Implicit Demand for Proof
Twenty One Pilots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're not a liar
And I know you could set fire
This day
Go ahead and make me look away
Strike me down
I am calling your lightening
Down from your dark hiding place
Go ahead and show me
Your face

Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down

I mean no disrespect
I am simply very perplexed
By your ways
Why would you let us
Use your name?

Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down
And destroy me
Rain down




Rain down
Rain down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Implicit Demand for Proof by Twenty One Pilots are very intense and emotionally charged. The song seems to be about the singer's relationship with a higher power, possibly God. The lyrics convey a sense of doubt, confusion, and even anger towards this entity. The opening lines "I know you're not a liar, and I know you could set fire, this day" suggest that the singer is questioning whether this higher power is really watching over him. He challenges this power to reveal itself in a more visible way, perhaps by striking him down with lightning. He seems to be asking for some sort of proof or validation that this higher power is real and not just a figment of his imagination.


The pre-chorus "I mean no disrespect, I am simply very perplexed, by your ways. Why would you let us use your name?" seems to express his frustration with the religious establishment and the hypocrisy he sees in people who use the name of God for their own gain. He questions why this higher power would allow humans to use its name in vain or for their own purposes. The chorus "Rain down and destroy me" is repeated several times, almost as if the singer is daring this higher power to punish him for his doubts and questions.


Overall, the song seems to be an honest exploration of the singer's relationship with God or some other higher power. It expresses a sense of disillusionment and frustration with organized religion and a desire for a more personal and genuine connection with the divine.

on Choker

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
When your body's screaming out, trust your mind's listening

for me, this sounds like sh.
