The phrase 'fairly local' is Twenty One Pilots' way of saying that they have both gone through the same dark times that we also go through.
 
They have mentioned in interviews that a lot of musicians are not genuine when it comes to their songs. 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 world around us is burning, but we're so cold. It's the few, the proud and the emotional."
 
It is scary to recognize all of these problems that humanity has. It is even more terrifying to look at ourselves, as individuals, and to bring all of our faults to the table.
 
Towards the end of the song, everything is reversed. We realize and accept that we are messed up. Even with all of this evilness that humans have, we are not going to just let it keep happening. We are going to try our hardest to stop hurting others. <ref>https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859503375/</ref>

Fairly Local is the 4th track on the album, Blurryface

Background

“Fairly Local” is the lead single from Twenty One Pilots' fourth album, Blurryface.[1]

The phrase 'fairly local' is Twenty One Pilots' way of saying that they have both gone through the same dark times that we also go through.

They have mentioned in interviews that a lot of musicians are not genuine when it comes to their songs. 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 world around us is burning, but we're so cold. It's the few, the proud and the emotional."

It is scary to recognize all of these problems that humanity has. It is even more terrifying to look at ourselves, as individuals, and to bring all of our faults to the table.

Towards the end of the song, everything is reversed. We realize and accept that we are messed up. Even with all of this evilness that humans have, we are not going to just let it keep happening. We are going to try our hardest to stop hurting others. [2]
