Twenty One Pilots - Fairly Local Lyrics

Twenty One Pilots Lyrics

"Fairly Local"

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets, you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm evil to the core
What I shouldn't do I will
They say I'm emotional
What I wanna save I'll kill
Is that who I truly am?
I truly don't have a chance
Tomorrow I'll keep a beat
And repeat yesterday's dance

Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burning but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets, you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm not evil to the core
What I shouldn't do I will fight
I know I'm emotional
What I wanna save I will try
I know who I truly am
I truly do have a chance
Tomorrow I'll switch the beat
To avoid yesterday's dance

Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burning but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets, you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets, you're walking down
I'm fairly local, good people now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah

I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Good people now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Good people now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Writer(s): Tyler Joseph

The lead single from their fourth album.

This song tells about two sides of the protagonist's personality: one verse is narrated by Blurryface, an alter ego made of his doubts, insecurities, and self-loathing; another is sung from the protagonist's point of view.

Tyler Joseph told Papermag.com about the sense of this song, "We had a lot of conversations with a lot of people who like listening to music or using music to get through tough times. [...] So it's kind of a way of getting on the same level as these people and telling them, in a sense, we understand what you're going through."" The chorus describes this quite literally.

Even without the official radio rotation, this track reached number four on the Billboard Digital Song chart and number eight on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.
