This band was a saving grace. This band kept me sane. This band is something to, something worth, focusing on. They push away the dark to bring in more light. They may have saved lives, saved my life. Each song is more than just lyrics, more than just a beat. They, in themselves are stories. Stories that help others keep their own personnel story alive. So I thank you, Tyler, Josh, Twenty One Pilots for telling your story, and keeping mine alive.
At first when I heard Twenty One Pilots I thought to myself, "Wow what a great new band." Then I started really listening to the lyrics. They were so powerful, and with such great meaning. Their music couldn't have come at a better time. At the time I was just a sophomore in college in the midst of realizing the major I had spent two years on, I no longer wished to continue with. That piled with many other dysfunctions in my life I felt so lost, I was truly searching for purpose. It was one of the darkest points of my life. I felt like such a failure, and I wanted to just give up. But their music helped me hold on and helped me push through. Which is why I decided to get a tattoo of their symbol to show my gratitude to them for helping me get through something I thought would end me. People ask, "why would you get a band symbol tattooed on you?" And to me those are the people who simply don't understand how music, or a band can save someone's life.
