twenty one pilots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth turns, from sanity
Taking my only friend I know,
He lives a lie, his name is Hope
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears
And my friends shrink smaller as night grows near
When the sun is coming, window soothes
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun make the hills its grave
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on yeah yeah
I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
By the time the night wears off, the dust is down
And shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground,
Waiting for the night's return
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
The lyrics of the song Semi-Automatic by Twenty One Pilots is a reflection of the singer's inner turmoil and his struggles with mental health issues. The song begins with an introduction of the night, symbolizing the darkness and fear that engulfs the singer when he is alone. The lyrics, "The earth turns from sanity, taking my only friend, he lives a lie, his name is hope" depict the singer's belief that hope is merely a facade that will deceive him.
Throughout the song, the singer portrays himself as someone who is "double-sided," implying that he will never be satisfied with himself. The line, "I kind of like it when I make you cry," signifies the singer's self-destructive tendencies and his inability to deal with his emotions.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more optimistic, with the singer talking about "the warm glow of survival of the day" and the hope that comes with the rising sun. However, this hope is short-lived and overshadowed by the fear of the approaching night.
Overall, the song talks about the struggle with mental health issues, the fear of the unknown, and the search for hope in a world that seems dark and hopeless.
Line by Line Meaning
Night falls, with gravity
The dark, depressing feelings start to overcome me as the night comes.
The earth turns, from sanity
As the night comes, my mind starts to lose touch with reality.
Taking my only friend I know,
He lives a lie, his name is Hope
My only hope for the night is fading away, leaving me alone to face my fears.
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
I have a complex personality with contradicting desires. I have a tendency of hurting others due to my inner struggles.
The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears
And my friends shrink smaller as night grows near
The nightmares of the night fade in the light of the day. However, my insecurities grow larger, and my allies become scarce as darkness approaches again.
When the sun is coming, window soothes
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun make the hills its grave
The sight of sunrise provides me with comfort and hope for the upcoming day. However, I am aware that this state of peace will be short lived.
I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
I have an inconsistent and unpredictable way of dealing with life, but despite that, I will still continue to live and persevere.
By the time the night wears off, the dust is down
And shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground,
Waiting for the night's return
As the night fades away, I become more resolute and ready to face the darkness once again.

Night falls with gravity,
The earth turns from sanity,
Taking my only friend I know,
He leaves a lot, his name is "Hope".
I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.
The horrors of the night melt away,
Under the warm glow of survival of the day,
Then we move on,
My shadow grows taller, along with my fears,
And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near.
When the sun is climbing window sills,
And the silver lining rides the hills,
I will be saved for one whole day,
Until the sun makes the hills its grave.
I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.
I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside my mind.
Doo,
Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo... [8x]

I'm semi-automatic, my prayer's schizophrenic,
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on.
By the time the night wears off,
The dust is down and shadows burn,
I will rise and stand my ground,
Waiting for the night's return.
I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.
I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside my mind.

Some words from the man himself:
"My flow's not great, okay, I conversate with people
Who know if I flow on a song I'll get no radio play
While you're doing fine, there's some people and I
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse us while we sing to the sky.

So there. You don't have to like him. Doesn't matter. Some of us love him, and whether he's talented or not doesn't matter. We love him because he is honest and his music is relational.
Now, some of us do care what you think. You don't have to like him, but you ought to have enough respect that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all "in my opinion".
With all that, I agree with Iaela (suh-weeet name, btw). Go sit in the corner and think about what you said!
In the meantime, I'll have your 10 followers tell how great of a rapper you are.
