twenty one pilots – Semi-Automatic lyrics
Night falls, with gravity.
The earth turns, from sanity
Taking my O-nly friend I know,
Leaves a lie, His name is Hope

I’m never what I like
I’m double-sided.
And I just can’t hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up, inside.

The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on,
My shadow grows tall-er with my fears
And my friends shrink small as night grows near

When the sun is coming, window soothes
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun make the hills it's grave

I’m never what I like
I’m double-sided.
And I just can’t hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up, inside.

I’m never what I like
I’m double-sided.
And I just can’t hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up, inside my mind.

I’m semi-automatic,
My prayers; schizophrenic
But I’ll live on, yeah I’ll live on, yeah, I’ll live on
[4x]

By the time the night wears off, the dust is down
And shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground,
Waiting for the nights return
I’m never what I like
I’m double-sided.
And I just can’t hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up, inside.

I’m never what I like
I’m double-sided.
And I just can’t hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I’m twisted up, I’m twisted up, inside my mind.

    I always like how Tyler and Josh make the lyrics fuzzy and not obvious. Everyone has their own interpretation of their lyrics, and I think that's awesome. I think a lot of the songs on this album are not only about Tyler's depressing thoughts, but his relationship with God. Like me, I'm a Christian and I sometimes find it hard to keep relationships with God. At night I find ways to think I'm a horrible Christian, and those thoughts lead to questioning my existence and thinking of ending my life. It's complicated. I pray and pray thinking that I might go to Hell. I cling to God and am scared of him. I live on God (like the bridge of the song). I feel like my prayers are semi-automatic when I bow my head and that makes my faith in God fuzzy. This is just what I think, please don't be offended!

    I heard somewhere that it's about a werewolf. I think that Tyler and Josh make the lyrics vague on purpose, so that we can discover multiple meanings from them so that there's no correct interpretation. I love this song (and all TOP's other songs) and find that the lyrics to all the songs are quite sad or just eye opening but then Josh gives them a happy beat to show the contrast. These guys are musical G-E-N-I-U-S's.

    Unlike others, I knew Tyler and Josh personally. I knew them better than most. I know the real meaning of the lyrics. And I don't think you'd like the true meaning. There are many things about them that no one knows. Personally, I don't think anyone else should know, because it would crush them. Just like it crushed me. That's all I have to say.
