NF’s song “Paralyzed” is about depression, and it's very sad, which is unique for a rapper who's a well-known for how angry, intense, and energetic he can get. The song is really powerful, and I want to explain it to you.

Is the old Halsey back? Yes! And she is being angry about how she's treated as a woman, how she treats herself as a woman. So don’t tell her “Come on, little lady, give us a smile", or she’s going to be your nightmare. So let’s talk about this.
“Neon Gravestones“ is probably the hardest and the most controversial song on Trench; the thoughts and ideas in this song are worth considering, even if you find that you disagree in some way, you still need to consider what's being said here, because it is interesting, important, and dare I say it could even be life-changing.
“Smithereens”, the 6th song on the record Trench by twenty one pilots, a love song that isn’t like any other love song, and we love it. Let’s talk about it.
What?! Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie have actually collaborated on a new song, the music video for it just dropped out, and today we’re going to talk about it, and it’s nice message.
NF gets personal and vulnerable in “Lie”; and whether this song is based on a real relationship or not, it’s just too good and it’s worth talking about.
“Chlorine” is the fifth song in the album Trench by twenty one pilots, it is a beautiful song yet a confusing one, so let’s start breaking this one a bit, maybe we’ll get to know what is going on with Tyler Joseph, and Ned… Haven’t you seen Ned?!
NF’s “Mansion” is super deep, personal, and so worth talking about, and that’s what we’re going to do today.
