We Don't Believe What's On T.V.-Twenty One Pilots

68 1 0
                                    

We don't believe what's on TV,
Because it's what we want to see,
And what we want, we know we can't believe,
We have all learned to kill our dreams.

I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.

I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! [2x]

Alright. Second verse.

What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what I've told my friends?
Don't wanna know who I would be,
When I wake up from a dreamer's sleep.

I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here,
'Cause if you stick around I'll sing you pretty sounds,
And we'll make money selling your hair.

But I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.

I don't care what's in your hair,
I just wanna know what's on your mind,
I used to say, "I wanna die before I'm old,"
But because of you I might think twice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! [repeat]


                                                       MEANING OF SONG

"We Don't Believe What's On TV" interplays two of Tyler's possiblities in Blurryface: that his aspirations will not turn out, and that he'll have his loved ones regardless of what happens.

Although Tyler remains uncertain, he knows that he at least can look past the superficial–his wife, family, friends, and fans.

This song directly follows on the album, and since this is the first truly upbeat track on the album so far, it would seem that things have started to get better after he runs toward God for help and "discernment."
