Notable Song Lines #13: Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

in #music6 years ago (edited)

It's like a breath fo fresh air hearing songs talking about the life of entering adulthood, and appreciating childhood life when life is much easier. Rap rock duo Twenty One Pilots has expressed those thoughts through their song Stressed Out, a song which catapulted them to mainstream success.


YouTube/Fueled By Ramen

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I’m insecure and I care what people think

We get more aware of our actions as we age. Instead of the misconception that fears would turn minimal is not right at all. Rather, it grows even more, anxiety kicks in. We are more conscious on what we do.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out

The moment you reach adulthood, you will face different issues in life. You will try to become independent, yet you realize how life was easier and simpler when you were younger. The moment when you are still with your mom, when you have to deal with stresses of adult life. It is something you don't realize when you yearned for independence before reaching adulthood.

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money.

Those childhood games when you have to act like what you wanted to be, but the reality says on your adulthood that you should get up, work, and earn money. You'll only appreciate those good old days when you get older.

Stressed Out brought Twenty One Pilots to mainstream when it became one of the biggest hits of 2016. It's peak at number 2, and longevity is enough to list the song as one of the top singles that year. It may only peaked at number 12 in UK, but it stayed at the charts a bit long, and sales are still great.
