When the sun shines on the ground
I know where You stand
And shows what you have done
 
It shows where your mind has gone
Silent in the trees
And you swear to your parents
 
That it will never happen again
And that's where I am
I know, I know-ow-ow
 
What that means, I know-ow-ow-ow-ow
Silent in the trees
 
Why won't You speak
 
Where I happen to be?
 
Silent in the trees

But I can't, but I can't when you all have

Let's take this one song, this one rhyme
I can feel my death
Together, let's breathe
 
Together, to the beat
I want to know You
But there's hope out the window
 
So that's where we'll go
I want to see
Let's go outside and all join hands
 
But until then you'll never understand
I want to say
 
Hello, hello
 
Hello, oh, hello

We've turned our hands to guns
 
Traded our thumbs for ammunition
Hello, hello! (Oh, oh)
I must forewarn you of my disorder, or my condition
'Cause when the sun sets
It upsets what's left of my invested interest
Interested in putting my fingers to my head
The solution is, I see a whole room of these mutant kids
Fused at the wrist, I simply tell them they should shoot at this
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music
It's obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist


[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep
But I can't, but I can't when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep (I'm trying to sleep)
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep (I'm trying to sleep)
But I can't, but I can't when you all have

Background

It is one of the last songs we play in our set and by this song usually I’m exhausted during the live set. For some reason this song gives me a second wind, I don’t even know where it comes from. That’s special to me. Something bigger than myself happens during this song. It’s one of my favorites.

–Tyler Joseph via Rock Sound [1]

Lyrics meaning

Lyrics
“Trees” is the oldest song written for Vessel. twenty one pilots recorded it for their independently released 2011 album Regional at Best and then rerecorded it for Vessel after they signed under label Fueled by Ramen. As Tyler Joseph explains in an interview, the original lyrics were inspired by an event in his life in which he was searching for something in the woods. The ultimate message he explains, is a search for truth.

What form this truth takes on is up for debate. There are two general interpretations of these lyrics:

  • A chance encounter occurs in a the secluded forest between two people who suffer from social anxiety. They nervously wait it out, not saying a thing.
  • A spiritual journey is depicted in which the narrator feels as though he has found God but struggles with doubt, as God doesn't show Himself directly. [2]
