hands held higher, we'll be on fire

i saw twenty one pilots tonight for the first time in 6 years. and it’s just… when twenty one pilots was your favourite band, your actual entire life 10 years ago but you’re not a teenager anymore and don't want to die anymore and you get to sing dance and happy cry to their set with your friend who you met online 10 years ago through this band and celebrate who we were as teenage girls together and who we've become today (everything we ever wanted to be and more!!!!!!!!). how do i explain that i know every lyric to self titled vessel and bf, not because i listen much anymore but because these songs used to be my lifeline and it’s just muscle memory now i guess! how do i explain how my heart still catapulted out of my chest at the first note of hds in the middle of the setlist bc it used to be the first song on the set. who would i be today without dedicating so much of my youth to loving twenty one pilots.

omg hi this is the sweetest message to return to 🥺 i came back just to see how u all were doing after scaled and icy !! tøp lyrics always hit different and i love this era’s aesthetic. to be completely honest tho, idk how to feel about their new sound! there are defs some bangerz on the new album but i don’t think i’ll be listening to every song on repeat. bc i was a hardcore stan during these eras and have since grown out of tøp, rab, vessel, and bf have my entire heart, and their newer albums just don’t really compare imo.
