Meaning of Heathens (feat. MUTEMATH) by Twenty One Pilots

“Heathens” by Twenty One Pilots featuring MUTEMATH is a song that delves into themes of isolation, mistrust, and the challenges of fitting into society. The lyrics paint a picture of a group of outsiders or “heathens” who are wary of newcomers and have experienced abuse and rejection in the past.

The chorus reiterates the need to be cautious and patient in dealing with these individuals, highlighting the potential danger and emotional turmoil that can arise when interacting with them. The reference to waiting for them to ask who you know suggests a reluctance to let others in easily, as the heathens may have been hurt by past relationships or connections.

In the verses, the song describes a sense of disconnection and alienation from society, emphasizing the idea that even those sitting next to you may have hidden depths or dark pasts. The lines about checking guns at the door and not trusting outsiders highlight the paranoia and suspicion that the heathens harbor towards the world around them.

The bridge reinforces the message of taking things slow and being cautious when approaching these individuals. The repetition of the lines underscores the importance of patience and vigilance in navigating these relationships.

The outro suggests a sense of inevitability in joining the ranks of the heathens, as the protagonist finds themselves succumbing to the allure of this unconventional group despite the warnings and advice given.

Overall, “Heathens” conveys a complex narrative of fear, mistrust, and the desire for connection amidst a backdrop of darkness and uncertainty. The song’s haunting melody and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of finding acceptance in a world that often marginalizes those who do not fit the norm.

Lyrics of Heathens (feat. MUTEMATH) by Twenty One Pilots

Chorus
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (In the city, boy, in the city)
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

Verse 1
Welcome to the room of people who have rooms of people
That they loved one day, locked away
Just because we check the guns at the door
Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades
You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget

Chorus
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

Verse 2
We don't deal with outsiders very well
They say newcomers have a certain smell
You have trust issues, not to mention
They say they can smell your intentions
You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you
You'll have some weird people sitting next to you
You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget
(Watch it, watch it)

Chorus
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (In the city, boy, in the city)
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

Bridge
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (Watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know (Watch it)
Please all my friends are heathens, take it slow (Watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know

Outro
Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed (It's blasphemy)
I tried to warn you just to stay away (Wouldn't listen to me)
And now they're outside ready to bust (And guess what?)
It looks like you might be one of us
