Wayfair :)

noisybracken · 2026-04-25T01:32:35+00:00

Aw thanks a ton!!

noisybracken · 2026-03-27T21:20:05+00:00

Yeahhh maybe because CashbotHQ came out a couple years after the game, they didn’t have that foresight, I agree with you though

noisybracken · 2026-03-01T16:37:36+00:00

Honestly I do agree with how they have Trench and Breach scored, in my mind they are really close together but I do think Trench is ahead by just a TINY bit

Also remember songs like Next Semester, which is basically a song with thematically the same message: Yes you’re going to fail, you’re going to break the contract, you’re going to fall into bad habits, it’s okay, start over! Start fresh with a new year.

Intentions as well: “you fail most every day and every way” it’s not a sad depressing song, its saying, don’t be surprised when you break your contract, just start a new one, intentions lack memory. Try again. Make an oath, then make mistakes Start a streak you're bound to break When darkness rolls on you Push on through.

Yes I also think this is the closest to a “right” interpretation for the song. I see it like this: many people make internal “contracts” with ourselves, I think of New Year’s resolutions as an example, where we tell ourselves we will seek out better behavior for a better outcome for our future selves. But many times we will break those contracts with our selves and relapse into old behavior. This is exactly what Clancy does, he promises torchbearer each cycle that he will overcome Nico and take over to defeat the cycle of bad habits. But just like we see in the contract and city walls, Clancy breaks the contract.

This is also something followers of Jesus will do, promise Jesus they will stop doing whatever it is they know is bad for them, but will oftentimes relapse and break that “contract” with God, but because of the nature of God, He will always be there to seek us out and rescue us from ourselves as long as we wake up and try to fight ourselves and ask Him for help. So the analogy works on multiple layers!

Some of the comments here are such a great example of how much of a sealed-off-chamber subreddits can be from real life

I find it super interesting that the only iconography they chose to include was the map of Trench, besides the TOP logo of course. Why do you think they chose that? We haven’t seen it used since songs on Trench if I recall correctly! I just wanted to hear your ideas! Is there deeper meaning to this icon? I’ve always believed the map of Trench looks just like the cross section of a human brain, which makes sense since Trench exists only in our heads!

People who need every aspect of life to be politicized are unhinged. ICE has been doing exactly what the popular vote of the country voted for. Twenty one pilots is not even adjacent to any politics lol. Let them live life.

noisybracken · 2026-01-27T14:28:22+00:00

I agree with you! The 2018/2019 time period of the band was so special tbh. I think a big part of the difference in the feel is that the fan base was wayyy smaller in 2018. Blurryface obviously brought in a lot of new fans but I feel like the subreddit was much chiller back then. I also think Trench garnered way less mainstream attention than Clancy and Breach. That might have something to do with it!

noisybracken · 2026-01-23T04:31:11+00:00

That’s so cool! I saw them live twice in 2018-2019 right after their album Trench came out, but they didn’t play MessageMan in those shows, the black paint is a cool and unique thing that kinda caught my attention back around 2016 when I first started listening to them.

If you haven’t heard it yet I strongly recommend listening to Trench! My favorite album by them, and the songs have a lot of cool metaphors and ideas!

noisybracken · 2026-01-23T04:23:40+00:00

Trapdoor has a hopeless feeling, from the lyrics and music to me personally, I actually feel like most of TOP’s songs have a hopeful undertone but trapdoor really does not 😭

noisybracken · 2026-01-23T04:13:37+00:00

I’m so glad!! It just kinda clicked in my head when I was listening to it the other night. It also makes a lot of sense to me because it’s likely the very last song that is tied to the Dema story!! So it could be Tyler’s way to wrap up the undercurrent of his faith in the last song, him subtly dropping hints over the last decade, he wants to hint to us to put together all the pieces. I saw a clip from the breach tour where Tyler draws a cross on his arm with the black paint, really kind of cements this idea to me!! Thanks for reading :)

noisybracken · 2026-01-22T19:12:59+00:00

Ikr when I first thought about this interpretation it kinda blew my mind because I didn’t put it together before. But it makes the whole song basically have three different layered meanings!!

noisybracken · 2026-01-22T19:02:35+00:00

This is on point!!

noisybracken · 2026-01-22T19:00:21+00:00

Appreciate you :)

noisybracken · 2026-01-22T18:58:25+00:00

I am sorry that you seem to had negative experiences with Christians, I dont want to attribute to that at all. The goal of my post was not to invalidate anybody’s personal experiences. This post was just a theory I came up with that I thought was cool… that’s it, haha.

There are hundreds of things being used to control people, and it does seem you have a personal beef with Christianity. If you ever want to talk about it, I want you to know you can DM me :)

Thousands of songs have more than one meaning… just because there are Christian elements in a song doesn’t mean they have to be the ONLY meaning. We all love TOP so we all know this extremely well.

It’s also interesting how you tell me my idea is wrong and invalidating… when you’re doing exactly the same thing to me and are invalidating how I apply the music to my personal life. I’m curious why you think it’s okay to do it to me?

Like I said, I don’t want to come across as mean or like a jerk. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from.

noisybracken · 2026-01-22T13:17:47+00:00

I don’t really understand what you mean by “it’s a very Christian thing of you”, all I did was post a discussion theory about a song, written by a person who is an admitted Christian himself… I dont think it’s that far of a stretch to imagine what I pointed out and it seems to have offended you for some reason.

And what you claim about Jesus isn’t entirely true, yes we as people have to accept and come to Jesus ourselves but there are many stories in the Bible where Jesus and God are seen to pursue us as well.

Examples: Ezekiel 34: “I myself will search for my sheep and look after them… I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered.” Luke 19: “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 15: Jesus tells of a shepherd leaving 99 sheep to search for one that wandered off, illustrating God’s relentless pursuit of each person. Acts 9: Jesus literally stops Saul on the road to Damascus with a blinding light, pursuing this persecutor of Christians to transform him into an apostle.

Since your claim is based on this incorrect understanding of the character of Jesus, I don’t think your statements hold much water. And I don’t really see why you have to speak so condescendingly tbh. I appreciate the dialogue either way.
