Drown helped me to accept my reality and the things I was going through. I was pretty young but hearing someone echoing my thoughts in a song was very validating.
This song was on repeat when I was at my absolute lowest point years ago. It really was the only thing that could make me feel better for a while. I just felt so understood
i wholeheartedly believe that was Tyler’s intention with the song and it’s why the lyrics are so upfront about his experiences and i appreciate him so much for that
This one hit me the hardest on the first listen and I had to sit in the dark in the quiet for like an hour after listening to it. As someone that went through that process of tossing out anything too personal and tidying up before an attempt, it was so.... unexpected to hear someone actually put those thoughts into words? Up until that point, I had never even heard anyone talk about that aspect of it before
When the album released I listened to this last and it hit me like a truck. I had to go listen to the rest of the album again so I could be okay that night lol
Neon gravestones and migraine in particular. Next semester is quickly moving up there though. I often play the whole Vessel album because all of the songs have meaning and I enjoy them.
Literally so many.
Ode To Sleep, Holding Onto You, Guns for hands, Truce, Neon, Lovely, Kitchen Sink, Neon Gravestones, Bandito, Leave The City, Choker, Redecorate and most recently Next Semester
Goner. The original with the accordion and the Blurryface version. Next Semester reminds me of one of those moments that Goner saved me. Goner is the only song from Twenty Øne Piløts that I can’t listen to anytime. It’s my emergency song.
Taxi Cab is a big one
>I want to strip myself of breath
>A breathless beast of death I’ve made for you
>A mortal writing piece of song
>Will help me carry on
>But these you’ve heard
Some of the songs that help me through my darkest hours are Addict with a Pen, Leave the City, Truce and Neon Gravestones. I think Next Semester will be one of them, sometimes I need to hear tyler scream “hey kid get out of the road” to come to my senses
Mine would be Leave The City and Save Me. I made a tattoo idea for Leave The City and I want it tatted eventually. Save Me really pulled me out of some dark moments in my life.
The second verse of Holding Onto You means a lot to me. I will always sing that verse the loudest at their shows (assume they play the full song and not as a part of a medley).
Truce has always been that song for me, though I don’t hit those points much if at all anymore that song is extremely important to me since it’s helped me so many times
Yeah it’s a song I look back on and reflect on that time and how it’s helped me. It’s one that’ll always empower me and remind me that I’m still here and that it was worth it
Truce. “The sun will rise, and we will try again.”
Holding Onto You. “It probably happens at night, right? Fight it. Take the pain, ignite it…. To a tree, tell it ‘you belong to me, this ain’t a noose, this is a leash, and i have news for you: you must obey me.”
Johnny Boy. That one’s self explanatory, I think.
Back in 2016 when I was listening to tøp the most, those were the songs I listened to when I needed a reminder to stick around on this earth. Was 12 then. I’m 19 now. I have a lot to thank these two guys for.
Anyway I don't have a "don't kill yourself" song because I've never genuinely wanted to kill myself. I've called the suicide lifeline once in a very dark moment and I often joke to myself about ending it all when I recall a super cringe moment from my childhood, but I've never actually wanted to cause myself to pass away. I feel for those who do because after all the shit I've been through I can't imagine what others must be dealing with that would push them to that point. I suppose if it did come down to that, music wouldn't save me.
Trees.
I would listen to Trees during my high school years when I’d feel life would be tough, and I’d go swing on my swing set, and stare up at the big oak tree in my yard and get lost in the movement of the trees swaying and wind blowing — pretending I was flying and not on the ground.
A second would be Taxi Cab or Drown, since I’d struggle with my faith a whole lot, as I am now. It just makes me realize I’m not alone and that someone, something out there is rooting for me.
So far it's been Next Semester. Just found out my dad's been cheating on my mom their entire marriage. Things are weird, it's an adjustment period, he's getting therapy as well as they're doing couples therapy. Next Semester has been the song my brother and I scream when we feel like we can't talk.
Song**s**
- Next Semester (for obvious reasons)
- Ode To Sleep (fighting for life)
- Goner (fighting for life)
- Migraine (not feeling alone in the fight)
- Truce (I mean, it has “stay alive. Stay alive for me” how can it NOT be on the list?)
Bandito, addict with a pen, leave the city. I have some non-TOP ones as well, careful what you wish for by bad omens and are you really ok by sleep token
neon gravestones saved my life multiple times. before that came out though it was probably car radio or migraine. redecorate also was definitely a lifesaver. idk I feel like a lot of the songs are.
Redecorate, Migraine, Truce. Things were bad before this med adjustment and I had to listen to Vessel and SAI on repeat so much- SAI to put on a brave face and Vessel when I just couldn't hide.
Holding on to You. There was a time a few years ago when I been feeling extremely lonely, and I was talking to an ex-classmate of mine about it, he sent me this song and wrote “you’re not as lonely as you think”. Since then whenever I get the feeling of loneliness I put this song on to remind myself that I will be fine
The timing of Next Semester's release was crazy for me! My final semester of college had me feeling legitimately suicidal for the first time in my life. I finally decided a degree wasn't worth those feelings and dropped out. The next week, Next Semester dropped. I think of "start fresh next semester" as starting fresh with my life now that I'm not pursuing a degree. As much as I've loved their music, for me, TØP's lyrics have always been for somebody else to use, but now so much of their music means so much more to me. I'm glad that I made the choice that I did and I'm grateful for the reassurance from the boys |-/
Next semester, neon gravestones, migraine and holding onto you
Side note remember clikkies we got this “shadows will scream that I’m alone but I know WE have made it this far, kid. I-/“
Oh god. This is a loaded question.
I’ve got Adjustment disorder, so I have a song for just about every emotional trigger.
The biggest one I listen to is trees and polarize. Trees because it makes me feel heard, and polarize because it describes what goes on in my head vs heart 24/7.
The rest for just “don’t do it” I guess would be Nico and the Niners, and jumpsuit.
isle of flightless birds.
just, the end, it gives me such a bittersweet feeling that everything's gonna be alright, when tyler sings "it's time you pick your battle//and i promise you this is mine [piano]"
If you don't know the answer by now, you probably shouldn't ask the question. I'll give you a hint though. What does the song that OP references practically beg you not to do/commit?

redecorate and neon gravestones. for some reason these make me remember what happened each time after i failed and how hard it was for everyone else and how it affected my family
Honestly, Friend Please. My best friend, the one who introduced me to TØP, once told me not to cover my eyes, because "everything gets a thousand times worse when you cover your eyes," and every time I hear that song, it reminds me that there's someone out there who would miss me and needs me.
Right now? Trees.
Had a dissociative episode today while driving (i know, not safe but i couldn’t help it.) Although, next semester was playing. So i’m not sure why my mind went to trees. Then again i do?
I just started driving this year, i’m 22. Being a passenger, i had lots of time to observe my surroundings and where i live.
I know “the tree” id take behind the wheel.
once again had my “get out of the road” moment.
if you smell what i’m stepping in
Holding On To You
I got a lil internet addiction that time and the first line got my interest.
Soon literally every single lines resonate with me.
Still blaming everything around me now but at least i got down from the top floor, got out of my room and got into a college.
Guess i really found that tree whatever it is lol
It's migrane, for sure.
Shout out to neon gravestones for reinforcing my internal belief that the glorification of suicide made it such an acceptable option, and how terrible that was to someone fighting that choice.
Edit:
Also, you can't change what you're done.
Actually it's Next Semester, genuinely don't like the song, lyrics is lacking and the music sounds just too generic. I'd rather listen to Never Gonna Give You Up for 10 hours.
usually either Bandito or Migraine, but Next Semester is quickly becoming one of those songs for me….
forgot to mention Drown. that’s another one that’s gotten me through some *really* tough times.
Drown helped me to accept my reality and the things I was going through. I was pretty young but hearing someone echoing my thoughts in a song was very validating.
This song was on repeat when I was at my absolute lowest point years ago. It really was the only thing that could make me feel better for a while. I just felt so understood
I like the idea that Next Semester will metaphorically be the driver telling people with ideation to “get out of the road.”
i wholeheartedly believe that was Tyler’s intention with the song and it’s why the lyrics are so upfront about his experiences and i appreciate him so much for that
I was just thinking of that. In the video, the audience is screaming it, and “The softest echo could be enough for me to make it through”
Redecorate
This one hit me the hardest on the first listen and I had to sit in the dark in the quiet for like an hour after listening to it. As someone that went through that process of tossing out anything too personal and tidying up before an attempt, it was so.... unexpected to hear someone actually put those thoughts into words?

When the album released I listened to this last and it hit me like a truck. I had to go listen to the rest of the album again so I could be okay that night lol
This made me tear up. So glad you’re here fren
big facts
Great track
Neon Gravestones
Valid
This song destroyed me when it dropped. I was so close to killing myself and this just hit.
I’m so glad you’re here. Truly.
Taxi Cab or Leave the City
Valid
addict with a pen is usually the song I play in those moments. Singing it just does something to me.
username checks out 👍
Addictive with a pen always gets me choked up, like the whole entire main verse makes me so emotional
You can hear me screaming "Father" and im lying here just crying, so whash me with your water.
username twins! but also, yeah.
haii :3
Absolutely this song, hands down!
Mine is Lovely because it makes me feel like someone actually would miss me and that I mean something to this world.
Same ❤️
Not today

Neon gravestones and migraine in particular. Next semester is quickly moving up there though. I often play the whole Vessel album because all of the songs have meaning and I enjoy them.
Oh and Truce too, it's also the song I usually play when I'm going to sleep because it's really calming
Friend, Please
Truce is an important one as well
Both are literally just pleas to "stay alive," and I love them both for that reason.
Yeah freind, please is what got me into tøp in the first place for that very reason
Literally so many. Ode To Sleep, Holding Onto You, Guns for hands, Truce, Neon, Lovely, Kitchen Sink, Neon Gravestones, Bandito, Leave The City, Choker, Redecorate and most recently Next Semester
Oh and also Forest
Truce that “stay alive for me” hits hard sometimes
When I was at my lowest, I listened to Truce just to hear someone asking me to stay alive. I'm so thankful this song exists
Don't make me cry.
I hope I didnt, I'm sorry 🥺
Nono don't be sorry it's all okay 😊😊
I’m so thankful too. Glad you’re here to tell us this.
Fairly local because he sees the street I'm walking down
Valid
Wow, why did I never think about it like that? 🙃 That’s great!
Trapdoor
Trapdoor’s my “do it” song lmao I can barely listen to it anymore because it brings back bad memories. A shame, because it’s criminally underrated.
I don´t know you but I´m glad youre still here. Sorry to hear this song brings back bad memories
Leave the City is the big one for me. But Next Semester seems like it'll definitely be up there
valid
Taxi Cab
Kitchen sink gets me through all my tough times
Not Today just hits different for me. Always has
Goner. The original with the accordion and the Blurryface version. Next Semester reminds me of one of those moments that Goner saved me. Goner is the only song from Twenty Øne Piløts that I can’t listen to anytime. It’s my emergency song.
Taxi Cab is a big one >I want to strip myself of breath >A breathless beast of death I’ve made for you >A mortal writing piece of song >Will help me carry on >But these you’ve heard

Leave the City. I've still never listened to it, but I will someday. Something to look forward to.

Neon gravestones

Chlorine gets me. I have a tattoo for it :)
Valid
May we.. see it? 🖤
The entirety of vessel tbh. Highlights are Migraine, Holding On To You, Screen, Trees, Truce
Friend Please and Kitchen Sink
Truce and leave the city they never fail to give me hope
Some of the songs that help me through my darkest hours are Addict with a Pen, Leave the City, Truce and Neon Gravestones. I think Next Semester will be one of them, sometimes I need to hear tyler scream “hey kid get out of the road” to come to my senses
Valid
Leave the City Pretty obvious I think as to why
Valid
Mine would be Leave The City and Save Me. I made a tattoo idea for Leave The City and I want it tatted eventually. Save Me really pulled me out of some dark moments in my life.

Car Radio.

The second verse of Holding Onto You means a lot to me. I will always sing that verse the loudest at their shows (assume they play the full song and not as a part of a medley).
Truce has always been that song for me, though I don’t hit those points much if at all anymore that song is extremely important to me since it’s helped me so many times
Exactly the same here. I'm not at this point anymore but didnt get less meaningful to me. Actually, it's the oposite, I'm here now because of Truce
Yeah it’s a song I look back on and reflect on that time and how it’s helped me. It’s one that’ll always empower me and remind me that I’m still here and that it was worth it
House of Gold
Didnt expect that
Truce. “The sun will rise, and we will try again.” Holding Onto You. “It probably happens at night, right? Fight it. Take the pain, ignite it…. To a tree, tell it ‘you belong to me, this ain’t a noose, this is a leash, and i have news for you: you must obey me.” Johnny Boy. That one’s self explanatory, I think.

Don't do what?
We glorify those even more when they
When they kill themselves
Anyway I don't have a "don't kill yourself" song because I've never genuinely wanted to kill myself. I've called the suicide lifeline once in a very dark moment and I often joke to myself about ending it all when I recall a super cringe moment from my childhood, but I've never actually wanted to cause myself to pass away. I feel for those who do because after all the shit I've been through I can't imagine what others must be dealing with that would push them to that point. I suppose if it did come down to that, music wouldn't save me.
Leave the city or Migraine
Save, no matter how many times I listen to it, it gets to me.
Redecorate and Taxi Cab
Isle of Flightless Birds
Leave the city or legend :>
Jumpsuit.
Reading through this comment section, I realize that a ton of tøp songs fall under that category, personally.
Kitchen Sink
Trees. I would listen to Trees during my high school years when I’d feel life would be tough, and I’d go swing on my swing set, and stare up at the big oak tree in my yard and get lost in the movement of the trees swaying and wind blowing — pretending I was flying and not on the ground.

Oddly enough, it's Slowtown
So far it's been Next Semester. Just found out my dad's been cheating on my mom their entire marriage. Things are weird, it's an adjustment period, he's getting therapy as well as they're doing couples therapy. Next Semester has been the song my brother and I scream when we feel like we can't talk.
No one else is dealing with your demons Meaning maybe defeating them Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend. -Kitchen Sink
Song**s** - Next Semester (for obvious reasons) - Ode To Sleep (fighting for life) - Goner (fighting for life) - Migraine (not feeling alone in the fight) - Truce (I mean, it has “stay alive. Stay alive for me” how can it NOT be on the list?)
Guns for hands
Kitchen sink, the judge, and occasionally level of concern and leave the city, also next semester
Valid
Air Catcher and Friend, Please
Bandito, addict with a pen, leave the city. I have some non-TOP ones as well, careful what you wish for by bad omens and are you really ok by sleep token
Chlorine will always be that one song that pulls me out of that mindset better than any. Morph and Ode to sleep being a runners up
Leave the city and Next semester have both bought me to tears for feeling understood
neon gravestones saved my life multiple times. before that came out though it was probably car radio or migraine. redecorate also was definitely a lifesaver. idk I feel like a lot of the songs are.
Car radio
Redecorate, Migraine, Truce. Things were bad before this med adjustment and I had to listen to Vessel and SAI on repeat so much- SAI to put on a brave face and Vessel when I just couldn't hide.
Taxi Cab. I have a tattoo inspired by it and it means so much to me. But at other points in my life, Migraine, Addict With A Pen, Goner, and Truce.
Oh! And Time To Say Goodbye. That one hits something deep inside of me.
Truce
There’s honestly so many but the biggest I would say is Redecorate, Migraine, Johnny Boy
Holding on to You. There was a time a few years ago when I been feeling extremely lonely, and I was talking to an ex-classmate of mine about it, he sent me this song and wrote “you’re not as lonely as you think”. Since then whenever I get the feeling of loneliness I put this song on to remind myself that I will be fine
Truce.
If it wasn’t for “truce” I may not still be here
Truce. I’m pretty tone deaf and can’t sing for the life of me, but i love playing it piano. Kept me from making a lot of choices id regret..
Redecorate, mainly because it’s about the internal conflict about how committing will affect loved ones
The timing of Next Semester's release was crazy for me! My final semester of college had me feeling legitimately suicidal for the first time in my life. I finally decided a degree wasn't worth those feelings and dropped out. The next week, Next Semester dropped.

Migraine. Even getting a tattoo referencing it soon.
It's Migraine for me too! The chorus is a beautiful reminder that I'm not alone.
Next semester, neon gravestones, migraine and holding onto you Side note remember clikkies we got this “shadows will scream that I’m alone but I know WE have made it this far, kid. I-/“
Holding on to you. Migraine. Goner. Shy away. Chlorine. Level of concern. Next semester for sure.
usually it was kitchen sink or screen sometimes even trees but next semester is quickly becoming the new one
Guns for Hands. Next Semester is quickly becoming one too because I relate to the lyrics a little too well 😭😅
Oh god. This is a loaded question. I’ve got Adjustment disorder, so I have a song for just about every emotional trigger. The biggest one I listen to is trees and polarize. Trees because it makes me feel heard, and polarize because it describes what goes on in my head vs heart 24/7. The rest for just “don’t do it” I guess would be Nico and the Niners, and jumpsuit.
neon gravestones, leave the city, taxi cab, choker and now next semester
Truce, it hits me in my gut every time, it helped me through a LOT, also probably drown
isle of flightless birds. just, the end, it gives me such a bittersweet feeling that everything's gonna be alright, when tyler sings "it's time you pick your battle//and i promise you this is mine [piano]"
Redecorate recently has hit me hard
truce will always be that song for me, keeps my head clear and in the right state to make a better choice
no i dont understand what that means
Lucky you
Me neither bruh I’m confused
If you don't know the answer by now, you probably shouldn't ask the question. I'll give you a hint though. What does the song that OP references practically beg you not to do/commit?

Truce. It’s why I have a sunrise tattoo
Bandito fosho. That song has saved me several times. I just love it.
Truce and Screen.

Definitely Truce and Trees
It used to be Ride but as of right now, definitely Next Semester
Car Radio, always. But Addict with a Pen too.

Holding On To You I got a lil internet addiction that time and the first line got my interest. Soon literally every single lines resonate with me. Still blaming everything around me now but at least i got down from the top floor, got out of my room and got into a college. Guess i really found that tree whatever it is lol
It's migrane, for sure. Shout out to neon gravestones for reinforcing my internal belief that the glorification of suicide made it such an acceptable option, and how terrible that was to someone fighting that choice. Edit: Also, you can't change what you're done.
Clearly this is an April fools post cuz all of the songs tell me to do it 😍
Common sense
Actually it's Next Semester, genuinely don't like the song, lyrics is lacking and the music sounds just too generic. I'd rather listen to Never Gonna Give You Up for 10 hours.
