[hiero]

Hey everyone, sorry I was inactive last week and this week, i've been struggling in Algebra and that was my top priority ;-;

Anyways, i'm so proud to be chosen as a moderator, thank you!

My favorite song(s) are Glowing Eyes, Forest, Be Concerned, Blasphemy, A Car, a torch, a death, an so many more, those are just probably at the tippy TOP of my favorites, haha.
Gosh, favorite album huh...
Can't really choose between self-titled and RaB

They're such a magnificent duo!

@pastel gore hello fren it's always good to see a new addict

WITH A PEN


puns aside, i have sooo many favorite songs. holy cow. my favorite album is totally r@b - i got into them during the r@b era i'm such a grandpa and i never got over it tbh. i really love the lyrical style of self titled, but music wise it's not really my thing generally :< i dunno, i'll probably suddenly get weird cravings for self titled randomly and get re-obsessed, haha

i know for a fact that my first obsessive song was easily ode to sleep. it was easily my favorite off of r@b for a looong period of time, til i came to my senses and realized slowtown, duh, easily the best. i used to listen to it on a loop on my suuper old ipod and i'd always hook it up to the aux chord in my mom's car, which was how i got her into them!!
i'm not really sure what my definitive list of favorites would be. i sorta love every one of their songs for different reasons, weather it be the meaning behind it, the style, the lyrics or just the beat, there's no song i could sit down and say that i despise. heck, you could release a loop of tyler burping into a mic and i'd buy it on itunes, stream it on spotify and loop it on youtube constantly, not gonna lie lmao

i guess i'd say my ultimate favorite favorites would probably be ties between glowing eyes, trapdoor, fake you out and the judge. fun fact - the judge was the first song i learned when i got my first personal ukulele!
also, can i just say that trapdoor is literally the most emo song because it follows the same progression as most my chemical romance songs (a known big influence for Tyler and Josh in music and in terms of theatrics) and Tyler does a similar vocal method to Gerard? how emo can you get, lmao

oh dear oh dear oh dear frens i am so sorry i have been gone for a while i was in a car crash and with finals and all of the end of the year stuff coming up things jsut got crazy but i have returned!!!!

my favorite album changes a lot, because they all represent different things to me. ive found that, over the past few months, ive really come to appreciate the lyrical content of blurryface. like, i know a lot of people don't love blurryface, but i think that it's brought them to an entirely different place in terms of style and writing.
like, self titled was very amateur lyrically. don't get me wrong, i love the lyrical style and content of self titled, but it was a throw together- closer to being poetry than song lyrics. rab and vessel improved somewhat in terms of sounding like songs, which was actually somewhat nerve wracking because I was afraid that with their next album they would lose the genuine emotion and honesty in the lyrics and lose the slam-poem-esque style which i had come to love.
my first impression of bf was that they ah indeed lost it for a more mainstream style, until i was on my third or fourth run of the album and the lyrics just hit me.
'she's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther, than i've ever been.' can you think of a more tyler way of expressing love for someone? or a more accurate way? tyler writes about love so honestly in tear in my heart, it honestly makes me want to cry. he doesn't describe the big parts of love. he talks about the small things- he talks about how, when jenna is asleep in his car, he wants to do everything he can to avoid waking her up. he talks about how it's not always easy- she's the tear in his heart. sometimes she hurts him, but he loves her anyways. it's beautiful.
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 im old but because of you i might think twice. this, to me, is one of the most accurate descriptions of friendship there is or ever will be. again, it's a lyric that always makes me start tearing up.
and let's talk about stressed out. i know a lot of fans accused it of turning the boys into, sellouts, but honestly it's so popular because their writing got better, while they retained the lyrical content of past songs. this entire song is so reminiscent of forest and slowtown. "I'd make a condle out of it if i ever found it try to sell it never sell out of it id probably only sell one." that's a lyric that would never be in a mainstream song- it's 100% tyler- but it works because their writing has improved SO MUCH.
i just really, really love blurryface okay?
however the #1 spot in my heart will always belong to no phun intended. just sayin.

now in terms of songs. OH BOY THE SONGS.
taxi cab and anathema are my all time favorite top songs, but ive already made several posts here describing why i love them, so let's talk about some other songs and lyrics that i love.
forest. FOREST FOREST FOREST FOREST. tyler said in an interview somewhere that, at one point during his youth, he screamed into an empty forest 'is anybody out there?' and that that moment inspired much of this song, which i find beautiful. but let's talk about lyrics. i don't wanna be heard. i wanna be listened to. does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name? honestly this lyric is my favorite. the entire song is backwards and full of strange thoughts that don't make sense to some people, and that's beautiful because it looks just like the inside of my head. i cant even explain how much i love that lyric. i scream, you scream, we all scream cause we're terrified, of what's around the corner. we stay in place cause we don't wanna loose our lives, so let's think of something better. now, i really struggle with multiple anxiety disorders, and this lyric embodies what my daily life feels like. the world is terrifying, and this lyric is so reassuring because someone else realizes that. someone else realizes it, and someone else is fighting to find a better way to deal with it all.

semi automatic. im never what i like, im double sided and i just cant hide, i kinda like it when i make you cry, cause im twisted up inside my mind. this lyric is another one that embodies my mental health struggles, particularly disassociation disorders. i cant even express how much i love this song. i want to listen to it for the rest of forever, it's so incredible.

i could go on with more about those two songs, and more songs in general, but this post is already too long oops

oh dear oh dear oh dear frens i am so sorry i have been gone for a while i was in a car crash and with finals and all of the end of the year stuff coming up things jsut got crazy but i have returned!!!!

oh no! I hope you are doing ok, fren!
also I completely agree with what you said about blurryface, and basically everything else.
the writing has definitely matured a lot, but it is still so true to their style.
and you actually put into words the exact thing I have been trying to think about in relation to their music and my anxiety and problems. which is really helpful to me to be able to think about in clear terms now. so thanks for that.

my favorite album is probably self titled, to be honest. i'm not really sure why?? it is the one I have probably listened to the most. and i can kind of relate to a lot of the lyrics, even if only in a conceptual way, if that makes sense. it probs doesn't

my favorite songs currently I think are truce, addict with a pen, slow town, and taxi cab.
truce has always been huge for me, since I first heard it. it has kind of helped me through a lot, and I just really like the way it sounds. and I love the lyrics of addict with a pen, so so much. I mean, I love all their lyrics, but these ones I feel particularly strongly. slow town is just perfect in every way. so random and wonderful. and taxi cab is one of the first songs I listened to, and I really like the story it tells, even if i'm not exactly sure what the story is. it just has a narrative feel to it that I really like.
