The Outside

about this song

“The Outside” expresses frontman Tyler Joseph’s criticisms toward the music industry as a whole, commentary on the monotony of mainstream music, and his reservations that what is considered mainstream will replace twenty one pilots. Tyler uses a variety of metaphors (e.g. a Megalodon and Megatron) to express a sense that the band was once a leader in their music due to their success during the Blurryface era when many of their songs topped the charts
