Neon Gravestones Lyrics » twenty one pilots
[Intro]
Call (Call)
Call (Call)
Call (Call)
[Verse 1]
What’s my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
Keep your wits about you while you got ’em
‘Cause your wits are first to go while you’re problem-solvin’
And my problem?
We glorify those even more when they…
My opinion, our culture can treat a loss like it’s a win
And right before we turn on them
We give ’em the highest of praise
And hang their banner from the ceiling
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way, no
[Chorus]
Neon gravestones try to call (Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones (Neon gravestones try to call)
Call (For my bones)
Call, call, call (Call, call, call)
Call (Call)
Call (Call)

About twenty one pilots’s Neon Gravestones from Trench (2018)
“Neon Gravestones” attacks society’s practice of glorifying those who have committed suicide, and romanticizing the idea of taking your own life. In the context of
Trench’s
story, Tyler revealed in a 2020
hangout
with the Discord Clique that the main goal of the bishops’ religion, Vialism, reflects this glorification:
There’s a reason why the outside of Dema is all graves because…It’s presented to people in Dema that this [suicide] is a good thing, like this is what your goal is–to try to impact and affect as many people as you can and then ultimately this is your final act.
twenty one pilots have never shied away from talking about suicide with their lyrics, including songs like
“Truce,”
where Tyler Joseph sings:
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die
And one of their most popular hits,
“Car Radio,”
where Tyler talks about his own depression and will to live:
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Tyler also plays on the idea of “neon lights,” where celebrities dream of having their name in lights as a sign of success: a theme that has been discussed by plenty of different artists, including
Ed Sheeran,
Lil Wayne,
and
Lecrae.
The neon lights draw people in and will seem appealing to people who are on the streets. This is commonly used in Las Vegas to bring people off the streets into a casino or a bar, as it draws attention to the location. However, once that status has been achieved and the celebrity has committed suicide, their name lives on in the “neon gravestone” that may seem appealing to others who are facing a rough time.

FAQs About Neon Gravestones
What has Tyler Joseph said about this song?
In an
AltPress
interview
, Tyler stated:
There was a minute when I showed [Josh the song] and said to him, ‘Well, what do you think?’ It’s not a song where you listen to it once and say, ‘OK, this is where I land.’ It’s something you have to kinda live with for a little bit, talk about and bounce off of other people—give it oxygen and let it breathe.
So while it’s sitting there in Josh’s brain, I’m waiting to hear from him. Ultimately, if he says, ‘This is not coming off correctly or I think we should be worried about this not being perceived right,’ I would know that’s it. For him to live with it and come back and say, ‘I get behind this,’ is what I needed to hear.
The idea of self-harm, depression, suicide…I’d like to believe that there are multiple ways to approach it and talk about it. This angle that ‘Neon Gravestones’ is talking about is one that I haven’t heard much of and wanted because I know that’s what I’d respond to as a challenge. I think at some point, ‘We hear you and we are here for you and we understand you’…There’s a point where that doesn’t help. And what’s the opposite of that? That’s a challenge to step up and defeat something. To win.”
When [Atlantic Records] heard that song, there was a lot of red flags. They all listened to it and were extremely concerned about how it was going to come off. They described it as this giant landmine in the middle of the record…When ‘Neon Gravestones’ came around, it was another reason for them [the label] to show that ‘I don’t think this is the right direction for this record. You could lose your career if this song isn’t taken the right way.’

How did Josh Dun react when Tyler first presented the song to him?

:
I think we have always kind of seen eye-to-eye on a lot of different subjects…From political things to spiritual things. Which is why I think we started getting along right away. Like Tyler says, there can be sensitivity within those kinds of things so I want to find a balance between something that’s just not too sensitive but not too extreme. [The song] is something that I sat with for a bit, but I think that it’s kind of bold—and I like that.”
The piano melody sounds familiar, where did it come from?
The piano piece is actually sampled from a classical
sonata by Beethoven
