On Repeat . Car Radio

Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots

Way back to 2013 when I first listened to Twenty One Pilots, the song that really stuck with me until now and I can sing and rap the whole song was Car Radio. Why? I don't know maybe because I haven't had a permission to drive a vehicle until today? Maybe. Mostly because I always listen to music and imagine if your driving a car without any music to listen to. Same with real life, I can't imagine my day without music. Silence is terrifying. With music, you can get lost with it most especially when the reality is being shitty and its one of the perfect escape that's not expensive you just need a very good earphones/headphones. 

I even made this a message alert tone on my phone since 2013 until last week because I changed it to something from Blurryface but its still on my phone. This is my favorite from Vessel but I love that album. 

I think the reason why I like them was they really put themselves into their songs that you can feel how they feel when they're talking about something. In an interview, they were asked on who they want to collaborate with and Tyler said he can't think of any as of the moment because if they want to collaborate with someone they want that person/band to be sincere on his/her/their craft not just singing it because they need to. They want someone who have connection with them and to the song that was born with the collaboration. Also the reason why I'm so picky on who to listen to when it comes to music. 

According to Tyler, this song was a real story. 

I was amazed when I watched the video and it was from one of their real show in Ohio. And I really felt how Tyler feel when he lost is car radio.  

I ponder of something great

My lungs will fill and then deflate

They fill with fire, exhale desire

I know it's dire my time today

I have these thoughts, so often I ought

To replace that slot with what I once bought

'Cause somebody stole my car radio

And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent

I find it hard to hide it

My pride is no longer inside

It's on my sleeve

My skin will scream reminding me of

Who I killed inside my dream

I hate this car that I'm driving

There's no hiding for me

I'm forced to deal with what I feel

There is no distraction to mask what is real

I could pull the steering wheel

I have these thoughts, so often I ought

To replace that slot with what I once bought

'Cause somebody stole my car radio

And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something terrifying

'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind

I find over the course of our human existence

One thing consists of consistence

And it's that we're all battling fear

Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here

Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking

I liked it better when my car had sound

There are things we can do

But from the things that work there are only two

And from the two that we choose to do

Peace will win and fear will lose

It is faith and there's sleep

We need to pick one please because

Faith is to be awake

And to be awake is for us to think

And for us to think is to be alive

And I will try with every rhyme

To come across like I am dying

To let you know you need to try to think

I have these thoughts, so often I ought

To replace that slot with what I once bought

'Cause somebody stole my car radio

And now I just sit in silence

And now I just sit in silence

And now I just sit

And now I just sit in silence

And now I just sit in silence

And now I just sit in silence

And now I just sit

I ponder of something great

My lungs will fill and then deflate

They fill with fire, exhale desire

I know it's dire my time today

I have these thoughts, so often I ought

To replace that slot with what I once bought

'Cause somebody stole my car radio

And now I just sit in silence
