TWENTY ONE PILOTS LYRIC
Stressed Out
Track 2 on Blurryface
We used to play pretend,
give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship
an’ then we’d fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space,
but now they’re laughin’ at our face
Sayin’, “Wake up,
you need to make money!,” yeah

The Gospel According to Twenty One Pilots

COMMENTARY
The Good News according to Jesus (& tøp)
is that we’ve all been given the power
to “change the way we think.”

I grew up thinking the Bible
was just a bunch of rules.
Therefore, I grew up imagining God
as this big, grumpy authoritarian.
But then I read verses like Matthew 18:3
(or listen to songs like Stressed Out),
and I’m encouraged to consider
a new point of view.
What if, more than judging me,
God just wants to love me?
What if, instead of living under
the weight of disappointment,
God just wants me to live in wonder?
What if, more than being perfect,
God just wants me to be his kid?
