The Pantaloon
twenty one pilots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They said he had lost his mind
You have learned way too soon
You should never trust the pantaloon
Now it's your turn to be alone
Find a wife and build yourself a home
You have learned way too soon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize
The ground you walk
Lose your mind
He's seen too many stare downs
Between the sun and the moon in the morning air
How he used to hustle all the people
Walking through the fairgrounds
He's been around so long he's changed his meaning of a chair now
Because a chair now
Is like a tiny island in the sea of all the people
Who glide across the very surface that made his bones feeble
The end can't come soon enough but is it too soon?
Either way he can't deny he is a pantaloon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize
The ground you walk
Lose your mind
You like to sleep alone
It's colder than you know
'Cause your skin is so
Used to colder bones
It's warmer in the morning
Than what it is at night
Your bones are held together by your nightmare and your frights
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends, they fertilize
The ground you walk
So lose your mind
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends, they fertilize
The ground you walk
Lose your mind
"The Pantaloon" by Twenty One Pilots is a song that takes a reflective look at aging and the impact that it can have on a person's life. The beginning of the song introduces us to the singer, who lost his grandfather at a young age and was told that he had lost his mind. The line "You have learned way too soon/You should never trust the pantaloon" highlights the theme of distrust that runs throughout the song. The pantaloon is a reference to someone who has lived a long life and given up on hope or the possibility of change.
The second verse talks about the singer's current situation and how he has to continue living his life alone. He is told to find a wife and build himself a home, but he has learned that his father has become the pantaloon. The line "Lose your mind" is repeated throughout the song and can be interpreted as a warning to not give up hope or give in to despair.
The third verse reflects on the pantaloon's experiences and how he has seen too many stare downs between the sun and the moon. He used to hustle people at fairgrounds, but now he sees a chair as a tiny island in a sea of people. The end can't come soon enough, but is it too soon? Either way, he can't deny that he is a pantaloon.
Overall, "The Pantaloon" is a song that explores the impact of aging on a person's life and the importance of holding on to hope and not giving up.

Either way he can't deny he is a pantaloon
Regardless, the pantaloon cannot reject his questionable character
You like to sleep alone
You prefer to be by yourself when sleeping
It's colder than you know
The temperature is lower than what you perceive
'Cause your skin is so
This is due to the fact that your skin is
Used to colder bones
Accustomed to having colder objects next to it
It's warmer in the morning
Temperatures are higher in the morning
Than what it is at night
Compared to the night, the morning is warmer
Your bones are held together by your nightmare and your frights
You are held together by your nightmares and fears

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.
