Letra de
Stressed Out

La canción Stressed Out de Twenty One Pilots aborda temas de inseguridad, presiones sociales y una nostalgia por la comodidad y simplicidad de la infancia. La letra expresa el deseo de volver a un tiempo más simple, antes de que las preocupaciones adultas como el dinero y el empleo se tomaran el protagonismo. La referencia a Blurryface en la canción es una personificación de las inseguridades y dudas sobre sí mismo del vocalista Tyler Joseph.

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice and sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think

My name's Blurryface, and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface, and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
We're stressed out

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only ever sell one
It'd be to my brother cause we have the same nose
Same clothes, home grown, the stones thrown from the creek we used to roam
But it would remind of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter

My name's Blurryface, and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface, and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out

We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up you need to make money"
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up you need to make money"

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out

We used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up you need to make money", yeah
