| | |In a nutshell, “Heavydirtysoul” addresses how, although Tyler seems strong, he’s emotional and has depressing thoughts in his mind that he wishes weren’t there and how he wants to be saved. | ||
Music is Tyler’s way to deal with his problems, and throughout the 2015 album ''Blurryface'' he tells us he might not be alive if he didn’t do so. | |||
“''Heavydirtysoul''” reveals how Tyler thinks how he “didn’t lose his mind but he has a crazy mind to clean.” | |||
A bigger purpose of the song is how people look up to him. The entire song compares himself to a gangster, or looked up figure in some people’s lives, whether it has a good or bad correlation. Usually, people think of role models as strong people, but the song is about Tyler and how people look up to him, but he’s not a hero. He’s a person who has feelings and expresses them. | |||
In a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzd5UcEgR_o 2019 interview], ''Andrew Donoho'', the music video director, explained that the car falling apart symbolized the self-destructive nature of the ideas expressed in “''Heavydirtysoul''” and that similar to the car exploding after Tyler jumps out people need to put off such a mentality before they self-destruct completely. The wordings, like “heavy” and “dirty,” of the song and its title inspired the use of a car for the director. <ref>https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-heavydirtysoul-lyrics</ref> | |||
