Twenty One Pilots - Next Semester (Official Video)

"can't change what you've done. Start fresh next semester" is the new "the sun will rise and we will try again"

I’m glad to be alive for this

This bridge live is going to be a religious experience.

This album makes feel like a teenager again. This is the Twenty One Pilots that I fall in love.

The parting the crowd like car radio… i’m here for this album

Screaming “can’t change what you’ve done” live at the concerts is gonna be the greatest feeling ever

1:30 is by far my favorite part of this video. The repetition of the event over and over like PTSD, and how the memory evolves over time as part of healing, finally becoming the version of himself that anticipates the car and confidently jumps out of the way

Something i noticed personally is the lights. In the lore we know blue is surrender, the color of the neon gravestones, and yellow is hope and fire, adopted by the Banditos, so the lights of the cars being blue is pretty obviously death. And the light behind them while on stage are more of a yellow color, symbolizing they give hope to others, but there are light shining back on them from the front of the stage, meaning there fans give them hope in return, especially as they echo the words back at them. The strong transition form blue to Yellow is like they are pushing back agents the idea of surrendering. With the lirics that cause this change being "Can't change what you've done" (which to me is being told to accept what you did, that bad things really did happen) and "Start Fresh next semester" (which to me is saying you can forgive yourself and others and keep trying, keep moving forward.) This hope pushing back agents despair and gives Tyler himself strengths as he is now standing firm agents the cars that are now going around him, instead of him moving out of the way. Even pointing and calling out the lights as they go by. The lights going blue at the end are interesting as it's either the band claiming the color for themselves, (like they are doing with red, which originally was blurry face's color, but now is Clancy's) or Tyler is being lured away, back into the street at the end. Meaning it's something he is still going through. When he is alone, and the show is over, he'll have to face those thoughts again, but this time he has the memory of the show, the hope he both gave and received. The fight isn't over, but he is stronger now.

This is what Tyler meant when he said: "stay alive everybody, it's worth it i promise". Im soo glad i did.

the "can't change what you've done" part literally brings tears to my eyes

To me he’s describing an event that he’s already described but this time he’s not using metaphor or allegory. He’s basically exposing one of the real stories that inspired the creation of an allegorical world. The world of Trench and Dema isn’t lore, it’s an allegory where the characters and places represent different parts of Tyler’s psyche, which he used to examine and better understand himself.

So excited to see this live - just got tickets for their Seattle show. My spouse and I (ages 72 and 65) are gonna rock out with everyone else!

TWENTY ONE PILOTS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME

YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A BANGER WHEN THE UKULELE COMES OUT

Reasons to live: this album

As a procrastinating college student, I can confirm that I can't change what I've done, and I'll start fresh next semester.

Tyler’s voice in this song is 10/10 😭😭😭

Omg I just realized the connection between "Hey kid, get out of the road!" and how Truce was also filmed with Tyler in the middle of a street. The way they are able to bring everything together is amazing 😭

Why this song doesn't have more views I'll never understand. It's pure genius.

This is THE definition of a grower and man it doesn’t stop growing. This song is such an incredible experience.
