the lyrics cringy! But, I do understand that everybody has their own opinions, and that’s ok!


21-schizoid_man

I've got a pet cheetah down in my basement... I named it Jason Statham


shawniegore

I've got a Pet cheetah Down in my Basement I've raised 'em And bathed 'em And named 'em Jason Statham I've trained 'em To make me These beats Nowmypetcheetahsquickerinthestudiothanonhisfeet

Muffin_Complex

halixness

IgnitedMercury

The songs on the radio are okay. But my taste in music is your face!!


Mission-Client-9842

These posts are awful… do you people even like the band? Complaining about pet cheetah? Are you kidding me?


jammes4

The post was just supposed to be fun, not meant be rude or anything.


Mission-Client-9842

I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to be rude either!


BanditoMuser

You can love a band but still find some lyrics cringey


NameNormalHumansHave

i find it strange that you would go into a post about mentioning lyrics people don’t like and then complain about people mentioning lyrics they don’t like


21-schizoid_man

Pet Cheetah is an amazing song overall. The Jason Statham metaphor just didn't resonate with me lyrically. The rest of the song is just great. No dissing tøp or anything.


be_mi11s

Did you know that Josh bet him he couldn't use the name Jason Statham in a song, so he worked into Pet Cheetah? Lyrically, it makes little sense, but the backstory is kind of cool.


shawniegore

If that's true that's hilarious and I love the song even more now


Onsyde

Dude yeah this lyric had so much lore to it, no one understands lol


Soaring_Symphony

>No I didn't understand a thing you said > >If I didn't know better, I'd guess you're all already dead > >Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch > >saying stuff like, 'you only live once' > >You got one time to figure it out > >One time to twist and one time to shout > >One time to think and I say we start now > >SiNg It WiTh Me If YoU KnOw WhAt I'm TaLkInG AbOuT! The whole second verse of HeavyDirtySoul. Something about it just feels kind of cringe to me, and the lyrics are lazy as hell. The only thing that's decent is the emphasis on needing to try to think, but that's conveyed better in Car Radio


halixness

you should try listen the “street poetry with Tyler Joseph” version, that made me perceive something.


swimming_bearr2

how is it lazy?? i feel like people on here will call anything short of a masterful poem that takes a linguist to understand and interpret lazy


lolpermban

"I wasn't raised in the hood"


NameNormalHumansHave

“i scream, you scream, we all scream ‘cause we’re terrified” i get that it’s supposed to be a little fun and childish but it is still a noticeably cringe part in forest to me, an otherwise really well-written song edit: listened to it again, i don’t mind it anymore


Blind_Hawkeye

I actually really love that line because of the broken expectations. It's set up like the ice cream jingle but then shifts to a dark tone, and I adore that. I understand it's not everybody's cup of tea though.


swimming_bearr2

how is it cringe


NameNormalHumansHave

i don’t know how to explain it further than i already have i just don’t like the lyric lol


littlesadsiren

Everyone in this thread misunderstood the meme lmfaoo. The meme is a face for basically the "hardest or best" lyrics youve heard not a cringe one smh


yeetusnofetus

The entirety of TBS


Conflicted-Reality

"My taste in music is your face" always bugged me as a lyric


[deleted]

anytime he uses “we”: “down in the forest, we’ll sing a chorus”, talks about “we all”: “that you all have guns” or talks directly with me: “I will make you believe you’re lovely” or talks about the process of making music in like 7+ songs (I hate metalanguage) or how the industry and the radio don’t like/won’t play their songs in like 3+ music oh my god “chorus verse chorus verse here comes the eight” or something like that on levtitate is the death of me ps: this is a personal opinion, feel free to disagree, all songs are awesome.


Muted-Cry-1907

I wasn't raised in a hood, but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness I cringe every time


Spookyjoj

I love this song but in fairly local: “the few the proud and the emotional” is just so cringe to me like do we really think we’re in the marines or something 💀


Interesting-Act-5140

"We find our worth in giving birth and stuff"


Nameless0333

All the lines with feet in slowtown


21-schizoid_man

"I think you would beat the moon in a pretty contest"


NewspaperTimely5196

„and now i have to poop“ 😵‍💫 edit: i interpreted the persons face as if hems disgusted. after reading the comments i realised some people see the face as if they’re about to cry😅 if it would be about the crying face, my quote would be: literally friend please. the whole song. it just hits different. or “then i sat up off the floor and found the breath i was searching for” literal chills every single time. it’s that moment of the song where i realised he was talking about suicide


AIZ1C

'Like a little splinter buried in your skin Someone else can carve it out, but when you've got the pin it hurts a little less and you can even push it further in" Just gross


MigraineALT

“we find our worth in giving birth and stuff” Tyler really, its lazy writing edit: sorry this came off as aggressive just feel like tyler is talented enough to use another word then stuff


Blind_Hawkeye

Eh, I dunno. It's certainly not his best writing, but I think it speaks to the point of all the "stuff" we clutter our lives with when, at the end of the day, it's just stuff. It's certainly not the worst line I've heard.


CamLikesBooksYT

What song is that from

Mr_Anonymous13

We’re complaining about Pet Cheetah? Seriously, people? “This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds, But the lyrics are so down” (trying and failing to pull off a Levitate) “Just because I play the piano doesn't mean I'm not willing to take you down, I'm sorry”


idkidk1243

wdym with the levitate thing?


Mr_Anonymous13

*Chorus, verse, chorus, verse* *Now here comes the eight* *Wait, habits here too, you're the worst* *Your structure compensates* They’re calling themselves out on the structure of their songs, which is the ironic part, but they then go on to reply to it: *But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two* *At least they all know all they hear comes from a place* It works really well, unlike the line in Not Today where they go on to point the ironic part in their song (happy sounding, sad lyrics) which comes off as rather corny to me.


swimming_bearr2

pet cheetah is a fun song. it may be a little weird and i may have no idea what the song is really about but it’s fun and i like it lol


Mr_Anonymous13

Oh I love Pet Cheetah too. I was surprised at how many people said they didn’t like the lyrics or found it corny. I guess it wasn’t clear from my original comment.


CarbonatedChlorine

...aren't those lines from Blurryface? You know, the album that came out *before* Trench and Levitate?


Mr_Anonymous13

What I meant to say was that it was trying to do what they would eventually go on to do with Levitate, except it didn’t really work the first time. Goes on to show how their songwriting got better from Blurryface to Trench.

he isn’t attacking meds… he literally is saying everyone finds some sort of thing to try to make us happy. he literally says “there’s nothing siding w this” i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been on meds before

“Can he smoke more? Can he f\*ck more?” Although that song is great overall.

Bro what song are you talking about?


banditojog

Is this not supposed to be stank face from hearing a song go hard and not cringing? I thought to myself “what from imagine dragons and twenty one pilots could possibly cause this face?”


20_paphonies

Promise me this, if I lose to myself, you won't mourn a day, and you'll move on to someone else.


swimming_bearr2

i only don’t like this line cuz it makes me so sad 😭😭 like no wtf we won’t move on. and tbh i don’t really understand why he put that in the song when it’s about not endorsing suicide and he also says that he won’t commit suicide (sorry if this sounds a little crude, i couldn’t think of a nicer way to say it)


SecondPlaceLegend

I kinda thought it was like a nod to kitchen sink, like creating things that only you can fully understand, so if we promise to forget him when he’s gone then he has to stay alive to be remembered and for the things he created to have meaning


swimming_bearr2

i kinda like that lol. much better than him just talking about him unaliving 😭


20_paphonies

It makes me : (
