Twenty one Pilots

1. 00.00-00.06 – There is instrumental Music at the start
of the song, however there are no lyrics to accompany
it, and the music is quite eerie and ominous.
00.06-00.33 – This is when Tyler begins singing the
lyrics to the song. This duration is the first verse: ‘The
Air Begins To Feel A Little Thin, As I Start the Car
and Then I Begin, Too Add the Miles Piled Up Behind
Me, I Barely Feel a Smile Deep Inside Me’
00.33-00.59 – The second verse of the track is sung
during this section: ‘And I Begin to Envy the
Headlights Driving South, I Want to Crack the Door
So I Can Just Fall Out, But Then I Remember When
You Packed My Car, You Reached in the Back and
Buckled Up Your Heart’
01.00-01.15 – After a second with no vocals and a
Piano Note, the Third Verse (despite only being short)
is sung by Tyler during the stated time scale: ‘For Me
To Drive Away With, I Began to Understand Why God
Died’
01.16-01.48.5 – After the first three verses, there is
another Instrumental that separates these verses from
the next part of the track.
01.49-02.15 – This is the part of the track where the
pre-chorus is sung: ‘The Demon Sat There Waiting on
Her Porch, It Was a Little Dark So He Held a
Makeshift Torch, And When My Car Was Far Out of
Sight, He Crept in Her Room and Stayed There For
the Night’
02.16-02.43 & 02.44-03.12 – The part of the track where the chorus is sung is
during these time scales. There are two sets of times, due to the fact the chorus
is sung twice by Tyler: ‘And Then I Felt Chills in My Bones, The Breath I Saw
Was Not My Own, I Knew My Skin That Wrapped My Frame, Wasn’t Made
To Play This Game, And Then I Saw Him, Torch in Hand, He Laid it Out,
What He Had Planned, And Then I Said, I’ll Take The Grave, Please Just
Send Them All My Way’
03.12-03.18 – Another Instrumentalsection is here, separating the
Chorusfrom the last remaininglyrics.
03.18-03.26 – The line ‘I Began to Understand Why God Died’ is sung during
this time scale, just before another Instrumental.
03.26-03.39 – An Instrumental during this time scale in the track separates
the next set of lyrics from the ones above.
03.39.5-3.42 – The line ‘The Air Begins to Feel a Little Thin’ is sung by Tyler.
03.43-03.45 – Tyler takes a slight pause just after the first line of lyrics.
03.46-03.51 – The next short line is sung ‘As We’re Waiting for The Morning
to Begin’
03.51-03.52 – Another small pause is taken by Tyler.
03.53-04.05 – The next line is sung ‘But For Now You Told Me To Hold This
Jar, and When I Looked Inside, I Saw It Held Your Heart’
04.06-04.20 – The last remaining lyrics are sung ‘For Me to Walk Away With,
I Began to Understand Why God Died’
04.21-04.28 – One smaller Instrumental, then the song closes with a ‘ding’
sound.
