Tyler portrays his mind as some sort of building you can walk around. Each door leading to a room represents a dream or you could also say a memory. Some have “STAY OUT” spray painted, because they’re bad memories/nightmares you don’t want to go back to. | |||
The world’s asleep/I walk around instead signifies Tyler is either struggling with sleepless nights (insomnia) or is lucid dreaming/exploring his mind. | |||
In the second verse, Tyler illustrates insomnia caused by a worsened mental health state, which he mentions throughout the album in songs like “Navigating.” Tyler has written about these “REM cycle skips” before in countless other songs, such as [[Ode to Sleep|''Ode to Sleep'']]: | |||
"I’ll stay awake ‘cause the dark’s not taking prisoners tonight" | |||
With the mention of “you,” Tyler seems to be speaking to someone… or something. It may seem coincidental, but considering the inclusion of “blurryface" in the cover art for the album, he could be speaking about the character ''Blurryface'', a personification of Tyler’s mental health that titled their hit album [[Blurryface|Blurryface]]. | |||
Regardless, this individual, whether it be family, friend, or something else, is keeping him company during late hours of the night as he walks down the halls - a metaphor for the corners of his mind explored in the chorus. | |||
