	\|~~<blockquote>I guess there’s always that fear that you’re going to change as a person~~. ~~But also~~, ~~whether or not you’re in the spotlight making music, you’re going to change too~~. ~~I mean~~, ~~Josh and I are right now sitting in Columbus~~, ~~Ohio~~, ~~at my house~~ and ~~we love it here. It’s our hometown~~ and ~~it always will be. So I think in~~ the ~~song ‘Fairly Local~~,~~’ it’s more metaphor. We had a lot of conversations with a lot of people~~ who ~~like listening~~ to ~~music or using music to get through tough times~~. ~~If anything, I think Josh and I learned when we were traveling the world during the last album cycle that everyone’s~~ the ~~same~~, ~~everyone feels~~ the ~~same issues. So it’s kind of a way of getting~~ on the ~~same level as these people~~ and ~~telling them, in a sense, we understand what you’re going through.</blockquote>–Tyler Joseph via~~ ''~~PAPER~~''<ref name=":0" />		\|“Fairly Local” is the lead single from twenty one pilots' fourth album, ''Blurryface''.
			The song describes two sides of Tyler’s personality, with two opposing verses. One is narrated by Blurryface, a personification of all of Tyler’s doubts, insecurities, and self loathing, and another is told from the perspective of Tyler himself, who is trying his best to destroy Blurryface.

			Despite the fact “Fairly Local” received no official radio rotation, the track peaked at #4 on the ''Billboard Digital Song'' chart and #8 on the ''Billboard Hot Rock Songs'' chart.<ref name=":0" />

Some musicians do not believe in the words they are singing and they are creating music for the wrong reasons. This is why this song (or any of their songs, for that matter) will "never be on the radio". Twenty one pilots' lyrics are much deeper than most pop music that is about less important things like partying, drinking etc. Because their songs are so heavy, it is not likely that the general population will grab onto them as a band.

	~~The lyrics of “~~''~~Stressed Out~~''” are told in the first person, with the story being told by both the character Blurryface (a representation of Tyler’s insecurities) and an anxious Tyler feeling intense childhood nostalgia. The song is primarily about a wish to regain the innocence and carefree nature of childhood, before insecurities (i.e. Blurryface) existed.		“Fairly Local” is the lead single from twenty one pilots' fourth album, ''Blurryface''.

	~~It was released on April 27~~, ~~2015 as the third single from their second studio album~~, ~~''Blurryface''. In February 2016~~, ~~it managed to reach number two on~~ the ~~Hot 100~~, ~~becoming their first single~~ to ~~reach that height~~.		The song describes two sides of Tyler’s personality, with two opposing verses. One is narrated by Blurryface, a personification of all of Tyler’s doubts, insecurities, and self loathing, and another is told from the perspective of Tyler himself, who is trying his best to destroy Blurryface.

	~~The music video features [[Josh Dun]] and [[Tyler Joseph]] riding big-wheels and hanging out in their childhood bedrooms~~, ~~suggesting a state of crippling nostalgia~~ and ~~perhaps even arrested development.~~		Despite the fact “Fairly Local” received no official radio rotation, the track peaked at #4 on the ''Billboard Digital Song'' chart and #8 on the ''Billboard Hot Rock Songs'' chart.<ref name=":0">https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-stressed-out-lyrics</ref>

	\|~~''Rike'', who did the design of the Blurryface album, said this about the Blurryface concept based on his conversations with Tyler:~~<blockquote>~~Blurryface isn’t~~ that ~~black and white. There are more layers~~ to ~~him than described~~. ~~He can either be represented as sad, angry, evil~~, or ~~deceptive. He has a tendency to draw you~~ in, ~~but only~~ to ~~pull you down~~. ~~''Tyler mentioned a vision of his mutilated face~~, and ~~all of the dread associated with the elusive enemy~~. ~~There is something vague about him,~~ and ~~something that cannot~~ be ~~completely described~~.~~'' No matter what your interpretation of Blurryface is~~, it’s ~~safe~~ to ~~say that he remains something that we try~~ to ~~hide~~, and ~~not show to~~ the ~~outside~~ world~~.</blockquote>~~		\|<blockquote>I guess there’s always that fear that you’re going to change as a person. But also, whether or not you’re in the spotlight making music, you’re going to change too. I mean, Josh and I are right now sitting in Columbus, Ohio, at my house and we love it here. It’s our hometown and it always will be. So I think in the song ‘Fairly Local,’ it’s more metaphor. We had a lot of conversations with a lot of people who like listening to music or using music to get through tough times. If anything, I think Josh and I learned when we were traveling the world during the last album cycle that everyone’s the same, everyone feels the same issues.

	~~When Tyler sang this song live, he didn’t get~~ the ~~type of positive reaction~~ that ~~he was hoping for. Because of this~~, ~~he felt like he let his fans down and needed to rework~~ the ~~song for the band’s live performances~~. So, in a ~~successful attempt to fix this~~, ~~he changed the first verse to this:~~<blockquote>~~I wish I wrote a different song no one’s ever heard~~

	~~I wish my mom would just admit she’s sick of every word~~

	~~Overplayed, overstayed, it was a smash hit~~

	~~Funny how overplayed songs sound like crap~~

	~~I was told our true fans don’t like this song~~

	~~But I hope they sing along, I hope they sing along~~<ref name=":0" /~~><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMXMuC7o2fY</ref> </blockquote~~>

|I'm fairly local, I've been around

I've seen the streets you're walking down

I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm evil to the core

What I shouldn't do I will

They say I'm emotional

What I want to save I'll kill

Is that who I truly am?

I truly don't have a chance

Tomorrow I'll keep a beat

And repeat yesterday's dance

Yo, this song will never be on the radio

Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote

It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

Yo, you, bulletproof, in black like a funeral

The world around us is burning but we're so cold

It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

I'm fairly local, I've been around

I've seen the streets you're walking down

I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm not evil to the core

What I shouldn't do I will fight

I know I'm emotional

What I want to save I will try

I know who I truly am

I truly do have a chance

Tomorrow I'll switch the beat

To avoid yesterday's dance

Yo, this song will never be on the radio

Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote

It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

Yo, you, bulletproof, in black like a funeral

The world around us is burning but we're so cold

It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

I'm fairly local, I've been around

I've seen the streets you're walking down

I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm fairly local, I've been around

I've seen the streets you're walking down

I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, good people now

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
