Twenty One Pilots - The Judge Lyrics

Twenty One Pilots Lyrics

"The Judge"

Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh

When the leader of the bad guys sang,
Something soft and soaked in pain,
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway,
He must've forgot to close his door,
As he cranked out those dismal chords,
And his four walls declared him insane.

I found my way,
Right time, wrong place,
As I pled my case.

You're the judge, oh no, set me free,
You're the judge, oh no, set me free,
I know my soul's freezing,
Hell's hot for good reason, so please, take me.

Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh

Three lights are lit but the fourth one's out,
I can tell 'cause it's a bit darker than the last night's bout,
I forgot about the drought of light bulbs in this house,
So I head out, down a route I think is heading south,

But I'm not good with directions and I hide behind my mouth,
I'm a pro at imperfections and I'm best friends with my doubt,
And now that my mind's out, and now I hear it clear and loud,
I'm thinking, "Wow, I probably shoulda stayed inside my house."

I found my way,
Right time, wrong place,
As I pled my case.

You're the judge, oh no, set me free,
You're the judge, oh no, set me free,
I know my soul's freezing,
Hell's hot for good reason, so please,

I don't know if this song is a surrender or a revel,
I don't know if this one is about me or the devil.

I don't know if this song is a surrender or a revel,
I don't know if this one is about me or the devil.

You're the judge, oh no, set me free, oh no
You're the judge, oh no, set me free, oh no
I know my soul's freezing,
Hell's hot for good reason, so please,

Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh
Na na na na, oh oh (You're the judge, oh no, set me free)
Na na na na, oh oh (You're the judge, oh no, set me free)
Na na na na, oh oh (You're the judge, oh no, set me free)
(Josh Dun!)
(You're the judge, oh no, set me free)

Thanks to Ashton_Faith09, cynthia, Mckayla, 21pilots af, Scout for correcting these lyrics.

Writer(s): Tyler Joseph

The first verse of these lyrics describes Tyler Joseph's fear of Blurryface, his alter ego made of depression and insecurities. Blurryface is somewhere in the back of Joseph's mind, driving him insane.

The judge of this song is apparently God from Christianity since both members of the band are known to be Christians.

"The Judge" was recorded with producer Mike Crossey at Livingston Studios in London.

The words "Josh Dun" can be heard at 4:25 point in this song, which was explained by Tyler Joseph on Twitter, "if you listen close 'the judge' at 4:25, i yell 'josh dun'. he was standing on the other side of the glass when i recorded that take."

album: "Blurryface" (2015)
