I love how Josh’s role always feels like “yo I just saved you, now I’m gonna chill on my themed drum set and look cool as fuck”

This video makes so much more sense now

New era is coming.

this is so much better now that i understand the storyline more. i love this

Okay this was a LOT more lore than I was ready for

I swear if they made a full-length movie that's just their lore from start to end, I'd watch the hell out of it

Imagine you kill your boss, and then all of a sudden his corpse gets up and hits the gritty

I'll tape my eyes so I don't fall asleep again

these guys have undoubtedly some of the best lore and story lines i've ever seen in a band

The last few shots of them holding their torches and seeing the other torches in the distance made me emotional. And the final two individuals looking back and seeing how far they’ve also come from DEMA after finding Josh and Tyler’s clothes? It gave me chills. A beautiful representation of finding light in the dark

Im so deep in the lore there’s no way out now

They're not just a band, they are ACTUALLY Artists. And this whole trench/dema lore is an ART, a masterpiece.

This is insane, so worth the wait

ive started listening to you guys when i was 12 and didnt think i could make it to my 18th birthday. now im 18 almost 19, in college, studying to be a teacher, and excited for the rest of life. you were with me every step. thank you

Somebody 2024?

The fact that Ned exists in the same universe as the terrifying bishops, implying that a bishop has encountered a Ned to get its horns...

tyler’s creativity never fails to amaze me. creating his own world through trench and being able to continue it now across two albums constantly coming up with new meanings, new things for us to work out as a fandom and bringing us all together. the way he’s came out of his depression and been able to make something beautiful showing everyone that it is possible to come out the other side and fulfil your dreams. beautiful

Am I the only one who got chills especially at the end seeing Tyler taking control over his bishop, seeing the two banditos on their journey out of Dema, overcoming depression. I love how this album has lighter tones, has messages of hope

wake up my people, we are back

Holy shit, I don't know if anyone else noticed this but I just realized that at 2:25 when Clancy/Tyler enters the cave you can hear a slightly warped part of the backing track from "Migraine" released ALL THE WAY BACK IN VESSEL!!!!! Don't know if it has any lore significance, but definitely note worthy!

The universe our boys have created and the plot of this storyline within is a cinematic masterpiece. It just keeps getting better and better and interesting.

Just taking a second to appreciate that I am here in this moment experiencing all of this in real time and watching the story develop and unfold in real time. Some day I’ll look back on this with nostalgia and wish I could go back before the story was completed and live it all over again. Wow wow wow. I am so excited, filled with so many questions. Thank you, tøp, for always giving me something to look forward to. This was well worth the wait and much more than I anticipated!

Here we go, we're starting again, a new era, i can't wait!!!!!!

I still can’t get over how adorable the neds are when they were nodding their heads to the beat while sitting around the campfire. I just want that scene to play forever in my head. 😂

I love how their videos are never just videos. They are just a chapter in the story they are telling and it always makes you want to come back to finish it. Can't wait for the next one to come out!!!

Maybe after these two retire making songs, they will make a whole movie regarding on the journey and the story of their albums. I can't wait to watch the whole movie and to understand each story.

other artists just create music videos but Twenty One Pilots MVs are not just music videos but actual episodes in a story and thats what makes their MVs so entertaining to watch

- I've got a long drive, i'll tape my eyes. So don't fall asleep again. NEEEW ERA COMING!!

I’ve been a big fan since Guns for Hands stopped me from making the biggest mistake I would have ever made. I was in a very dark place, and when I heard that song, it made me pause and reconsider. It sounds silly to say a song stopped me from hurting myself, but for a second, it worked. And that’s all it took. Just one second of reconsideration. After that, I listened to more of your songs. I love you guys. Keep making great music. 🧡

The fact that this music video has me asking more questions than getting answers proves that these two know exactly how to keep me on the edge of my seat and make me keep coming back for more

they've been here the whole time. We've just been asleep. Time to wake up

The story continues... We are Clancy 🔴💪🏻🔥

As they walked through the tunnel with their new outfits, hearing echoes of their past music, especially Vessel, sent actual chills down my spine. So incredibly well done you two. Kudos to the props and production departments for such a special video.

The production quality of this is INSANE! Hats off to the team, totally worth the wait!

The full Dema storyline explained Today I will explain the entire Dema storyline but first we need to go over: Types of 21 pilots music -symbology (Chlorine car radio etc)*MV These videos have symbology showing different aspects of depression and mental health, many of them corresponds to the different niners -concert (Ride etc)*MV Simply Tyler and Josh playing music some symbology but typically not much, sometimes niner songs. Niner: the songs/Music Videos describing the insecurities each bishop controls the songs corresponding to the bishops are: 𝑁𝐼𝐶𝑂 Stressed Out. Insecurity: Growing up, General stress. 𝐴𝑁𝐷𝑅𝐸 Fairly Local Insecurity: Staying The Same, Never Changing. 𝐾𝐸𝑂𝑁𝑆 HeavyDirtySoul Insecurity: Fear of death. 𝑆𝐴𝐶𝐴𝑅𝑉𝐸𝑅 Tear In My Heart Insecurity: Fear Of Love. 𝐿𝐼𝑆𝑇𝑂 Ride Insecurity: Abandonment and Overthinking. 𝑉𝐸𝑇𝑂𝑀𝑂 Lane Boy Insecurity: Conformity. 𝑁𝐼𝐿𝐿𝑆 Goner Insecurity: Defeat. 𝐿𝐼𝑆𝐷𝐸𝑁 Polarize Insecurity: What's Next And Not Being Good Enough. 𝑅𝐸𝐼𝑆𝐷𝑅𝑂 Doubt Insecurity: Doubting God, self doubt. And -dema What I’m going to be talking about The epic 21 pilots rock opera that tells the fantasy story of a city where it citizens are forced to stay there by an evil regime called the bishops that propagate the religion of fatalism and a group of rebels called the Bandidos fighting against them. This is an epic fantasy story but everything in it also represents different aspects of mental health depression suicidal thoughts and you being able to overcome them. Albums: trench,scaled and icy and the upcoming album. I am mainly going to focus on the music videos, there are other aspects of the lore that I used such as other songs, interviews and Demaorg* *Note: Demaorg is a website hidden in the vessel page on the 21 pilots website and contains letters and Journal entries written by Clancy Dema storyline important details: The continent of trench: this is where our story takes place, Fantasy world that represent someone’s mind Dema: a city with walls surrounding it lead by the Bishops who keep the Citizens from leaving The Bishops: a mysterious group of hooded humanoids that keep all the Citizens of Dema inside the walls, they cannot phisicly harm rebels they must use their powers to bring all rebels back under the spell of Dema. Fatalism: the religion propagated by the bishops glorifying suicide, hailing those who kill themselves as heroes. (The song neon gravestone) The bandetos: a group of rebels who help smuggle people out of Dema they wair a yellow jumpsuit that makes them somewhat invisible to the bishops. Jumpsuit: a coat with yellow tape on it that helps the bandetos stay unnoticed by the bishops. Ned: small creatures that live outside of Dema their horns have a strange connection to the bishops, they can be used by the bishops, or can be used to control the bishops. Trash The dragon: a underwater dragon that is an enemy of the bishops. Clancy: the protagonist of the story he is a bandeto who is escaping Dema and is best friends with the leader of the bandetos Dema music videos in order -jumpsuit -nico and the niners -levitate -Saturday -The outside Storyline: Dema storyline plot begins in the Trench trilogy The story starts with the music video jumpsuit Clancy is outside of Dema and is being chased by a bishop on horseback, he is swayed by the bishop and begins to follow him but the bandetos help him and he runs from the bishop, he is eventually over run and captured. The next segment of the story is in Neco and the niners, we see the bishops setting up some sort of ritual and Clancy is back in Dema but his spirit is not broken And he is not under demas spell “what the bishops don’t know is Dema don’t control us” he meets up with the bandetos and they go to their underground basis and go through secret tunnels and escape the city. We move on to the final episode in the trench saga, Levitate. Clancy goes with a group of bandetos to their camp outside Dema and all seams well until a bishop comes to the camp and forcefully captures Clancy and thus ends the trench saga. The scaled in ice era begins with Saturday* Note: The video Shy away is another propaganda video but has no Direct implications on the story, other than showing that Clancy is under the bishops Control. We meet up with Clancy again and he and other bandetos they are hosting a propaganda video for the people of Dema on a submarine somewhere with the bishops but something seams off instead of continuing to fight they all appear to be partying, they’re all completely under the control of Dema, and it appears the bishops may have won until trash the dragon crashes into the submarine freeing the bandetos and Clancy. The latest installment of the saga “The outside” takes place after Saturday we see The bishops finishing a ritual they sacrifice one of their members to kill the dragon that freed the bandetos. Clancy and Josh are washed up on a mysterious island where they venture into a cave that appears to be a settlement of Ned’s the Ned’s give them clothes and food and their leader leads Clancy out of the cave The ned proceeds to remove his horns and he gives them to Clancy, Clancy uses them to infiltrate the ritual the bishops used to kill the dragon and takes control of the dead bishops body making him overturn one of the light rods used in The ceremony Lighting Dema on fire. We then see a group of Bandidos revealing that their is more Bandidos than we thought, The video ends showing Dema going up in flames as the Bandidos watch from afar.

I also realised, Ned is his creativity and through the horns that Ned gives him, Clancy can control the bishops. So creativity as a way to control the demons (like in "I created this world to feel some control, destroy it if I want" in Bandito) and he does start to destroy it in the end of the video 👀

The lore just keeps getting more complex and I'm HERE FOR IT! The way their music isn't just music but there so much thought behind these videos and we get to have fun and piece it all together! I love these guys so much

thought i was ready for this; i was not

The way they created this music video is actually amazing, the pauses in-between make this so unique and awesome!

Everything make so much sense now i can't wait for the new album !!!

dude, when they are in the tunnels, they are playing “The Hype” theme. and in the hype, it talks about i don’t know which way i’m going, but i can hear my way around. that’s so awesome. i love this music video! nice job guys!!!! i love you tøp!!!

Seriously amazing. It's almost a show at this point. Normally I don't long pauses in music videos, but I make an exception since there's so much lore.

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!

I am a 53yr. young woman who has loved music videos since the original "night flight"which was the music video show before mtv. I have loved these guys from their first song and video; my favorite band!!

i'm watching this again a day later, this is truly the best music video they've made. the storyline, the new and different camera angles, the quality, the colors. it's all amazing, i love it

Los amo con todo mi ser

I’m gonna need a full version of that ethereal Migraine instrumental

IS THIS THE PALADIN STRAIGHT ?

I love how the Chlorine concept is still being explored in this mv. You guys have truly mastered your own unique sound and style and this is why i love your music so much! This is the kind of unique and creative content we need to see more

Okay lots of REALLY BIG THINGS have been given to us by this video and the letters that came before it. The Migraine chorus sound being used when they reach "Ned's" cave proves this must be the "Voldsøy" seen on Clancy's new map (Norwegian for "Island of Violence"). Clancy's letter from today introduced to us the idea that the Bishops are always inhabiting the bodies of those "honourable citizens" who died for the sake of Dema, who had achieved what is known as "The Glorious Gone", and may not even have their own physical forms. This would explain why they were okay with stabbing one of their own (Keons) after he took control of Trash as a method of taking him down. I doubt Trash is actually dead but for now both him and Keons' current body are down for the count. Clancy's letter from today also reveals that he and Tyler may actually be the same person. This was doubted for a long time because Clancy wrote about the events of the Jumpsuit music video from the perspective of someone who wasn't Tyler. However, today he wrote that this power of possession that the Bishops have makes everything "make sense...The episodes I would have: the blood red visions, my dreams of flying, *the out of body account of the rider in the river* ...". He also wrote that he was the "only one that can wield it" (the power of possession the Bishops have that Tyler is clearly shown to wield at the climax of the video). That is it, that makes me think a lot, Tyler has got to be Clancy. From what I could tell by the end of the video, the Banditos are back, and they still have faith in "The Torchbearer's" (Josh's) plan. Dema is on fire after Tyler's sabotage when he took over Keon's form. I believe once they reach the mainland and reunite with the Banditos we will be getting our preparation for the sequel to Trench and during the course of the album they will begin a final assault on Dema and the Bishops. This is the beginning of a long fight that may end in the fall of the Sacred Municipality of Dema and the liberation of its citizens.

Now that we understand the lore so much more now, I have a theory. At the end Tyler picks up the horns and controls Nico. Nico has been in control for so long and now that he has been killed, Nico himself is being controlled. I wonder if this is Tyler claiming that he has victory now over his mental health. Over the voices in his head. He turned the noose into a leash and is telling it that it now must obey him because he is in control. “Fight it, take the pain, ignite it Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breathe fine and tie it To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me This ain't a noose, this is a leash And I have news for you, you must obey me"”

watching again after Overcompensate premiere!! Back to Trench! 💥❤‍🔥

THIS ONE VIDEO EXPLAINS AND CONNECTS SO MUCH! We know where Ned went, we know more about the Bishops and how Ned connects to everything, we know what happened to the kids from Nico and the Niners (which I didn't even know I needed to know), we know (kind of) how Trash connects to everything, we see what happened after Saturday, we see what I assume is the "Pain Island" they revealed the other day, etc.

this was definitely worth the wait. Probably the best video they have made yet

To me, this is the only song from SAI that sounds like the TOP that we know and love from previous albums, since they are on "the outside" and no longer under the threat of DEMA and their propaganda. Especially after 3:00 when Tyler starts rapping, which is one of his signatures, after feeling safe and free, and thus more like himself. Soon after which he gets hold of the NED horns (symbolizing his musical creativity) and controls Nico/Blurryface like a puppet, the exact opposite to what would happen before, implying that he is no longer controlled by his insecurities and fears, but instead he is the one in control.

Pure genius. Thank God there’s some good music that exists today. It takes a good song to draw my attention. This is definitely one of them. Imagination and thoughtful lyrics.

It breaks my heart not being able to be a part of this world. All the albums before trench era was my life. I saw them 4 times and felt like I belonged but I never had the patience or resources to be able to understand the whole meaning including the extra experiences after that. It’s still magical and I hope they keep helping people the way they helped me.

THIS WAS A MASTERPIECE. i’ve been thinking all day of possible ways to answer the questions running around my mind. so many conclusions that lead to more questions. i am so happy to have found this band in 2016. they’ve been a light in the darkest tunnel ever since.

who's back form the overcompensate?

It's been so long since I heard such a beautiful song.

I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. This just opens so many more doors of possibilities regarding the storyline, and I can tell that so much more is to come. The next album is going to be phenomenal, as we watch the final puzzle pieces come together, and witness the possible fall of Dema. So much has happened in this era, and I've loved every part of it. Thank you, Tyler, Josh, and everyone else who worked on it, for all of it. Dema don't control us. ||-//

I have no words. The detail, the cinematography, the intricacies of the ongoing story, the production quality. Boys, you have outdone yourselves with this one.

Everybody stand in Line!!

Tyler was like "are we there yet?" the whole music video

i love how you guys connected everything, this is just an amazing work, i love all what you've done i mean i have no words to describe this, such incredible work!!!! like everything that you do is just asom!!!! love you Twenty Øne Piløts

their artistry is immaculate, I'll have to analyze it's depth later, but everything that comes from their minds is truly art.

Tyler rap its all we need

CRYING WE ARE SO BACK

Now what annoys me with these 2 here (Tyler & Josh) is that they are soo soo good at telling a story its unbelievable. They've got me always questioning what's next and I'm about to explode because these always hype me up and make me interested in what's yet to come.

AAAAAAAAAA, LOS AMOOOO

THIS ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW

I kinda fell off for a little... holy crap that was intense. They continue to make us more and more intrigued in this still growing and developing storyline. I just randomly stumbled on this one this morning while revisiting Trench during a bit of a mental struggle...and I'm glad I did. Can't wait to see where they take us next on this journey. If you're here...you're my people. And I love my people. We all struggle. Help your friends and family, and even strangers...we can make it through these struggles together.

Como le explico a mi mamá que esto no es satanismo

I am so happy right now. We see through the propaganda and feel the struggle and see the hope. Stay alive, peace will win and fear will lose. Thank you Tyler and Josh. As always you have made me want to keep fighting.

I need to know if Josh's character is not just part of Clancy's imagination (kinda like in My Blood MV) 😭😭

I love this album especially this song

The intensity of this entire storyline that's in the process of being told over the last couple years is so amazing, I can't wait to see the next chapter.

It’s great that you can clearly see how DEMA’s colourful and cheery tones changed to something kinda similar to trench’s dirty colours and it also takes place in natural spaces, pretty much like trench’s music videos did. I know that I’m probably talking some obvious shit, but I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the way they switch from one era to another.

I can’t believe i’ve been listening to yalls music since i was a year old and now this is what its come to and man your music has really advanced but i still love the old music its amazing

I swear I thought No Chances would be their next music video and the next chapter in this amazing story. I sat at the edge of my seat the entire video trying to see hints from last songs or references and foreshadowing. I love this band so much. I fell off for a while because of life, but this just got me rehooked. ||-//

The next album gonna be so great I'm feeling it💓

Sin duda Twenty one pilots la mejor banda con una narrativa espectacular y única

i love this song

Sin duda Twenty one pilots la mejor banda con una narrativa espectacular

Los que decían que este álbum no tenia relación con los anteriores... SE EQUIVOCARON. Amé mal todo ❤ nunca decepcionan

I never realized all the songs were tied together until I am clancy!!

The cinematic brilliance in their music videos is amazing!❤

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER! IT WAS WORTH THE WAITING FOR SURE

This wasn’t JUST a music video! This was a movie!! THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT YALL DID SO GOOD ON THIS BOYS

My God! Amazing!!!!! whenever I think you cannot go and beat the previous song...you go and do it!!! Amazing!

This man always tries to do something new and extraordinary and makes his audience feel excited for every next video, Hats off to him ,❤️😘😭

Had goosebumps when migraine instrumental was played. Also didn't expect so much lore coming from the MV for this upbeat song. Now I'm so hyped for their next production!

I'm more impressed everytime I notice the story going back even further than previously thought. This whole story is amazing and I really wonder if Tyler came up with it and wrote the music with it in mind and dropping hints everywhere, or if he thought of the story later and used what was there and referenced them when appropriate. This story blows my mind. Do y'all think Tyler/Clancy can use the power of seizing because the Bishops killed Keons and there have to be nine? They won't get him on their side though.

I've always been amazed by these two. Being as young as they are and having so much talent coursing through them. They were definitely destined for greatness.

Clancy is not dead!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH EU AMO TANTO ESSA BANDA! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Yo solo vengo aquí a por mi pequeña dosis diaria del nuevo videoclip de Twenty One Pilots, nos veremos durante los próximos 365 días ||-//

I'm ready for the new era and the continuation of this history! |-/

I'm watching this music video nowadays since the very first day, and still have more questions instead answers

I like it so much that I see a lot of meaning in it all, that I can understand it. That all this put me on my feet and helps me move. I love being a part of it all. Hold a torch, seeing the same on the other side. To understand that I am not alone in this world with all this in my head. Wherever my existence takes me. I will always be here. I will always hold this torch.

Love
