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.^[1]

+[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'
-I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
+This doesn't mean I lost my dream
-I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
+It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
-I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
+[Pre-Chorus]
-I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
+Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm)
-But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think
+Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm)
+[Chorus]
+Can you save, can you save my
-My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
+Can you save, can you save my
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
+For me, for me (Uh)
-Wish we could turn back time
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-To the good old days
+For me, for me (Uh)
-When our mama sang us to sleep
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-But now we're stressed out (oh)
+[Verse 2]
-Wish we could turn back time (oh)
+Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said
-To the good old days (oh)
+If I didn't know better, I'd guess you're all already dead
-When our mama sang us to sleep
+Mindless zombies walkin' around with a limp and a hunch
-But now we're stressed out
+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
-We're stressed out
+One time to think and I say we start now
+Sing it with me if you know what I'm talkin' about
+[Pre-Chorus]
-Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
+Gangsters don't cry, therefore, therefore I'm (I'm)
-How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?
+Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm (I'm)
-I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
+[Chorus]
-Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
+Can you save, can you save my
-It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-Same clothes, homegrown, a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
+Can you save, can you save my
-But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
-Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter
+For me, for me (Uh)
+Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
+For me, for me (Uh)
