Posey used to front and play guitar in the band Disappearing Jamie, formerly known as Lost In Kostko. Their first performance was at The Roxy in Los Angeles in 2012. They released their eight-track EP You're Going to Need a Towel in 2011. Posey announced the band's breakup via Instagram on July 17, 2013.
Posey played guitar and contributed vocals in the pop punk band PVMNTS along with guitarist/bassist/vocalist Freddy Ramirez and drummer Nick Guzman. The trio released the song "Standing (On My Own Two Feet)" on June 14, 2018, on which Posey wrote about the passing of his mother in 2014. The band self-released their six-track EP Better Days on August 17, 2018. In April 2019, it was announced that Posey had left the band and was pursuing another music venture, which became the band Five North.
Five North is a pop-punk rock band formed by childhood best friends Posey and Kyle Murphy. Posey and Murphy originate from just off "The 5" (Interstate 5 in California) in Santa Clarita, California, hence the origin of the band's name Five North. The two recruited Makeout drummer Scott Eckel after being introduced by music producer and close friend John Feldmann. Five North's debut single "This Mess" was released on October 4, 2019, and their debut eight-track EP Scumbag was released on March 6, 2020, via Big Noise Music Group.
In 2021 he started releasing singles under his own name, on March 5, he released "Shut Up" with featured guest vocals from phem & Travis Barker on drums. He followed it up with the song "Happy" released on June 11. Both singles were released by Big Noise Music Group. On September 8, 2021, he released his EP titled 'Drugs' with the two previously released songs as well as five more.

Kerosene
Tyler Posey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if you let me I could show you that I'm down to fall
A cheap trick and I smoke too quick
My tongues tied so I′ll hit you with my stupid whit
So when you're ready I'll turn you around against the wall
Blue and green
My head is finally clean
Making out at a sex party
Kerosene
Burn and bleed
Just to have some clarity
Now I see
Blue and green
Neon lights surrounding me
Cuz I remember sometimes
I was off the white lines
I was nothing that I wanted to be
Kerosene
Burn and bleed
Just to have some clarity
Some clarity
I was always in a bad mood
I was
Doing blow in the bathroom
I was
Close to god but my lips were still blue
I can′t seem to come back down alone
Blue and green
My head is finally clean
And spinning with these colors
Instead of all these fucked up things
Kerosene
Burn and bleed
Just to have some clarity
Now I see
Blue and green
Neon lights surrounding me
Cuz I remember sometimes
I was off the white lines
I was nothing that I wanted to be
Kerosene
Burn and bleed
Just to have some clarity
Some clarity
Kerosene
Burn and bleed
Just to have some clarity
Now I see
Blue and green
Just to have some clarity
Some clarity
In Tyler Posey's song "Kerosene", the singer is opening up about their past struggles with addiction and self-destructive behavior. The opening lines, "About it heavy I don't wanna get you down at all, but if you let me I could show you that I'm down to fall", suggest that the singer has some reservations about opening up, but is willing to do so if given the opportunity. They go on to describe their past behavior - "I was always in a bad mood, doing blow in the bathroom" - and their struggles with finding clarity and peace of mind. But through it all, they hold onto hope that they can turn things around, as evidenced by the line "Just to have some clarity, now I see".
The imagery in the chorus of "blue and green" and "neon lights surrounding me" paints a vivid picture of the singer's experience with drugs and their journey towards sobriety. The repetition of the phrase "burn and bleed" in the chorus adds to the intensity of the lyrics and drives home the point that the singer's path to clarity was not an easy one.

About it heavy I don’t wanna get you down at all
I don't want to burden you with my struggles
But if you let me I could show you that I’m down to fall
I'm willing to take risks for you
A cheap trick and I smoke too quick
I have some self-destructive tendencies
My tongue’s tied so I’ll hit you with my stupid wit
I use humor as a defense mechanism
So when you’re ready I’ll turn you around against the wall
I'll be there for you when you need me
Blue and green, my head is finally clean
I feel refreshed and clear-headed
Making out at a sex party, was it all just a dream?
I'm reflecting on past experiences that feel surreal
Kerosene, burn and bleed, just to have some clarity
I'm willing to suffer for the sake of understanding myself
Now I see blue and green, neon lights surrounding me
I feel like I'm in a new environment with a fresh perspective
'Cause I remember sometimes I was off the white lines
I've had a past struggle with addiction
I was nothing that I wanted to be
I was unhappy with myself and my choices
I was always in a bad mood
I struggled with mental health issues
Doing blow in the bathroom
I used drugs to cope
Close to god but my lips were still blue
I felt spiritually connected but physically unwell
I can’t seem to come back down alone
I need support to overcome my struggles
And spinning with these colors, instead of all these fucked up things
I'm focusing on positive experiences rather than negative ones
Some clarity
I'm seeking clarity and understanding in my life
