In this work, we know that this group of bishops Predicate a fictitious religion, called “Road”in a city controlled by themselves and called demand. From Tyler’s lyrics, the clique understood that roads were An extremist religion that applies toxic ideals, in the style of a sect, whose belief was that the only way to paradise was self -destruction. In demand, bishops manipulate people until they are empty and then use them, since they have the power to possess the body of others. We can locate Twenty One Pilots as the “Banditos”a group of rebels living in trenches away from demand and seeks to save people from roads.

At this point in the duo’s career, it could be interpreted that all this great musical universe was a way of expressing the mental struggles that musicians had, their relationship with life, death and meaning. “I love stories, I love to enter perspective.

That is why music sounds so cheerful and colors are bright. Of course, the work was not as successful as its predecessors, although it did continue with the narrative line.

A story that took 10 years to reveal himself and an uncertain end

Tyler manages to escape once againwhich leaves us today. In February last year, the band shared a video confirmed that Tyler was, indeed, Clancy, In addition to all complete history, or “Lore”.
