[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] There's an infestation in my mind's imagination I hope that they choke on smoke 'Cause I'm smokin' them out the basement This is not rap, this is not hip-hop Just another attempt to make the voices stop Rappin' to prove nothin', just writin' to say somethin' 'Cause I wasn't the only one who wasn't rushin' to sayin' nothin' This doesn't mean I lost my dream It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean [Pre-Chorus] Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm) Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm) [Chorus] Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul? [Verse 2] Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said If I didn't know better, I'd guess you're all already dead Mindless zombies walkin' around with a limp and a hunch Sayin' stuff like, "You only live once" You've got one time to figure it out One time to twist and one time to shout One time to think and I say we start now Sing it with me if you know what I'm talkin' about [Pre-Chorus] Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm) Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm) [Chorus] Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul? [Bridge] Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit [Chorus] Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? Can you save, can you save my Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul? For me, for me (Uh) Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

Lyrics meaning

Lyrics
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 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. ^[2]

+“''Heavydirtysoul''” opens with a genre-bending flurry of raps and industrial beats. It sets the tone for the rest of the album as an exploration of the ''Blurryface'' character created by singer [[Tyler Joseph|''Tyler Joseph'']].
-"People try to interpret what the song is saying and in a way I feel like I’m supposed to let that live and not answer the question. In short, there was a particular show that I was playing and at this time we were really able talk to everyone after a show. I remember this show in particular more than usual, kids came up to me and felt like they needed to share what it was they were going through and a lot of what they were going through had to do with suicide… thank goodness it had a lot to do with them overcoming it and using music and using songs, in particular my songs, to help them get over that and I was so inspired and so moved by that show and those kids that came up to me and shared with me their struggles with suicide and this song is very inspired by them and those people that struggle with that. I don’t claim to be a professional opinion on the topic because it’s dangerous to talk about suicide and to claim you have a voice on the issue but this song is about taking that negative energy and aiming it at something else, not aiming it at yourself, really giving these kids the power to know that they do have control over their circumstances."

-|Frontman Tyler Joseph has stated the following regarding this track:<blockquote>"I know you have the ability to hurt yourself, I recognize that, but let’s take that energy and let’s point it at something else, let’s divert that, let’s kind of shift momentum and look at something like art, or something like this music specifically or even point it at me, just point it anywhere. But don’t point it at yourself … that song will always be important to me." [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-guns-for-hands-lyrics <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]</blockquote>
