Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because it's what we want to see
And what we want we know we can't believe
We have all learned to kill our dreams
I need to know
That when I fail you'll still be here
'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you I might think twice
Alright, second verse
What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what I've told my friends?
Don't want to know who I would be
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep
I need to know
That when I fail you'll still be here
'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
And we'll make money selling your hair
But I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you I might think twice
I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you I might think twice
“We don’t believe what’s on TV” is a song by the American music duo Twenty One Pilots, written by Tyler Joseph. The acoustic version of this song was released in 2015, as part of the deluxe edition of their fourth album, “Blurryface”. The song addresses the idea of fabricated realities through media and how it alters our perception to the point where real life becomes uninteresting. The song has a slow, melancholic feeling, which addresses these themes.
The first verse talks about how media shows us exactly what we want to see, but that the things we want to see are never really the truth. This creates a generation of people who find it difficult to trust and believe in anything. They are also forced to kill their dreams, in order to conform to society's standards.
The chorus discovers the value of someone who is willing to stick around even when things start to fail. The singer finds comfort in the fact that their dignity and self-esteem will not be compromised even if he does not fulfill his dreams. It also touches on materialism and how an individual in love with another can have productive results.
The second verse explores how failure can bring about change and realization of one's limited time. It explores the idea of a person who has to change their outlook on life after a dream they have held for years is no longer achievable. It poses questions of whether the dream was wrong in the first place and what the consequences of the failure will be.
Overall, “We don’t believe what’s on TV” highlights the importance of genuine connection in a world that is becoming increasingly virtual, and how it can help individuals persevere through the toughest of times.
Line by Line Meaning
We don't believe what's on TV
We doubt the authenticity of what we see on television
Because it's what we want to see
The media presents things that we desire to see
And what we want we know we can't believe
We acknowledge that what we desire to see is likely untrue
We have all learned to kill our dreams
We've been conditioned to abandon our aspirations
I need to know
That when I fail you'll still be here
'Cause if you stick around, I'll sing you pretty sounds
And we'll make money selling your hair
I desire assurance that you'll still care about me even when I'm unsuccessful. In return, I'll serenade you and we'll profit from selling your locks of hair
I don't care what's in your hair
I just wanna know what's on your mind
I used to say I wanna die before I'm old
But because of you I might think twice
I'm not concerned about the physical appearance of your hair, I just want to understand your thoughts. My prior belief that I want to die young has changed because of you
Alright, second verse
What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what I've told my friends?
Don't want to know who I would be
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep
In the second verse, the singer ponders if his aspirations won't come to fruition. He wonders if he'll alter what he's shared with his peers or if he'll dislike the person he becomes if he stops dreaming

Lyrics:
We don't believe what's on TV,
Because it's what we want to see,
And what we want, we know we can't believe,
We have all learned to kill our dreams.
I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.
I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what I've told my friends?
Don't wanna know who I would be,
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep.
I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.
But I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.
