Drop, drop, drop anything for me
Drop, drop, drop anything for me


Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop<span class="tooltip-text">The chorus repeated throughout the song is from the perspective from a friend insisting that they don’t need/want anyone to support them through their turbulent period of mental health. They appear to do so because they don’t want to be a burden, forcing their friends to drop their plans to look after them.
Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop</span></div>
The chorus contrasts the rest of the song which is in the perspective of Tyler, urging listeners to check in with their friends “at the risk of feelin' dumb.”
In the history of twenty one pilots' music, the band is known for having songs that combat suicide such as “Guns for Hands.” It seems that the implication behind the lines is darker as if the narrator will potentially commit suicide if they are left on their own, refusing help from their friends. This message is explicit later in the song with the line “It’s not worth the risk of losin' a friend.”In the final line of the chorus, “drop” has a double meaning. “Drop” in this case, means to drop dead, as in the speaker never wants their friends to die young or die by suicide. This is reaffirmed in the music video, in which Tyler jumps off of a hay bale. There is even a frame where he lies lifeless next to the hay bale and the shed. During the video, the drop increases from hay bale, to shed, to single story, to bridge to finally a skyscraper, increasing the stakes (the “drop”) similar to the increased use of the lyric in the song.</span></span></div>
