☯ Blurryface ☯

“I’ve made it out

I feel weightless. I know that place had always held me down, but for the first time, I can feel the beauty I had hoped in. It’s been three nights now, and my breathing has changed, it’s slower and more full. It’s like the air out here is actually worth taking in. 

I can see it back in the distance, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t constantly on my mind. I wish I could turn that fear off, but maybe the further I go, the less that fear will affect me. I feel betrayed by what I assumed was home - if I ever end up back there, I won’t be able to look at it the same way. 

They are asleep. They are so sure that they know the truth, and carry on throughout their day with the same meaningless task. They’ve forgotten to look up, and to look outward, to understand that this isn’t about ‘in there.’ 

This is about ‘out here.’

This new world surrounds me. I used to think the walls back home were massive - these green hills engulf me and place me right in the middle_ Trench is quite precautious at times, and it’s to grow weary. But it’s real and it’s true and I’d much rather endure reality than to mindlessly be obedient to a life that someone created for me. I’ve obsessed about this world for so long, that it feels more like home than anything I’ve experienced. Somehow, in the vast openness, I feel more protected than ever.

The landscape feels endless, and I found myself walking for hours without any true evidence of getting further down. But I’ve seen plants and colors out here that I’m not sure I’ve witnessed before. There’s a beauty in the strangest places - and the curiosity of what’s next continues to motivate me. 

I wonder who else is out here. If what I assumed inside is true, there’s got to be more like me. Sometimes I’ll feel a presence, or think I see something in my peripheral, only to look up and see nothing. It’s just another thing that I’m afraid of that also excites me. It all just confirms all of the things that I hoped to be true for all of this time. I am out here and I am very alive. I’m sometimes scared, but always discovering something new, and I will not stop. Cover me!

The driver in HDS is the same person as the horseman in JS, who is it though?

BlurryFace.

How can this be?

Well, Blurrtface’s influence is marked by black and or red paint on the neck and around the eyes.

The horseman smears black paint on the sides of Tyler’s neck, and it appears to envelope his whole neck. He then follows the horseman with a dull, expressionless face.

(This is completely ignoring the vale over his face, his red cloak, and the white and black paint)

But once the flower pettles begin to fall, we can see that the paint is back to lines on his neck, and he bares a visibly angered expression

And when he runs

They are gone completely. BlurryFace has lost its influence over Tyler.

Tyler then falls, and BlurryFace catches up to him…

But someone marked with blue paint stops him. Mind you, blue is a symbol of defeat. But he bares another color.

Yellow.

It can be assumed that this mysterious guardian protects Tyler.

This leaves two questions

Who is this mysterious figure?

Where the hell is Josh?

Well, remember Josh’s hair at the beginning of Heavydirtysoul?

He even has a sleeve tattoo on the same arm.

Remember this gif?

Those letters form this:

“U n STILL i DONT c KNOW o HIS n REAL i NAME c DO o U ?”

The extra letters form:

“NICO NICO”

What if Nico is the name of him?:

Okay, to me he’s NOT Blurryface. To me Blurryface is “gone”. (Read the whole thing; I came up with something and it will explain why this is not valid anymore)

In Nico and the Niners, Tyler sings this:

“I’m flying from a fire, from Nico and the Niners.”

So, we can assume that Nico is bad. But now, this guy in red is literally trying to keep Tyler inside DEMA, he doesn’t want him to escape, so, he’s also .. bad.

The Niners, maybe they’re the Bishops

“When Bishops come together they will know that, Dema don’t control us.”

They’re 9 Bishops in the pic. The rest is more like an audience?. It looks like a kind of ritual or something.

So in conclusion:

Nico is the guy in red.

The Niners are the Bishops.

Nico and the Niners are the ones who control DEMA.

They’re trying to stop Tyler’s escape.

Maybe DEMA is like a place in your head, just think about it:

“And now I just sit in silence”

“Sometimes quiet is violent”

“There’s no hiding for me

"I’m forced to deal with what I feel. There is no distraction to mask what is real”

Maybe all of this is happening in Tyler’s head?

Like:

He’s in silence and when he’s in silence he starts to think and all of that thinking led him in a place in his mind that now he can’t escape:

DEMA.

Again, all of this is just my point of view and my theory

EDIT:

This where I retracted myself on the whole “Blurryface is gone” thing

Okay, I just thought of something… What kind of name is Blurryface? Like, seriously, who is named Blurryface.. I know we can just say that this represents Tyler’s insecurities so it doesn’t have to have a proper name..

but: “U still don’t know his real name do u”.

WHAT IF ALL THIS TIME THIS THING, THIS BLURRY FACE, DID HAVE A NAME AND IT WAS NICO!!

Edit 2:

My mom came up with something!!!

She asked me: What is the Niners? What represent?

And then she said:

Nine insecurities?

It makes sense:

There are 9 circles in Blurryface, nine insecurities.. (?

I’LL BE RIGHT THERE…
