Not Today
twenty one pilots Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why
I just feel I'm better off
Staying in the same room I was born in
I look outside
And see a whole world better off
Without me in it trying to transform it

You are out of my mind, ooh

You aren't seeing my side, ooh
You waste all this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

Yeah

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

You are out of my mind, ooh
You aren't seeing my side, ooh
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

Heard you say
Not today
Tore the curtains down

Heard your voice
There's no choice
Tore the curtains down

Oh, don't you test me, no
Just because I play the piano

I'm not willing to take you down
I'm sorry

Overall Meaning

In twenty one pilots’ song “Not Today,” the singer questions whether it would be better for him to succumb to apathy and remain in the same place his whole life or leave his comfort zone and try to make a change. He sees the world outside as better off without him and believes that he cannot make a difference. Despite the upbeat rhythm of the song, the lyrics are downbeat and represent the singer’s actual feelings. However, he ultimately decides to face his fears and take action. He refuses to let anyone deter him from his path by saying “Not Today” and steps out into the world.

The song touches on themes of depression and feelings of inadequacy. The singer acknowledges his state of mind while refusing to be defeated by it. The lyrics encourage listeners to persevere through personal struggles and to keep fighting despite setbacks.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't know why
I'm not sure of the reason

I just feel I'm better off
I believe it's best

Staying in the same room I was born in
Living in the place where I came from

I look outside
I glance out the window

And see a whole world better off
The world is in a preferable state

Without me in it trying to transform it
It doesn't need me to improve it

You are out of my mind, ooh
I don't want you in my thoughts

You aren't seeing my side, ooh
You don't understand my perspective

You waste all this time trying to get to me
You spend your time attempting to reach me

But you are out of my mind
I don't want you on my mind

Listen, I know
I am aware

This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
It's ironic that it is cheerful

But the lyrics are so down
The words are melancholy

It's okay though
It's fine

Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
It symbolizes, even, it embodies

Who I feel I am right now
My present identity

Heard you say
I heard you mention

Not today
I refuse today

Tore the curtains down
I removed the drapes aggressively

Windows open, now make a sound
The windows are unlocked, create noise now

Heard your voice
I heard what you said

There's no choice
There isn't an option

Tore the curtains down
I removed the drapes aggressively

Windows open, now make a noise
The windows are unlocked, create noise now

Oh, don't you test me, no
Don't challenge me

Just because I play the piano
Merely because I can play the piano

Doesn't mean not
Doesn't imply that I am not

I'm not willing to take you down
I won't hesitate to put you down

I'm, I'm out of my mind, ooh
I'm going insane

I'm, I'm not seeing things right, ooh
I'm delusional

I waste all this time trying to run from you
I spend my time avoiding you

But I'm, I'm out of my mind
But I'm losing my mind

Buh buh bah, buh buh bah (yeah)

I would vote for this as the most underrated TØP song. A lot of the clique seems not to like it, but personally I think it's the most fun song to sing. 99% of the time when I'm in the shower, this is what I'm belting out.

@tj6800

5y↑117

Uh, Isle Of Flightless Birds? Friend, Please? Ruby? Clear? Two? Sorry, but this is kind of like saying that Stressed Out is underrated. This song is not underrated, because all of the songs I listed, a lot of people never knew these songs existed.

@flickering_wick

5y↑246

@CoconutSharks intheWater Underrated and under-known are two different things. Maybe a lot of people haven't heard Ruby or Isle of Flightless Birds, but of those who have, it seems most really like them. Meanwhile, I've come across a large percentage of fans who consider Not Today one of TØP's worst songs, which I strongly disagree with.
In any case, you and I certainly agree that all the songs you listed are fantastic! 😎

@tj6800

DarkEchoes Who dares not like this song? This song is a beauty, this whole freaking album is. And yes, a lot of songs that aren't well known are some of the best, and they really deserve more attention. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Am I the only one who wants to talk about the story behind this album? It's pretty much about blurryface, which represents people's insecurities, doubts, and self loathing, and I feel that this is a story of Tyler battling it. And it encourages people to battle their own Blurryface as well. Idk, just wanted to address it.

"Mask of my disguise" Message Man. I heard a message that said their songs are did with happy sounds & voices. But if you really listen what are they saying, then you know they're lying, they're lying about how happy their song is, and that made us didn't really care how dark the lyric is, we always pretend it's a happy song. The lyrics... is full of pain and darkness.

I’m rlly glad top was there for me when I was depressed I was just a 10 year old that was so not confident in myself and lonely and I listened to twenty pilots and I loved it and it helped me a lot and I got to go to one of there concerts and it was great I’m happy now and confident and very active now and I’m rlly proud of myself for a lot and I’m glad to revisit these songs now that I’m not depressed 🥲😁

@trentbizub2161

9y↑177

For me this is one of the greatest songs twenty one pilots has ever done. This is RaB level incredible. Personally, I interpret the chorus as Blurryface saying "not today," as in, he's trying to tell Tyler he's not going to go out into the world but rather cut himself off like most people with depression and other mental illnesses do. Then Tyler tears the curtains down and opens his window, as an act of defiance. Then he tells Blurryface to "make a noise," almost taunting him bc his fears and insecurities have been defeated for that day.

@NT-dw8ro

9y↑13

B Trenton I've heard one interpretation that makes it out to be both of them saying the chorus. The higher register is Blurryface, and this is their final confrontation before Tyler's victory in the next song, Goner.
It's a cool idea.

@Oithissucks

+B Trenton I'm new to Twenty One Pilots fandom. I absolutely love every single thing about them and every single word, note, and song. BUT. I don't get some things. The Blurryface vs Tyler's normal voice. What is this? A metaphor of sorts? I just haven't figured it out. Also, I've seen people mention string bean...is that some kind of Twenty One Pilots inside joke thing?

@robbierobling4907

5y↑14

Not today is probably my favorite song right now because most of the lyrics are relatable in such a way that I feel ok for a while, and the lyrics that aren't like that is like tyler is talking to us in a way that you don't hear from many other people's music. Also, notice how Tyler almost never directly answers questions at interviews? Well maybe this is his way of trying to answer those questions, when Tyler does actually answer questions they can get really deep and I quess that's kind of the way he answers the questions with lyrics. Maybe he is scared to get too deep with answers in interviews. Also a line in lane boy kind of hints back to where I said that Tyler talks to us in his lyrics 'don't trust a perfect person, don't trust a song that's flawless.' This could possibly mean that he knows he writes his lyrics differently than others, but people who write perfect songs are fake. Or maybe I'm just crazy and that's all just stupid stuff my came up with.

@1969crocodil

woaaah
my cashew brain can't handle that amazing comment

also i agree with the lane boy line, i think it means that Tyler wants to be genuine with his listeners about his struggles, and he wants other songwriters to do the same

I wonder if this is about a person who distances themselves from everyone because they feel they aren't needed, and puts on a happy persona so nobody sees their true emotions. Yet there's that one person who's seen through them all along and is trying to break down the walls they've created, but they're scared to open up so they keep running from everything. Yet finally they succeed in breaking down their walls, and they realize they can't run anymore.
