Tyler has | A lot of Tyler's songs deal with sleep/night time, such as "Ode to sleep", "Guns for Hands" and "Truce". I think this song is about those nights where he has too many worries and thoughts that keep him up at night. | ||
'You will never know what's behind my skull/You will never know what's under my hair/You will never know what's under my skin/You will never know what is in my veins' - I think this refers to how he is able to put on a facade during the day but when night comes he struggles to hide how he actually feels and deals with his anxieties and fears that he has avoided throughout the day. | |||
'I'm calling my father, Am I screaming to an empty sky?' He doesn't know who to turn to when he feels this bad and questions his faith as he tries to reach out to God. [https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858886313/ <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>] | |||

|[Verse 1] | |[Verse 1] | ||
You will never know what's behind my skull | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye? | |||
You will never know what's under my hair | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye? | |||
You will never know what's under my skin | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye? | |||
You will never know what is in my veins | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye? | |||

Won't you go to someone else's dreams? (Else's dreams) | |||
Won't you go to someone else's head? (Else's head) | |||
( | Haven't you taken enough from me? (Enough from me) | ||
Won't you torture someone else's sleep? (Else's sleep) | |||

[Verse 2] | [Verse 2] | ||
And you will never know what I'm thinking of | |||
''Won't you go to someone else's dreams?'' | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye | |||
''Won't you go to someone else's head?'' | |||
And you will never understand what I believe | |||
''Haven't you taken enough from me?'' | |||
So won't you say goodnight so I can say goodbye? | |||
''Won't you torture someone else?'' | |||

Won't you torture someone else's sleep? | |||
Won't you go to someone else's dreams? | |||
Won't you go to someone else's head? | |||
Haven't you taken enough from me? (Oh) | |||
Won't you torture someone else's sleep? (Oh) | |||
[Verse 3] | |||
I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and I | |||
Don't know where I should go and the tears and the fears begin to multiply | |||
Taking time in a simple place; in my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase | |||
And it's said that a war's lead but I forget that I let another day go by (Ah) | |||
I want to be afraid but it seems that these days | |||
I'm caught underwater and I'm falling farther | |||
My heart's getting harder, I'm calling my father | |||
Am I screaming to an empty sky? | |||
Empty sky, no way, that's me 'cause one half of my heart is free | |||
Empty sky, no way, that's me, 'cause the other half of my heart's asleep | |||

| | |In the context of the song, ''anathema'' refers to a curse. Throughout “Anathema,” the narrator broods over the human condition and laments the fact that, as humans, we are naturally inclined to want what is considered to be evil. | ||
The song opens with a subdued keyboard and minimal percussion. As the song progresses, it slowly opens up, gaining more momentum and energy until finally reaching a climax drenched with heavy electronics during the bridge. That high energy is sustained for the third verse, creating a unique contrast of sound throughout the track. | |||
The third verse is recycled from a song called “Blasphemy” on Tyler Joseph’s 2008 solo project, ''No Phun Intended''. [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-anathema-lyrics <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>] | |||
