Jumpsuit by Twenty Øne Piløts (2024)

can we just talk about how freakin beautiful this part is:

“i’ll be right there
but you’ll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air,
if you need anyone,
i’ll stop my plans,
but you’ll have to tie me down and then break both my hands,
if you need anyone.”

(2:36-3:30)
the way he sings it, the lyrics, the part in the music video it’s at, b e a u t i f u l.

Theory of understanding deeper meaning in the video:

1. The man in the red cloak is a new representation of Blurryface. (Hinted by him giving the black streaks on Tyler's neck, then to have the black streaks grow into the last era's paint.)

2. Blurryface is the representation of Tyler's problems and general insecurities. (Depression, Insecurity etc. Aka mental illness).

3. Clancy said they can not see yellow and to cover him. Yellow is the color and sign of support to mental illness.

4. Blurryface returns to Tyler here after heavydirtysoul and reclaims him from his previous freedom (him roaming around) by putting black lines on his neck. Which eventually takes over Tyler (when Tyler stumbles, the black expands into how it was in the previous era) and causes him to walk obediently behind Blurryface in defeat.

5. The people above Tyler are his Jumpsuit. In attempt to save Tyler they throw him a sign of hope and support (yellow flowers petals). Tyler looks at them for a minute and realizes he has support from others to keep on fighting. Then suddenly he breaks free and runs for his life away from Blurryface.

6. Unfortunately he stumbles and falls. Which then Blurryface then captures him again, but you see he has a yellow flower within his hands. This means he's still holding onto the support they gave him even though Blurryface won in this video.

7. The person remaining above when looking at Tyler is indeed Josh. But he's standing there to indicate that "This isn't over, Blurryface." And eventually they'll free Tyler from him.

8. Tyler says in Jumpsuit also, that if you needed anyone you'd have to hurt him. This is him talking to Blurryface saying that he'd follow, but he would be fighting his ass off while doing it. So his new found support will keep him fighting through this entire album.

Also.. Nico and The Niners (the people singing the song) are the banditøs above saying they want to rescue those trapped in Dema (Depression).

(Sorry! I accidentally deleted it the first time.. tell me your inputs!)

Edit: The Heavydirtysoul flashbacks are because his happened after! Josh is the person that escaped from Dema first of the two (him and Tyler)! He was helping Tyler break free in Heavydirtysoul and he's trying again now in Jumpsuit! Tyler realizes it's possible to break free and his anger and determination to be free shows in how hardcore the song is sung! It also shows when youstart hearing the anger in his voice, his will power and anger makes the black fade off his neck and he runs for it! Thanks for listening if you got this far!

Edit 2: YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING. Your theories are also wonderful and thank you for so much support on my comment! ❤❤

Edit 3: The Nico and The Niners thing is being brought up A LOT. So I'll reword it the right way. I meant the Nico and the Niners SONG is about rescuing those trapped in Dema. Nico and The Niners as PEOPLE are definitely the bishops. The reversed lyrics are the banditøs (the people standing above the trench) talking about rebellion. And Tyler's lyrics is him speaking from an escapists point of view, trying to plan an escape.

By the way.. I don't know if I'm right! Take that in mind! I'm going to try to make videos on this on my channel about several theories very soon. So if you want to be included and credited for your theory, send me a message on my social medias and enter your theories there!
